Let's Get Real Podcast w/Rob LundbergThe 66 Books of the BIble. What Makes Them Alone to be the Word of God and not any other books?In 2 Timothy 3:16, we read the words "All Scripture is inspired by God. . . " But what is the Bible? Is it just one book or a compilation of 66 books? But what about other books, like the Apocrypha or books from the competing world religions? What is it about the 66 books that makes the Bible the Word of God

Let's Get Real Podcast w/Rob LundbergDo All Religions Say and Teach the Same Things?When it comes to the subject of religion and philosophy, the arenas of education, the media, and even politics seek to make statements they know little about. One statement is that all religions teach and say the same things. In 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us that "we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." This is one of those statements.

Let's Get Real Podcast w/Rob LundbergRob's Case for the Resurrection of Jesus ChristEaster Sunday means so many different things to different people. But to true Christians, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important truth in all of human history. In fact, historical Christianity stands or falls on the truthfulness of this event. Did Jesus really rise from the dead? If Jesus is truly risen then Christianity is true and all the other religions are false. Plain and simple.
In this episode I present my case as to why I believe that Jesus truly rose from the dead and why it makes a difference. If you have any q...

Let's Get Real Podcast w/Rob LundbergWhat is Unbiblical About "Mindfulness"Is it wrong to be a mindful person? That depends on what one means by being "mindful." There is a difference between being mindful of the truths that honor the one true God. But the practice of "mindfulness" is another one of those incompatible, deceptive New Age practices that is being smuggled into the church like a Trojan Horse. If you find yourself being mindful in the manner of emptying your mind of various distractions or focussing on yourself rather than the truths of what God says, then you may be involved in the wrong kind of "mindfulness."

In this defense, I do not start from the theological point, but from the point of the science of defining what a life system truly is. From presenting the science, I move to the ethical perspectives, and then move to the theological perspective. Ultimately, God is the author of life and the ender of life (from womb to tomb).

In this episode, I discuss the oneness of God, and bring to the table the issue of an I/You relationship between God and man that Christianity has that Islam does not have? That means that Muslims do not worship that same God (YHWH) that Christians and our Jewish friends worship.

Let's Get Real Podcast w/Rob LundbergThe Let's Get Real Podcast: 9 Responses to the Relativistic Objections You May Use or HearIs truth absolute or relative? For anyone who claims to have done any evangelism and not engaged any objections to the subject of truth being knowable, has not done real evangelism in our post truth culture. Relativism is the philosophical position that all points of view are equally valid and that all truth is relative to the individual. But, if we look further, we see that relativism is not a logical proposition. In fact it is hypocritical and self-refuting. On The Let's Get Real Podcast with Rob Lundberg, we take on some of the most popular objections to absolute tr...

Let's Get Real Podcast w/Rob LundbergThe Let's Get Real Podcast The Twelve Points Showing Christianity as True: Point #11 Jesus Affirmed the Bible is the Word of GodWhen we began our investigation of the reliability of the Bible (Point 6) focused only on the New Testament. The reason for this is because that is where we learn who Jesus is (even though Jesus was prophesied in the Old Testament). We concluded that Jesus is God and that whatever He teaches is necessarily true (Step 10). Therefore we can trust whatever Jesus teaches about the Bible as whole.
On this week's Let's Get Real Podcast, I address several passages that affirm Jesus testifying that what we have in the Old Testament and His promising the New Testament is...

Let's Get Real Podcast w/Rob LundbergThe Let's Get Real Podcast The Twelve Points Showing Christianity as True: Point #3 It is True that a Theistic God ExistsIf truth about reality is knowable and the opposite of true truth is false, then it must posit the possibility of a God who is also, like truth, invisible, absolute and unchanging. God is not just those things, but also supernatural, uncaused, all powerful, all present (transcendent), and all knowing. We see from science, that the universe (a natural entity) came into being by something outside of itself. The existence (the fact that it exists) of the universe those is not the same as its true essence (what it is). We can also say that about things nearer to u...

Many of the cultural issues of our day place many people in the reality of subjective truth.

With these competing to for the hearts, minds, and morality of the culture, the Christian church must hold up the biblical Christian worldview.

The other part of the equation is that the discipline of the mind and the task of apologetics appears to be more and more marginalized as we move forward to a boiling point in our culture.

The question now becomes, do we want to continue to do it poorly or do we want to do it well? Is there are place for apologetics with evangelism?
