Evidence for Jesus Without the Bible
Is it possible that Jesus didn't exist? Of course, but that's not reasonable to believe considering the numerous early, independent, Christian and non-Christian sources which all make reference to Jesus of Nazareth. Yes, that's right —there are early, non-Christian sources that mention Jesus. In this presentation, I distinguish between possible and reasonable beliefs, and then introduce five early, non-Christian sources that reference facts about Jesus.
Who is jesus
This document provides an introduction to a unit on Christology by posing questions about Jesus to stimulate discussion. It begins with basic facts - that Jesus never wrote books, owned property, or travelled far. It notes he was crucified but is still influential today. The rest consists of multiple choice and open-ended questions about Jesus' life, including his name, parents, birthplace, teachings, emotions, uniqueness among religious leaders, and relationship to the Gospels.
Samples of My Work
The document provides summaries of 5 books written by Pamela Orock. The first book "Discipleship" discusses what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ and live according to his teachings. The second book "The Second Coming of Jesus Christ" talks about Jesus returning to earth to reward believers. The third book "Pillar of Truth" examines biblical texts to clarify doubts and misconceptions. The fourth book "Armor" teaches about putting on the armor of God to be protected spiritually. The fifth book "My Divine Destiny" deals with each individual's unique purpose and assignment from God.

This document provides background on the author and his journey to becoming a Holocaust revisionist. It discusses his upbringing in New York during WWII where his father exposed him to revisionist views. As a student, he encountered resistance from professors when presenting revisionist arguments. The document emphasizes the importance of truth and factual history for Christians. It presents revisionism as an effort to correct misleading myths, not to distort history. Key influences on the author's revisionism were the endorsement of revisionist works by Christian figures Dr. Walter Maier and Dr. Alfred Rehwinkel.
NPGBC - Monthly Theme Commentary - March 2014
Luke's gospel provides an authorized biography of Jesus Christ focusing on his humanity. Unlike the other gospel writers, Luke was not an eyewitness but examined Jesus as fully human and God. He captures Jesus' human sensitivity and compassion for human suffering, showing he understands human existence. Luke wrote his gospel to Theophilus, a Gentile, to convince him of Jesus' identity as the Jewish Messiah and Son of God by explaining unfamiliar Jewish customs and the meaning of Jesus' parables.

C.S. Lewis used his works of fiction to portray his Christian views on topics such as the struggle between faith and doubt, humanity's relationship with God and temptation, and the need to put faith in God over technology. Some of his most famous works that incorporated Christian themes included The Space Trilogy, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Mere Christianity. Lewis aimed to explain Christianity to both educated and uneducated audiences and show the importance of living out faith despite life's temptations.

Jesus had the biggest impact on history more than any other man. He came into the world not just to live but to die, fulfilling God's plan of salvation for humanity. His life, miracles, death and resurrection are historically documented in sources outside the Bible like Tacitus and Josephus, as well as being the central focus of the New Testament Gospels and letters written by eyewitnesses and followers of Jesus.

