Ryan Bowman Q&A Audio

Tonight we had the pleasure to spend some time with prospective Pastor Ryan Bowman, at a youth pizza party and Q&A Session. Many good questions were asked, and this was an opportunity for the youth to get to know the man who may soon be leading our church, and for him to get to know the youth group at FBCE. Check out the audio from the Q&A Session below!

Final 11th/12th Grade DGroup Recap

We wrapped up our study of “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist” this week. Mr. Crews and Mr. Budde did a great job presenting the material. Hats off to you guys and gals for attending and hanging in there with this important material. We briefly discussed the problem of evil and the moral argument last night and showed how most atheists borrow from a Christian worldview.

Additionally, we introduced some conversational tactics for using when you get in a discussion about faith. Especially when someone else makes a claim against Christianity. The information is taken from an excellent book and study called “Tactics in Defending the Faith” by Greg Koukl of Stand to Reason (www.str.org) We highly recommend this material, the website and his weekly podcasts. We provided the youth with a Tactics Quick Reference Guide card to help them navigate these sorts of conversations.

Basically, remember:

1)      Gather information by asking, “What do you mean by that?”

2)      Shift the burden of proof by asking, “How did you come to that conclusion?”

3)      Lead the person to some important insight: “Have you ever considered…?”

We discussed continuing the “apologetics” discussion through the summer with a weekly movie night. There was interest and I promised I would publish the names of the DVDs here. We can pick an order and the best night to meet together to view, have food and discuss. We even have the option of screening some of these on an outdoor screen. Let me know what night works best for everyone Here are the titles:

1)      Metamorphosis—The beauty & design of butterflies (explores intelligent design)

2)      Unlocking the Mystery of Life—The Scientific Case for Intelligent design

3)      The Privileged Planet—The Search for Purpose in the Universe

4)      Darwin’s Dilemma—The Mystery of the Cambrian Fossil Record

5)      The Case for Faith—A Journalist Investigates the Toughest Objections to Christianity

6)      The Case for Christ—A Journalist’s Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus

7)      The Case for a Creator—A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God

(Wed. nights will not work for me as I will be teaching a Wed. night Bible study for women called “The Thinking Series” which explores apologetics topics. I would like to invite the 11^th and 12^thgrade young women, and their moms and friends if they are interested, to join me; details to come.) http://www.apologeticscanada.com/conference-2014/thinking-series-2014/

For those of you heading off to college in the fall, be sure to let me know where you will be attending. I can let you know if there is a Ratio Christi Chapter on your campus and if not, we can talk about how to get one started. You can also visit this link to find out where we have chapters.http://ratiochristi.org/chapters

It was a pleasure working with you all. Check the blog even during the summer as I will post apologetics related info I think you should know as needed. Also, be sure to share your resource guides with your family and don’t forget to take them to college.

(If you did not attend D Groups on 5/4 and receive your resource guide, let me know and I will get one to you!)

11th & 12th Grade DGroup Recap

Last night we delved into the deity of Christ. Is Jesus God or just a great moral teacher? In review, we’ve been dealing with the accuracy of the New Testament writings. We’ve established that we know they are accurate and an easy way to remember the evidences are to remember they all start with “E.” NT writers gave testimony that was early, eyewitness, embarrassing and excruciating. Secular historians and archeology provide extrabiblical and enemy testimony. There is actually testimony from the OT as well that would be considered “expected.” The OT predicted the arrival of a Messiah.

1)      OT Claims that Christ was the Messiah--Isaiah 42 and 53 predict a servant Messiah and suffering Messiah. These predate Christ by several hundred years. There are also Messianic passages in Genesis, Jeremiah, other Isaiah passages, Micah, Malachi and Daniel. Turek notes, “Jesus’ life serves as the box top for many pieces of the prophetic puzzle found throughout the Old Testament.”There have been at least 71 OT messianic prophecies fulfilled by Christ.

2)      Apostles claimed Christ’s deity.

3)      Demons acknowledged that Jesus was God.

