Summary

How do you convince non-Christians that homosexuality is wrong without using the Bible? Does human flourishing replace the need for God and the moral argument? And why does God create people that He knows will end up in Hell? In this week's solo podcast episode, Frank tackles three BIG questions that were recently sent in from our listening audience. During this discussion, Frank shares some practical advice on how to address these sensitive topics along with questions like:* Should Christians be concerned about what people do privately?* How does natural marriage contribute to spiritual maturity?* Are morals biologically determined?* Does the existence of Hell prove that God is unjust?* What thought-provoking questions can you ask people who are in support of homosexuality?* Why doesn't atheism solve the problem of evil?* What does the Bible say about divine justice?* How can pain and suffering possibly result in GOOD?Brace yourself — this episode is not politically correct, but it will be correct! Be sure to grab a copy of 'Correct, Not Politically Correct: About Same-Sex Marriage & Transgenderism' and 'Stealing from God' for more in-depth answers to these three BIG questions!Resources mentioned during the episode:BOOK: Toxic Empathy - https://www.toxicempathy.com/ (https://www.toxicempathy.com/)BOOK: Correct Not Politically Correct - https://bit.ly/3qws2ZL (https://bit.ly/3qws2ZL)BOOK: Stealing From God - https://bit.ly/41hLt91 (https://bit.ly/41hLt91)VIDEO: Frank and Alex O'Connor - https://youtu.be/qNeB1RVeJHo (https://youtu.be/qNeB1RVeJHo)

0:00.0	Welcome to I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an atheist, ladies and gentlemen.
0:06.5	Today we're going to go through some of the questions you have emailed to us at hello
0:11.8	at cross-examine.org. I apologize. We can't get to all the questions, but we try to get
0:16.9	to as many as possible. We're going to try and get to three big questions today. One has to do
0:22.4	with homosexuality. Another one has to do with the moral law and can human flourishing just explain
0:29.9	morality without God. And also there's a question about why would God create people? He knew they would
0:35.1	go to hell, but there's a spin on it. It's a little bit different question than the normal question regarding that. Let's start with a question that I get
0:43.7	from Colin. Colin writes in, I'm in college. I have a question regarding sin and how to interact
0:50.9	with non-believers and sin. Recently at at work I was part of a discussion where my
0:56.7	co-workers were discussing homosexuality and their views on it they were saying how it is good
1:03.8	and all that let me stop right here whenever somebody claims something is good what should
1:09.2	be your question to them?
1:14.9	Yes, exactly. By what standard are you saying it's good?
1:23.0	Anyway, he says they were saying how good it is and all that, and I was not sure exactly how to approach the situation.
1:27.9	On one hand, I know that homosexuality is a sin from what the Bible tells us.
1:34.9	On the other hand, as an American, I feel like it's none of my business what people do in their private lives.
1:36.6	Let me stop right here.
1:38.6	That's a moral position as well.
1:45.5	You can see when he says, I feel like it's none of my business, as if it would be immoral to be concerned about what people do in their private lives is that correct by what moral standard is it correct and how do
1:52.5	you know that what people do in their private lives won't affect other people and even if it doesn't
1:58.5	affect other people should we be concerned about what people do at their private lives even if it doesn't affect other people, should we be concerned about what people
2:02.0	do at their private lives, even if it's just hurting them? That's a question. Anyway, Colin goes on to say,
