The Cold-Case Christianity Podcast

In this blast from the past, J. Warner reflects on his appearance on "Unbelievable? with Justin Brierley" and demonstrates the value of four simple principles as he evaluates two objections to the historicity of the Gospels. Does Josephus' account of John the Baptist or Quirinius invalidate the Gospels? Why do some people continue to reject the Gospels as reliable?

In this blast from the past, J. Warner examines several objections to the nature of God: Who created God? Is God's power limited? Why does God seem so hidden? In addition, Jim examines the eyewitness status of Paul and the attribution of John as the author of the fourth New Testament Gospel.

In this blast from the past, J. Warner examines the three cultural influences that typically derail Christians from living a God-honoring life. What do we need to say to the world in order to live for God? Jim also provides some advice for those who want to lead a small group or youth ministry as Christian case makers.

In this blast from the past, J. Warner answers listener email related to the following questions: "Are we falling into moral relativism if we choose to commit a lesser sin to avoid a greater sin?" "Can moral truths originate in the heart of man or does moral truth require a transcendent God?" "Is it fair for God to save a murderer in the last moments of his life, yet let a child who has never heard of Jesus go to hell?" "Isn't it true that Christians are just a bunch of hypocrites?"

In this blast from the past, J. Warner interviews Frank Viola and they talk about Frank's book, "Reimagining Church". Frank has written this book as a follow-up to his controversial, "Pagan Christianity".

In this podcast, J. Warner is interviewed by Dr. Ben Edwards on the You're the Cure Radio Show. Dr. Edwards believes that four pillars undergird well-being, one of which is "peace". Dr. Ben and J. Warner discuss the differences in a naturalistic versus a supernatural worldview. This is a cause for much of the doubt in peoples' minds. J. Warner helps explain why this isn't as far-fetched as it may seem. He explains how abductive reasoning and explaining things beyond reason/possible doubt can help one wrestle with the unanswered doubts in their minds. He used his detective skills to go through 6 atheistic explanations for rejecting Jesus's story and found they weren't reasonable. Please visit Dr. Ben's website to listen to more of his radio shows.

In this blast from the past, J. Warner examines the difference between 'evidence' and 'proof' and responds to listener email about the statistical probability argument and the importance of apologetics in the Christian life.
