Dear EFC subscribers;

To tell you the truth, it has been a slow month for me–not that I have not been busy, but that I have produced relatively little new material.  However, we got some really great questions this month, so this newsletter will primarily feature some fun and interesting questions and answers.

New Material:

Nevertheless, there is some new material. I have completed the series of ten sermons from the Book of Luke. The notes and power point for the entire series is here:   https://evidenceforchristianity.org/freedom-in-christ-bakersfield-2/   Also at that link are twelve new sermons from the Gospel of John.  I also published an exegesis of Hosea 11:1-12:6  Exegesis of Hosea 11:1-12:6

2021 ICOC Teachers Conference Telios

The ICOC teachers service committee, on which I serve, is putting on our second annual Christian teacher’s conference. It will be offered entirely online.  The theme of the conference is “Let Justice Roll Like a River.”  It is on a Christian view of social justice.  The lineup of speakers is truly amazing, including civil rights icon Fred Grey, Steve Kinnard, Robert Carrillo and much more. The dates are March 4-6.  Register at teliossociety.com Here is the flyer for more info or to register.   Let Justice Roll Like a River

Q & As

Do you use the teleological argument? Can you respond to a video I found from a guy who claims to totally disprove the teleological/watchmaker argument?

What should I think about the fact that the number of Christians is getting less and less?

How did Moses know what to write in Genesis?

How can I respond to those who say that evolutive processes such as star formation and animal evolution do not need God, and who therefore reject the existence of God?

How do you respond to the claim that acc. to Josephus John the Baptist died 5 years after Jesus and that the gospel writers rewrote history to fit the Jesus narrative?

What is Kabbalah? Is it Gnosticism? Mysticism?

If God created nature perfect, and if nature has two sexes, how should we act toward LGBT and hostile feminists?

Enjoy and see you next month.
