mid-week apologetics booster (3-28-2024)

Good morning friends, Quote of the week: Training is essential in law enforcement because officers deploy on a regular basis. If we could handle every call over the phone without leaving the station, none of us would need to exercise or train tactically. You don’t have to train if you have no intention of deploying. The same is true for us as Christians. Think about that for a minute. Most of us see our church buildings as places to gather on Sunday; seldom do we think of them as places to train in preparation for deployment. – J. Warner Wallace Now, here are your weekly links:

Responding to the Bart Ehrman/Bauer Thesis THINKAPOLOGETICS.COM – we still have the skeptic community preaching that the Jesus story is the result of some sort of religious syncretism. In other words, supposedly there is nothing original about the Jesus story! Secondly, we have people like Bart Ehrman writing books like Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew which causes great confusion in the minds of many people.: https://chab123.wordpress.com/2019/01/30/responding-to-the-bart-ehrman-bauer-thesis/

Surprise: Jesus’s healings, exorcisms virtually undisputable – An absolutely amazing feature in recent critical New Testament thought is the significant alteration that has developed regarding the scholarly attitude concerning [Jesus’ miracles]. Due to the evidential application of historical considerations to the Gospels … critical scholars virtually across the scholarly spectrum acknowledge that Jesus was a healer and an exorcist.: https://www.christianpost.com/voices/surprise-jesuss-healings-exorcisms-virtually-undisputable.html

Infant Baptism – The Bible is silent on infant baptism, or pedobaptism. There is no record of a baby being baptized in the New Testament. An infant cannot repent and place his or her faith in Christ. A newborn cannot understand the gospel and consciously decide to obey and submit to Jesus.: https://www.facebook.com/reel/231667276648416

In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself ! Let this Christ, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him. Mark 15:31-32 Blessings to you all
