An Embryo isn’t a Baby: A Response to Trent Horn

July 1, 2022 by Randal

Does God call all people to the same church?

July 23, 2019 by Randal

Does God want everyone to join a single church?

June 12, 2019 by Randal

This is a link to my fourth and final dialogue/debate with Catholic Apologist Trent Horn. In this round, we debate the question of whether God wants every person to join the same church.

May 30, 2019 by Randal

Here is a link to the latest episode of Trent Horn’s podcast in which Trent and I go back and forth on still more questions: “Do aliens need to be evangelized? What about lost tribes? Do Christians have to believe in the Devil?”

March 4, 2019 by Randal

This is part 2 of my conversation with Catholic apologist Trent Horn. You can read part 1 here. RR: Let’s switch gears, Trent. Personally, I don’t believe that God calls everyone to be part of one church. I believe, instead, that he calls some people to be Coptic and others to be Congregational. He calls […]

April 10, 2018 by Randal

I recently had the pleasure of appearing as a guest on Catholic apologist Trent Horn’s new podcast “Counsel of Trent.” (Yeah, I know: great name!) Trent is an outstanding young apologist. And I’m not just saying that by the way: Read my debrief of Trent’s debate with Raphael Lataster, for example. Trent also kindly provided an endorsement […]
