Hacks For Life with Galon Jones

Galon & Scott are back to wrap up this series. They believe they've provided enough evidence for a reasonable person to accept that Jesus is historical. This is intended to encourage us and equip us for those who are genuinely seeking Jesus.

Galon & Scott are back with part 7 of this series. There are people who doubt that Jesus existed. They attempt to compare Jesus to other mythological gods. We should put that the rest since none of those gods are really valid. There is evidence that Jesus' existence is historical.

Galon& Scott are back with part 6 of this series. Scott goes down the list, comparing Jesus to "dying and rising gods". First of all, before Jesus, Scott doesn't believe there is such a thing as dying and rising gods in history.

Galon& Scott are back with part 5 of this series. Scott catches us up with the chats prior. He also takes us down the path of what atheists say about the subject to Jesus. Like Jesus said in John 3, "...Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil."

Part 4 of our conversation, on whether Jesus actually lived on this planet. A very vocal minority question this. Most are vocal, internet atheists. If you talk with them, some contend that Jesus was an invention of the Roman government in order to pacify the slave nation of Israel and get them on board to be peaceful and treat Rome well.

It seems almost absurd to have this conversation, but that doesn't mean it isn't important to engage with a skeptic or unbeliever. If you have a child who is challenged, it is important to be able to speak to this.

We continue this new series--how prophecy supports the Bible. Skeptics ask, "How do we know this was written hundreds of year before...and didn't read prophecy and make the story up?" That is answered by eyewitness accounts and the ways the documents are tested for authenticity (covered in our podcasts before). For those who are open-minded, this is powerful evidence for the Bible. T...

We start a new series--how prophecy supports the Bible. Scott talks about the 300 prophecies of the Bible that are rather convincing and supportive.

We've been talking about some of the evidence uncovered that supports some of the stories of Exodus, which includes The Exodus. On part 6 of this conversation, Scott discusses the Ipuwer Papyrus...an ancient Egyptian sage known only by the Papyrus that was found.

Part 4 of the conversation. Skeptics will say there's no evidence that The Exodus happened. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Part 3 of the conversation. Skeptics say the Bible is wrong, the archeology of Jericho proves it. Galon and Scott think otherwise.

Part 2 of the conversation of how Archeology supports the Bible. Only about 2% of the Ancient World has been excavated. Skeptics will say there's no evidence of the Exodus. With 98% left, there's plenty of evidence left to be discovered. Plus, archeology isn't the only thing needed to validate the Bible.

Skeptics don't believe there's no evidence for major events of the Bible. There's actually quite a bit of evidence that's in agreement with the Bible. Archeology doesn't necessarily prove the validity of the Bible, but it supports it. The Biblical text is a reliable document.

Galon and Scott continue their discussion on the historical reliability of the Bible. They talk about the criteria of authenticity...the ways scholars can approach the documents and be able to trust that they were intended to convey history--or fiction. Skeptics will say that the New Testament was written as fiction. Are there characteristics in the text that would lead us to believe that the set...

Galon and Scott continue their discussion on the historical reliability of the Bible. Today's podcast concerns errors of the ancient texts of the Bible. An error is an inconsistency in the New Testament. The errors cited in the ancient texts are primarily minor in nature (not affecting any core beliefs of Christianity). The three most common variants are: word order, omission of a word or spelling...

Galon and Scott continue their discussion on the historical reliability of the Bible.  Nobody questions the reliability of the works of Plato or Aristotle. Why is it that these other authors/ancient texts are generally accepted...and the Bible is not?

Galon and Scott are exploring whether the Bible may be God's communication to us. Do we think that this book that we have is historically reliable? People have a wide range of understandings about the Bible and the different versions. We don't have the original documents (autographs) themselves. We do have copies, however. What do you believe?

We believe the Gospels were written early...and the authors were who were indicated when you open the New Testament. You've got early, eyewitness testimony that's historically accurate.

Many believe the documents of the Bible were written by various authors, ranging from a "coordinated plot by the Catholic Church to create a false set of documents about a person who didn't exist (Jesus) to control people"...to "these are authentic documents written by eyewitnesses to real historic events". Do we have to be certain who the authors are of these documents to believe they're real? Jo...

Galon & Scott continue this series. Can we rely on ancient cultures having accurate memories? Skeptics and liberal scholars will say New Testament documents are reliable. That case erodes if you can prove they were written earlier. Some documents of the New Testament point to prophecies of future events. Scott builds a case for his belief that the NT documents were written earlier. Join the co...

Galon & Scott continue this series. The New Testament documents were written early, instead of 50-60 years after the event. New evidence keeps coming to light that supports this. This would mean that the documents were written by eyewitnesses to the events...adding to the credibility of those documents.

Galon & Scott start a new series. Today, scholars believe some of the documents in the New Testament were written later. But, Scott explains why he believes they were written earlier. He thinks we should trust the Bible and believe it. It isn't folklore like many believe. It should be trusted, reliable and a worthy set of documents.
