All the Holy Spirit does is change my heart, change my disposition toward the evidence that is already there. I think that God Himself has planted within the Scriptures an internal consistency that bears witness that this is His Word. Teaching Series. Conference Messages. Tabletalk Magazine.

In this excerpt from their new book, geologist Gregg Davidson and theologian Ken Turner shine a spotlight on Genesis One as theologically rich literature first and foremost. When Sy Garte started studying science he found some things that started him wondering about the idea that science can answer every question. His wondering opened the doorway that eventually led to Jesus Christ. I can think of five common objections that I have heard over the years: The Bible is full of contradictions and discrepancies.
The Bible was written by ancient and primitive people, and has no value to modern people anymore. Its descriptions of nature and natural history are hopelessly at odds with science The Bible is not at odds with science in its descriptions of nature and natural history. It was written by ancient and primitive people, and has no value to modern people anymore The Bible was written by ancient people, to be sure.

Archaeologists, though, have been able to corroborate elements of the New Testament story of Jesus. While some disputed the existence of ancient Nazareth, his biblical childhood home town, archaeologists have unearthed a rock-hewn courtyard house along with tombs and a cistern.
They have also found physical evidence of Roman crucifixions such as that of Jesus described in the New Testament. The most detailed record of the life and death of Jesus comes from the four Gospels and other New Testament writings. Within a few decades of his lifetime, Jesus was mentioned by Jewish and Roman historians in passages that corroborate portions of the New Testament that describe the life and death of Jesus.
Thought to have been born a few years after the crucifixion of Jesus around 37 A. Mykytiuk agrees with most scholars that Christian scribes modified portions of the passage but did not insert it wholesale into the text. Genesis The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to Him shall be the obedience of the people.
It is asserted that this passage refers to Muhammad, since "Judah" comes from a Hebrew verb meaning "to praise," the same meaning for the Arabic name Muhammad. But the context of Genesis show that Shiloh was to be born among the descendants of Judah.
Muhammad, however, came from the Arabian tribe of the Quraish. Moreover, the scepter departed from Judah more than years before Muhammad was born. Deuteronomy , The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear, I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. Muslims assert that the prophet predicted in Deuteronomy is Muhammad.
Since "from your midst" does not appear in either the ancient Greek Old Testament the Septuagint or the Samaritan Pentateuch, the original text must state the prophet would come from the relatives of the Israelites, the descendants of Ishmael, the Arabs.
However, there is earlier ancient Hebrew manuscript evidence supporting the customary reading. In addition, "brethren" naturally and commonly refers to one's closest relative e. It is said that Muhammad was like Moses in many points. Both were brought up in their enemies' houses, appeared among idolaters, were at first rejected by their own people and afterward accepted by them, each gave a law, fled from their enemies Moses to Midian, Muhammad to Medina, a name of a similar meaning , marched to battle against their enemies, wrought miracles, and enabled their followers to conquer Palestine.
These correlation's prove nothing. God Himself has explained in the Gospels that this prophecy referred to Christ, not to Muhammad. Compare Deuteronomy , "Him you shall hear," with Matthew ,". This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!