Reformation 500 Part 2 - The Protestant Provision
This document discusses the Protestant provision of making the Bible available to everyone through inspiration, preservation, and translation. It describes how God inspired holy men to write scripture through His Spirit. The scriptures were carefully preserved by scribes and scholars over centuries. Translations into other languages increased access, from Wycliffe's English translation to Luther's German Bible which helped spark the Reformation. The advent of the printing press allowed mass production of vernacular Bibles, culminating in the Authorized King James Version. The Protestant belief holds that the Bible is the final authority for faith and practice.
Pliny the elder
Pliny the Elder was a Roman author, philosopher, and soldier born in 23 AD in Italy. He is known for his encyclopedic 37-volume work called Natural History, which covered many topics from zoology to medicine and was used as a source of education during the Middle Ages. Pliny received an education in Rome and later served in the military before devoting himself to writing. He died in 79 AD while attempting to rescue friends from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius near Pompeii.
Christianity after christ
The document discusses the historical context and spread of Christianity after Jesus Christ. It notes that we have detailed historical sources from the early years, including the Acts of the Apostles and many epistles. Paul of Tarsus played a key role in spreading Christianity. The Roman Empire provided stability and infrastructure that allowed Christianity's spread, though it was initially one of many religions and faced opposition from Jews, local religions, and eventually Romans themselves due to concerns about its growth.
DuBoispowerpoint
C.S. Lewis wrote several works that incorporated Christian themes and apologetics in subtle ways. His Space Trilogy featured characters like Ransom who go on spiritual adventures where Christianity is at the center. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe uses biblical stories as its source and has Aslan representing Christ. Mere Christianity aimed to explain core Christian teachings simply. The Screwtape Letters takes an unusual perspective of the devil coaching a demon.
Resisting/Unresisting
The document discusses Jesus Christ's humble and unresisting nature, even in the face of oppression and death on the cross. It notes that though he was God, Jesus did not cling to equality with God, but instead humbled himself by taking human form and obediently dying a criminal's death. Several passages are cited that portray Jesus silently enduring accusations and not resisting while being led to his death like a lamb. The document emphasizes Jesus' attitude of humility and nonviolence as exemplified in his life.
Apologetics, Kreeft chapter 10: The Bible, myth or history?
Based on Pocket handbook of Christian apologetics (2003) by Peter Kreeft & Ronald Tacelli. This is a course taught at LTCi, Siliguri.
5 quest for the historical jesus
This document discusses the historical search to determine what can be known about the historical Jesus from historical sources. It describes the major phases of the "Quest for the Historical Jesus" including the Old Quest from 1738-1906, the New Quest from 1950s-1970s, and the current Third Quest from 1980s-present. Key figures and their approaches are outlined for each phase, along with the methods and findings of groups like the Jesus Seminar in the Third Quest. The overall focus is on analyzing biblical and non-biblical sources using historical and scientific methodology to reconstruct an accurate portrait of Jesus' life and teachings.

DP & Pascal
Blaise Pascal:
"Given the possibility that God actually does exist and assuming the infinite gain or loss associated with belief in God or with unbelief, a rational person should live as though God exists and seek to believe in God".
Jesus of nazareth
Jesus was a man born in Bethlehem around 30 AD who declared himself the Messiah and son of God, challenging Roman rule. Though from a poor family, Jesus gained followers who believed he was the promised savior of the Jewish people. However, others resented his claims and the Romans reacted by crucifying him for sedition. Despite this, Jesus' teachings went on to have a huge impact and he is now widely considered the central figure of Christianity.
Power To Witnesss
The document discusses Pentecost Sunday and how Christians receive power from the Holy Spirit to be witnesses. It provides biblical quotes about waiting in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4) and receiving power to be witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). The document then outlines different ways to witness, including through proclamation, personal encounters, sharing one's personal story, and practical acts of kindness.
Corruption of the torah
This document provides evidence that the Old Testament was corrupted and altered by mankind. It notes several discrepancies and contradictions found within the text, such as events described as happening after Moses' death being attributed to him, and stories being told twice with variations. The document argues that scholars have identified four main sources (J, E, P, and D) that were combined and edited together to form the first five books of the Bible. It aims to equip Muslims with arguments to counter claims that the Quran has been corrupted, by showing that the Old Testament scriptures were also subjected to human tampering and revision over time. The overall tone encourages responding to non-Muslims respectfully and through kind reasoning rather than insults or
Wk1-How To Read Revelation
Revelation is a prophetic apocalyptic epistle that uses symbolic imagery to communicate God's sovereignty over earthly powers. It was written to give first-century Christians hope during Roman persecution by revealing God's ultimate victory. As an apocalypse, it answers that God, not earthly empires, rules creation and will establish His kingdom. It also functions as a circular letter to seven churches in Asia Minor, calling believers to faithfully serve God alone. Interpretation requires understanding the biblical and cultural context, as well as seeing Revelation's overarching themes of judgment and salvation.
The Nephi-Moroni Problem - By Elden Watson and With Comments by Dr Charles Pyle
1) The document discusses the "Nephi/Moroni Problem" - early accounts of Joseph Smith's vision state the angelic messenger was Nephi, but it is now commonly believed to be Moroni.
2) It analyzes the sources claiming Nephi was the messenger and concludes there was only one original error, in Joseph Smith's 1838 history, and all other accounts stemmed from this single mistake.
3) It provides several arguments that the messenger was actually Moroni, including a 1830 revelation naming Moroni, statements from Oliver Cowdery and Joseph Smith himself identifying Moroni, and that even critics in 1840 knew it was Moroni who showed Joseph Smith the plates. The document determines the name
Who Was Historical Jesus
This document discusses the importance of understanding Jesus in his historical context and outlines several key points about reconstructing the historical Jesus. It notes that while the gospels combine both historical facts and theological interpretation, historians can establish some basic facts about Jesus through various criteria, including that he was a 1st century Jew from Galilee who gathered disciples and whose message concerned the coming reign of God. The document also reviews different approaches to studying the historical Jesus over time.

