Defend Your Faith Lesson #6 - Can I Know the Bible is True?
This document discusses how Christians can know that the Bible is true. It argues that God has revealed himself through prophets, his Son Jesus, and the Bible. The Bible's message comes from God's revelation and was inspired by the Holy Spirit to ensure it is without error. The document examines biblical passages that claim inspiration and inerrancy for Scripture. It defines key concepts like revelation, inspiration, and inerrancy and argues they show the Bible accurately communicates God's message to humanity.

This is the second powerpoint presentation in our ongoing Bible class series, "Defend Your Faith - A Study of Christian Evidences."
The trinity pt2_en
The document summarizes the primary roles of each member of the Trinity. It states that creation is primarily attributed to God the Father, redemption and salvation of mankind is primarily attributed to God the Son, and sanctification and renewal is primarily attributed to the Holy Spirit. However, it notes that each member plays a role in the others' domains as well. The document provides biblical examples to support these roles and emphasizes that while the Trinity's roles can be distinguished, all three persons are fully God.
Jesus, the Expression of God’s Love
Jesus is referred to as the Word of God in John 1:1. As God's Word, Jesus communicates God's message and love to humanity. God sent Jesus to die on the cross as the ultimate proof of His great love for us. Jesus is God's expression of love to humanity.
HOIA No.5: God's plan of Salvation, Part 1
God's plan of salvation, decided before creation, was motivated by His love for humanity. Knowing humans would sin, God devised a way to save all through His Son's death on the cross. Jesus' sacrificial death satisfied God's holy and just nature, while also demonstrating His love, mercy and grace. By His death, Jesus acted as a substitute/ransom to redeem humanity, turning away God's wrath and reconciling humans to God through propitiation.
Hello, My Name is Holy Spirit part 06
The document describes events from Acts 2 where the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples gathered in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. They heard a sound like a blowing wind and saw what appeared to be tongues of fire that separated and rested on each person, filling them with the Holy Spirit. They began speaking in other languages, astonishing Jews from various regions who heard them speaking in their native tongues. Some in the crowd were perplexed by what happened while others thought the disciples were drunk.
God, the Trinity, & the Divinity of Jesus
This document discusses the Christian doctrine of the Trinity - that God exists as three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) in one being. It provides arguments for the existence of God and the divinity of Jesus from historical, cosmological, teleological, moral, and existential perspectives. It examines the biblical basis for the Trinity in both the Old and New Testaments. It addresses common objections to the Trinity and concludes that an eternal, loving God must necessarily be a Trinity to fulfill the nature of love between persons.

04 escape from the world
This document discusses five things that can help avoid being influenced by the harmful habits of the world:
1) Thinking of Christ by bringing thoughts into obedience to him and focusing on things that are true, noble, just, pure, and praiseworthy.
2) Knowing Christ better through studying the Bible to know his truth, works, and teachings in order to entrust one's life to him.
3) Prayer as essential communication with Christ through faith, continual prayer, and according to God's will.
4) Seeking God's wisdom in fearing him and observing his law to correctly understand worldly dangers.
5) Being guided by the Holy Spirit to distinguish truth from error and empowering one
Sabbath school lesson 3, 3rd quarter 2021
1) Restlessness comes from not getting what we want or due to our sinful nature, and can motivate conflict even within families.
2) Jesus taught that we must choose to follow him above all else, even our families, or it can lead to division.
3) Egoism, ambition, and hypocrisy are roots of inner restlessness, while trusting in God and focusing on others rather than ourselves can help overcome these.
4) To find peace when feeling restless, we must trust in God's promises and life to come in heaven.

