0:55 - BOOK: The Historical Jesus by Gary Habermas

1:11 - WHY IS THE RESURRECTION SO IMPORTANT? THE CENTRAL EVENT OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. (1) PROVES THAT JESUS IS GOD. (2) PROVES THE FATHER ACCEPTED JESUS’ SACRIFICIAL DEATH ON THE CROSS. (3) PROVES THAT ALL CHRISTIANS WILL BE RESURRECTED. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:14

2:09 - ANY PROOF? 1) 12 HISTORICAL FACTS NEARLY ALL SCHOLARSHIP AGREES ON, 2) EARLY CHRISTIAN CREEDS. CREEDS ARE STATEMENTS OF SHARED BELIEF. DATE 3-20 YRS AFTER THE RESURRECTION. THEY PROVE THE RESURRECTION OCCURRED.

3:43 - HOW DO THE CREEDS WORK? SHARED VERBALLY, LATER WRITTEN DOWN. EARLIEST CHRISTIAN CREED IS 1 COR. 15:3-8 (3-8 YRS AFTER THE RESURRECTION).

6:26 - ESSENTIAL FACTS OF CHR’Y WERE COMMON KNOWLEDGE. CREEDS PROVE LEGENDS COULD NOT DEVELOP!

7:27 - MORE THAN 20 CREEDS  IN 9 NT BOOKS (LUKE 24:34; ROMANS 10:9; 1 PETER 3:18; 1 JOHN 4:2). Binmin blog: “Early Christian Creeds: 8 Points Proving the Resurrection”

9:16 - SO WHAT? CREEDS PROVE JESUS’ RESURRECTION. ONLY ENCOUNTERING A RESURRECTED JESUS EXPLAINS THE DISCIPLES’ TRANSFORMATION.

10:38 - WHAT’S YOUR NEXT STEP? READ THE CREED: 1 CORINTHIANS 15

Real people witnessed the resurrection of Jesus then wrote about it. Do the New Testament authors contradict each other or were they prejudiced to make up a resurrection? Find out in this episode!

0:56 - CHRISTIANITY DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON JESUS. THE NT IS THE PRIMARY SOURCE ABOUT JESUS.

1:30 - CAN YOU TRUST THE MANUSCRIPTS (Previous eps). TODAY: CAN YOU TRUST THE AUTHORS? HOW TO DETERMINE IF AUTHORS TRUSTWORTHY? 1. CONTRADICT? 2. NUMBER? 3. TRUTHFUL? 4. PREJUDICIAL?

3:30 - 1. CONTRADICT? No! If they were identical, we’d expect collusion. All agree: JESUS CLAIMED TO BE SON OF GOD & DID MIRACLES. CRUCIFIED 30 A.D. ROSE FROM DEAD. DISCIPLES CONVINCED & MORE CONVERTED.

6: 21 - 2. NUMBER? 9 AUTHORS. ALL EYEWITNESSES OR SUPERVISED BY EYEWITNESSES. 6 INDEPENDENT SOURCES WRITTEN 20-40 YEARS AFTER THE RESURRECTION (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Peter). 1 COR. 15:6 MORE THAN 500 SAW THE RESURRECTED CHRIST

8:02 - 3. TRUTHFUL? ALL OF THE APOSTLES EXCEPT FOR JOHN WERE MARTYRED

9:53 - 4. PREJUDICIAL? APOSTLES WERE NOT PREJUDICED TO BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION. LUKE 24:11 (women run back, apostles don’t believe them). “DOUBTING THOMAS.” HAD NOTHING TO GAIN PERSONALLY.

12:18 - SO WHAT? INTEGRITY OF WRITERS IS BEYOND REPROACH. HONESTY & MANUSCRIPT ACCURACY CONFIRMS HISTORICAL RELIABILITY.

13:22 - WHAT’S YOUR NEXT STEP? PRAY FOR BOLDNESS

There are standard tests historical documents go through to find out if their historically reliable. And the Bible pulls through: both looking inside and outside to other books that talk about the events of the New Testament!