The new literature
This document discusses and compares the theological fiction works The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown and the Shiva trilogy by Amish Tripathi. It provides background on theology and defines theological fiction. It summarizes the key theological assertions and themes of The Da Vinci Code, such as Jesus marrying Mary Magdalene. It also summarizes the plot lines of Amish Tripathi's Shiva trilogy, focusing on his portrayal of Hindu gods. The document raises theological questions about the marriage of Jesus and intentions for church leadership.
Thed 2 – module 1
This document provides an overview of the New Testament, including its origins, contents, and criteria for canonicity. It discusses how the New Testament books were written within 100 years after Jesus' death, primarily in Greek. The 27 books include the four Gospels, Acts, 21 letters, and Revelation. The three stages of New Testament formation included the life of Jesus, the disciples living out the gospel, and the redaction of writings between 70-100 AD.
importance of bible
The document discusses quotes from various historical figures throughout history praising the importance and value of the Bible. Napoleon praised the Bible as a living being that invades all that opposes it. Isaac Newton found more authenticity in the Bible than any other text. President Reagan and President Washington both acknowledged the fundamental influence of the Bible in shaping American society and governance.
Parables
Jesus commonly used parables, which are simple stories that illustrate religious truths, to teach about the kingdom of God. The Synoptic Gospels differ in their portrayal of how people understood Jesus' parables, with Mark suggesting they were confusing without faith, Matthew connecting them to belief in Jesus, and Luke using them to warn, call people to follow, and instruct disciples. While John rarely includes parables, his gospel features dialogues between Jesus and others to clarify Jesus' meaning when his words are misunderstood.
What About All The Other Gospels Of Jesus
The document discusses several "gospels" outside the canonical four gospels of the New Testament. It provides context for why the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were selected for inclusion in the biblical canon while others like the Gospel of Thomas and Gospel of Peter were rejected. Key reasons given include issues with authorship, contradicting core Christian teachings, being written later than the eyewitness accounts, and promoting Gnostic beliefs.
Chpt1 Beginningspgs5 23
The document provides background information on key figures and events in early Christianity and its Jewish roots. It discusses Pentecost, Peter the fisherman who became a disciple of Jesus, the necessity of understanding Christianity's Jewish roots, Abraham as the father of Judaism and Christianity, the Exodus story and its significance for Christianity, divisions between Jewish groups in Roman times, the beginnings of the Church after Jesus' resurrection, and Paul's conversion and mission to spread Christianity to gentiles.

The Apostle Paul
The document discusses Paul's significant role in the early development of Christianity through his thirteen letters in the New Testament. It describes how Paul went from persecuting Christians to becoming one of the most important figures in defining Christian theology after his conversion experience on the road to Damascus. The document also provides context on how Romans tolerated Christianity as a sect of Judaism but saw the refusal to participate in rituals honoring Roman gods as treason.
Secret Gospels
The document discusses and analyzes claims made in The Da Vinci Code about ancient documents known as the Nag Hammadi texts. It summarizes that the Nag Hammadi texts were discovered in Egypt in 1945 and contained gospels, acts, letters and revelations. However, it notes that analysis shows the Nag Hammadi texts were written later than the books of the New Testament and promote Gnostic beliefs rather than being reliable historical sources about Jesus and Mary Magdalene. The document concludes that the non-canonical Gnostic gospels cited in The Da Vinci Code do not meet the criteria for canonicity and do not provide legitimate support for the novel's theories.
Reason For Hope
The document discusses reasons for Christian hope based on facts about Jesus that cannot be denied, even by skeptics. It notes that Jesus lived based on historical Roman records, and that the New Testament is a reliable historical document written by eyewitnesses within the lifetimes of other eyewitnesses. If the New Testament accounts are not true, it would have to be a carefully constructed lie, which the passionate eyewitness testimony of the authors makes unlikely.

