Today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast includes the following topics:
Hank’s Prologue:
- Hank shares his thoughts on an article in the CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL titled “Doubt as Virtue: How to Doubt and Have Faith without Exploding.” The author of the article, Travis Dickinson, encourages readers not to ignore their doubts, but address them directly. When encountering supposed discrepancies such as the different accounts of the women at the tomb conveyed in the Gospels, you shouldn’t immediately jump ship, but rather give Scripture the benefit of the doubt. You should also evaluate your doubts: is it really a viable objection? Is it a reasonable doubt? By exploring your doubts, you will gain more knowledge and an even greater faith.
