Dr. Phil Fernandes: Answering Recent Attacks on the Jesus of the Bible In an age of uncertainty, can we still have confidence in the Jesus found in the Bible? Can we trust the New Testament text we have today? How do we know that Jesus of Nazareth was not just another myth or legend? Why aren’t the Gnostic writings in the New Testament? Why were they left out of the New Testament canon? Dr. Fernandes will respond to these recent arguments against the true Jesus of the Bible. He will argue that, contrary to the writings of Bart Ehrman and

Multimedia Presentation by Dr. Phil Fernandes Apologetics Symposium Cedar Park Church, Bothell WA September 6th, 2017 Dr. Phil Fernandes presents solid, indisputable historical evidence that Jesus of Nazareth bodily rose from the dead. Even skeptics who deny the Bible is God’s Word should embrace the fact that sufficient historical proves that Jesus rose from the dead. A person can deny Jesus’s bodily resurrection only by ignoring the wealth of historical evidence in its favor. About the Speaker: Dr. Phil Fernandes is the president of the Institute of Biblical Defense (http://instituteofbiblicaldefense.com/), which he founded in 1990 to teach Christians how to

Seminar by Dr. John Johnson Apologetics Symposium Cedar Park Church, Bothell WA September 7th 2016 The Shroud of Turin has been claimed to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ since at least the 14th Century. I have studied it as an archaeological item for over 30 years. Few people took it seriously until the intensive scientific investigations in the 20th century showed it was like a photographic negative not created by painting or scorching, linen that could be first Century mid-east weave, had pollen traced to the Mideast, remarkably similar to paintings of Jesus back to the 5th Century,

Seminar by Dr. Phil Fernandes Apologetics Symposium Cedar Park Church, Bothell WA August 3rd, 2016 In this lecture, Dr. Fernandes argues that the recent accusation that Jesus never really existed is itself a myth or fairy tale. Fernandes will show that the scholarly consensus, from both Christian historians and non-Christian historians, is that Jesus did in fact exist in the first-century AD and that He died by crucifixion. Internet atheists are losing any appearance of scholarly credibility when they claim that the early church invented Jesus by borrowing material from ancient mythology. Dr. Fernandes will refute the Jesus-myth hypothesis and

In this lecture, Dr. Fernandes will make a strong historical case for Jesus’ bodily resurrection from the dead. He will argue from core historical data, accepted by virtually all New Testament scholars today, to the reality of Christ’s bodily resurrection. Fernandes will argue that if Jesus did not bodily rise from the dead, there would be no hope for mankind—death would be victorious over man. Mankind’s only hope for deliverance rests on the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. While Fernandes uses a minimal facts case for the resurrection, he will warn his audience from falling into a

William Lane Craig (who actually is a historian, along with being a philosopher and theologian) exposes Bart Ehrman and his overt biasness against the Bible, the New Testament, and Jesus of Nazareth. Contrary to popular belief Bart Ehrman is actually not a historian.

Lee Strobel makes the case for the Resurrection of Jesus. Former legal editor for the Chicago Tribune, Lee Strobel has traveled the road from atheist to skeptic to believer. He is a world renowned author, researcher and teacher.
A response to Discovery Channel’s THE LOST TOMB OF JESUS. (produced by Avatar and Titanic director James Cameron). The same scholars who were interviewed in this documentary are interviewed here. Many of them express their dismay over how they were taken out of context to make it appear that they think the supposed lost tomb of Jesus was authentic. What explanation can be given for the empty tomb of Jesus of Nazareth? The New Testament records the first-century event: The disciples of Jesus reported that he was risen from the dead, while Roman soldiers were paid to claim his followers

The Incarnation * First some brief items on the day and year of Jesus’ birth. * Jesus as Creator, as well as the divine Memra or Word of God. OT proves the deity of the Messiah. * The Kenosis: Jesus emptied himself, NOT by removing His divine attributes (despite what BioLogos claims), but by adding human ones. He laid aside the independent exercise of His divine power, submitting to the Father’s will, for the duration of His earthly life and ministry. * Jesus had to be human to take on the same nature as the ones He died for, and

The endless dispute over who Jesus is goes on. The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is God in the flesh (John 1:1-14) but most reject what the Bible says. False prophets & cultists fall into the trap described by saint Peter in 2 Peter 3:15-16, “… even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures,
