Islam, Mormonisim, Atheism & Paganism

  • In addressing non-biblical or extra-biblical religions and philosophies, the purpose is not to disprove them. Rather, the goal is to set forth the eleven positive assumptions of Genesis 1-2 (aka “Only Genesis”), and seek to affirm the image of God in all people, where they can see if a) they are attracted to such biblical assumptions, b) see if their religious or philosophical beliefs serve the same, and c) if not, to seek Jesus and give the Gospel serious consideration. This involves the power to love hard questions, where the Bible first submits to the hardest questions skeptics may pose of its text.
