​ @MindShift-Brandon YouTube Channel is back with what he believes are several reasons the Christian God cannot exist. This time, the discussion focuses on divine emotions, jealousy, regret, and even memory in Heaven.

If God experiences jealousy, regret, or other emotions, does that make Him less than perfect? Does divine regret imply a lack of foresight? And if people remember loved ones who are in Hell, can Heaven truly be a place of joy? In this episode, we examine Mindshift's arguments and explain why we believe they ultimately fail to undermine the Christian conception of God.

Molinism is one of the most influential models for reconciling human libertarian freedom and divine sovereignty. While Dr. William Lane Craig is among its most well-known defenders, Dr. Ryan T. Mullins recently argued that Craig's particular articulation of Molinism may contain an incoherence and proposed a possible solution. In this episode, Tyson James of Sound Faith Consulting and Reasonable Faith joins us to examine the debate, unpack the philosophical issues at stake, and evaluate whether the alleged contradiction is genuine or whether William Lane Craig's formulation of Molinism remains coherent.

Recently, Dr. William Lane Craig and @CosmicSkeptic met in England for a major discussion on arguments for God's existence, the Kalam Cosmological Argument, the beginning of the universe, and the problem of animal suffering. In this video, Dr. Tim Stratton and Josh Klein are joined by Tyson James (founder of ⁨@soundfaithconsulting⁩ and connected with ⁨@ReasonableFaithOrg⁩ leadership) to analyze 7 major segments from the discussion and explain what REALLY happened. Together, they examine Alex O'Connor's objections, William Lane Craig's responses, and whether Alex's arguments against Christianity and theism ultimately succeed.

Topics include:

Hilbert's Hotel (actual and potential infinity)

The beginning of the universe Time and causation

Truth-making and correspondence theory

Animal suffering Consciousness and human pain

The hiddenness of God