0:00 - INTRO

1:50 - 3 TESTS: 1. BIBLIOGRAPHIC TEST (*Check out Ep. 52), 2. INTERNAL TEST, 3. EXTERNAL TEST

2:35 - 2. INTERNAL TEST: what’s written in the NT. ERRORS IN THE BIBLE? NO ERRORS IN THE BIBLICAL MANUSCRIPTS: overwhelming majority: of variant readings are grammatical, word order, synonyms. Bruce Metzger: LESS THAN 40 OF 20,000 LINES - NOT SURE WHICH IS ORIGINAL ( in Geisler & Nix, A General Introduction to the Bible (1986), 475.).

5:06 - WE AREN’T MISSING ANYTHING; WE HAVE TOO MUCH.

6:19 - VARIANT READINGS HELP CONFIRM THE ORIGINAL TEXT. 5,000 MANUSCRIPTS PROVE ORIGINAL MESSAGE

8:03 - CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE? (2. INTERNAL TEST cont’d). SO-CALLED “CONTRADICTIONS” ARE INTERPRETATION MISTAKES. Still conveys message of Bible.

10:45 - REVIEW!: MANUSCRIPTS (1. BIBLIOGRAPHIC, 2. INTERNAL, 3. EXTERNAL), AUTHORS

11:24 - 3. EXTERNAL TEST:  HISTORICAL WRITINGS? ARCHEOLOGY? *Gary Habermas, The Historical Jesus: 17 NON-CHRISTIAN WRITINGS that confirm NT.

13:08 - 140+ ARCHEOLOGICALLY CONFIRMED FINDINGS

14:00 - SO WHAT?

1:23 - CHRISTIANITY DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON JESUS. THE NT IS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF JESUS.

2:03 - THE MANUSCRIPTS WERE ACCURATELY COPIED. WE CAN TRUST THE AUTHORS

3:00 - 3 TESTS: 1. BIBLIOGRAPHIC TEST: If we have accurate copies of the original 1st century books of the NT.  “Was the Bible handed down accurately?” NEXT EPISODE: 2. INTERNAL TEST: looks “inside” the book to see if errors/contradictions. 3. EXTERNAL TEST: looks outside the documents to see if any other contemporary writings/archaeology supports.

4:37 - BIBLIOGRAPHIC TEST:  1 - HOW MANY manuscript copies exist; 2 - HOW EARLY (earliest surviving manuscripts); 3 - HOW ACCURATELY have they been transmitted

5:58 -  1 - HOW MANY MANUSCRIPT COPIES EXIST? 5,800 HAND-COPIED GREEK MANUSCRIPTS of the NT! By far the most copies of any ancient work. 9K early translations. Could reconstruct most NT from quotes by Early Church Fathers.

9:34 - 2 - HOW EARLY ARE THESE MANUSCRIPT COPIES? 88 UNDISPUTED MANUSCRIPTS from 25-200 years after written. John Rylands fragment of John (found in Egypt 25 years after written); Bodmer Papyri (oldest surviving complete manuscript copies of NT books - little over 100 yrs after NT complete); Chester-Beatty Papyri (most of NT, 50 years after NT completed). No other ancient book has such a small time gap between composition & earliest manuscript copies!

11:46 - 3 - HOW ACCURATELY HAS IT BEEN TRANSMITTED? Bruce Metzger: 99.5% OF THE NT HAS BEEN ACCURATELY TRANSMITTED. THE 0.5% IS NOT MISSING TEXT BUT TOO MUCH TEXT.

13:08 - SO WHAT? OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE TO TRUST THE NT. THE BEST-ATTESTED ANCIENT TEXT. HAS BEEN ACCURATELY TRANSMITTED.

14:50 - WHAT’S YOUR NEXT STEP? TELL SOMEONE ABOUT THIS.

Is the Bible just a bunch of myths? Has it been corrupted with false tales of miracles? This episode unveils why it isn’t mythical and why it makes sense to believe that it’s events really happened, especially Jesus’ resurrection.

