Editor's Notes

• #2: Who I am and What I do I train YL leaders for the Brazos Valley and disciple college kids in our church, I have seen multiple kids falter in their faith because their parents tell them for years to sit in class and listen to their teachers and do what they say and they hear about evolution and quickly figure out that the two cannot work together – it’s the inescapable truth. Something is either true or it isn’t. I READ THE PRIMARY RESEARCH AND CITE EVERYTHING Don’t want to argue I don’t have time to answer a ton of emails
• #3: Great Book for Kids and dinnertime I’m going to let you in on a secret -
• #4: If you click on Answers, then Online Books, then look for “The Answers Book for Kids: Vol1, 2” Each one gives you about 20 dinnertime conversations Click on the first one – “When did time begin?”
• #5: If you click on Answers, then Online Books, then look for “The Answers Book for Kids: Vol1, 2”
• #6: There are a ton of good questions for you to go through – Did Adam and Eve have a belly button? Why don’t snakes talk? How long did it take Adam to name the animals? When did Adam and Eve rebel?
• #7: If need be, you can go directly to the website where they have the scripture lined out for you
• #10: Wisely make the most of the moment
• #11: Correct with gentleness Be consistent, prepared to give an answer, do it with respect and love, and do it with the goal, not to be right, but that they might come to Christ. Let’s remind ourselves why this is important
• #12: 1:01 Richard Dawkins – Highlights the difference Really what is the crazy thing to believe – That Jesus Died for us, or that God created the world? That is exactly the point that the atheist Richard Dawkins makes for us
• #13: If we can only believe one, just how reliable is the Bible anyway?
• #14: Heb Bib same exc for addition of vowel pointings, reading aids and open form of letters So, though their eyes may be blind to the truth, they have guarded its transmission with great accuracy The earliest Masoretic text is from 900AD… CLICK
• #15: That is 900 years after the birth of Christ That is why the dead sea scrolls were so important… CLICK Discovered in 1947 – CLICK How does that compare to other ancient texts??? CLICK
• #16: Illiad by Homer: -400 years between fragments -1800 years difference between the author and manuscript History of Thew-SIE-di-DEES and Herodotus are separated by 500y How does that compare to the New Testament?
• #17: Some of those Gk MSS you can view online including the oldest known complete bible from 325 AD the codex sinaiticus which includes the Septuagint
• #18: Let me emphasize this – NT existed for 1900y, 1500y written by hand Yet only 12-20 significant textual variations and none affect doctrine 1/1000th a part of the whole – little more than ½ page Shakespeare, around for 400y and since the invent. of print press Every one of the 37 plays has about 100 readings still in dispute that affect the meaning of the passages This is a book by which we can live and die.
• #19: So who wrote the first five books of the old testament, including Genesis? Let me give you a hint – CLICK How do we know that? Because the Bible says so.
• #21: In fact, more than 30 times… CLICK
• #22: More than 30 times in fact, the Bible tells us who wrote the first five books. The NT attributes all the books from Genesis through Deuteronomy as being the writings of Moses. To attack the Mosaic authorship of the 1st 5 books of OT is to attack the truthfulness of the rest of the Bible and Jesus Himself. For those of you that don’t want to believe the bible….
• #23: But how did Moses get so specific, particularly with geneologies? The answer is he probably had other texts from which to draw from…CLICK
• #24: (also Gen 2:4; 6:9; 10:1; 11:10; 11:27; 25:12; 25:19; 36:1; 36:9; 37:2) 11 times the Hebrew word “toledoth” is used meaning “this is the account” or these are the generations” Likewise Gen 6:9 reads like a ships log So knowing it’s reliability as God’s word, let’s look at… CLICK
• #25: … how it can speak into our lives as an authority from God Two main authorities in your life as a Christian We are going to focus today on the Bible because that is where Satan’s attack is today I think we can agree Jesus thought the Bible was a big deal
• #26: Being quizzed on resurrection by sadduccees Bible is so accurate Jesus built an argument on a verb tense I am = eimi Present Active Verb Ex 3:6 Summarized: I, God, am currently the God of Abraham – because I’m standing here with him, and I always will be, because I’m eternal Paul thought it pretty literal too…
• #27: Paul Referencing Genesis 13:15, 17:8, 22:18 all singular (seed) All in Genesis But what about believing the numbers given?? Because many of the arguments wayward Christians use is that you can’t really trust the numbering given in Genesis. Lets look at the very next verse
• #28: Paul again references Genesis (Gen 15:13; Ex 12:40) Paul obviously belieives the Bible is reliable, even when it uses numbers and dates What do you say to a Christian friend who….
• #29: What do you say to your “Christian” friend who says the bible can’t be trusted because it was written by a bunch of sheep hearders? HS inspired bible Man alone didn’t write it, but God used men and spoke through them  we see their personalities in the writings Why are we spending so much time on the bible?
