Does the bible command us to share our faith? Is there basis for doing Apologetics in the bible? That is the questions we will be looking at during this presentation.
Lesson 7 of a multipart series. The Cosmological, Ontological, Teleological and other arguments don't prove the God of the Bible, however, they do support a Theistic world view.
Part 4-3 in the series. Stewardship of the mind: practical guidance, worldview & apologetics.
According to Jesus, the greatest commandment in the Old Testament is: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." (Matthew 22:37-38). How are we to fulfill this commandment, especially the part about loving God with all our mind? Jesus implied that what we think and what we believe is extremely important to God, and being a thinking Christian is a major part of our loving God. Using Dr. J.P. Moreland's book, Love Your God With All Your Mind, this class will explore how we can use our minds to love and glorify God.
Many people assume that belief in God is based purely on blind faith. Best-selling books such as Richard Dawkins' “The God Delusion” and Christopher Hitchens' “God is Not Great” have aggressively argued that belief in God is irrational at best. From the academic standpoint, it appears that God may, indeed, be dead.
However, the declaration of God’s death may be premature. New scientific discoveries are reinvigorating classical arguments for the existence of God. In this talk, we will take a look at some of the most powerful contemporary arguments for a personal Creator.
What is the philosophical basis for a biblical and holistic approach to psychotherapy? What are the requirements for a biblical counselor? What are some examples of biblically-based interventions?

Does Absolute Truth Exist? Class # 1 introkandcrog
"Pilate said to Jesus, "Are You a King then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?"
What is truth? In our world today many seem to have decided "truth" is whatever they want it to be. Even when individuals are presented with strong and undisputed evidence, if it is not to their liking, they will not accept it as true for them. But for Christians this is not an option. However, there is powerful and convincing proof that Christianity is the one true religion, that the triune God who reveals himself in the Bible is the one and only God of the universe, and Jesus Christ died for our sins so that we may live. Yet many choose to ignore the evidence and instead hold to other beliefs.
We will use the book "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" by Norman L Geisler and Frank Truek to explore the topic of Christian Apologetics. We will study together and discuss the reasons for our faith as believers in Jesus Christ and we will equip ourselves to help skeptics who are open to the truth to see the real truth.
The Intersection of Philosophy, Science, and TheologySarah Salviander
A comparison of the religions of Christianity and modern secularism — their philosophies, science, and theologies — in light of internal consistency, consistency with the world, and the fruit they bear.
The evidence over the last century indicates that the religion of modern secularism has been a disaster for humankind, and that Christianity is the best option if humans are to survive and thrive.
Creation is consciousness and intelligence of Creator [Jesus] unfolding and enfolding in time cycles. The universe is living thing which is very much in control. Destruction is part of its reconstruction process in time. The human soul its consciousness and intelligence is born from the universal consciousness and intelligence. We have fallen from Creator’s illuminating intelligence field and struggle in darkness because of our “self”. The world speaks of Green Energies, Super Computers and so on. But we are coming to a point where our primary importance becomes Our Survival on Planet Earth. Only Knowledge from the High can help.

3. Why Apologetics?
❖ 1 Peter 3:13 For who is going to harm you if you are
devoted to what is good? But in fact, if you happen
to suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. But
do not be terrified of them or be shaken. But set
Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always be
ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about
the hope you possess...
4. Why Apologetics?
❖ ...Yet do it with courtesy and respect, keeping a
good conscience, so that those who slander your
good conduct in Christ may be put to shame when
they accuse you. For it is better to suffer for doing
good, if God wills it, than for doing evil. 1 Peter
3:13-16 (NET)
5. Why Apologetics?
❖ “...always be ready to give an answer to anyone who
asks about the hope you possess...” !
❖ The Greek word used for “give an answer” is
α#ολογια. It means to give a defense.
6. Why Apologetics?
❖ Faith, on its own, is not enough.!
❖ Simple faith doesn’t enable us to defend the gospel,
and make a well-reasoned case for Christ.!
❖ Faith and Truth!
❖ Truth and Love
7. Why Apologetics?
❖ The Needs of Evangelism have Changed:!
❖ Culture has shifted from valuing fact to experience. !
❖ Can’t assume people have a christian woldview /
values.!
❖ Atheists have gone on the offensive, writing books like
The God Delusion, and The Blind Watchmaker.
8. Why Apologetics?
❖ High school students are leaving the faith but still
attending church... until they go to college.!
❖ 40% of our students will stop attending church when
they graduate. !
❖ Studies show that most can’t articulate their beliefs.!
❖ “Moralistic-therapeutic-deism”
13. Christians say that the Bible is
true, but the original documents
have never been found. You only
have copies. You can’t know
what it said originally, and yet
you base your life off of these
copies.
14. The Bible says in Genesis that
the earth is 6,000 years old, but
science has clearly shown that
the universe is > 6 Billion years
old. The Bible must be wrong.
15. Science clearly shows that life
came about through evolution,
but you claim that some
intelligent God created
everything.
16. Christians claim to be loving, but
they oppose homosexuals and
their equal rights and happiness.
How is that loving?
17. Christians try to impose their
moral standard on everyone,
and they shouldn’t do that. Just
because something is right for
you, don’t mean it’s right for me.
18. God doesn’t exist because, if he
did, there wouldn’t be evil, pain,
or suffering. If God is all good
and all powerful, he would have
to prevent evil.
19. We can’t fully know if something
is true. It might be true for you.
Your faith experience might be
true for you, but I have had my
own experiences that show me
what I know to be true.
20. Christians believe in the Trinity,
which is 3 beings in 1 being. This
is a logical contradiction similar
to saying there is a “Square
Circle”.
22. What is a world view?
