3. Does God exist? Why does evil exist?
Did Jesus really rise again?
Can we trust the Bible?
How can we know truth?
What about the other religions?
What about evolution?
7. Rob Bell
“...it wasn't until the 300s that what we
know as the sixty-six books of the Bible
were actually agreed upon as the 'Bible.'
is is part of the problem with
continually insisting that one of the
absolutes of the Christian faith must be a
belief that 'Scripture alone' is our guide.
It sounds nice, but it is not true...When
people say that all we need is the Bible, it is
simply not true.”
8. Rob Bell
“So this reality, this forgiveness, this
reconciliation, is true for
everybody. Paul insisted that when
Jesus died on the cross he was
reconciling ‘all things, in heaven and
on earth, to God. is reality then
isn’t something we make true about
ourselves by doing something. It is
already true. Our choice is to live in
this new reality or cling to a reality
of our own making.quot;
9. Brian McLaren
“I don't think we've got the gospel right yet.
What does it mean to be 'saved'?.... I don't think
the liberals have it right. But I don't think we
have it right either. None of us has arrived at
orthodoxy.”
11. Richard Dawkins
“I think we're in the same
position the gay movement was
in a few decades ago. ere was
a need for people to come out.
e more people who came
out, the more people had the
courage to come out. I think
that's the case with atheists.
ey are more numerous than
anybody realizes.quot;
13. Richard Dawkins
quot;How much do we regard
children as being the property of
their parents? It's one thing to
say people should be free to
believe whatever they like, but
should they be free to impose
their beliefs on their children? Is
there something to be said for
society stepping in? What
about bringing up children to
believe manifest falsehoods?quot;
14. Christopher Hitchens
“Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's
the surrender of reason, it's the
surrender of the only thing that makes
us different from other mammals. It's
our need to believe, and to surrender
our skepticism and our reason, our
yearning to discard that and put all our
trust or faith in someone or something,
that is the sinister thing to me. Of all
the supposed virtues, faith must be the
most overrated.”
18. Biblical Worldview
De ned as believing that:
- Absolute moral truths exists
- Such truths are de ned by the Bible
- Jesus Christ lived a sinless life
- God is the all-powerful and all-knowing Creator of the
universe and He stills rules it today
- Salvation is a gi from God and cannot be earned
- Satan is real
- A Christian has a responsibility to share their faith in
Christ with other people
- e Bible is accurate in all of its teachings.
21. 1 Peter 3:15
“ but in your hearts honor Christ the
Lord as holy, always being prepared to
make a defense to anyone who asks you
for a reason for the hope that is in you;
yet do it with gentleness and respect,”
22. 2 Corinthians 10:5
“ We destroy arguments and every lo y
opinion raised against the knowledge of
God, and take every thought captive to
obey Christ...”
32. Colossians 2:8
“See to it that no one takes you captive by
philosophy and empty deceit, according to
human tradition, according to the
elemental spirits of the world, and not
according to Christ.”
33. Philippians 1:9-10
“And it is my prayer that your love may abound
more and more, with knowledge and all
discernment, so that you may approve what is
excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the
day of Christ...”
34. Ma hew 22:37
