Responding to TikTok’s Worst Arguments Against Christianity | Gavin Ortlund | Last Call Ep. 34
Summary
Hosts respond to six viral TikToks challenging Christianity, addressing claims that Paul invented the faith, Jesus denied divinity, and the Mosaic law was abolished. They defend Trinitarian theology and progressive revelation by citing New Testament context and Old Testament typology. The discussion also tackles universalism and the nature of divine judgment, arguing that God’s sovereignty is not limited by eternal separation. The episode concludes with a promotion of Gavin Audlin’s new book, *Why Christianity Makes Sense*, which offers an ecumenical case for the faith.
