Question from Halil: Does this experience prove the existence of souls? It is of a woman who was born blind, had a visual NDE, and saw things, including Jesus. There have been studies done which say that the people born blind cannot see in their dreams, but this woman could see in her NDE. What … Continue reading “Was Blind, But Now I See”
Question from Jakob: It’s been a while since I posted but anyway this time it is about the Fatima prophecy, to be precise, the second secret. I am writing this on a touch screen so I can’t quote it for you now but you can read it on RationalWiki if you like. It was written … Continue reading “The War According To Fátima”
Question from Kustav: I was wondering something with regards to Near Death Experiences. Why is it that I can find numerous NDEs where the experience entails Jesus, but I cannot find any NDEs where a Muslim for example meets Muhammad, or a Hindu meets Krishna. I have however, read stories of Atheists, Jews, Muslims, and … Continue reading “Near Death Experiences – does Christianity “win”?”
Question from Daniel: Hi. I wanted to know if there is any mass revelation/miracle in The Vedas (i.e Miracles that were performed in front of many people)? Answer by SmartLX: I was a Christian once but I was never a Hindu, and never discussed religion with my few Hindu friends in school. Right off the … Continue reading “Miracles for the Masses”

Jim Wallace … Continue reading “Apostles, Therefore God?”
Question from Aaron: Hello! Have you considered if Hell is real? The Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ Himself warned people of a literal Hell, the lake of fire ultimately, where all those who rejected Him and His shed blood payment on the cross for their sins alone (His death burial and Resurrection), will spend … Continue reading ““Have you considered…” (spoiler: yes)”
Question from Lane: Reading these essays here on ATA has both strengthened my faith in God and given me a better respect for atheists, by giving me a more comprehensive understanding. The color blue does not look the same to everyone (being subjective, “blue” is a label), but everyone should be encouraged to express what … Continue reading “What can Christians do for atheists, and themselves?”
Question from Jamie: I have a question about two types of evidence that Christians use to prove the Bible. What do you (and maybe most atheists?) think of Saul of Tarsus’ conversion and the historical record of at least 3 of the apostles being martyred for their beliefs as being any kind of proof that … Continue reading ““Did they Die for a Lie?” And Other Appeals to Character”
Question from Kaitlyn: I need some help with a question that is really confusing me. I just watched a video regarding Jesus in the Bible.

How … Continue reading “The Virginal Consensus”
