Resurrection – Part 2
1.2 Objections to concepts of a resurrection 1) The Christian faith is not unique in its claim to be the originator of a resurrection concept. Greek mythology and folklore record such ideas of a resurrection phenomenon. Therefore, Christianity has borrowed from resurrection stories elsewhere and has incorporated such ideas into their faith to giveContinue reading “Resurrection – Part 2”
The Resurrection – Part 1
1.1 Resurrection- Meaning A. Definition from the Greek The word resurrection comes from the Greek (anastasis) meaning “A standing up” and has come to be known as “a rising from the dead”.

Only One Jesus
There is only One Jesus and the words spoken by Jesus Christ about himself are unique and incomparable among religious leaders of the world’s religions: 1.1 Jesus claimed that he existed before he was ever born. 1) John 6:62 “Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?”Continue reading “Only One Jesus”
The Origin of Scripture
From previous articles we have addressed the topics of the “Reliability of Scripture” (Part 1 O.T. and Part 2 N.T.) and further investigated the development of the New Testament Canon of Scripture. In this article we will take a look at the “Origin” of Scripture. Is it simply the writings of men, the writings ofContinue reading “The Origin of Scripture”

Practically, however, a collection of scriptures (no less than 22 of the 27 books)Continue reading “The New Testament Canon of Scripture”
The Reliability of Scripture- Part 2
In this second part of the topic “The Reliability of Scripture” we entertain the question “What about the New Testament?” is it reliable as the Word of God or is it simply a collection of writings portraying the opinions of fallible Jewish men who had their own biases to contend with. Most of the NewContinue reading “The Reliability of Scripture- Part 2”
The Reliability of Scripture – Part 1
Many people today are unsure about the reliability of scripture. Some treat the Bible as the writings of fallible men; others as the inerrant Word of God containing no human scribal errors. Many suggest it is an authority of some type for today but perhaps there is much bias in the writings since they haveContinue reading “The Reliability of Scripture – Part 1”
Christianity is Unique Among World Religions
If we allow the Bible to define what true Christianity is all about we will conclude that the Christian faith is indeed unique among world religions. We are making a distinction here between Christendom (the secular view of the Christianity) and Christianity (the biblical view of the work and worth of Christ). 1) InContinue reading “Christianity is Unique Among World Religions”
Christianity Provides a Coherent, Cohesive World View
All World Views presented by religion and humanists must deal with the following four elements: 1) Origin of Life 2) Meaning of Life 3) Morality in Life 4) Destiny of Life Any worldview, if it is to be at all sensible, must present these four elements as coherent and cohesive.