By Mike Smith Seriously look at what some consider to be true views of God but are not. Let the Bible instruct your heart on the correct view of things concerning God.
Colossians 1
This letter is from Paul and Timothy to the faithful Christians in Colosse. Paul thanks God for their faith in Christ and love for all people, which comes from their hope of what God has reserved for them in heaven. He notes that the same Good News that came to them is now spreading throughout the world and changing lives. The document then briefly mentions Gnosticism and lingering dualism as heresies that viewed the material world as evil.
Chapter 14
This document discusses the divine nature and authority of the Bible. It argues that the Bible is holy, as God is holy. It is set apart from all other writings as the Word of God. The document also asserts that the Bible is inerrant, as God cannot err, and the Bible was authored by God through human writers. It addresses objections to inerrancy by distinguishing between the human and divine aspects of Scripture. In conclusion, the internal evidence strongly supports that the Bible is of divine origin and bears the fingerprints of God.
Sabbath school lesson 1, 3rd quarter 2021
This document provides a lesson on finding rest from God's perspective based on biblical passages. It discusses:
- God instituted the Sabbath as a day of rest for physical, mental, and spiritual restoration.
- God is concerned about our need for rest, as shown through his response to Baruch who was overwhelmed with grief and unable to find rest.
- The Old and New Testaments describe different words for "rest" involving ceasing from work, relaxing, and finding peace and quiet.
- Without God, people like Cain try to find rest through material things and busy lives instead of accepting God's offer of spiritual rest.
- True rest is found by sitting under the shadow of
Rick Warren, Purpose Driven life: Section 39
1. The document discusses balancing the five purposes in life that God intends for people: loving God, loving others, sharing God's message, being part of God's family, and becoming like Christ.
2. It recommends four things to achieve balance: discussing progress with a spiritual partner or group, regularly evaluating one's spiritual growth, keeping a journal, and passing knowledge on to others.
3. The ultimate goal of balance is to bring glory to God by continuing his work of helping people know and love him, and helping them mature and find their place of service.
The Worst of Them All
As we grow closer to Christ, we will develop a humble response to Truth. Over time we will see God's holiness as much more lofty than when we began. And, as that happens, we will see the ugliness of our sinfulness more and more clearly.
How to develop_a_quiet_time_with_god (1) edited
This document provides guidance on establishing a daily quiet time with God. It explains that a quiet time involves setting aside alone time each day to get to know God through Bible reading and prayer. It emphasizes that this was Jesus' source of strength and is important for spiritual growth. The document offers tips for how to structure a quiet time, including choosing a consistent time and place, gathering materials like a Bible and notebook, and following a simple plan of reading, reflecting on what is read, applying it, and praying. It encourages committing to a daily quiet time through a sample prayer.
07 language, text, context
This lesson discusses several key aspects of understanding the Bible:
- The original languages of Hebrew and Greek can have rich meanings that are lost in translation. Understanding context is important.
- Authors like Amos are identified, showing the Bible was written over many ages and in different styles like poetry and prophecy.
- repetition was used in the original languages to emphasize important ideas that God wanted to highlight.
- Considering the author, date written, intended audience and historical context provides crucial understanding of the messages in each book.
Who is God?
The document discusses arguments for the existence of God and common misconceptions about God's nature. It examines cosmological, teleological, anthropological, ontological, moral, biological, historical, and Christological arguments for believing in God. It also considers the pantheistic, polytheistic, and dualistic views of God as incorrect based on biblical teachings that describe God as spirit, light, love, and a consuming fire who is eternal, self-sufficient, unchangeable, all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present as a three-in-one being.
Purpose driven life 3 - discipleship part 3
God uses difficult situations like trouble, temptation, and offenses from others to teach us important spiritual lessons. Through trouble, we learn to trust God; through temptation, we learn to obey; and through offenses from others, we learn to forgive. Jesus' example on the cross shows how to respond to those who hurt us by forgiving them and leaving judgment in God's hands. True spiritual maturity is developing the mindset of Christ to forgive others as we have been freely forgiven by God.
Coffee cupverses6
The document contains passages from the book of Philippians in the Bible on the topic of having the right attitude. It discusses how Jesus, though being God, humbled himself by becoming human and dying on the cross. It encourages the reader to have the same humble attitude as Jesus by not clinging to status or privileges, but making oneself lowly and obedient. It suggests humility is key to learning, relationships, and relating to God, while pride is opposed by God.
Colossians 6
The document discusses unity in Christ and how believers should conduct themselves. It encourages putting on the new self and being renewed in knowledge of God, and treating others with mercy, kindness, humility and forgiveness. It contrasts this unity with disunity caused by philosophies like Marxism that deny God and promote materialism and humanism over spiritual matters. It emphasizes that through faith in Christ, believers are united with God and each other.
Chapter 36
God's omniscience is defined as God knowing everything past, present, and future, except for the logically impossible. The document provides biblical support for God's omniscience from several passages in Genesis, Job, Psalms, Isaiah, Matthew, Acts, Romans, Ephesians, and Hebrews. It also notes that readers should familiarize themselves with twelve common objections to God's omniscience and the responses to them as discussed in a book by Geisler.
5 baptism
The document discusses the different types of baptism mentioned in the New Testament, including: 1) the baptism of John the Baptist, 2) the baptism of suffering of Jesus, 3) baptism in water, and 4) baptism in the Holy Spirit. It defines baptism as submerging a person totally in water, representing their union with Christ. The importance, requirements, and benefits of water baptism are outlined, including identifying with Christ's death and resurrection, the example set by Jesus, and receiving the Holy Spirit.
Rick Warren, Purpose Driven Life: Section 38
This document discusses how to become a "World Class Christian" by shifting one's thinking from a worldly perspective to a global, eternal perspective focused on fulfilling the Great Commission. It encourages moving from self-centered thinking to being mission-focused by getting involved locally and globally through acts like praying for other nations, going on short-term mission trips, and using resources to help bring others to Christ rather than for self-gratification. Excuses about age, skills or language are dismissed, and embracing suffering and sacrifice in service to God's mission is emphasized.

