We take a walk through the events of the last days of Jesus’ life examining critics’ challenges of error in the Gospels’ accounts. (Links open in YouTube in a new window)
Often times people are lead astray and find reason to doubt their faith because of reasonable-sounding arguments and rhetorically powerful claims that appeal to their emotions. However, often, upon further inspection, these arguments and claims do not hold up to scrutiny.
In this six part series, we responded to ten such challenges put forward by a popular atheist YouTube personality, PineCreek.
In this 6th and last installment in the series, we address the challenge by atheist, PineCreek, that even if Jesus had not risen bodily from the dead we could still have the evidence found in the New Testament documents.
In this 5th session addressing the video by YouTuber, PineCreek, “How to Cause Trouble in Church”, Pastor Marc addresses the issues whether the Old and New Testaments present a consistent message as well as some alleged errors in the Bible.
In this session responding to atheist PineCreek Doug, we examine some challenges regarding (1) whether the differences in the Gospels lend credibility and (2) whether the number of manuscript copies bolsters the case for the reliability of the New Testament.
In this 3rd session addressing the video by YouTuber, PineCreek, “How to Cause Trouble in Church”, Pastor Marc addresses the issue of the Gospel authors being eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus and whether Luke’s relationship to Paul should be called into question.
In his Wednesday evening class, Pastor Marc responds to the video by Douglas (PineCreek) Letkeman. In his original video, Douglas makes the challenge of 10 issues which he claims cast doubt on the Bible’s historicity and would therefore “cause trouble in church”. This video deals with the first 3.
Pastor Marc starts a new Wednesday evening series responding to a video by popular atheist YouTuber, PineCreek, titled “How to Cause Trouble in Church” which attempts to cast doubts on the trustworthiness of the Bible. This series shows why the claims made in the video are really no trouble at all.
How can Jesus be both God and God’s Son? If He is God’s Son doesn’t that mean Jesus came after God? Then how can He be eternal? Does the Bible really teach that Mary was a virgin?
The four writings of the New Testament called “The Gospels” are where we get the details of Christ’s life and teachings while He was on Earth, so their credibility is of great importance. In recent times, the authorship of these documents have come into question among some scholars, and critics of Christianity often use these ideas to speak against the truth of the Biblical teachings. So who did write the Gospels? Can we be confident that we have reliable testimony of the life of Jesus? How can do we respond when we are faced with the claims that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John did not write these foundational texts?