• #30: Only the Bible can cut to the heart Science books, lessons and theories can’t – only God’s word THAT’S WHY WE CANT LEAVE THE BIBLE OUT OF THE DISCUSSION Jesus says in…CLICK
• #31: Jesus says: You’ll believe anybody but God. You say you follow Moses, but you don’t. You say that you believe in the writings of Moses, but Moses wrote about Me and you don’t believe him, how can you believe My words? OK – so the bible is reliable… CLICK
• #32: … and it has authority in our lives, and Jesus thought it was incredibly accurate… What does it say about a literal 6 day creation? (outside Gen 1-11)
• #33: Pharisees testing Jesus ask Him about divorce, He goes directly to Genesis – quotes it as of it is real JESUS quoting Genesis says that Adam and Eve who were literal existed from the beginning.
• #34: Jesus talking about the end times – He says there will such a great tribulation that has never happened – not since God created the world or ever
• #35: Jesus speaking to a crowd of Pharisees with a few lawyers in the mix – don’t you know the low lives always hang around each other Puts the historical Abel (Adam’s son) who was stoned to death by Cain in Gen 4:8 to the historical Zechariah who was stoned to death in the temple in 2 Chronicles 24:20-21 Validates historical facts in Genesis 4 With historical facts in 2 Chronicles 24 CLICK
• #36: Without getting too much into it… Septuagint while it had the same content was organized differently It was Organized… CLICK
• #37: Jesus is speaking about a historical moment Word “flood” is kataklysmos Jesus is using a literal event in the past to foreshadow a literal event in the future If the global flood didn’t really happen, then Jesus isn’t coming back IN fact, Jesus quoted the old testament as history throughout his ministry…CLICK
• #38: Jn 3:14 – so shall the Son of Man be lifted up so that whoever believes will have eternal life Jn 6:32 – God gave the bread from heaven that gives life and I am the Bread of life, he who comes to me will not hunger Luke 17:28 – fire and brimstone – 32- remember Lot’s wife – it was a true account Matt 10:15 – easier on S&G than on the city that rejects the word
• #39: Lk 4:25 - affirms the miracles of Elijah Matt 12:40 – Jonah was 3 days in the belly of the sea monster, so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth JESUS USES GENESIS AND THE OT HIS ENTIRE MINISTRY AS IF IT WERE HISTORY Jesus took it as straightforward HISTORY Jesus used the OT to teach His disciples that the events of His death, burial, Resurrection, and Second Coming
• #40: Included Adam in a list of real people in the lineage of Jesus Matthew, written for Jews, takes the lineage back to Abraham. Luke, written for Gentiles, takes it back to Adam for the beginning of the human race Jude 14 confirms this – says that Enoch was in the 7th Generation from Adam
• #41: Paul equated Jesus to Adam in his sinless state Who was the first perfect man? - Adam Remember, we were born in sin: Ps 51:5 I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. Adam was created perfect and failed – Jesus did it right IF IT’S NOT A LITERAL ADAM THE ARGUMENT IS USELESS
• #42: Paul speaks of a literal Adam Argument makes no sense without a REAL Adam
• #43: If there wasn’t a literal Adam and creation, this argument is null and void. But this next verse is what completely blindsided me and stopped me in my tracks… CLICK
• #44: This verse is what stopped me in my tracks CLICK
• #45: 1&2 Cor written in AD 55, 1 Tim written AD 63 IN YEAR 41 PAUL WAS CAUGHT UP INTO PARADISE AND HEARD INEXPRESSIBLE WORDS THAT NO MAN COULD REPEAT 22 years after Paul is with God – he still believes in a literal Genesis
• #46: 1. You either believe in God’s word or man’s word 2. When man’s truth builds the foundation for a society, that society can be summed up by the last verse in Judges 3. If you don’t want moral relativism for your kids – show them God’s word is true, right and correct and you have to live it
• #47: In 2012, researchers found and published a therapod called Sin-uh-cally-opterix in Liaoning, China that was so well preserved they were able to make out the contents of its intact stomach – birds. In fact, they found two Cornifuciusornithids, one had recently been eaten, the other had been in there a little bit longer. But that wasn’t all, upon further inspection, they found a third bird in a more advanced state of digestion.
• #48: In 2012, researchers found and published that they found a therapod called Sinacalliopteryx in Liaoning, China that was so well preserved they were able to make out the contents of its intact stomach – birds. In fact, they found two Cornifuciusornithids, one had recently been eaten, the other had been in there a little bit longer. But that wasn’t all, upon further inspection, they found a third bird in a more advanced state of digestion.
• #49: Here is their depiction of the birds being eaten This is an artist’s depiction – they have no basis for the hair – but they want you to think it’s an evolutionary step.
• #50: This is what the bird would have looked like – we see these all over the fossil record
• #51: And they are always layed flat between two layers of mud sediment and squished flat
• #53: Pray over the next few weeks that God will show us where we have hardened our hearts to Him That He would show us what to believe Have the courage to take God’s truth over man’s truth
