Christianity and Slavery: How Christianity Set the Foundation for the World-Wide Abolition of Slavery

Christianity is often called a “slave” religion. But the fact is very different. Although there were Christian slaveowners, slavery at its core is incompatible with Christianity.  In this session, Dr. H.C. Felder will show how slavery was tolerated since the dawn of man through various cultures and religions and how Christianity set the foundation for the abolition of slavery world-wide.

Racism and the Bible

Does the Bible condone slavery?  Does the Bible teach the separation of races? Does the Bible teach that Black people are cursed?  In this episode of Giving An Answer, H.C. Felder responds to these charges by looking at the Bible to determine what the Bible actually teaches.

A New Look at the Crusades

The Crusades is often pointed to as an example of the cruelty of religion in general and Christianity in particular.  However, the only perspective that is usually given is through the eyes of Muslims.  Rarely is the story told from the perspective of Christians.  In this broadcast of Giving An Answer, H.C. Felder gives a Christian response and perspective of the Crusades.

Dr. H.C. Felder’s Book is Here!

The African American Guide to the Bible deals with the arguments used to support the idea that Christianity and the Bible are incompatible with people of color.  The book demonstrates that the Bible alone is God’s word,  people of color are central and prominent in the biblical landscape, and God views all of humanity as one.

Purpose

The purpose of Giving An Answer is to demonstrate to an unbelieving world that Christianity is the true Faith, and that the true Faith is based on sound evidence. The ministry equips Christians with solid answers to tough questions. As a result, Christians are both built up in their own faith and better able articulate the truth and win others to Christ.

Articles

Read articles that deal with various topics concerning the evidence for Christianity. Topics include the nature of God, biblical prophecy, biblical inspiration, evidence for the resurrection, the nature of evil, the Qur’an and more.

In his book titled Twenty-Six Reasons Why Jews Don’t Believe in Jesus, author Asher Norman outlines twenty six reasons why Jews reject both Jesus and Christianity.  He attacks the person of Jesus, the reliability of the New Testament, and the need for salvation as taught in Christianity.  It would take a book to respond to each and every argument proposed by Norman.  However, this paper will address arguments that lie at the heart of his objections.  It will respond to his objections concerning Jesus as Messiah, the New Testament as inspired, and the need for atonement as taught in the Bible.  The paper will also demonstrate that Norman’s objections to Jesus and Christianity are without merit.

Throughout the history of western thought, numerous philosophers and great thinkers have struggled with what is known as The Problem of Evil.  A number of influential philosophers have posited the incompatibility between the existence of God and the existence of evil.  A number of theists have defended their co-existence.  Former Oxford professor of Philosophy J.L Mackie took the theist to task by attempting to expose their arguments as invalid and unpersuasive.  Mackie represents a number of non-theistic criticisms of theistic arguments for The Problem of Evil.[1]  Because of this, I will examine Mackie’s arguments from a theistic perspective and demonstrate that it is Mackie who has failed to be persuasive in his arguments against the positions that reconcile the existence of God with evil.

As a Christian Apologist, I often engage people who are atheist or of different faiths.  If we talk long enough, the topic of the Crusades is bound to come up.  In this paper, I would like to present a view of the Crusades that goes against the commonly held beliefs of most people. This paper will focus on the First Crusades.  It will examine the Crusades from a traditional view and then from a historical view.  Both views will then be evaluated.

I remember when I first started learning about the three great arguments for the existence of God.  The first argument is the argument from the universe.  It basically goes like this: everything that comes into existence needs a cause, the universe came into existence, therefore the universe needs a cause.  The argument goes on to demonstrate, scientifically, that the cause is consistent with the God of the Bible.