08 August 28, 2011 Philippians, Chapter One
This document provides a summary of a sermon given on Philippians 1:1. It discusses the key themes of joy and being servants/slaves of Christ. Some main points:
- True joy comes from being at peace with God and others, not from circumstances. It is a gift from God produced by the Holy Spirit.
- Believers are called to be bond-servants or slaves of Christ, willingly submitting to his authority like an Old Testament slave. Paul referred to himself as a bond-servant, though he had great status and credentials.

100912 Flower Child Theology
The document discusses the Calvinist doctrine of perseverance of the saints, also known as "once saved, always saved." It presents arguments both for and against the idea that one can lose their salvation. Key points include: 1) Calvinists believe that if one is truly saved they can never lose salvation, while others point to biblical warnings about falling away from faith. 2) Several passages are discussed that condition eternal life on ongoing faith, obedience, and not forgetting God. 3) The idea that one's name can potentially be erased from the book of life is presented.
More Than A Bond Servant
The document discusses the concept of a "bond servant" or slave in the Bible. It explains that in the Old Testament, a slave could voluntarily become a bond servant for life by declaring their love for their master, wife, and children. Their ear would then be pierced with an awl as a sign they were a slave for life. The document argues that this concept reflects how believers are bond servants of Christ, having given their lives to him completely. It stresses the importance of being humble and obedient like Jesus, who was the ultimate suffering servant and gave his life to fulfill God's will.

