The Historical Reliability of Acts Faith Because of Reason 2024-03-13 | Click here to support my research: patreon.com/FaithBecauseofReason?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkClick here to make a one-time donation: paypal.me/davidpallmann?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USWhat is the book of Acts? Is it a reliable history of the early church and the life of the apostle Paul? Or is it a rather late, largely fictional retelling of these events? It is safe to say that modern New Testament scholarship strongly favors this latter option. But what if there is compelling evidence telling in favor of the historical reliability of Acts? And if so, what are the ramifications of this evidence for the Christian faith and Christian apologetics? This video will explore these questions arguing that there is excellent evidence for the reliability of the book of Acts and that this fact serves an critical role in making the case for the resurrection of Jesus.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction01:05 - Authorship of Luke-Acts07:12 - Date of Composition of Luke-Acts08:09 - Does Luke-Acts Know Josephus?15:47 - Is Luke-Acts Never Quoted Before 150 AD?20:36 - When Was Papias Writing?24:29 - Was Acts Written Before 70 AD?31:01 - Internal Evidence of Reliability31:30 - Names, Titles, and Places35:39 - Correlations with the Pauline Corpus36:28 - Undesigned Coincidences38:07 - ConclusionSources:Cynic Sage or Son of God? - Gregory A.

David Hume famously argued that it is not. But despite over 200 years of steady criticism, there remain a number of philosophers who defend Hume's argument.

I’ve been pondering this issue on and off for the past several years and my perspectives are, in many regards, unique. I hold to an indeterministic conception of free will which would probably be considered libertarian by many although I have developed some reservations about using that term. The plan for this video is as follows: First, I will offer a brief overview of the contemporary options in the free will debate and get some working definitions on the table. I will then present what I take to be the most plausible account of free will, namely an agent-causal account. I will present an original, although not decisive, argument for why we should think that this account is true. Finally I shall address the two most common objections to agent-causal indeterminism. I will explore and reject the idea that this account of free will is incoherent and reduces to random chance. Then I shall critique the notion that scientific developments in neuroscience has shown that our decisions are predetermined.Chapters:00:00:00 - Introduction00:02:40 - A Brief Survey of the Landscape00:10:27 - Event-Causation vs. Agent-Causation00:14:13 - Defending Agent-Causation00:23:25 - Simple Indeterminism00:29:12 - A Modest Argument For Indeterminism00:32:28 - Defining Determinism and Indeterminism00:35:45 - Abductive Reasoning 10100:39:12 - The Phenomenology of Deliberation00:42:25 - Determinism Entails Additional Complexity00:46:45 - Objections and Replies00:51:02 - The Randomness Objection00:54:23 - The Extended Randomness Objection01:00:28 - Has Science Disproved Free Will?01:15:38 - ConclusionSources:Four Views on Free Will - John Martin Fischer, Robert Kane, Derk Pereboom, and Manuel Vagas Living Without Free Will - Derk PereboomExcusing Sinners and Blaming God - Guillaume BignonFree Will: Sourcehood and its Alternatives - Kevin TimpeFreedom and Neurobiology - John R.

Is determinism somehow epistemically self-defeating? And if so, then does this provide us with some reason to think that God exists? An apologist by the name of Tim Stratton strong believes so. This video will critically assess his defenses of these claims and argue that they are ultimately unsuccessful. After that, I will develop and defend an argument which will show that one cannot simultaneously affirm both the third and fourth premises of Stratton's argument at the same time.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction03:07 - The Argument05:17 - Premise 108:09 - Premise 208:27 - Premise 3: The Key Premise10:42 - The Genetic Fallacy13:34 - A Counterexample18:20 - A Dilemma for Stratton19:36 - Restriction to Inferential Knowledge?25:26 - A Plausible Account of Inferential Justification29:07 - Transcendental Concerns35:46 - The Incompatibility of Stratton's P3 and P446:03 - ConclusionSources:Human Freedom, Divine Knowledge, and Mere Molinism - Timothy A.

Is The Bible Our Highest Authority? Faith Because of Reason 2023-12-12 | Click here to support my research: patreon.com/FaithBecauseofReason?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkClick here to make a one-time donation: paypal.me/davidpallmann?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USMany Christians believe that it is wrong to offer unbelievers evidence for the truth of Christianity. In particular, such objections can be found among Christian presuppositional apologists. They argue that the traditional method of apologetics dishonors Scripture by not giving it the respect it is due. The concern is that offering evidence for the truth of Scripture gives evidence a greater weight of authority than Scripture. In this video, I hope to show that the traditional apologist can answer this type of argument in a two-fold fashion. Once we firmly grasp what it means to say that Scripture is one’s highest authority, it will become clear that this belief is not in conflict with presenting evidence for the truth of Scripture. In short, traditional, evidence-based, apologetics is harmonious with the affirmation that Scripture is the Christian’s highest authority.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction03:19 - Two Different Types of Authority05:04 - Scripture as an Epistemic Authority07:39 - The Need for Reasons to Believe Putative Authorities09:44 - Scripture as a Highest Epistemic Authority11:06 - Evidence is Not an Type of Authority12:40 - The Underlying Concern14:56 - Can Evidence be Greater than God?16:25 - ConclusionSources:youtube.com/watch?v=aQKjUzotw_Y&t=0s“The Sufficiency of Scripture in Apologetics,” TMSJ 12/1 (Spring 2001) - Michael J.

