Join us for an exploration of theology and philosophy from a Christian worldview that will help your apologetics.
In this clip from Episode #98, we tackle the ancient philosophical question known as the Euthyphro Dilemma, first presented in Plato's dialogues. Is something morally good because God commands it, or does God command it because it is morally good? Join us as we explore the implications of this dilemma on moral standards and provide a solid answer from a Christian worldview.
We’ll explain why the God of the Bible offers an ultimate, unchanging moral foundation, contrasting it with the arbitrary ethics of the Greek gods. Discover how the Christian understanding of God's nature resolves this age-old moral dilemma once and for all.

We're diving deep into the nature of truth through the lenses of theology, apologetics, and worldview. Together, we'll explore what truth is beyond just "the state of being the case." In a world full of confusion, we're here to uncover what it means to understand truth from a biblical perspective.
Key Discussion Points:
The Three Cs of Truth:Comprehensibility: What makes a proposition meaningful in our language.
Coherence: How do the laws of logic underpin true statements?
Correspondence: Why does truth require a consistent and reliable reality?
We'll examine how these three elements of truth require a solid foundation in the Christian worldview and how they reflect God's attributes of order, logic, and faithfulness.
