Faith Beyond Belief - Greg Koukl

[HelloImJohn]

I received invites to a lecture from this guy from some friends at school, to lectures/debates from a guy called Greg Koukl (I believe he’s from the states, a christian author, radio host etc.) with topics such as ‘Do Moral Truths Exist’ and ‘Is it intolerant to say Jesus is the only way?’ which I guess were upcoming events of his that were going to happen in my city- that is what the small letter my friend gave me in class said- and I was a bit uneasy as to accept going. Is this something a Catholic can go to? All I know is that he is more of an evangelical christian, and on his site he’s organization/group sort is a mixture of Christians, but I’m not sure if this is something that can be good for a Catholic to go to… (we were the only ones not listed on his website under 'we are a group of Christians such as baptists, pentecostals, reformed etc etc.)

Does anyone know what this may be about?

I don’t want to offend my friends by refusing (as they are devout in their own churches and as they tell me how this man is a good friend with pastors etc.) but is this something necessarily Catholics should go to? Or will it be a clash of beliefs/doctrine?

I listen to Greg Koukl’s show, Stand to Reason, on podcast. I think he is great at discussing the moral issues of the day such as life issues. He is a defender of the belief in God and a defender of Christianity. He is a defender of Truth.

He is a protestant and he will also try to convince others about the rightness of his faith compared to other faiths such as Catholicism. I think he is overall respectful in these discussions.

As a Catholic I would not hesitate to go to one of his talks that deals with moral issues. I would avoid his talk if it was a protestant apologetic talk.

Hey there Shemp!

Did you mean to say you would not hesitate to go to one of his talks that deals with moral issues because you have a firm understanding of morals as taught through the catholic church, and are educated on them, and agree to them?

Because, if a catholic went who did not have any of the above understandings would you really encourage that?
