What can you KNOW? Can you believe something without knowing something? Bry from Chi uses jelly beans and birthday cake to solve these mysteries of philosophy, and explains how it all applies to why you can know the Bible is true from the very first page.
Continue readingBry from Chi takes you on a tour of the free books available on abitoforange.com, and then we dive into faith and belief! What is the relationship between faith and science? How does one come to a decision based on an authority? And what did Jesus mean when He asked us to believe in Him?
Bry from Chi puts to bed the myths that science and faith are at odd and proves that science depends on what cannot be proven. Science IS a matter of faith (but reasonable faith). And, believing isn’t about what can’t be known, it’s about what CAN be trusted.
Bry from Chi discovers why Atheists show up over and over and over to tell Christians they’re stupid without ever giving arguments. It’s not us they’re trying to convince. Also, we walk through chapters 9 and 10 of the Socratic Ducky, where we learn about worldviews, and how truth is true no matter where you are standing when you are looking at it, because reality is what you perceive, not what you create by perceiving. Also, math proves things.
Continue readingA quick discussion about why Atheists make the worst parents (or would if they were consistent). Bry from Chi takes you through several more chapters from The Socratic Ducky, (available at the link below) examining the nature of truth, T-shirts, and living in Chicago during the winter.

Continue readingBry from Chi takes us through chapter 3 of The Socratic Ducky where we get to know God a little bit more. We’ll see how the God of the Bible is very different from anything or anyone else which is labeled “god”. In short, what makes the God of the Bible unique is a lot- but in this chapter it’s the fact that He is uncreated, He made the universe, and He is loving and personal.

In short, this book shows you what Calvinism is from what Calvinists say about it- mostly from Grudem and Grudem, a father and son team who wrote a book about “Basic Christian Beliefs” and then ruined it with Calvinism. I contrast Calvinism with the Bible, and offer a few suggestions as to why people think they are Calvinists when most of them are not.
I’m giving it away as a free pdf! Enjoy!

We’re not tip toeing through all of the TULIP today, but rather just looking into the place many Calvinists go to defend the idea of Election – meaning the idea that God decided from eternity past who would have faith and who would not, who would love him, and who would hate him, who would be saved, and who would be damned.
Would it surprise you to learn that this is not what Romans 9 is about? Turns out its about the nation of Israel and the Gospel.
This section is for the next version of The Bible Vs Grudem and Son which I am in the process of updating. Until then, please check out the following walk through Romans 9 and let me know what you think.
To conclude this chapter, let’s take a brief walk through Romans 9, which is the Calvinist’s central hub for election talk. When they want to prove the Bible teaches Calvinistic election 9 times out of 10 they head here. A deep dive would take MANY pages, so this will be a quick overview, relatively speaking. I’m just going to walk you through the chapter so you can see the clear difference between a Calvinistic interpretation, and a reasonable one.
