How do we approach history? Josh quotes from Dr. Ron Sider and explains his conclusion to studying history.

Most people reject the miracle of the resurrection because of their philosophical bias. Join Josh as he presents studying history in light of living in a “closed system.” Is it true or false?

The Christian faith is not a subjective faith but an objective faith. It is faith in Christ. The key to the Christian faith is the person of Jesus Christ. Is He who He claimed to be?

Josh goes through Mark 14:60-64, the trial of Jesus, to prove that Jesus claimed to be God. The trial of Jesus is just an outspoken, obvious declaration that He claimed to be God. It’s a very unusual trial.

Jesus claimed to be God, and his claims lead to two alternatives: they were either false or they were true. Josh continues the breakdown of this reasoning method to prove Christ’s deity.

The followers of Jesus likewise proclaimed that He was God. Josh goes through Scripture accounts and statements from church fathers to prove the point.

Christ cannot be a good religious man or moral teacher when He claimed to be God. Josh continues to discuss the “trilemma” when it comes to the claims of Christ.

If Jesus’ claims were false, then He was a liar or a lunatic. If they were true, then that means He is Lord. If He is Lord, then there are two alternatives…

Josh goes through Mark 2:3-7 to prove that Jesus claimed to be God.

Josh goes through Matthew 16:13-17 and Matthew 27:41-43 to prove that Jesus claimed to be God.

Josh explains the importance of reading Scripture in its original context and with the original audience in mind. Not doing this can cause some people to miss Jesus’ claim to be God. He did not claim to be a mortal prophet, a great man, or a great messenger, but God Incarnate.

Josh goes through John 5 and John 10:27-36 to prove that Jesus claimed to be God.

Jesus claimed to be God in human flesh. The question is, is that true? Whether He was or not is not the issue, but the fact that He did claim to be God.

Critics have said that Moses, who lived in 1400 B.C., could not have written the priestly codes and the moral legislation, because there was not time for it to evolve to that level. How do the finds from Ebla address this critique?

Josh gives a brief overview of Paul’s life, his Jewish roots, and conversion.

Josh gives an interesting defense of the truthfulness of the Scriptures by pointing to the prophecies and history regarding the Jewish people.

There are many traditions that record the same stories of history. While many people say this is the very reason they don’t believe the Bible, it ironically proves the truth and accuracy of the Bible.

Something dynamic happened in Paul’s life in a short period of time that turned his world upside down. He not only became a Christian, he became a leader of the church in Jerusalem, and he became an evangelist over the known world to share Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

Josh explains why one of the greatest testimonies of the power of Jesus Christ, the validity of the Scriptures, and the resurrection is the Apostle Paul.

The criticism regarding the different names of God in the Pentateuch are silenced by the discoveries in Ebla.
