“Communication through revelation is part of what makes Christianity unique. It takes you from a vague idea of “there is some kind of something up there,” to a personal God who communicates with us, revealing what he is like and how to have a relationship with him. Anything that could get in the way of that revelation would be disastrous to us either knowing about God or knowing him personally.” JesusTrustBibleKnowing GodWorldviewRevelationApologetics Book:Clear Minds & Dirty Feet: A Reason To Hope, A Message To Share Source: Clear Minds & Dirty Feet: A Reason To Hope, A Message To Share
“The serpent’s objective is clear. He seeks to drive a wedge of doubt into Adam and Eve’s confidence in what God has told them. Satan knows the power of undermining a human being’s confidence in what God has revealed. Sadly, the serpent’s temptation was successful. Adam and Eve second-guessed God’s trustworthiness and then rejected his command. They sinned and ate the forbidden fruit. This was the beginning of the fallen world we all experience. All generations following would have a natural bent for rebelling against God and being skeptical or indifferent to what he has said. To this day, Satan’s objective has not changed. Though his questions look a little different at times, they all contain the same idea” TruthDoubtBibleTemptationSatanApologeticsLiberal Book:Clear Minds & Dirty Feet: A Reason To Hope, A Message To Share Source: Clear Minds & Dirty Feet: A Reason To Hope, A Message To Share
“When the Bible offends you, be encouraged that it offends everyone at some point. Consider the responsibility of the Bible. It must speak the truth to every culture through every era of history. I believe that there has never been a culture on earth that has not been offended by the Bible on some issue. What offends one group could be common sense to another and vice versa. Some cultures are offended that God would judge people for their sin. Some cry out to God to judge people because of sin. There are some cultures that are appalled at how God would forgive people no matter what they have done. For other cultures, that kind of forgiveness is expected of God.” BibleApologeticsOffendOffensive Bible Author:Jon Morrison
