Answered Prayer or Coincidence?: How can I tell if God actually answered my prayers or if the outcome was just a coincidence? Many Christians say God has spoken to or guided them without evidence. How can such claims be tested objectively?

Does God Send Us to Hell?: How can I convince my brother that God does not condemn us to Hell and that it’s our own free will that puts us there? He has stopped talking to us due to that belief he has.

Street Healings: Are They Real?: Are street healings real? Christians pray for strangers who report relief from pain and various illnesses. But atheist Derren Brown has produced similar results. Are these miracles or psychological effects?

Daniel's prophecies about the abomination of desolation (Daniel 8:13, 9:26-27, 11:31, 12:11) describe a specific bad actor who makes a seven-year covenant with Israel, stops temple sacrifices at the midpoint, and sets up the abomination, leading to a three-and-a-half-year tribulation period before he is destroyed.

The literary alliteration of Hebrews 1:1 in Greek (poly-meros, poly-tropos, patrasin, prophetais — all P-sounds) signals this is high-level, carefully crafted Greek prose. God speaking "in many times and many ways" through the prophets contrasts with the singular, final word through the Son — a deliberate narrowing funnel from diverse OT revelation to the one person of Jesus.

Jude 9 — Michael disputing with Satan over Moses's body and saying "the Lord rebuke you" — is the most interesting passage in the debate. If Jude alludes to Zechariah 3:2 (where it is Yahweh himself speaking those words), then identifying Michael with Jesus would actually require elevating Michael to divine status, not demoting Jesus. Either way, Jude 4 calls Jesus our "only Master and Lord" in the same letter.

Miller experienced the hostility firsthand: prank calls from PhD colleagues, a Marxist professor placing a "delusional" note in his file, and having his dissertation sabotaged for having "too much of a faith perspective." It is now routinely understood in PhD programs that Christians hide their faith until they receive their degree — a level of suppression that atheists and Marxists never face.
