mid-week apologetics booster (11-17-2022)

Good morning friends, Quote of the week: In order to recognize an explanation as the best, you don’t need to have an explanation of the explanation. This is an elementary point in the philosophy of science. If archaeologists digging in the earth were to discover things looking like arrowheads and pottery shards, they would be justified in inferring that these artifacts are not the chance result of sedimentation and metamorphosis, but products of some unknown group of people, even though they had no explanation of who these people were or where they came from. – William Lane Craig (On Guard) Now, here are your weekly links:

Christ-Centred Hindu Community – bethinking.org – The title of this review will likely grate in the ears of many readers. Christ-centred community you get; Hindu community you also get. But Christ-centred Hindu community sounds like an oxymoron, like heavy feathers or hot ice. Before you leave this page, judging it as the ravings of a weirdo, allow me to inform you that no less a man than the pioneering missionary to India William Carey talked about Hindu Christians. Timothy Shultz would not be comfortable with that terminology but not for the reasons you might expect.: https://www.bethinking.org/eastern-religions/christ-centred-hindu-community

Hezekiah trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel. There was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, either before him or after him. He held fast to the LORD and did not cease to follow him; he kept the commands the LORD had given Moses. And the LORD was with him; he was successful in whatever he undertook. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him. 2 Kings 18:5-7 Blessings to you all
