Evidence 4 Faith

If Earth is only thousands of years old, how can we see the light of stars from a distant galaxy, 13 billion light years away? Doesn’t that imply that those stars must be at least that old for their light to have time to reach the Earth? Does this prove that the earth is really billions of years old? Some scientists have proposed theories as to how this could be possible with a young earth, and in...

In all three Synoptic Gospels, we read of the conversation between Jesus and the wealthy young man who is asking Him what he must do to gain eternal life. Jesus’ reply was that the man should sell all that he owns to the poor and follow Him. Does this mean that money can buy our salvation? To follow Jesus, must we give up all wealth and commit our lives to poverty? To answer the question, Michael...

Today, we pick up where we left off after the previous lesson as we continue to use the science of logistics and statistics to determine if Genesis is a historical narrative or an allegorical or poetic text. Using information gathered by Dr. Steven Boyd and Dr. Meir Sternberg we can reveal the answer. Join us as we make this unveil this discovery. --------------------------------------------------...

Many people tend to make the assumption that the Bible didn’t come to be until the New King James Version was published 1611. Was this truly the first Bible? Can it even be trusted if it has only been in existence for a few hundred years? In today’s lesson, Michael will provide the facts that the Bible has indeed been around much longer than that. How far back does the Bible truly go? Listen now a...

Is there anyway we can know for sure if the Genesis Days were literal and not allegorical, as some people claim? Michael believes there are and that strong evidence can be found using an analysis of grammaticism and statistics. Indeed, some parts of the Bible are allegorical, and some are historic. How do we know which category the first chapters of Genesis fits under? If we consider the Ancient J...

Discovered in the 20th century in Egypt, the Gospel of Thomas has become increasingly popular, and I am often asked why this book was not included in the New Testament. Today I will share with you what the Gospel of Thomas truly is and why it was decided to not include it with our Bibles today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DONATE: https://ev...

A lot of people, even some Christians and pastors, will say that the days of Genesis and the Creation have nothing to do with the Salvation story. They think that whether one believes in a literal six twenty-four-hour-day creation or one that takes millions of years, makes no difference to the rest of the Bible. However, a six-day creation is required for the sake of the Gospel story. Watch now an...

Does God listen to the prayers of unbelievers? Or does He turn a deaf ear to them? People get this idea from John 9 when the blind man, who was healed by Jesus, is having a conversation with the Pharisees. As they are arguing, the man claims that God does not hear listen to sinners. So, does this verify that God will not listen to those that sin against Him? To find the answer, we must look back a...

Although the Bible tells us that the world was created in six days, many believe that these were not actually 24-hour time periods but rather epics, or long periods of time that were thousands or even millions of years long. Many people, even Christians, state that the book of Genesis is not to be taken literally but instead poetically. They base their claim off passages in Psalm 90:4 and 2 Peter...

A lot of people are talking about the biblical story of Daniel right now with the release of the movie “Daniel and the Fiery Furnace.” A key part of the film was when King Nebuchadnezzar issued a decree, ordering everyone to bow down and worship a golden image. In the movie, it was Daniel who was ordered to design the statue. Is that what happened in the Bible? Did Daniel indeed craft together thi...

Social media is ablaze right now over Noah’s Ark. Multiple sources are claiming that the location of Noah’s Ark has been 100% confirmed based on some recent findings. And with this recent development, I have been bombarded by people asking if this is indeed the ancient vessel that housed the animals and Noah’s family. Well, today, I will share my opinion on whether I believe this is the actual shi...

Today, Michael will be examining different objects, some that are man-made, some that are visible only under a microscope, and some that were formed in nature. What does science tell us about these things? Does science provide us with all there is to know about these objects? Or is it possible that science is limited to the information it can provide? And if science is indeed limited, could scienc...

