Rob VandeWeghe - ArticlesRob VandeWeghe is a sceptic turned Christian. More evidences for Christianity are available at http://www.WindmillMinistries.org. Or study more about the Old Testament. The Lukewarm American ChurchWe are losing the battle with our self-possessed, 'do-as-you-please' culture. Under the influence of a more and more secular, self-centered, 'politically-correct' world view, the disappearance of the traditional family, and the lack of in-depth teaching by parents and schools of the 'why's' and 'what's' of our Christian faith, we are... The Virgin Birth of Jesus - Did it Really Happen?In two of the four New Testament gospels we read that Jesus is born of a virgin (Mary) who was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Matthew does not give us many details how this happened and just mentions the basic facts: "This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came... The Virgin Birth of Jesus – Did it Really Happen?How do we know that the virgin birth account was not just added to the gospels to embellish Jesus’ birth as fulfilled prophecy and a supernatural event? It is obviously not possible for us 2000 years after this event to study any medical or other scientific evidence to support this claim. However through logical analysis combined with our knowledge of life and the culture of those days the case for the virgin birth seems surprisingly strong. Evolution, 150 Years of Lies and Deceit?Is evolution a fact of life, a model or perhaps a deception? Modern evolutionary science still reveals many holes in the foundations of this theory and recent discoveries seem to point to more than just chance and time. Has evolution become a religion instead of an objective scientific theory? Is There Life on Mars?Are we alone in the universe or is there life on other planets? And perhaps even as close our next door neighbor, the planet Mars?
Mars itself is - because it is further away from our heat source the Sun - a cold desert planet. So far without any signs of... Is the Life on Mars?Are we alone in the universe or is there life on other planets? And perhaps even as close our next door neighbor, the planet Mars? It is exciting to learn more about our universe and the complexity of life by using our most advanced scientific skills to study our neighboring planet. Let us just make sure that we objectively interpret the knowledge we have gained and will gain in the future: our Earth is extraordinary uniquely positioned and composed to allow for life to exist. The Great Men of HistoryAsk anybody: “Who are the great men in human history?” What do these men have in common? What made them great? Compare them to Jesus of Nazareth. He did not pursue the agendas which made others great, still He towers above them all. Did They Have a Reason to Lie?Most of what we know about Jesus of Nazareth comes from the New Testament gospels and Paul’s epistles. We can verify that these accounts are historically reliable through researching history and archeology. But are they also giving honest testimony? Would they have had a reason to lie? Divine Accomplishment Versus Human AchievementWhat do you have to do to go to heaven? All world religions attempt to give an answer. They have instructions for their believers to do certain works or say certain prayers. Only Christianity teaches that we cannot earn our own salvation. We are saved thanks to God’s work, not ours. Only Christianity Offers a Complete Plan of RedemptionHow can you know whether you will to heaven when you die? Just be a good person? Do more good deeds than bad things? Go to church every week? Read the Bible or the Qur’an? All religions talk and teach about their way to heaven, moksha or nirvana. Except for Christianity they all seem to leave lots of uncertainty and open endings.