Time frame of Christian Eduucation
The document summarizes the timeline of Christian education from Jesus Christ in 3 BC to 27 AD, who taught authoritatively and used various teaching methods, to Augustine from 354 to 450 AD, who emphasized God's sovereignty and founded the Augustinian Order of Monks. It discusses several influential early Christian educators like Origen, who wrote one of the earliest Study Bibles, and John Chrysostom, who saw the importance of teaching youth. The Council of Nicea in 325 established doctrines for Christians to believe in, like the Nicene Creed.
Historical Jesus Primer
How Bible Scholars and Historians analyze the Gospels using critical methods to separate the fact from fiction with regards to the historical Jesus. The information in this slideshow is based on 200 years of scholarly research.
Jesus was paul's number one subject
Paul's sole focus in his ministry was on preaching "Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." When ministering in Corinth, Paul determined to focus exclusively on this central message rather than on philosophy, rhetoric, or other topics. He did so for several reasons - it was the message from God, it was best suited to converting sinners and bringing comfort, and it promoted holiness. The crucifixion of Jesus revealed God's attributes of righteousness and mercy and provided pardon for sin, motivating obedience. Paul made "Christ crucified" his single overriding theme in emulation of Christ and to fulfill his duty as a preacher of the gospel.
The apostolic interpretation of christ
THESE various scriptures of the New Test
ament have obvious bearing on the
question which I propose to discuss,
namely : How far the apostolic interpretation
of Christ is trustworthy and authoritative?
It is conceded at the start that whatever
Christ Himself clearly taught is authoritative.
He is the light of the world. He is the great
divine Teacher; the supreme Personality
among the many master minds that have
spoken with authority.
Christianity power point
Christianity began in the 1st century AD following the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The New Testament documents Jesus' life and establishes the salvation of mankind through faith in God. Over subsequent centuries, Christianity spread throughout Europe and the doctrines and institutions of the Catholic Church developed under the leadership of the Pope in Rome. By the Late Middle Ages, Christianity had become the dominant religion across Europe, known as Christendom.

Matthew 5v5THIS World Is Not My Home.pptx
The document discusses the concept of meekness. It defines meekness as balance between excessive anger and having no anger at all. It provides examples of meekness in historical figures like Moses and Jesus Christ. Moses prayed for the nation of Israel when they accused him and remained faithful to them for 40 years. Jesus ate with sinners, paid taxes he didn't owe, and prayed for forgiveness of those who crucified him. The document states that meekness is having one's flesh bridled through faith in Jesus Christ and his gospel work. It closes by referencing looking forward to a new heaven and new earth according to God's promise.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

- 1. z Lesson Forty: Three Bold Claims 2 Corinthians
- 2. z I. HE WAS EQUAL TO THE CHIEFEST APOSTLES A. Suppose The evidence requires that he was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles. B. Whit This is an archaic word that means the smallest detail. C. Chiefest He didn’t even become behind those apostles people might think were the greatest of them.
- 3. z II. HE WAS LEARNED IN KNOWLEDGE First, he was educated by Gamaliel, one of the top teachers of the Jews. Second, he had been employed as a Pharisee, one of the leaders of the Jews Third, he had been led to Christ by none other than Jesus Fourth, he had been instructed by Jesus Christ in a wilderness for three years Fifth, he wrote half of the New Testament under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit Six, he continuously received new revelations from Jesus until 2 Timothy, the last book he wrote before his execution
- 4. z III. HE WAS OPEN AND HONEST AMONG THEM Paul said that he was “throughly made manifest.” Throughly and thoroughly are not the same word. Thoroughly means completely Throughly means sincerely and without reservation
