This short dialogue on salvation and an alleged requirement to keep the law was in a chat room on paltalk.com. He was rabidly against the teaching of once saved always saved. I began this dialogue with him after he said the following: "If Calvinism is the gospel or...
This short dialogue raises a good question about those who have never heard the gospel. The answer isn't all that easy. Tim: You don't know me, but can I ask you a question? Matt: You just asked one question. So go ahead and ask another. Tim: 🙂 (all apologists...
This dialogue deals with the right, or lack thereof, of Christians like myself calling other people’s beliefs false. Is it right to do that? How do we know we are not deceived ourselves? This real dialogue is about those issues. Tim: Hi. I have some questions. Can we...

This conversation is a good illustration of the need to know more than basic theology when discussing the issue of whether or not baptism is necessary for salvation. Both Frank and I had computer Bible programs at our disposal, so we were copying text into the...
I found this dialogue hidden on my computer and decided to put it up. It is about a Christian who is having doubts because of what he is learning in school. Many Christians are aware of our secular school's work against the Christian faith. This is an example. Sam:...
This short dialogue is an interesting one. This gentleman retained the nickname ‘Gnostic.’ Gnosticism is/was the teaching that tried to reduce Christianity to a philosophy. The Gnostics claimed they had secret and superior knowledge. It generally taught that matter...