In the Old Testament we see God’s people being ordered by God to perform what appears to be genocides against other nations. In fact, we can see similar events happening in modern Israel today. So, does God call for genocides? To answer today’s question, Michael will look at a few key factors including the context and the original language of the text. Join us as we seek the answer! --------------...

Critics will state that the Quantum Vacuum theory disproves the existence of a Creator God, but that theory still requires energy to have been present at the beginning. We also know that the universe is expanding and accelerating – if that is the case, it had to have had a starting point. Yes, the Creation story in the Bible is a miracle, but we also know that non-biased historical references have...

Some people are drawn to Christianity thinking being a Christian will somehow make their lives easier. They base their claim on the passage found in Ezekiel 34:26 where the Lord states that He will shower them with blessings. We know that God does enjoy pouring blessings over His children, so, will our lives indeed be easier if we follow Christ? In today’s episode, Michael examines the life of Pau...

How did the cosmos come into existence? To address that question, we must first determine if there is a God. Today, people often claim to believe in science and therefore, cannot believe in a God. However, the field of science can hardly declare with certainty that there is no God. But logic can be utilized to find a conclusion. As we embark on this series, we ask that you come to it with an open...

In Matthew 27, we read about tombs opening and the dead coming to life after the death and resurrection of Jesus. However, Matthew is the only of the four Gospels to record this miraculous event. So, is it likely that this event never even happened? Aren’t all the Gospels supposed to be alike? Or could the Gospels serve a different purpose? Did this miracle in Matthew have a specific meaning? List...

Why did Jesus feed the 5,000 at one time and the 4,000 at another time? Why does it seem as though this miracle happens twice? Was it simply to impress the crowds gathered there, or was Jesus offering a message through this miraculous event? Could it possibly involve Jews versus Gentiles? Tune in to find out! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DON...

As we studied last week, Herod remodeled and expanded Zerubbabel’s Temple into the largest and most elaborate temple in the surrounding area. While we don’t know exactly what the temple looked like, we can form an idea based off four sources: historical records, other architectural structures built by Herod, buildings from that same period, and the archaeological evidence that they are finding on...

Just like a sword is most effective when wielded by two hands, our marriages are strongest when husband and wife work together with God as their center. Marriage is not easy, especially in our current society, and we must work at it each day. Today, Michael uses the example of a sword to teach us important lessons to keep our marriages strong and pointed towards our Lord. -------------------------...

It would appear there is a contradiction in the Bible since in one passage it says to be still and God will fight for us, but then there is another passage where we are told to put on the “Armor of God.” So, which is true? Are we to be silent and still and let God do the work? Or are we to put on our armor and go to war? Is this truly a contradiction? To find the answer, it is important to look at...

Today, we find Jesus standing before the Jewish leaders in what appears to be a trial as He defends Himself against their claims of breaking the Sabbath and committing blasphemy. As with their traditions concerning the Law, and as we can see is recorded in Deuteronomy, a legal case must have at least two to three witnesses present during a trial. Jesus supplies five. Tune into find out who those w...

As we covered in the last lesson, Zerubbabel’s Temple, or the Second Temple as it is sometimes called, was finished in 516 BC. But after the Romans conquered Jerusalem, Herod the Great decided to completely refurbish it and enlarge it to be one of the most beautiful and largest Temples in the entire Roman Empire. Is there anything that we can find in archaeology today that supports the existence o...

Was Jesus incorrect when He was sharing the Parable of the Mustard Seed that is recorded in Matthew 13:31-32? He claims that the mustard seed is the smallest of all the seeds and that it will grow into a tree that is larger than all the plants. But though the seed is indeed quite small, it will only grow to a tree about eight feet tall. Is this an error in the Bible? Or is there a reasonable expla...

In today’s passage Jesus references four resurrections that will occur: the spiritual resurrection of lost sinners, the physical resurrection of Himself, and the final resurrections of the saved and unsaved. Have you been raised from death to life? Where will you stand in the final resurrection – with the saved or the condemned? ---------------------------------------------------------------------...