The Argument From Forced-Fulfilled Prophecy Faith Because of Reason 2023-11-11 | Click here to support my research: patreon.com/FaithBecauseofReason?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkClick here to make a one-time donation: paypal.me/davidpallmann?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USThere are numerous arguments for the historical reliability of the Gospels based upon their contents. These include the accuracy of the Gospel authors with respect to geographical locations and names, as well as local customs, and cultural references. Then there are undesigned coincidences, unnecessary details, unexplained allusions, and unified personalities throughout the Gospels. All of these arguments have in common the idea that certain details within the Gospels are unlikely to have been fabricated because they are difficult to engineer, and correspond to the known characteristics of reliable testimony. Together, they form a powerful abductive argument for the historical reliability of the Gospels. Most of these arguments have already received attention both in writing and in videos. However, there is a further argument which I would add to this repertoire of arguments which has not hitherto been developed in any detail, at least not to my knowledge. I call this the argument from forced-fulfilled prophecy.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction01:29 - The Reality of Forced-Fulfillment06:05 - A Distinctive Feature of Matthew's Gospel07:10 - Midrash09:38 - An Argument For Historical Reliability13:33 - New Moses Typology?16:27 - Historicity: The Best Explanation17:18 - ConclusionSources:Jesus and the Gospels - Craig L.

The most sophisticated attempt at providing such an argument comes from James N. Anderson and Greg Welty in their 2011 paper “The Lord of Non-Contradiction: An Argument for God from Logic”. I am actually on-board with most of the premises of this argument. However, I think that the chief flaw emerges in a subtle and unjustified inference from necessary truth to necessary existence. This video will explain the argument and the rationale behind each premise, before developing this point as a fundamental objection to the argument from logic.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction01:56 - The Argument From Logic Stated04:28 - The Laws of Logic are Necessarily True Propositions07:14 - What About Non-Classical Logics?09:17 - Necessarily True Propositions Exist in All Possible Worlds11:55 - The Laws of Logic Exist in All Possible Worlds12:24 - Propositions are Non-physical and Intentional14:50 - Non-physical and Intentional Entities are Thoughts24:20 - The Laws of Logic are Thoughts24:43 - Mental Entities Exist Within a Mind24:51 - The Laws of Logic Exist Within a Mind24:59 - Therefore, God Exists26:14 - Critique of the Argument26:38 - Non-Divine Conceptualism: A Proposal27:29 - The Shareability Objection30:32 - Tu Quoque?33:49 - The Epistemic Access Problem For Divine Conceptualism36:03 - The Metaphysics of Possible Worlds and Necessary Truths40:05 - Objections to Non-Divine Conceptualism48:27 - An Alternative Account of Necessary Truth50:13 - Summary and ConclusionSources:“The Lord of Non-Contradiction: An Argument for God from Logic” Philosophia Christi 13:2 (2011) - James N.

How to Defeat the Argument From Undesigned Coincidences: A Skeptics Guide Faith Because of Reason 2023-10-25 | Click here to support my research: patreon.com/FaithBecauseofReason?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkClick here to make a one-time donation: paypal.me/davidpallmann?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USThe argument from undesigned coincidences is an argument which is used in tandem with a series of other arguments to present a holistic argument which concludes that the four canonical Gospels represent a generally historically accurate picture of the life and deeds of Jesus. Lydia McGrew served to revive the argument within contemporary apologetics with the publication of her 2017 book Hidden in Plain View. The argument has, of course, sparked a reaction from many skeptics. I would have liked to make a video defending the argument from undesigned coincidences from the criticisms which it has faced. However, after seeing how badly almost all criticisms of the argument misunderstand it, I thought I would try doing something a bit different. In this video, rather than defend the argument from the extremely misguided criticisms which it has faced heretofore, I will instead sketch a strategy for what a successful refutation of this argument would actually look like. The title of this video is somewhat misleading. I am personally persuaded that the argument from undesigned coincidences is a good argument for the historical reliability of the Gospels. As such, I do not think that the response to the argument which I will sketch here can actually be successfully completed. But I am offering it to skeptics in the hopes that, by seeing what it would take to successfully invalidate the argument from undesigned coincidences, they will better understand the argument from undesigned coincidences.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction02:28 - The Logic Behind the Argument05:20 - Defining and Identifying Undesigned Coincidences08:25 - Examples of Undesigned Coincidences13:55 - The Larger Whole Behind the Texts19:31 - Inference to the Best Explanation22:15 - The "Divide and Conquer" Strategy32:45 - A Shortcoming in the Strategy33:15 - ConclusionSources:Hidden in Plain View - Lydia McGrewCan We Trust the Gospels? - Peter J.

Making Sense of Old Testament Violence Faith Because of Reason 2023-10-18 | Click here to support my research: patreon.com/FaithBecauseofReason?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkClick here to make a one-time donation: paypal.me/davidpallmann?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USThe Old Testament in the Bible contains many very challenging passages for modern Christians. Some of the rules and regulations just seem arbitrary such as the well-known dietary laws prohibiting foods like pork and shellfish, or laws prohibiting the mixing of different types of fabric. Some of these seem very cruel such as commands to stone disobedient children to death and to cut off the hand of a woman who touches a man’s genitals. Some of these passages are actually disturbing such as verses which describe the proper treatment of slaves, and implicitly endorse the acceptability of capturing enemies and turning them into slaves. More troubling still are verses which seemingly approve of capturing enemy women and forcing them to marry Israelite soldiers. And of course, most troubling of all are the commands from God to wipe out the Canaanites including non-combatants like women, children, and even infants. This video will explore these issues and how Christians have responded to the challenges posed by these texts. I will caution against various extremes before proposing what I see as being the most promising way to understand them.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction01:40 - A Brief Autobiography04:05 - Some "Solutions" Which Don't Work12:07 - The Redemptive Movement Hermeneutic21:29 - Forced Marriages and War R@pe25:54 - The Canaanite Genocide33:35 - Slavery in the Old Testament35:45 - Hand Amputation42:04 - A Final Concern46:12 - ConclusionSources:Holy War in the Bible - Heath A.
