Did Jesus really claim to be God in the flesh?

Published by admin under Jesus Christ

Yes. This little compilation of texts from the Bible is not meant to be exhaustive. There are many more. However, we did want to show how overwhelming the evidence is regarding Jesus’ claims to deity. Continue Reading »

Harmony of the Resurrection Accounts

Published by admin under Jesus Christ

STONE ROLLED AWAY. (1) There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

How Can Jesus be the Only Way to God?

Published by admin under Jesus Christ

It may seem unfair, unjust, or even arrogant for Christians to say that Jesus is the only way that a person can have a relationship with God. These misconceptions, however, can be cleared up by coming to a clear understanding of the issue. After we do this, we will look at some objections to this claim.

Why Just Jesus?

If you ever want to drive to the top of Mount Haleakala in Maui, Hawaii, there is only one road that will get you there. Route 378 is the only way to the top of the mountain, but once you have made the long and winding ride, the view from the top is worth the effort. Some might even describe the views, especially at sunrise, as heavenly.

Critical Evidence for the Deity of Christ

Published by admin under Jesus Christ

New Testament scholar Ben Witherington lists thirteen established features of the historical Jesus which even most critical biblical scholars accept. [1] Unfortunately for the critics who do not believe that Jesus understood Himself to be God, from these thirteen facts alone it can be clearly demonstrated that Jesus did indeed believe that He was God. From there it can then be established, based on the authority of Jesus, that the Bible is not only trustworthy, but also divinely inspired. I am simply going to show, on the basis of nine of these facts, that Jesus believed and claimed that He was God, even according to some of the most skeptical standards of investigation.

Big Bang or Big Bust?

Published by admin under For skeptics

Is it pseudo-science to claim that scientific evidence demonstrates the existence of God? Does science give good reasons to believe that God exists? The only way to answer this question is to examine the evidence. Too often people are willing to use science to criticize religion, but then are unwilling to honestly consider an attempt to use science to give evidence for religion. Such a double standard is simply inconsistent. We must give up any a priori presuppositions that science can have nothing to do with religious faith (other than "disprove" it), and let the evidence speak for itself.
