In The Case for Christ, Strobel investigates the Bible, and information included in the Bible, from the perspective of an open minded skeptic.

Even though he was forbidden to make any more further arguments on such matters, he continued his reforming attempts. One of his most…

life was very important throughout their daily routine. Unlike Christians in today’s society they ate, slept, and breathed the Bible and thought that everything they encountered throughout their day was because God was punishing them or because God was praising them.

He proclaims that the best model that works for him is the Equal Authorities Model as he states: “This model proclaims that it is through the Bible and the general knowledge works that allow…

When it comes to interpreting the Bible, the word “inerrant” has been misused in such a way that has led people to overlook the message intended by God. The mistreatment of this word has brought about attempts to study the Bible as if it were a book of history, science, or philosophy. The sermon combats these misapplications by reminding its audience of the proper use of God’s word, the importance of its divine message, and its claims concerning its own inerrancy. The sermon resonates with me…

Electing to attend Multnomah University has been both a rewarding and challenging experience.