4)      Jesus’ claims to be God—direct and indirect--In one of the most stunning claims of his deity, Jesus uses OT, Jewish wording that his NT Jewish audience would clearly understand. He referred to himself as, “I Am.” He also referenced a passage in Daniel about the Son of Man returning to judge the world with authority given by God. It is popular for unbelievers these days to say that Jesus didn’t claim to be God. They clearly have not read the evidence. However, a good question to ask them when they state this is, “If Jesus didn’t claim to be God, then why was he killed?” His crucifixion is difficult to explain unless he made that claim. Jesus also made many indirect claims to be God. He declared his deity implicitly through parables. He performed miracles. He acted as if he was God through divine actions. He accepted worship and commended those who acknowledged his deity.

In a famous statement and argument by C.S. Lewis, Lewis explores three possibilities—namely that Jesus was either Lord, a liar or a lunatic. Liar and lunatic do not fit the facts of his life—how he lived and what others thought of him. That leaves us with Lord. We can also show from our previous study of the evidence that he was not a legend either. “In light of Jesus’ miraculous deeds, his resurrection, his supreme conduct and teachings, the prophecies fulfilled, and the fact that he would be unlikely to die for his own lie, liar and lunatic are eliminated. All of the evidence points to the fact that he was The Lord.

The Trinity

We also discussed the important, but difficult to understand, concept of the trinity. We looked at an explanation that avoids heresies which states that The Trinity is three persons with one nature. And that Jesus is one person with two natures—both divine and human. The three “whos” are the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. All three of those “whos” have one divine nature. The Son, does not give up his divine nature, but he adds a human nature when he takes on skin and walks the earth as Jesus.

Some important things to remember about the Trinity: The Father and the Son are equal in essence but different in function. The Trinity may be beyond reason, but it’s not against reason. While we can’t comprehend an infinite God, we can apprehend the Trinity. The Trinity actually helps us understand how love has existed from all eternity. Tri-unity in the Godhead solves the problem. To have love, there must be lover (the Father), a loved one (the Son), and a spirit of love (the Holy Spirit).

(Much of the above is taken directly from Turek/Geisler’s book “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist.”)

11th and 12th Grade DGroup Recap

In last night’s class we reviewed some of the same material that was presented in last week’s “The Case for Easter” simulcast. We reiterated that if Christ did not rise from the dead, then our study of all this material is in vain because it makes no difference. The resurrection of Christ is the linchpin of our faith. (I Cor. 15:12-18).

We took a look at Dr. Gary Habermas’s work—a world renowned scholar on the resurrection. In reviewing 1,400+ works on the resurrection written from 1975 to 2003, he shows that virtually all scholars from across the ideological spectrum agree that the following points are historical facts:

1)      Jesus died by Roman crucifixion.

2)      He was buried, most likely in a private tomb.

3)      Soon afterwards the disciples were discouraged, bereaved, and despondent, having lost hope.

4)      Jesus’ empty tomb was found empty very soon after his interment.

5)      The disciples had experiences that they believed were actual appearances of the risen Jesus.

6)      Due to these experiences, the disciples’ lives were thoroughly transformed. They were even willing to die for their belief.

7)      The proclamation of the Resurrection took pace very early, from the beginning of church history.

8)      The disciples’ public testimony and preaching of the Resurrection took place in the city of Jerusalem, where Jesus had been crucified and buried shortly before.

9)      The gospel message centered on the preaching of the death and resurrection of Jesus.

10)   Sunday was the primary day for gathering and worshipping.

11)   James, the brother of Jesus and a skeptic before this time, was converted when he believed he also saw the risen Jesus.

12)   Just a few years later, Saul of Tarsus (Paul) became a Christian believer, due to an experience that he also believed was an appearance of the risen Jesus.

You can be confident in your belief! And you can share this with others.

All the theories posited against the resurrection have been convincingly refuted.

