TESTIMONIALS
Dear Friends in Christ,
I am preparing a sermon on Same-Sex marriage for my congregation
(Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod) and came across this article. This is
my first time reading Dr. Craig but it will not be my last. What a well
reasoned, Biblically sound argument explaining God's views on against
homosexual behavior. I even hesitate to call it an argument because the
term seems to mean contentiousness. Dr. Craig was hardly contentious.
He simply laid out the Biblical facts without the mean-spiritedness that
sometimes good-meaning Christians are guilty of. I remember an
interview Larry King had with Billy Graham in which King tried to zing
Dr. Graham, accusing him of narrow-mindedness. Dr. Graham simply stated
the Biblical truths about God's love for all sinners. As I read this
article, I thought that Dr. Craig should be given some national stage to
convey these truths. His words are so seasoned with grace.
Fantastic article! I will lean on it heavily for my sermon. My prayer
for myself this week is that I can express God's will regarding this
topic in as clear and forthright way as possible but also God's love in
Jesus for every person regardless of their sexual practice. In other
words, I am striving to hate the sin, but love the sinner. This article
helped me in so many ways, so thank you.
Blessings!
-Rev. Dr. Arnold
Dear Reasonable Faith,
I am sorry that this is likely sent to the wrong email, but I hope that you might still be able to give it a read! My name is Luke, I am 22 years old and am from Northamptonshire, England. I am blessed to be able to say that I have now been a Christian for four years, having been converted through my introduction to christian apologetics. Articles on your website and videos of Dr Craig’s debates particularly played a massive role in that process, so I must express my deepest thanks for your work. Blessed are the feet of those who bring good news!
I was actually converted just before going to university. I went to King’s College Cambridge where I read Philosophy. I had a fantastic time with the course and developed a deep love for the subject. I also got very involved with the Christian Union at the university, serving as the college CU rep for King’s for two years. In fact, Dr Craig came to speak at one of the events the CU co-hosted in my first year with the Union and debated my Metaphysics lecturer, Arif Ahmed. I had a brief and interesting chat with him afterwards though I would be very surprised if he remembers me!
I graduated from Kings last year, and am now doing a voluntary year with UCCF (the UK equivalent of InterVarsity) supporting the CU in Cambridge. I am having a fantastic time, but I think that my gifting and passion lies at least for now in Philosophy. I have an offer to do an MA degree in Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics at Bristol next year.
I am very much interested in nominalistic metaphysics (again inspired by Dr Craig!), the foundations of mathematics, particularly the viability of a constructive project, the philosophy of modality, the philosophy of science, and aspects of metametaphysics such as the relation between descriptive and normative metaphysics and the place of mystery and contradiction in reason. It seems to me that in this last area a Christian perspective is most needed, with analytic philosophers so often unreasonably assimilating any mystery to contradiction. As far as I can see a lot of this can be attributed to Davidson’s deeply flawed but greatly influential article, ‘On the Very Idea of a Conceptual Scheme’. If I get onto the MA program I would certainly aim to go on to a PhD and a career in academic philosophy to try and be a positive influence for the Church in that field.
Thanks so much,
-Luke
Dear dr. William Lane Graig i write this message because i want to thank you. I am a 15 year old boy from norway, so excuse me for my english. I dont know if you will ever read this, and I dont know if I sent this message to the right email, but i felt that i needed to tell you what you have done for me. I was born in a christian family, so I have always lived a life as a christian. When i was little, I did not think all that much about my belifes. But as I got older, I started having doubts. And I did not see any reason to belive in god. This made me sad and I prayed. Still I could not convince myself to belive what once made me so happy. I made a searh for arguments for god, and i watched your debate against mr.Hitchens. I was amazed at how strong the theistic case were, and how week the atheistic view were. I watched all your debates, watced pretty much all christian vs atheist deabate i could find. This led me to read "gods undertaker" and "I dont have enough faith to be an atheist". I am saving money now to buy your book "on guard". You are one of my big idols and have brought meaning to my lige again. Hope you read this, I know you have alot to do. THANK YOU.

Hey!
I was listening to the podcast and heard Dr. Craig say that he isn't sure what Plantinga thinks about the Kalam argument. So I just wanted to pass this on, from an email exchange I had with Plantinga:
"As for the cosmo arg, Bill Craig's versions are quite compelling."
Sounds like he thinks it's pretty good!
God bless and thank you for all the great material!

I just wanted to thank John Mazzitelli for the work he has put in on the Defenders transcripts. I have been using them in my morning devotional time and have found them incredibly valuable. I copied and pasted all the Series 2 transcripts into a Word file and it came to 815,000 words!! Thank you John for your work!!
