    BTM 184 - Logic, Logical Fallacies, and Sound Reasoning: Christian Apologetics 101

    What is a logical fallacy? What is a sound argument? And, why does it matter for Christians today? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver is joined by the co-authors of Talking About World Views: A Conversational Introduction to Thinking Philosophically for a powerful discussion on logic, logical fallacies, and sound reasoning in a confused culture. Featuring: -Michael Jones – Professor of Philosophy & Religion, Liberty University -Mark J. Farnham – Professor of Apologetics, Lancaster Bible College -David Saxon – Professor of Church History, Maranatha Baptist University Together, they explore: ✔️ What a worldview is—and why everyone has one ✔️ Why logic is foundational for defending the Christian faith  ✔️ The difference between factual mistakes and logical fallacies  ✔️ Common fallacies like: Ad Hominem Straw Man Appeal to Authority Appeal to Pity Genetic Fallacy Red Herring Self-Referential Incoherence ✔️ How to construct sound deductive and inductive arguments ✔️ Why truth corresponds to reality  ✔️ How Christians can argue graciously, clearly, and persuasively In a world shaped by expressive individualism, emotional reasoning, and intellectual shortcuts, this conversation equips believers to think critically and biblically. As C.S. Lewis famously emphasized, Christianity is not something we would have invented—it confronts us with reality.

    BTM 183 - Can the New Testament Be Trusted - Part 2? 13 Arguments for Its Reliability | Dr. Benjamin Shaw

    📖 Is the New Testament Trustworthy? | Reliability, Archaeology & the Resurrection (Part 2) Is the New Testament historically reliable? Can we trust the Gospels as accurate records of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection? In this powerful episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver continues his in-depth conversation with Dr. Benjamin Shaw, author of Trustworthy: 13 Arguments for the Reliability of the New Testament. In Part 2 of this two-part series, we explore some of the strongest historical, archaeological, and transformational evidence supporting the truth of the New Testament—including hostile sources, archaeological discoveries, and the famous Minimal Facts Argument for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. 🔍 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: ✅ Why embarrassing details in the Gospels actually support their authenticity ✅ How hostile sources like Tacitus confirm key events of Jesus’ life ✅ What archaeology reveals about Caiaphas, crucifixion, and the early church ✅ Why early Christian transformation matters for historical reliability ✅ What the Minimal Facts Argument is—and why it’s so powerful ✅ How scholars across belief systems agree on core resurrection facts   Why the resurrection stands at the center of Christian faith and history Dr. Shaw also explains how archaeology, early enemy attestation, and transformed lives all point to the same conclusion: the New Testament is historically trustworthy—and Jesus is who He claimed to be. 📚 Featured Guest: Dr. Benjamin Shaw President, Core Apologetics Author of Trustworthy: 13 Arguments for the Reliability of the New Testament Student of Dr. Gary Habermas (Minimal Facts Argument) 🎓 Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS) 🔗 Learn more: https://www.dts.edu  🌍 Missions Moment: Learn how National Theological College & Graduate School (NTCGS) is training national pastors and leaders in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and East Africa.

    BTM 181 - Is Homosexuality Normal? - A Former LGBTQ+ Advocate Responds

    Is Homosexuality Normal? In this episode of Bible and Theology Matters, host Paul Weaver sits down with Dr. Rosaria Butterfield to discuss the first lie addressed in her book Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age: “Homosexuality is Normal.” Drawing from her background as a former tenured professor of English and Women’s Studies, a scholar of critical theory and queer theory, and a former LGBTQ activist, Dr. Butterfield explains why the concept of homosexual orientation as an immutable identity is a modern invention, not a timeless reality. She traces its roots to 19th-century thought, engaging figures such as Freud, Marx, Darwin, and Michel Foucault, and contrasts these ideas with a biblical anthropology grounded in Scripture. Dr. Butterfield shares her powerful testimony of conversion to Christ, explains how the shift from behavior to identity has reshaped cultural and ecclesiastical thinking, and warns Christians against adopting the moral language and ideological categories of the secular left—including terms like sexual orientation, cisgender, pronouns, and sexual minority—which ultimately undermine the gospel. This conversation also addresses: • Why homosexuality as an ontological category contradict biblical teaching • How language functions as ideology, not neutrality  • The dangers of parachurch compromise and theological drift  • Why repentance—not rebranding—is essential for faithfulness • How the church can love prodigals without surrendering biblical truth • Why real hope requires change through Christ, not affirmation without transformation This episode is a must-watch for Christians seeking clarity, courage, and compassion in a confused cultural moment. 📖 BOOK DISCUSSED Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age – Dr. Rosaria Butterfield 🔔𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. https://www.youtube.com/@BibleandTheologyMatters/?sub_confirmation=1 🔗 Stay Connected With Dr. Weaver. 📘 Facebook (Paul Weaver): https://www.facebook.com/PaulDeanWeaver 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/faith_affirming_findings/ 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-weaver-55070317/ 🌐 Website: https://www.bibleandtheologymatters.com/ 🌐 Website: https://pauldweaver.com/ 📩 To invite Dr. Weaver to speak at your church or conference, email at: paulandjillweaver@gmail.com =============================  🎬Suggested videos for you: ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jf0c4cjxe0 ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJQDvGEdW-0 ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBQODoZ2jGs ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiM-yxQOm4g ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcbFmrcsyvE ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48NFw4RfrJ8 ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kl7XTzluDE ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRQvs89mXTc ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQEBTDfoaWA ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBy3-egeiu4

    BTM 180 - Archaeology and the Christmas Story

    Is the Christmas story based on blind faith—or solid historical evidence? In this special Christmas episode of Bible and Theology Matters, Paul Weaver explores how biblical archaeology directly affirms the historicity of the Christmas story. From ancient Babylonian ration tablets to the massive stone architecture of Herod the Great, archaeology confirms the people, places, and political realities described in the Gospels. 🔍 In this episode, you’ll discover: -How the Jehoiachin Ration Tablet proves the survival of the Davidic line -Why the Christmas story begins in Babylon—not Bethlehem -Archaeological evidence for Herod the Great, his paranoia, brutality, and building projects -How sites like the Herodium, Caesarea Maritima, and the Jerusalem Temple confirm the Gospel timeline -Why the Massacre of the Innocents (Matthew 2) fits perfectly with what we know of Herod from Josephus -How archaeology strengthens confidence in the historical reliability of Scripture Far from undermining faith, archaeology reveals that the Christmas story is rooted in real history, real kings, real places, and real events—exactly as the Bible records. 📖 “When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son…” (Galatians 4:4) 🎄 This Christmas, discover why the birth of Jesus Christ is not myth or legend—but history with eternal significance. 🎥 Watch Faith Affirming Findings (6–10 min archaeology videos) 📘 Pre-order the upcoming book Faith Affirming Findings (releasing May 26, 2026) 🔔𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. https://www.youtube.com/@BibleandTheologyMatters/?sub_confirmation=1 🔗 Stay Connected With Dr. Weaver. 📘 Facebook (Paul Weaver): https://www.facebook.com/PaulDeanWeaver 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/faith_affirming_findings/ 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-weaver-55070317/ 🌐 Website: https://www.bibleandtheologymatters.com/ 🌐 Website: https://pauldweaver.com/ 📩 To invite Dr. Weaver to speak at your church or conference, email at: paulandjillweaver@gmail.com