1)      Hallucination Theory—hallucinations aren’t experienced by groups, he appeared on 12 separate occasions, in a variety of settings to different people over 40 days, empty tomb

2)      Wrong Tomb Theory—Roman authorities would have gone to the right one to produce the body; the tomb would have been known by both the Jews and Romans, doesn’t explain appearances

3)      Swoon or Apparent Death Theory—enemies and friends believed he was dead, modern doctors believe he actually died, he was embalmed in 75 pounds of bandages and spices, how could someone as injured and bleeding as him stayed alive an additional 36 hours and he would have appeared to them in that manner, how could Jesus have gotten out of the tomb in that shape, doesn’t explain Paul’s Damascus road experience, non-Christian writers affirmed his death by crucifixion.

4)      Stolen Body Theory—why would the disciples have stolen the body in order to get themselves beaten, tortured and martyred?, no motive or ability to steal it, how would sleeping guards have known or admitted to sleeping because of the punishment they would have received.

5)      Substitute Body Theory—(offered by many Muslims), no evidence, assertion occurs 600 years after Jesus’ life

6)      Disciples faith led them to believe in resurrection—no proof

7)      NT writers copied pagan resurrection myths—NT is not mythological, doesn’t explain empty tomb/martyrdom/extrabiblical evidence, no Greek or Roman myths spoke of a resurrection of a monotheistic God, first real parallel does not appear until 100 years after origin of Christianity.

Remember this: Christian need to put the burden of proof on skeptics for their alternative theories. A theory is not evidence. Many of the theories come from a philosophy of anti-supernaturalism. So why don’t all scholars believe the evidence? A philosophical bias against miracles.

I hope this puts Easter in a new light for you this year.

Here’s your challenge for this week:

Go to this link and play the Resurrection game until you can make it through all eight levels, recording what you get wrong at each stage. Let me know how many rounds it takes. Easter Candy for those who give it a try. Least attempts to get it all right wins. See you in two weeks!

11th & 12th grade DGroup Recap

Last night we covered more evidence for the truth and reliability of the New Testament. As we set out to discover if:

-- we have accurate copies of the original NT documents.  (See last week’s blog for that review.)

--the original NT documents tell the truth.

We can remember the Six E’s of evidence that the NT is true. (These are the same types of evidence we would look for in any historical work from antiquity.)

·        Early Testimony—we know that all or most of the NT was written before 70 A.D.—so within a 1-2 generations of Christ’s death. (no time for myth or legend to develop without being debunked.)

·        Eyewitness Testimony—among other convincing proofs: 84 historically confirmed eyewitness details in Acts, more in Luke’s Gospel, 59 historically confirmed or probable details in John, NT documents have more than 30 people confirmed by secular sources of archaeology.

·        Embarrassing Testimony—someone making up a story would not include embarrassing details about themselves; apostles are portrayed in NT as dimwitted, uncaring, rebuked, cowards and doubters among other uncomplimentary traits.

·        Excruciating Testimony—all but one apostle is thought to have died a martyr’s death. Why would they die for a known lie? They had nothing to gain by making up this new religion.

·        Expected Testimony—through reason and science we know that God exists and created us for a purpose (covered in earlier sessions); the OT teaches the same and it can be considered reliable and the OT predicts the Messiah would come; the prophetic details of that Messiah in the OT are pinpoint accurate in what we see of Jesus in the NT.

·        Extra-Biblical Testimony—we have 10 ancient non-Christian sources confirming the NT storyline and when you compile their work you get a story congruent with the NT.

We are able to show through these evidences that the NT is historically reliable. Therefore:

1)      It is fact, not fiction

2)      If it says Jesus said it, then Jesus really said it.

3)      If it says Jesus did it, then Jesus really did it.

Next we will move into evidence for the resurrection (many of you got a taste for that in the “Case for Easter” simulcast), who Jesus is, what he taught about the Bible and what that means for us.

 

My “bribe” from last week still stands. J

Recap of 11th & 12th Grade DGroup 3/30/14

I still encourage everyone to go see "God's Not Dead" before it leaves theaters. If you can tell me what arguments Josh uses for the existence of God that we have studied in the 11^th and 12^th grade DGroups and bring me your ticket stub, I will give you a $5 gift card to the place of your choice! 