4) Heaven will begin with a marriage feast/banquet for all believers with the Lamb (Jesus Christ).
Unconditional Election - Understanding Romans 9
Romans 9 is one of the most commonly used proof-texts to support the Calvinistic concept of unconditional election. This presentation briefly examines the arguments made from the text and answers them, vindicating the Bible concept of human free will.
Know Scripture
The Bible stands alone as an incredible ancient book. It is forcefully substantiated by thousands of ancient copies and thousands of fulfilled prophecies. It has always been powerful.
09 Believing In The Son
This document discusses key aspects of believing in Jesus. It states that believing in Jesus involves accepting him as Savior, Lord, and King such that he dwells in our hearts. It notes that those who believe are born again by the Holy Spirit and become children of God, overcoming sin and the world. The document outlines rewards in heaven for overcoming, including ruling nations and receiving the morning star. It identifies the Spirit, water, and blood as the three witnesses testifying about Jesus, and says believers must also testify about him.
Predestined for Glory
A study on the doctrine of predestination as found in scripture and its many implications for the end time.
This document seeks to look at the scriptural teaching of predestination and where the completion of the purposes of predestination should be expected to be carried out. Clear pinpoint links between predestination, election, justification, sanctification and glorification presented. Prayerful reading required.
Reading time: Approximately 30 minutes.
Bema Judgment from Willmington Guide to the Bible
The bema judgment is not about determining salvation, but about evaluating believers' works and stewardship since salvation. Believers will give an account for how they used their gifts, treated others, exercised authority, spent money, suffered for Christ, spent time, ran their race, controlled their sin nature, and witnessed to souls. Works will be tested and classified as gold, silver, precious stones (worthy), or wood, hay, stubble (worthless). Rewards in heaven will be based on faithful stewardship and productivity for the kingdom.

Foundational - The Necessity of Baptism
Baptism is a necessary part of the salvation process. To be baptized properly, one must be capable of making rational decisions and committing to faith in God and obedience to his commands. Several biblical examples show people being baptized after believing. While Romans 3:22-27 does not explicitly mention baptism for salvation, other passages like Romans 6:3-4 and Acts 2:38 connect baptism and salvation. Baptism signifies immersion in water and was the method used in apostolic times. Faith alone is not enough, as faith leads one to act through baptism. Baptism is the beginning of one's journey of faith, not the end, and one must continue in faith to be saved.
The Age of Accountability
The document discusses the concept of accountability and addresses several questions on this topic. It defines accountability as actions being measured against a standard to determine if they are right or wrong. People are accountable to God, and the standard we are measured by is the Bible. The Bible teaches that we must believe, repent of sins, be baptized, confess faith in Jesus, and faithfully obey God's commands. We become accountable when we understand these concepts. There is no single age of accountability, as people learn at different rates. Those unable to comprehend these biblical teachings, like some children or those with intellectual disabilities, may not be held accountable in the same way.
Old Fashioned - Gender Roles in the Church
This document discusses gender roles in the New Testament church. It presents several Bible passages that describe distinct roles for men and women, with women called to submission and silence in church. The document then considers views that justify allowing women to preach and teach publicly today. It argues that all Scripture is inspired, including Apostles' teachings, and that lack of male leadership has led women to fill roles they aren't biblically permitted to. The roles described in the NT church were specific and not a denial of dignity or importance.

Those unable to comprehend these biblical teachings, such as young children or those with intellectual disabilities, would not be held accountable in the same way.
Unquenchable - A Discussion about Hell
God is both good and just. Eternal punishment for sin is consistent with God's holy nature, as he cannot tolerate wickedness. Physical death separates the soul from the body, and spiritual death separates people from God. The Bible describes hell as eternal punishment and torment for those who die spiritually separated from God. However, through Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, salvation and reconciliation with God is available to all who have faith in him. Those who do not obey God and reject this salvation will face eternal punishment in hell.
Heavenly Country
To go to heaven one must be faithful to God and Jesus Christ. While God desires all people to be saved, people have free will and can reject God. The Bible indicates that those who want to go to heaven must make choices to serve God, look to the reward in heaven, and wait for the heavenly city. Jesus and the New Testament discuss heaven as being reserved for believers and the righteous. What is required is living for and dying in the Lord by ceasing from works and resting in him.
Inspirational - The Work of the Holy Spirit Today
The document discusses the role and nature of the Holy Spirit. It argues that the Holy Spirit is God based on references in the Bible. It explains that before the Church, the Holy Spirit worked in creation, revelation through prophets, and God's providence. For the Church, the Holy Spirit served as a companion, helping reveal truth and Scripture. The Holy Spirit validated the early Church through miracles and indwells believers as a gift after baptism. Finally, the Holy Spirit continues to intercede for believers and never leaves their side.
Follow their lead roles and qualities of church leaders
This document discusses how churches should be led according to the Bible. It states that elders are the leaders of the church, as shown in several passages, and lists qualifications for elders from 1 Timothy and Titus, such as being above reproach, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, and able to teach sound doctrine. Deacons are described as servants who must also meet qualifications like dignity and faithfulness. Preachers are described as teachers who are to preach the word of God boldly as shown in 2 Timothy 4:1-5. The roles of elders, deacons, and preachers in the church are explained based on biblical passages.
Two Paths
The document discusses the concept of judgment according to Christianity. It notes that there are two paths in life, one narrow that leads to life and one wide that leads to destruction. It states that after death, all people will face judgment for their actions on Earth based on the standards of God. The purpose of judgment is to validate God's righteousness, wisdom, and love.
Whispers - How God's Providence Works Today
This document discusses God's providence today and how he still interacts with his followers, though not through miracles. It provides examples from the Old Testament of God's providence seen through the stories of Joseph and Ruth. While God was with certain biblical figures, they still experienced hardship, showing that God's providence does not prevent all suffering but instead shows his will unfolding over time.

