Objection #7: Church History Is Littered with Oppression and Violence (2001) (Interview w/ John D. Woodbridge, Ph.D.) Kyle J. Gerkin This objection is a statement of fact, which cannot be avoided.

Objection #6: A Loving God Would Never Torture People In Hell (2001) (Interview w/ J.P. Moreland, PH.D.) Kyle J. Gerkin Tackling Templeton’s Challenge Moreland insists hell is not a torture chamber. He says hell is really a separation from God. He stresses that God is loving, but also just (172-4). Problems: Right away, Moreland […]
Objection #5: It’s Offensive To Claim Jesus Is The Only Way To God (2001) (Interview w/ Ravi Zacharias, D.D., LL.D.) Kyle J. Gerkin For someone who is of a non-Christian religion, I suppose the claim of Jesus as a sole source of salvation is offensive. But maybe not. If your goal is not to become […]
Objection #3: Evolution Explains Life, So God Isn’t Needed (2001) (Interview w/ Walter L. Bradley, Ph.D.) Kyle J. Gerkin This objection is extremely poorly phrased. From a reading of the chapter, it is clear that Strobel’s phrasing, "Evolution Explains Life" means more specifically, evolution explains the origin of life or how evolution was able […]
Objection #2: Since Miracles Contradict Science, They Cannot Be True (2001) (Interview w/ William Lane Craig, Ph.D.) Kyle J. Gerkin Craig is quite notorious on the Secular Web. If you are interested in the transcript of a debate between Craig and (atheist) Dr. Douglas M. Jesseph on the existence of God, it may be […]
Objection #1: Since Evil & Suffering Exist, A Loving God Cannot (2001) (Interview w/ Peter John Kreeft, PH.D.) Kyle J. Gerkin A Bear, A Trap, A Hunter, And God The idea here is that God must allow some short term suffering in order to achieve a greater good. The analogy employed by professor Kreeft […]
Introduction (2001) Kyle J. Gerkin At a recent family gathering the issue of my atheism was raised, though not for the first time, and I professed that I was as staunch an unbeliever as ever. Afterwards, an aunt of mine (who has recently become an evangelical Christian) pulled me aside and handed me a […]
Conclusion (2001) Kyle J. Gerkin A Suspect Approach The Case For Faith suffers from dishonesty in its approach. The book fancies itself as "a journalistic investigation into the toughest objections to Christianity." But the aim of the author, Lee Strobel, is not an objective, journalistic investigation, but rather an apologetic refutation. Strobel is an […]
Holding Overruled! (2002) Kyle J. Gerkin This is a response to a review by James Patrick Holding of a piece I wrote entitled “Objections Sustained,” a critique of Lee Strobel’s book, The Case For Faith. For the purposes of this document: Holding’s review is in plain text. Excerpts from my original essay are in […]
An Agnostic Theology (2010) Kile Jones 1. Introduction For years now we have thought that agnosticism and theology were incompatible, for lack of better reasons, because theology was thought to entail revelation. Revelation, in turn, was considered by some theologians as an adequate source of knowledge, and claims to knowledge of God were not considered […]
INVERSELY to the remoteness of time has been man’s ascent toward the temple of knowledge. Truth has made its ingress into the human mind in the ratio by which man has attained the capacity to receive and appreciate it. Hence, as we tread back the meandering pathway of human history, every step in the receding […]

Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. NOTE OF EXPLANATION IN Chapter XXXI we have traced Christianity to Essenism. This may need a fuller explanation than we have yet devoted to this point, though we have stated several times we consider them essentially one. The Essenes had their “Exoteric’ and their “Esoteric” doctrines. The latter, […]
IMPORTANT FACTS CONSTITUTING THE BASIS OF THIS WORK. IGNORANCE of science and ignorance of history are the two great bulwarks of religious error.

“THE WORLD’S SIXTEEN CRUCIFIED SAVIORS.” What an imposing title for a book! What startling developments of religious history it implies! Is it founded on fact or on fiction? If it has a basis of truth, where was such an extraordinary mine of sacred lore discovered? Where were such startling facts obtained as the title of […]
Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. THE various deific titles applied to Jesus Christ in the New Testament are regarded by some Christian writers as presumptive evidence of his divinity. But the argument proves too much for the case; as we find the proof in history that many other beings, whom Christians regard as […]
Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now.

Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. A PROFUSION of evidence is furnished at every step, along the devious pathway of sacred history, tending to show that all the systems of worship which have existed in the past have had a dip in “the halo of the heavenly orbs,” and hence shine with a light […]
Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. THE report in authentic history of a case of a virtuous woman giving birth to a child with the usual form, and possessing the usual characteristics of a human being, and who should testify she had no male partner in the conception, might in an age of miracles […]

CHAPTER XLV IN writing the concluding chapter of this work, the author deems it proper to re-state some points, and elaborate others, and anticipate some objections to some of the positions advanced. Each division of the subject will be marked by a separate figure, and treated in a […]
Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. THE most important lesson deducible from all the religious systems, commemorated in history, and noticed in this work, is, that all religious conceptions, whether in the shape of doctrine, precept, prophecy, prayer, religious devotion, or a belief in miracles, are a spontaneous outgrowth of the moral and religious […]
Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. THEIR NUMEROUS EVILS AND ABSURDITIES OF all the follies ever enacted or exhibited under the sun, and of all the ignorance of history, science, and human nature ever displayed in the history of the human race, that which stands out in bold relief, as preeminent, is the fashionable […]
Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. THERE are many incidents related in the life of Christ, which, when critically examined, furnish abundant evidence that he was what is now known as a spiritual medium. He unquestionably represented, and often practically exhibited, several important phases of mediumship. The many instantaneous cures which he wrought, […]
Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. HIS TWO HUNDRED ERRORS THE exaltation of men to the character and homage of divine beings has always had the effect to draw a vail over their errors and imperfections, so as to render them imperceptible to those who worship them as Gods.

Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. IF Jesus Christ were truly God, or if there existed such a coequal and co-essential oneness between the Father and the Son that they constituted but one being or divine essence, then what is true of one is true of the other, and a change of names and […]
Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. THE ancients very naturally concluded that an offspring of God (a son of God) should have a purer, higher and holier maternal origin than is incident to the lot of mortals, and this was to constitute one of the evidences of his emanation from the Deity — that […]
Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. THE monstrous scientific paradox (as coming ages will regard it) comprehended in the conception of an almighty, omnipresent, and infinite Being, “the Creator of innumerable worlds,” (“by him [Christ] were all things made that were made,” John i. 3-10), being born of a frail and finite woman, as […]
Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. A MOST fatal distrust is thrown upon the miraculous portions of the history of Jesus Christ, as found in his Gospel narratives, by the discovery of the fact (brought to light through recent archaeological researches), that the same marvelous feats, the same miraculous incidents, which were recorded in […]
Order The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors now. THERE is also a physiological principle (discovered by the author) comprised in the doctrine of the Divine Incarnation fatal in its practical and logical application to the divinity of Jesus Christ, and all the other incarnate or flesh-invested Gods of antiquity.
