Discernment or Deception with Eric Barger pt 1

[ebart32]

To those who disavow the bodily resurrection of Jesus. How many eye witnesses do you need? We Bible-believers have 552.

It’s easy to try marginalizing the resurrection with rhetoric. Dissing it helps in trying to ignore God. Many more learned than the doubters that have posted below here have chosen to examine the facts instead of simply mocking the idea that there just might be a supernatural God who is beyond their test tubes and logic. For example…see next two posts.

“I know of no fact in the history of mankind which is proven by better and fuller evidence of every sort to the understanding to the fair inquirer than the great sign which God has given us that Christ died and rose again.”

Thomas Arnold

Chair of Modern History, Oxford University from "The History of Rome" (1842)

“I claim to be an historian. My approach to Classics is historical. And I tell you that the evidence for the life, the death, and the resurrection of Christ is better authenticated than most of the facts of ancient history . . .”

E. M. Blaiklock

Professor of Classics

Auckland University

@torontoBluejays87 Who's beaten? I just simply choose to believe the Bible. You might too if you ever decided to examine the overwhelming corroboration of fulfilled Bible prophecy. It is tragic that so many have decided to accept the hypotheses of men instead of the wisdom of God - even though God's Word shouts its confirmation through fulfilled prophecy.

[ebart32]

Sadder yet is how many who claim to be Christians have decided to align with theories, such as evolution, rather than with the Bible. So many do so for one reason - the want to accepted by men. Again, I choose God. Its an easy choice once you examine the evidence.

What is with religious nuts writing in capitol letters? What are you 10 years old? You are only discouraging people to believe what you believe because you are making yourself look like such an idiot.

[RUKEAL]

@torontoBluejays87 - So accordingly - NOW I'M A RELIGIOUS NUT, but now I'm not???!!! What difference does it really make whether one TYPES IN CAPITALS or not???

[torontoBluejays87]

@RUKEAL Well if you take a look down the comment section, you will see what I mean. Look at all the messages THAT LOOK LIKE THIS, read the content of said comments and I think you will see my point. If you think that Jesus was born of a virgin or resurrected from the dead, then I am sorry but you are a bit of a nut. Those things don't happen in our universe, and they never will.

@torontoBluejays87

I would say if you think Matter and energy can form on their own or that you can have great complex design from exploshions then my dear you are the nut

[torontoBluejays87]

@JessaMesss Well the truth is, the most intelligent theoretical physicists have not a clue about what happened before the big bang. There is no conclusively proved theory to suggest that there was "nothing" before the big bang. If you think complexity like "God" just sort of sprang into being out of nothing, then no, you my friend are the nut. Don't give me the eternal argument either, it's getting dated. Why not save a step and say "why isn't the universe/multiverse eternal?" as Carl Sagan said

[JessaMesss]

@torontoBluejays87

you either believe in the beggging God which was for ever, or you beilieve in the begging matter and energy was forever, of you think there was nothing and magicaly it made all we see, non the less bothe sides takes faith to believe, personaly I dont have enough faith to beleive energy and matter are inttelegen enough to create such complexity with out some one inttelegent directing it, you should learn to think for your self

[torontoBluejays87]

@JessaMesss I go where the evidence is when I want to talk about what we know about the cosmos and our place in it. Faith is the complete opposite of that. Your options may not be the only way the universe sprang into existence. In fact, there are many new theories coming out of theoretical physics that suggest that nothing doesn't actually exist but that particles are constantly springing into and out of existence. I am thinking for myself. You christians like to insult when you've been beaten.

Does anyone know what happened to Brian Flynn of One Truth Ministries? He used to be a guest on Olive Tree Ministriy radio.

[JesusLorloves]

WELL I SAY HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH THER IS ONLY ONE WAY THATS JESUS THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD AMEN JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE AMEN SO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO HIM AND ONLY HIM HE IS THE BEST GOD BLESS ALL AMEN

[daveme7]

I somewhat think now would be the time to readthe bible e ver more than ever and memorize the scriptures. Saying this-yes I can see the end times coming soon. Now, this does not mean it wil happen-my error-my sin is saying this when we should have been tending to the master and I know I always fall short in living the bible-putting it into us. There might be a time the only bible we have is what we memorized.

[sinisterskills17]

well I do agree that christianity has a lot of different sects nowadays but if you give yourself to Jesus you should be okay, but for those who have no experience of the bible can be lost when it comes to looking for a church

[TheHeroOfChrist]

Christianity has thousands of religions. They're called denominations and sects. Who can discern which, if any, practice the Way?

[miss3v3lyn]

PUNY MAN!! HOW CAN PEOPLE CLAIM TO DISCERN ANYTHING WHEN THEY CANNOT DISCERN THE TRUTH THAT GOD IS THE SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN? ARE WE BEING HYPOCRITES, OR PLAIN BLIND GUIDES LEADING THE BLIND??

[miss3v3lyn]

PUNY MAN!! HOW CAN PEOPLE CLAIM TO DISCERN ANYTHING WHEN THEY CANNOT DISCERN THE TRUTH THAT GOD IS THE SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN? ARE WE BEING HYPOCRITES?

[miss3v3lyn]

WE LIKE TO TALK ABOUT DISCERNMENT, BUT WE ARE AS BLIND AS A MOLE WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY ACHIEVED IN HIS PLAN FOR ALL MANKIND,RECONCILIATION!! WE FAIL TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND THAT NO EFFORT ON THE PART OF PUNY MAN CAN IMPROVE ON WHAT GOD HAS PURPOSED TO DO.When God created the UNIVERSE and ALL that is in it, He did not consult with man in His divine plan but puny man( the clay), in his vanity, strives to improve on God's universal plan and what He has already finished! How sad!!!
