In a recent dialogue with Roman Catholic historian Dr. Ed Mazza, I misinterpreted one of the most debated passages between Catholics and Protestants: “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.” What does Jesus mean by “this rock”? Is Peter the foundation of the Church, or does the passage point to Peter’s confession and ultimately to Christ Himself? Let’s examine Matthew 16:18 in context and across the New Testament.

Does Exodus 21:22–25 teach that the unborn are less valuable than their mothers? Many claim this passage supports abortion, but a careful examination tells a different story. This article analyzes the context, the original Hebrew, and the law of retaliation (lex talionis) to show why this text does not justify abortion. Discover why many biblical scholars conclude that Exodus 21 actually affirms the equal value of both the mother and her unborn child.

Did Jesus ever claim to be God? Many skeptics argue that Jesus never explicitly declared His divinity, but the Gospels paint a different picture. From “I AM” statements to forgiving sins and claiming unity with the Father, Jesus repeatedly made claims that His followers and enemies understood as declarations of deity. Explore the biblical evidence and discover why the question, “Who do you say that I am?” still matters today.

Should Christians have children if eternal conscious torment is real? This article tackles the moral and emotional weight behind that question, exploring free will, suffering, and the purpose of life from a biblical perspective. Is existence a gift worth the risk? Discover why Scripture presents children as a blessing and how Christians can trust God with their children’s eternal future.

Explore what Scripture truly teaches about heaven, hell, and eternal judgment, addressing the growing popularity of annihilationism and universalism.

The Sermon on the Mount reveals Jesus’ vision for spiritual growth, sanctification, and true Christian maturity. In this reflective blog, explore how the Beatitudes outline the believer’s journey toward Christlikeness—from humility and repentance to righteousness, perseverance, and ultimate hope in Heaven. Rooted in Scripture, this post unpacks how following Jesus on the narrow path transforms our hearts and shapes our daily walk with God.

Some object to Christianity by saying God or some higher power cannot be understood because He or it is too far beyond our understanding. However, this is a self-defeating objection for he/she claims to understand/know something about the apparently unknowable higher power.

Thus, my response to the many comments asserting the Bible can't be used as evidence for the resurrection of Jesus is that they are wrong. The historical documents contained in the Bible comprise the best-supported sources from ancient times. One is free to reject the claims of the Bible (i.e., miracles), but to assert one cannot use it as evidence for investigating historical claims it makes is baseless (not even non-Christian scholars take this position).

Miracles do not violate the laws of nature. This can be understood when properly defining "miracles" and the "laws of nature."