Don’t forget to invite your friends (skeptics, agnostic, atheist, believer) to this Sunday night’s special simulcast The Case for Easter with Lee Strobel. You will learn historical evidence and proof of Jesus’ resurrection—without which our faith is pointless. The presenters will examine medical evidence, the evidence of the missing body and the evidence of appearances. You will also most likely learn about the “minimal facts” argument for the resurrection. This is evidence that is so good that even skeptical scholars are convinced by it. 1) Jesus was killed by crucifixion 2) Jesus’ disciples believed that he rose and appeared to them. 3) The conversion of the church persecutor Paul 4) The conversion of the skeptic James, Jesus’ half-brother 5) Jesus’ tomb was empty.

This week in DGroups we talked about the reliability and accuracy of the New Testament (NT).

Remember that the NT is 27 separate writings written on scrolls by 9 different writers over a 20-50 year period. We have none of the original documents. We have copies of originals called manuscripts. But that is not a problem. All ancient literature is reconstructed into its original by comparing surviving manuscripts. The NT blows other ancient literature away in this regard. We have MORE manuscripts, EARLIER manuscripts and more abundantly SUPPORTED manuscripts than other writings of antiquity.

Here is a "RECIPE" for evidence for confidence in the NT:

R-Reliable reconstruction (when we compare all the copies we have extremely reliable reconstruction)

E-Early manuscripts (copies were written soon after the originals--25 years, next closest ancient text was 500 years.)

C-Copious copies (5,300 Greek manuscripts, 10,000 Latin manuscripts of entire NT and 9,300 portions of the NT = over 24,000 manuscripts.)

I-Independent non-Christian writers affirm it (10 known non-Christian writers mention Jesus within 150 years of his death. Including the greatest Jewish historian Josephus.)

P-Powerful percentages (of accuracy compared to other ancient texts; 99.5% accurate; .05% in question does not affect doctrine.)

E-Erroneous errors  (the "errors" sited are multiplied by the number of manuscripts so the number of "errors" are inflated and are just grammatical variants.)

S-Supported manuscripts (the early church fathers quoted from the NT so many times in their second and third centuries writings that you could read most of the NT just from their quotations.)

We also know that we have tons of eyewitness accounts in the NT and Luke himself records 84 facts in the last 16 chapters of Acts that have been confirmed by historical and archeological research. Overall 140+ eyewitness details and citing of at least 30 historical figures in the NT attest to its accuracy. The testimony we have is early, eyewitness and at times embarrassing (meaning, the writers include stuff they would not have made up because it’s embarrassing to themselves.)

So when people say “The Bible is full of errors because it’s been copied so many times” you can say with confidence that their statement is false and share with them the truth.

“There is no body of ancient literature in the world which enjoys such a wealth of good textual attestation as the New Testament.” F.F. Bruce, Distinguished Scholar on the life of Paul, former President of the Society for Old Testament Study as well as the Society for New Testament Study.

Finally, here is the post with the audio from the March 12th Wednesday Night Youth.

Enjoy!!

Youth parents and students have a unique opportunity this week—and maybe this week only. There is a movie in theaters that I highly encourage you to attend. It’s recommended for ages 12 and up. It’s called “God’s Not Dead.” You can read all about it at their website. But one of the many reasons I encourage you to see it, in the theaters, is because you will see a college freshman use apologetics, what we’ve been studying in D Groups, in his defense of God’s existence before his atheist philosophy professor and the entire class. He will use many of the arguments we have been, and will be, studying this semester. You will be encouraged and emboldened. Please see this movie.

 The character “Josh” explores the cosmological argument (the beginning of the universe), objective truth, logical fallacies and the moral law which we discussed this week.

 We are now entering our fourth key evidence for the existence of the theistic God. We’ve explored the beginning of the universe (from which we learned that God is self-existent, timeless, non-spatial, immaterial, infinite, powerful and personal), the design of the universe and life (from which we learned that God is supremely intelligent and purposeful) and now we are exploring the moral law (from which we will learn that he is absolutely morally pure and unchangeable).

