Podcasts about evidences

Brad Cauley, originally from South Carolina, is married to Nellie and father to Alexandra and Bradford, both students at Pine Tree Academy in Freeport, Maine. He holds a B.A. in Theology from Southern Adventist University, and an M.Div. and D.Min. from Andrews University. Brad is the author of Steps to a Vibrant Church and ReGenerate! A Strategy to Revitalize Seventh-day Adventist Churches. His upcoming book, In God I Trust? Examining Evidence for a Faith Relationship, will be published later this year. 

Join us as Michael Grooms delivers his lesson titled, "Evidences of an Empty Tomb."

In 1833, Thomas Starkie observed, “It so rarely happens that witnesses of the same transaction perfectly and entirely agree in all points connected with it, that an entire and complete coincidence in every particular…engenders suspicion.” On this special Easter edition of the podcast, Shane airs an interview he recorded with Lydia McGrew about differences that exist between the four Gospels related to Jesus' resurrection, and whether those differences can be reconciled.SHOW NOTESArticlesConsidering Alternatives to the Resurrection, Shane RosenthalJoanna: Luke's Key Witness?

On this episode Shane discusses a number of scenes from the book of Exodus and shows how they point to Christ and his ultimate redemptive mission. Jesus is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, the bread of life, the living water, the light of the world, and the good shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep.SHOW NOTESArticlesFinding Christ in All of Scripture, Shane RosenthalNew Life in the New Year: The Story of Exodus, Shane RosenthalPassover, The Last Supper & The Day of Crucifixion, Shane RosenthalWhere Was Jesus Crucified?, Shane RosenthalConsidering Alternatives to the Resurrection, Shane RosenthalBart Ehrman on Jesus & The Claim of Resurrection, Shane RosenthalDid Palm Trees Grow in Jerusalem at the Time of Jesus?

This week, in honor of the world giving lip service to The Resurrection at Easter, your host Fred Williams and co-host Doug McBurney condescend to entertain secular alternatives to the bodily death, burial & resurrection of Jesus Christ by listing the top 10: * Jesus Died by Crucifixion: The resurrection means nothing if Jesus didn't actually die. But virtually all scholars — even skeptical ones — agree Jesus died by Roman crucifixion. Why? The Roman method was brutal and efficient.   The Journal of the American Medical Association published a medical study affirming death by crucifixion.   Eyewitness accounts, including Roman historians like Tacitus, confirm it.   Jesus wasn't resuscitated. He was dead. The resurrection wasn't a near-death experience — it was a reversal of death.     * The Tomb Was Empty: The empty tomb is reported in all four Gospels, and it's confirmed by: Jewish leaders never produced the body. Instead, they said, “His disciples stole the body” — confirming the tomb was empty.   Even critics like atheist historian Bart Ehrman admit the tomb was likely empty — the question is why.     * The Disciples Believed They Saw the Risen Jesus: Something transformed a group of cowardly fishermen into bold proclaimers of a risen Christ. After Jesus' death, they were in hiding.   Then they claimed to have seen, touched, and eaten with the risen Jesus.   Many of them were martyred — not for what they believed, but for what they claimed to have seen.   People don't generally die for a lie they made up, especially when they get nothing in return but beatings and exile.     * The Rapid Spread of Christianity: How did a tiny, persecuted sect become the largest religion in the world? No political power. No money. No military. Just the message: He is risen.   Within weeks, thousands of Jews — fiercely monotheistic — believed Jesus was Lord and worshipped Him as God.   That doesn't happen unless something earth-shaking occurred.       * Testimony of Enemies: Who testified to the resurrection? Not just friends — enemies. James, Jesus' own skeptical brother, didn't believe in Him during His ministry. After the resurrection, James becomes a leader of the Jerusalem church and is martyred.   Paul was a violent persecutor of Christians. He had every reason to stop this movement — until he says he saw the risen Jesus himself.   Enemies don't convert unless they believe something really happened.     *The First Witnesses Were Women: All four Gospels say women were the first to find the tomb empty. In a culture where a woman's testimony didn't even count in court, this detail would never be invented. If the story were fabricated, the writers would've said Peter or John found the tomb.   The only reason to include women is because that's how it happened.   This is what scholars call the criterion of embarrassment — details that are awkward but truthful.   * I Corinthians 15: Paul lists post-resurrection appearances in I Cor 15. This shows belief in the resurrection wasn't a legend that developed decades later — it was immediate.   He names witnesses: “He appeared to Peter… the twelve… over 500 at once… James… and last of all to me.”   Paul is essentially saying: Go ask them yourself.     * The Martyrdom of the Apostles: Nearly all of the apostles suffered and many were killed for proclaiming Christ's resurrection. James: Certainly Beheaded in Jerusalem. Paul: Likely Beheaded in Rome. Peter: Likely crucified (allegedly upside down) Thomas: Allegedly Speared in India. Tens of thousands of Christian martyrdoms witnessed privately by millions of average people over the past 2,0000 years, (God knows and will bring the record on Judgment Day) They didn't die for abstract beliefs — they died for claiming they saw or believed in the risen Jesus. Liars make poor martyrs.     * The Conversion of Saul (Paul): Paul went from persecuting Christians to becoming Christianity's most influential missionary. He lost status, privilege, safety.   He was beaten, imprisoned, and eventually executed.   And he writes about meeting the risen Christ with personal conviction and detail.   What changes a man like that? Something real. Something undeniable.     * Bodily Resurrection from the Dead Fits All the Fact: When you put all the evidence together, there is no plausible alternative theory: The Swoon theory? Jesus didn't just faint — He was executed and His heart pierced.   The Hallucination theory? Hallucinations are individual — not shared by 500 people.   The Stolen body? The disciples would've had no motive and no success against the Roman guards, (who witnessed the theft while asleep)?   The Legend theory? Legends take generations. Christ's Resurrection was being preached and believed among hundreds in just days and weeks. The resurrection isn't just plausible — it's the only rational explanation regarding the earthly life, death ministry and legacy of Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches us that the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ was essential for the salvation of the world and the reconciliation of all things in Heaven and Earth back to God. So any other theory is to be dismissed.