1:05 - WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THE BIBLE IS MYTH? 1. THE PROBLEM OF MIRACLES, 2. THE PROBLEM OF RECORDING HISTORY

3:12 - 1. THE PROBLEM OF MIRACLES: 2 SCIENTIFIC METHODS: 1. EMPIRICAL (examines natural laws; repeatable, observable events in the present), 2. FORENSIC (like crime scene investigation; singular, non-repeatable, historical events; also used in archeology, origin of universe, and miracles; also called “Origin Science”)

6:59 - 2. THE PROBLEM OF RECORDING HISTORY: Overwhelming evidence that the NT is historically accurate.

10:44 - NEW TESTAMENT LEGENDS ARE IMPOSSIBLE: 2 things needed for myths/legends to develop: 1. TIME (need 2 generations after event; but written 20-40 years after events), 2. SECLUSION (not having enough witnesses; but 1 Cor 15:6 - 500+ witnesses to Jesus’ resurrection).

12:21 - AUTHORS DID NOT BORROW MYTHS FROM OTHER CULTURES. GOSPELS SHOW NO SIGNS OF MYTHS OR LEGENDS. C.S. Lewis - “All I am in private life is a literary critic and historian; that’s my job. And I’m prepared to say on that basis, if anyone thinks the Gospels are either legends or novels, then that person is simply showing his incompetence as a literary critic. I’ve read a great many novels, and I know a fair amount about the legends that grew up among early people, and I know perfectly well the Gospels are not that kind of stuff” (Christian Reflections, 209).

14:34 - SO WHAT? The NT, especially the Gospels, shows no signs of myths or legends. References in the Gospels and Acts are historically confirmed. Manuscripts are too early, numerous & accurate to be myths.

15:40 - WHAT’S YOUR NEXT STEP? TRUST THE NEW TESTAMENT.

1:29 - WHY ALL THE CONTROVERSY ABOUT CHRISTMAS AND PAGANISM?

2:50 - WHY DO WE CELEBRATE DECEMBER 25 AS JESUS' BIRTHDAY? We don’t know the exact date of Jesus’ birth.

4:47 - Are there Pagan Rituals Associated with Christmas? Yes and no. Some traditions have their origins in ancient pagan practices, but the meaning of any word, symbol, or custom is determined by current usage, not its origins.

6:56 - SO WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT SOME OF THE CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS THAT SUPPOSEDLY HAVE PAGAN ORIGINS? For us modern Christians, they don’t hold relevance anymore (ringing bells, giving gifts, mistletoe, etc.)

10:20 - IS THERE ANY BIBLICAL EVIDENCE OF REDEEMING PAGAN SYMBOLS OR BELIEFS? Yes: Paul appropriated a pagan altar for gospel evangelism in Acts 17:22–24.

11:14 - SHOULD A CHRISTIAN CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS? Whether you choose to celebrate Jesus’ birth falls under the category of “Christian liberty” (Rom. 14:5-6; 1 Cor. 10:31).

12:29 - SO WHAT? WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED? CHRISTMAS GLORIFIES GOD. PAGAN ORIGINS OF CHRISTMAS ARE IRRELEVANT

13:29 - WHAT’S YOUR NEXT STEP? GIVE ATTENTION TO JESUS.

2:14 - WHAT IS A GENRE? “Genre”: a kind of writing with a certain form & content

3:09 - 4 GENRES OF NT

3:33 - 1. GOSPELS: TELL ABOUT JESUS’ LIFE (Matthew-John)

4:46 -  2. ACTS: TELLS ABOUT THE CONTINUED EFFECTS OF JESUS’ LIFE. Second of 2-volume work (Luke, Acts). Preface, speeches, voyages, episodes, OT quotes, divine commission narratives, parallels with Gospel genre. How God worked to spread Jesus’ salvation to the world! Acts begins with Jesus ascending to Heaven.

9:27 - 3. LETTERS (OR EPISTLES): WRITTEN TO CHURCHES OR INDIVIDUALS (Romans-Jude). Greeting, thanksgiving prayer, main points, farewell. How read? Find the main point (Romans 1-11), then the application (Romans 12-16).

12:13 - 4. APOCALYPTIC: PROPHETIC WRITING USING SYMBOLS & IMAGERY (Revelation). Reveals the future, delivers to an author, in visions and symbols. There’s gonna be a final triumph of God over evil, and he will establish his new heaven and new earth.