 This is how the Moral Law is stated:

1.      Every law has a law-giver.

2.      There is an objective Moral Law.

3.      Therefore, there is a Moral Law-giver.

The Moral law is self-evident and universal.

We explored how without an objective moral standard that life is meaningless and there’s nothing absolutely right or wrong. Everything is a matter of opinion/personal preference. We discussed how without the moral law there’s no difference between the behavior of Mother Teresa and Hitler. Atheists get themselves in a bind when they claim certain rights and causes. Without the Moral Law there is no moral ground from which they can argue. There’s nothing objective grounding right and wrong, for and against. People suppress the moral law in order to justify what they want to do. “…while (atheists) may believe in an objective right and wrong, they have no way to justify such a belief (unless they admit a Moral Law Giver, at which point they cease being atheists).”

 The type of God which we’ve shown to exist is what is called a theistic God and that God is consistent with the God of the Bible. We’ve used natural or general revelation to discover him—not the Bible. Of the major world religions only theistic religions can be true and only one of those can be true. It makes sense that the God we’ve described would choose to communicate further with us, in addition to creation and conscience. How? That turns us to examining the books of the theistic religions and deciding whose is really God’s message which he alone can authenticate. One way he could do that is through miracles.

 A miracle is defined in our text as a special act of God that interrupts the normal course of events. A miracle is an act of God to confirm the word of God through a messenger of God. We defined six different kinds of unusual events--only one of which is a miracle (anomalies, magic, psychosomatic, satanic signs, providence and miracles). Criteria for miracles are instantaneous power, intelligent design and morality. There are 250 occasions of miracles in the Bible most of which occur during three distinct time periods (lifetimes of Moses, Elijah and Elisha and Jesus and the apostles). These are the times God was confirming new truth (revelation) and new messengers with that truth.

Next we will begin exploring if God has used miracles to confirm one of the three major theistic religions.

Don’t forget to see the movie. If you want more resources other than on the movie’s website, you can also see www.ratiochristi.org/gnd.

(All this information is taken from “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist” by Norman Geisler and Frank Turek.)

 Recap of 11th & 12th Grade DGroup 3/9/14

In our study of “I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist” we are into the third of the twelve point outline. We have covered 1) that truth about reality is knowable and 2) that the opposite of true is false.

We are now in 3) it is true that the theistic God exists and that is evidenced by three major arguments. We have covered the Cosmological Argument (the beginning of the universe) and are now discussing the Teleological Argument/Anthropic Principle which covers the design of the universe and the design of life. We discussed that by simply observing our world, we see evidence for design. Every design had a designer. The universe has a highly complex design. In fact, the universe is tuned just so to support life on Earth. Some of the “universal constants” at work are so precise that they defy a chance explanation: 1) oxygen level 2) atmospheric transparency 3) moon-earth gravitational interaction 4) carbon dioxide level 5) gravity. These point to the universe having a designer.

We then talked about the two types of causes (natural and intelligent) and whether or not they could create first life. We learned that Darwinists, Atheists, Humanists, Materialists and Natural Evolutionists all believe that life itself is a product of mindless natural laws. They claim that a one-celled amoeba came together by spontaneous generation and that all biological life evolved from that without intelligent guidance. Yet, with the discovery of DNA, we further see the complexity of life and the specific messaging found in genetic coding. We discussed the Principle of Uniformity stating that causes in the past were like the causes we observe today. Yet spontaneous generation of life has never been observed.

Here are two very important quotes to remember from the book:

“The creation-evolution debate is not about religion versus science or the Bible versus science—it’s about good science versus bad science. Likewise, it’s not about faith versus reason—it’s aboutreasonable faith versus unreasonable faith.”

We also learned that “chance” is not a cause. “Chance is a word that we use to describe mathematical possibilities. It has no power of its own. Chance is nothing…We shouldn’t allow atheists to cover their ignorance with the word “chance.” “Chance” is just another example of the bad science practiced by Darwinists.”
