In this video, I explain why I think you can lose your salvation as a Christian. I start with an intellectual line of reasoning and then transition to looking at some scriptures, both for and against. I hope this is helpful to someone who is thinking through this issue.

This is is my conversation with professor Michael Jahosky. Michael is a Tolkien scholar and author of the book "The Good News of the Return of the King: The Gospel in Middle Earth." We talk about Michael's life, the overview and thesis of Michael's book, and in which way (exactly) Middle Earth is a real place. I was delighted that I was able to talk with professor Jahosky and have learned much from him over the last year from his book and podcast.

In this video, I talk with Noah Shaffmaster, my friend from the basketball team. This was my first in person conversation that I’ve recorded and posted. In it, we go and talk about everything from cults to Christianity. Noah and I have had a few deep in person conversations, so this one more or less builds off of some of those. I’ve been trying to understand what Noah thinks about God and religion and this conversation was very helpful in that.

In this video, I talk about what Francis Sheaffer saw as the bend of Western Cultural History. Sheaffer seems to posit that God is the grounding of all reality and truth. When we take away God, we lose everything. I agree with him to an extent, but I'm not sure if he's selling himself short as to the actual grounding of God. I want to begin using his ideas in my dialectic more.Check out my YouTube: Colton Kirby - YouTubeSome of my other stuff:About Me: https://coltonkirby.substack.com/about?utm_source=menu-dropdownFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/coltonjkirby/Twitter: https://twitter.com/_coltonkirbyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialcoltonkirby/Odysee: https://odysee.com/@ColtonKirbyEpisode 63 Get full access to Finding Ideas at coltonkirby.substack.com/subscribe
This year I'm doing World History. The author of our history book seems to assume that the development of the understanding in the West was natural and that that is the natural bent of the world.
