Really Specific Prophecy Jesus Fulfilled on the Cross! Amazing! Sep 10, 2019

Show notes

A detailed description of the crucifixion of Jesus was written hundreds of years before it happened! Let's analyze this Old Testament passage and respond to objections from an atheist and a Jewish Rabbi. Does Psalm 22 really support the idea that God inspired the Bible and planned ahead of time for Jesus to die for us? Can it stand under careful examination and scrutiny from contrary sources? I think the answer is yes. Allow me to make my case.
Here's that REALLY good video I mentioned where Dr. Michael Brown goes into even more detail on the "pierced" controversy:

Did Jesus Die on a Cross or a Stake? Here's the Evidence. Sep 03, 2019

Show notes

I've compiled historical evidence to respond to Jehovah's Witness claims that Jesus died on a "torture stake". We will look at the Greek word "stauros" and it's meaning, ancient images of the cross, historical documentation about the shape of Jesus' cross and give some time to examine how the Watchtower abuses sources to teach false things. Christianity does not stand or fall on the shape of the cross but it seems to me that the Watchtower does, and in this case, it falls. We only need a fraction of people to actually offer any financial support for this ministry. Please enjoy this content with NO obligation to ever give!

What EXACTLY Is the Unforgivable Sin? The Mark Series pt 12 Sep 01, 2019

Show notes

The blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is probably not what you're thinking of. This is a careful study of the unforgivable sin and it will seek to answer a bunch of specific questions about the topic. What is it? Have you committed it? Is it possible for a believer to commit it? Can someone repent after they have done it? Should Christians try to label people with this sin? I hope that this study will not only give you good information but also give you good counsel on how to deal with this difficult and important issue. This ministry is made possible by those who support online.

Amazing Study! How to Find Jesus in the OT pt 23 Aug 18, 2019

Show notes

Here’s how Psalm 16 predicts Jesus’ resurrection… and more. This Psalm was quoted by both Peter and Paul in the New Testament as speaking prophetically of the resurrection of Christ. It turns out that there is some support for this sort of view in ancient rabbinic writings as well!

Here’s the whole “Jesus in the Old Testament” playlist:

SHORTISH Live Stream Today! A Bit of Q & A Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

Time Stamps Here (and in 1st comment for mobile users) Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: ~ 1. 3:26 A lot of people think the Bible is not clear about divorce and remarriage. Are there some “gray areas”? ~ 2. 6:20 My fellowship did a salvation prayer which didn’t involve any confessing or repenting, just believing. Does this mean those who prayed the prayer were not really saved? ~ 3. 11:21 Can you explain your non-Calvinist interpretation of Isaiah 63: 17? ~ 4. 15:07 What does it mean to “pray in the Spirit”? My pastor said it means praying in tongues, and he said we can all pray in tongues. Thoughts? ~ 5. 17:47 Does Hebrews 12: 2 teach “irresistible grace”? ~ 6. 20:53 What is your opinion on birth control used within a marriage relationship? ~ 7. 23:08 In Matthew 25, concerning the 10 virgins, my teachers have said the oil represents the Holy Spirit – but how can you run out or get more of the Holy Spirit (especially if you’re not saved)? ~ 8. 24:12 I work with a non-profit whose core value is hearing God’s voice, and everything we do must be based on a specific “word from the Lord”. I’m struggling with understanding how God speaks to us, and whether or not this practice is biblical. ~ 9. 28:48 Do you have any opinions on Preterism, and will you ever do a study on eschatology? ~ 10. 29:51 If our life is in our breath, can’t we justify abortion, since babies in the womb don’t breathe air? ~ 11. 33:20 Where was Jesus seated before He was at the right hand of the Father? I’m trying to envision this in my head. I'll be doing a shorter than normal live stream today and taking some of your questions from the live chat. Also, there will be no live stream on 8/20 and 8/27 (the next two weeks). Other than that I have many wonderful and important topics coming up and I hope you find them really helpful in your walk and your witnessing.

Jesus, the Crowds and the Twelve: The Mark Series part 11 (3:7-19) Aug 11, 2019

Show notes

Why did Jesus have 12 apostles? Why did Jesus sometimes ignore crowds or even purposely diminish them? What is it that these "seekers" didn't understand? We'll cover this as well as a survey of each of the 12 apostles trying to see what we can learn from them individually. Oh yeah, and some great apologetics stuff too!

How Jesus Used Sabbath Controversies to Teach Us Stuff: The Mark Series part 10 (2:23-3:6) Aug 04, 2019

Show notes

Two controversies reveal what was wrong with the Pharisees' and what might be wrong with us. Covering Mark 2:23-3:6 Jesus corrects the Pharisees for adding their traditions to God's commands as well as for missing out on the heart of God's commands. We'll look at how Jesus' claim that "the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath" is both a claim to deity and a claim to have the right to explain the meaning of the Old Testament law. There's also an apologetics moment today where we deal with a supposed Bible contradiction where some say Jesus was simply wrong about the Old Testament. Here is the playlist to the whole Mark series (updated weekly until it is finished) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuGenHwUdeiQ5M-uj5XW4sF Just a quick note related to the Sabbath. I do not think Christians are called to be under the Law and we do not have the same obligation to observe the Sabbath that they did at the time of the events of Mark chapter 2. I have teaching content on how to view the Law and how we can read and learn from it in the light of Christ here. (2 video playlist) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoGKJEENngc&list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuBirH5Rw3IhJinWrcTufY6 I also have a series dealing with the Hebrew Roots Movement (who teach that we should all obey the Law of Moses today) here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuOD_BytSxbejzCnGPOcgFw (4 video playlist) If you love this ministry and want to partner with me in support please click here (though all my content is free and you are under NO obligation to give). https://biblethinker.org/index.php/donate If you want to get your own BibleThinker mug, you can click here to go to a web site owned by a potter who is a fan of the ministry and has made special mugs available. https://www.zockollpottery.com/product-page/bible-thinker-mug
