📖 Can archaeology Prove the Bible is Historically Reliable?

In this announcement, Dr. Weaver, professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, invites you to join a brand-new, FREE 14-week course on Biblical Archaeology, beginning Wednesday, January 14th at 6:45 PM. This course explores some of the most compelling discoveries from biblical archaeology—including real artifacts, ancient inscriptions, and historical sites—that affirm the historical reliability of Scripture. Drawing from Dr. Weaver's book and video series Faith-Affirming Findings, we’ll examine evidence showing the Bible speaks about real people, real places, and real events.

🧱 Archaeology doesn’t replace faith—but it powerfully supports it and equips believers to confidently defend the credibility of God’s Word in an increasingly skeptical world.

📍 You can attend:

• In person
• Online (live)
• Or watch the recordings afterward

📥 To receive access to the videos, class notes, and announcements, you must register at:👉 fellowshipforney.org/fellowship-bible-institute

As you consider how to start the new year, this is a meaningful opportunity to strengthen your faith, deepen your confidence in Scripture, and grow in your understanding of biblical history.

📅 We begin January 14th at 6:45 PM
We would love for you to join us.

Is the Christmas story based on blind faith—or solid historical evidence? In this special Christmas episode of Bible and Theology Matters, Paul Weaver explores how biblical archaeology directly affirms the historicity of the Christmas story. From ancient Babylonian ration tablets to the massive stone architecture of Herod the Great, archaeology confirms the people, places, and political realities described in the Gospels.

🔍 In this episode, you’ll discover:
-How the Jehoiachin Ration Tablet proves the survival of the Davidic line
-Why the Christmas story begins in Babylon—not Bethlehem
-Archaeological evidence for Herod the Great, his paranoia, brutality, and building projects
-How sites like the Herodium, Caesarea Maritima, and the Jerusalem Temple confirm the Gospel timeline
-Why the Massacre of the Innocents (Matthew 2) fits perfectly with what we know of Herod from Josephus
-How archaeology strengthens confidence in the historical reliability of Scripture

Far from undermining faith, archaeology reveals that the Christmas story is rooted in real history, real kings, real places, and real events—exactly as the Bible records.

📖 “When the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son…” (Galatians 4:4)
🎄 This Christmas, discover why the birth of Jesus Christ is not myth or legend—but history with eternal significance.

Should believers speak in tongues today? Is the Book of Acts prescriptive for Christians—or simply descriptive of what happened in the first century? And how do modern Charismatic and Pentecostal practices compare to the biblical gift of tongues? In this in-depth episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver (Associate Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary and Professor of Bible & Theology for the National Theological College and Graduate School) carefully examines what Scripture actually teaches about speaking in tongues. Drawing from Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians 12–14, Dr. Weaver explains:
 
✅ The true biblical meaning of “tongues” (glōssai)
✅ The difference between Acts 2 tongues and Corinthian tongues
✅ 12 biblical principles Paul gives for the use of tongues 
✅ Why tongues were a sign for unbelievers
✅ The biblical case that tongues have ceased
✅ Why a “private prayer language” is not found in Scripture.

You’ll also hear Dr. Weaver’s personal story of growing up in charismatic churches and how a careful study of God’s Word changed his understanding of this controversial topic.

Are signs and wonders for today? 🤔 In this powerful episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, host Dr. Paul D. Weaver tackles this hot-button issue by asking a more fundamental question: What were signs for in the Bible? Drawing from his personal experiences in charismatic and Pentecostal churches, Paul shares his journey of evaluating these practices against the ultimate authority—Scripture. He then breaks down his essential "Theological Method" pyramid, explaining the foundational steps from presuppositions to practical theology that every believer must understand to build sound doctrine.

In this episode, you'll discover:
-The Biblical Purpose of Signs & Wonders: How they authenticated Jesus and the Apostles, and why that matters today.
-A Personal Story: Paul's candid childhood experiences with speaking in tongues, healing, and the emotional weight of charismatic practices.
-The 6-Level Theological Pyramid: Learn how Presuppositions, Hermeneutics
-Exegesis, Biblical Theology, Systematic Theology, and Practical Theology work together to form a solid faith. -Scriptural Deep Dive: Examining key passages in Matthew, John, and Acts that define the true role of miracles.
-A Warning About False Signs: What the Bible says about the deceptive miracles of the Antichrist.
-The Final Verdict: Are sign gifts like miracles and healing for today? The answer may surprise you. If you've ever wondered about the role of miracles, the charismatic movement, or how to interpret the Bible correctly, this episode is for you. Learn why we are called to preach the Gospel—not crave signs—as the power of God for salvation.
