#97 Why Christianity's Metaphysics Makes it Superior to Other Religions

Join us for a deep dive into one of the most fundamental questions humanity has ever asked: What is really real? Also known as the study of metaphysics, this exploration of “prime reality” has been a part of human thought for thousands of years. But what does the Bible say about it?

We’ll discuss:

The quest for truth about the world, as expressed by Socrates and Scripture.

The relationship between the physical and non-physical aspects of reality.

Two key puzzles that every view of metaphysics must address: the "problem of the One and the Many" and the "Mind vs. Matter" question.

How the biblical worldview, centered on God and Jesus Christ, provides the answers to these philosophical challenges.

Whether you're new to metaphysics or looking to deepen your understanding of the biblical worldview, this livestream will equip you with the knowledge to talk about your faith and think biblically about all of life.

📖 Key Scripture: Proverbs 18:15 – "An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge."
