In this 72-minute interview, Holly Pivec discusses the heretical problems with the new apostolic reformation (NAR) churches, especially Bethel Church in Redding, CA. Due to the popularity of their music program, this is an important issue.
Skeptics of Christianity sometimes claim that Jesus never claimed to be God, and that belief in His divinity was a legend that developed over time. When did this belief develop? How early can it be established?
The Jewish Scriptures - the Old Testament - speak often of the coming Messiah. The New Testament clearly claims that Jesus is that Messiah, and points to many Old Testament prophecies as being fulfilled by Jesus. Here are 40 of the 300+ prophecies associated with Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.
The Bible makes it clear from Genesis to Revelation that the primary tool of the devil is deception. As Dixon says: the devil is a liar, says he can give you everything that you desire, everything you want but you'd be playing with the fire... so don't believe the lie. It comes at a price.

Jesus' death fulfilled Old Testament prophecy. Even though He paralleled His own death with 'the sign of Jonah,' some have struggled to justify using His words as evidence, believing that Jonah didn't die inside the fish. A careful look at Scripture says otherwise.
When we read books like 1 Corinthians, we're reading one side of a conversation. Mirror-reading is a scholarly technique designed to investigate the rest of the story. It's important to keep the nature of the letter in mind.
A Hebrew inscription on a jar unearthed at Tel Abel Beth Macaah may resolve a long-running dispute about the extent of Israelite territory in the 9th-century B.C.E. Written in Hebrew, the inscription reads “belonging to Benaiyo.”
The well-known Kalam Cosmological Argument is sometimes dismissed by skeptics... not on the basis of the argument itself, but because it's used by Christians as support for the biblical account of creation. Here the argument appears in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
J. Warner Wallace explains that the Big Bang provides evidence for God's existence, and that it fits neatly with the Genesis account of creation. Rather than affirming a view of the origin of the universe as godless, it supports the idea that the universe isn't eternal, but came into being at a specific point in history.