It notes the four main elements of early Apostolic preaching included addressing the age of fulfillment, summarizing Jesus, justifying from the Old Testament, and a call to repentance. The early church is described as possessing apostolic teaching, mutual fellowship, constant edification, and exponential growth.

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

Defend Your Faith Lesson #5 - The Problem with Hell
- 1. Defend Your Faith A Study in Christian Evidences
- 2. Lesson No. Five The Problem with Hell
- 3. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. - C.S. Lewis
- 4. First Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear. (c) ESV
- 5. Psalm 139:14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. (c) NKJV
- 6. Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after our likeness.” (c) ESV
- 7. Psalm 118:8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. (c) ESV
- 8. Deuteronomy 32:4 The Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity. Just and upright is He. (c) ESV
- 9. God is Love? The inherent problem many people have with God is what seems to be the inconsistency in His nature. They phrase it this way: If God is love (see 1 John 4:8) how could He send people to hell?
- 10. The Argument Just because God is loving doesn’t mean that God isn’t also just (see Deut. 32:4). Both of those ideas are part of His nature. Humanity seems to think that they contradict one another, but do they? No. God is both loving and just. It is not inherently a contradiction.
- 11. A Parable As we examine the story of the rich man and Lazarus from Luke 16 do we see both love and justice found in God’s judgment? Did Lazarus get what he deserved? Did Lazarus receive God’s love? Did the rich man get what he deserved? Did the rich man receive God’s love?
- 12. A Parable We would say both got what they deserved And both were recipients of God’s love. Lazarus received God’s love in death. Many people would say Lazarus’ place in the afterlife was both just and loving. The rich man received God’s love and blessings in life. The rich man got what he (earned) deserved in death.
- 13. What Do We Know? The parable speaks of a place of torment and comfort. Two unique places. However, this is before the day of judgment (1 John 4:16-17) so this place must exist outside of a permanent heaven and hell. The OT talk of death and Sheol (see Job 7:9-10) is a parallel to this idea in the NT.
- 14. Hell Revelation 20:11-15 describes a “lake of fire” after judgment for those who aren’t written in the “Book of Life.” It’s an analogy of the future event that clearly describes places and judgments based upon the actions of people.
- 15. Jesus on Judgment, Hell In Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus clearly describes the Day of Judgment: 1 There will be 2 groups of people. 2 There will be 2 destinations. 3 Some won’t understand why they’re going to one place verses the other. 4 It will be eternal.
- 16. This is Important Scripture clearly shows that judgment is something that on one can escape. The judgment we all must face will be a result of our actions and will determine our future residence when this would ends or we die. We are not sent anywhere by God randomly. Our actions in this world determine our future.