In this episode, Greg and Nathan tackle two topics in one. The first topic they are discussing centers around evidences for believing that the Bible is a historically accurate document. The second focuses on objections people have to the Bible. Don't forget to email questions to thesegotoeleven15@gmail.com. 

The Evidences of Saving Faith - And I shall speak briefly unto two things:--I. How does saving faith approve of this way? on what accounts, and unto what ends? II. How it does evidence and manifest itself hereby unto the comfort of believers.

"The subject of this work suggested itself to the author's mind during a visit to the metropolis. His close communion, at that time, with what is called the 'religious world,' forced upon his mind the painful conviction, that while religious profession was greatly on the increase- and never more so in the higher classes of society than at the present- vital godliness was in proportion on the decline; that while- to speak commercially- the quantity of religion was increasing, its quality was deteriorating. The vast number whose Christian profession was avowed- whose religious character was recognized- whose theological creed was sound- whose conversation was pious- whose sacred observances were rigid- whose benevolence was applauded- whose zeal was admired- who prided themselves upon their eloquent preacher, and their favorite religious author; but who yet were living in the world, and living as the world, and living to the world- deeply and painfully saddened him. The question frequently arose in his mind- "Where is the salt?

Our final lesson focuses on close communion with our Blessed Savior, the True Vine. He loves to have us united to Him! Apart from Him we can do nothing.

This week on the podcast, CrossExamined board member Dan Hodges sits down with New Testament scholar and resurrection expert, Dr. Gary Habermas, for an in-depth exploration of the Shroud of Turin. In their discussion, Dan and Dr. Habermas examine the complex history and preservation of the Shroud, digging into why it has captivated both scholars and skeptics for decades. Together, they'll tackle questions such as:What are the most crucial questions for assessing the Shroud's authenticity?Could the burial cloth of Jesus truly have survived for nearly 2,000 years?What evidence supports or refutes the theory that the Shroud was created in the Middle Ages? Could it depict someone other than Jesus?How do non-biblical sources, archaeology, and medical research contribute to our understanding of crucifixion practices?What kind of event could have imprinted the image of a 6 ft., 180 lb. man on this ancient cloth? As Dr. Habermas unpacks over 40 years of Shroud research, discover why this remarkable artifact continues to be a point of discussion in Christian apologetics and Church history.Resources mentioned during the episode:Gary's website: https://garyhabermas.com/On the Resurrection, Volume 1 (Evidences) : https://a.co/d/1iufB8jOn the Resurrection, Volume 2 (Refutations): https://a.co/d/8O4Yc78

The Greek language Paul uses in 1 Corinthians 15 to convey the gospel's teaching of Jesus' resurrection lodges this in authoritative tradition dating back to months after the events. The center of God's self-revelation and salvation is more firmly attested than anything else in Scripture. Dr. Gary Habermas is Distinguished Research Professor in the School of Divinity, Liberty University, Virginia. His many important publications include, On the Resurrection, Volume 1: Evidences and On the Resurrection, Volume 2: Refutations; there will be two more volumes in the series.  Check out related programs at Wheaton College: B.A. in Classical Languages (Greek, Latin, Hebrew): https://bit.ly/3O8yMWg  M.A. in Biblical Exegesis: https://bit.ly/40JbMVx

One of our initial and natural responses to difficulty is to look for an immediate solution. We do not like tension and pressure in relationships. We despise disunity and spend enormous amounts of time trying to repair such problems. But when attempts to bring about resolution fail, we often run, abandoning the problem and situation altogether. In today's devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us that God uses all things, including trials, for our blessing. If you would like more insight into today's devotional topic, watch or listen to Dr. Michael Youssef's sermon 12 Evidences of Faith, Part 1: LISTEN NOW | WATCH NOWAVAILABLE NOW FOR YOUR GIFT OF ANY AMOUNTDo you know where to turn in the midst of brokenness?
