Jonah and the Big Fish, Part 2

3. Are Miracles Possible?, Anthony Williams, Apologetics, Archaeology, Assyria, bellatorchristi.com, Big Fish, Christianity, Gospel, history, Jonah, miracles, Nineveh, Old Testament, Prophet
In my previous article, Jonah and the Big Fish Part 1, I spoke about Jonah, the wayward prophet who initially tried to avoid God’s command to warn the people of Nineveh about the impending judgment they were about to receive for the wickedness of their culture. In that article, I discussed the identity of Jonah, who is also mentioned in 2 Kings, as well as the historical realities of Israel, Nineveh (an Assyrian city), and the archaeology that helps us connect what is written to what has been found in the dirt, including what was known for centuries as the grave of Jonah near the lost (but now found) city of Nineveh. I will hereafter do my best to add to the historical and Biblical evidence to show that Jonah and…

Jonah and the Big Fish (Part 1)

3. Are Miracles Possible?, Anthony Williams, Apologetics, Archaeology, Assyria, bellatorchristi.com, Big Fish, Christianity, Gospel, history, Jonah, miracles, Nineveh, Old Testament, Prophet
The Book of Jonah is very short, only four chapters long. It tells of a prophet named Jonah who was told by God to go to the great city of Nineveh and warn them of a coming judgment. Jonah goes the opposite way on a ship, but a violent storm ends with Jonah being tossed overboard by the sailors because they learn he is fleeing from God. Jonah is swallowed by a great fish, and after three days and some prayers of repentance, he is spit out at Nineveh. [1] He gives his short warning and waits for God to destroy the evil inhabitants. However, the Ninevites repent, and God spares them from the judgment. Jonah is upset with God, Who reminds Jonah that He (God) has every right to…

Can a biblical case be made to justify the practice of homosexuality? Does science support the narrative that people are “born gay”?

In this powerful episode, Frank is joined by Dr. Robert Gagnon, arguably the world’s leading scholarly authority on the topic, to tackle one of the most divisive moral issues of our time.

Was the Messiah Predicted in the Old Testament?

Adam Lloyd Johnson, Apologetics, biblical apologetics, Christianity, christology, ConvincingProof.org, Gospel, Jesus, messianic prophecy, Old Testament, Theology and Christian Apologetics
In Galatians Paul wrote that the Law served as a “tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith” (Gal. 3:24). Even though Paul was specifically referring to the Mosaic Law, the same could be said concerning the Old Testament as a whole. The Messiah, His person, His work, and His ministry were anticipated through allusion and imagery, not the least of which was the establishment of a theology concerning substitutionary atonement. This laid the groundwork for understanding our need for a Messiah because it explained how we came to be the wretched beings that we are, why God’s moral righteousness means our situation is so dire, and what must be done to reconcile us back to the loving relationship with God we were created…

Is THIS One of the Strongest Evidences for the Bible?

Bible, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Evidence, Jesus, morality, Old Testament, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
What did Jesus mean when He said the Old Testament was all about Him? Could figures like Moses, Joshua, and Joseph actually point directly to Him? Once you see how the Bible connects from Genesis to Revelation, you’ll realize it could only have been inspired by a Divine Author. Frank explains how God’s plan for redemption was woven into the very fabric of Scripture long before Jesus walked the earth as he answers questions like: What are the three main arguments for the existence of God? What is typology and how does it demonstrate the divine nature of the Bible? What’s the difference between a theophany and a typology? How can biblical interpretation be divided into three levels? What two ways did Jesus and the apostles interpret the Bible? How…

Old-Testament Slavery: Fact. vs. Fiction with Dr. Paul Copan

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, Old Testament, Paul Copan, philosophy, Podcast, religion, slavery, theology
Does the Bible condone slavery? Critics often point to verses like Leviticus 25 as proof that Scripture supports the kind of dehumanizing chattel slavery we know from the antebellum South. But is that REALLY what the text is teaching? Old Testament scholar and author, Dr. Paul Copan, joins Frank to unpack this hot-button issue and explain how to think carefully about slavery in its historical and redemptive context. You’ll hear answers to questions like: What are 8 things a person needs to study in order to understand this topic well? What does the opening chapter of Genesis teach us about slavery? What is chattel slavery and how is it different from slavery in the Bible? How did the Mosaic laws on slavery compare to other nations in the Ancient Near…
