Worldview Legacy | The Think Institute

This is the latest of the Chaplain's Corner episodes, a series of low-key, short lessons on the biblical worldview for dads to share with their kids. Today we're talking about sin and it's effect on the world (and how Jesus Christ puts it back together).  ***** Subscribe to the Think Institute's YouTube Channel: http://youtube.com/thethinkinstitute We hope this episode is helpful.

Have you ever been asked a question that you weren't ready for? Maybe it was one of your employees asking your opinion on some current event. Or maybe it was a kid in the Sunday School class you teach—or even your own kid—asking you something about God, or the Bible, or how we really know something we believe is true… and it caught you off-guard? In this video you will hear biblical answers to: • What Bible passage has had the greatest impact on my life? • Who is the most "based" person in the Old Testament? • Are Catholics and Mormons real Christians? • What does the Bible say about "the gays?" • How do you explain things in science that contradict God's truth? • How does science prove creationism? • Why is the Bible so against hate, when hate is "based" and usually justified? • How can God justify nine abused kids dying in a fire? I've been there too. We all have. But the founding belief of the Think Institute is that no believer should ever get caught flat-footed when asked about what, or why, we believe. That's why I do AMAs on Discord. AMA stands for "Ask Me Anything," and Discord is a web app for hosting chat and voice discussions. Twice a month, I hop on Discord, and Elipsis, one of the owners of the Politics server, and a Christian, hosts a voice chat room, where anyone can ask me any question about the biblical perspective on life, right and wrong, truth, science, God, Jesus, church, philosophy… you get the idea. I do these AMAs not because I have all the answers, but in order to sharpen my skills in "being ready to answer anyone," as 1 Peter 3:15 says, and to clear away obstacles to faith that my discussion partners may have, as well as to help you, the ThinkSquad, be more ready for the next time you are faced with an unexpected question about what you believe. And you know it's coming. Oh, and you may find that some of your own questions are answered as well. I hope you enjoy, and are edified by this AMA.

Welcome to the Think Podcast with Joel Settecase. This is the latest of the Chaplain's Corner episodes, a series of short lessons that I gave to my sons' TrailLife troop. I'm the assistant chaplain for the troop. My purpose here is to give you dads something bite-sized to pass along to your children, to help give them a biblical perspective on life. After all, you can't defend the Christian message if you don't understand and believe it. If you enjoy this please subscribe to the show. And if you're blessed by the Think Institute please consider partnering with us prayerfully and financially, by going to thethink.institute/partner.

What is really real? What explains reality and why things are the way they are?  The study of real reality, prime reality, is metaphysics. And the question of prime reality has been a live one at least since Heraclitus said "All is fire" and Thales said "All is water. There are other questions bound up with this question, too. As a thoughtful follower of Jesus Christ, you need to be able to answer them. And you need to be prepared to teach your kids how to answer them too.  These are what we'll look at in this episode. How do we explain why there are necessary things (like laws of logic and morality) and contingent things (like matter and energy)? How do we account for oneness and diversity? Oneness refers to laws, principles, categories. Diversity refers to individuals, entities, and facts. And how do we explain why the world seems to have both mind and matter in it? Can matter give rise to mind (a kind of materialist explanation)? Is everything really mind (pan-psychism?) As Christians, we aren't left to speculate. We have a key, found in the Bible. Non-biblical worldviews try hard but fail to account for the way reality really is. This isn't because reality is hard to explain but because building upon a false foundation. The key to understanding the cosmos is not to examine its parts in relation to itself, but to consider it all (sum and part) in relation to its Creator.

In this episode, Roy Schwarcz joins me again, and he's going to lay out in vivid detail the proof, from the Old Testament, from the Tanakh, that Jesus of Nazareth really is the promised Messiah. Roy and I have talked about Passover (here: https://thethink.institute/articles/why-do-christians-celebrate-passover-roy-schwarcz-2021-interview) and Shavuot (here: https://thethink.institute/articles/shavuotpentecost-explained-from-a-messianic-jewish-perspective), and I think you'll be educated, edified and encouraged by what he has to say about Jesus being the Messiah. So sit back—or better yet, sit forward—listen up, and I'll give you a heads-up that you may want to be ready to pause this one and jot down notes as we go. There's a lot here, and it's really, really good. You will learn: What was required of the Messiah? How did Jesus meet the requirements? How do we communicate this to our Jewish neighbors (and our kids)?

This is an Apologetics AMA (Ask Me Anything) Joel Settecase recently did on the Politics Server on Discord. Questions answered in this AMA: How can Unconditional Election be biblical, when John 3:16 says “whosoever?” I’m scared—what if I’m predestined to be damned no matter what? What does the Bible say about free will? If the historicity of the Old Testament were invalidated, would that invalidate the New Testament by proxy? Where should Protestants start reading theology? What books should they start with? How should men and women conduct themselves in marriage today? If the King James Version mistranslated Deuteronomy 23:17, does that mean we shouldn’t condemn homosexuality today? How do you reconcile the differences between the Christian and the Jewish interpretations of the Old Testament? Does Jesus meet the requirements of the prophecies about the Messiah?

This is an Apologetics AMA (Ask Me Anything) Joel Settecase recently did on the Politics Server on Discord. Questions answered in this AMA: Sacerdotalism (the view that a priest can be a mediator between God and man) was the view of the church for 1,500 years [sic]. Does this mean it must be true?  Is God's essence one? Then why do Christians worship Him through [sic] a Trinity? Do you believe that Muslims, Christians and Jews all worship the same God?  If God is omnipotent, can he create a rock so big he can't lift it? Is the concept of omnipotence incoherent?  Can you prove God through science?  Which is better: Molinism or Calvinism?  Check out the Politics server here: https://discord.gg/TrtkGbBY Follow us! http://facebook.com/thethinkinstitute http://twitter.com/thinkinst http://mewe.com/i/thinkinstitute http://gab.com/thinkinstitute Support the Settecase Family & Think Institute: https://give.cru.org/1018841 Listen to the Think Podcast on 11 podcast platforms: https://anchor.fm/the-think-podcast Get a free catechism, slide presentations and books: http://thethink.institute/catakids.
