The Bible by Sonny Bowman Finding Light in Darkness – Session 2 Why Trust the Bible By Sonny Bowman Basis for a Biblical Worldview The Role of faith Bible claims about itself Bible Authority Bible validated by Jesus Evidence supporting the Bible Worldview Your worldview determines your attitudes, beliefs, values, opinions, and actions. Your way of viewing the world is your basis for decision making. As Christians, we would expect to have a biblical worldview—including belief that the Bible is the accurate Word of God and it must be followed. The Role of Faith Never have 100% of the evidence God designed it that way Since a level of faith is required, need to briefly look at what faith is and what it is not Some things were purposefully left out of the Bible. God purposely built in a requirement for some degree of faith Faith is not: A blind or unreasonable leap without supporting evidence Wishful Thinking or “hope so” Denial of what exists or a current situation A feeling Faith is not a “hope so” or wishful thinking – “I hope to get a raise.” Hope is good, but it is not faith. Faith is not denial of what exists or a current situation. Do not deny the situation, but deny its right to defy the name of Jesus. Why trust the Bible.doc by Sonny Bowman Initial: 6/18/2004 updated: 12/5/2018 page 1 of 22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything. And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.” Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. Mark 8:22-25 Faith is not a feeling – feelings will go up and down while faith remains steady For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears. 2 Corinthians 7:5 Faith is: Choosing to believe what God says “Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD! And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:14-15 Trusting God more than your own abilities or judgments Faith is trusting God more than your own abilities or judgments. Like sitting on a chair. Trust it to hold you. If the chair fails, you will end up on the floor. If you have a plan B, it is not faith. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 Evidence of things not seen Faith is evidence of things not seen. It is not knowing without any questions or issues. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 Faith is believing what is currently unseen, but well supported. There is a difference between opinion, faith, and knowing We often want to know when God wants us to have faith. What the Bible Claims About Itself 1. History in the making Record of the history of creation and mankind. Includes record of God’s interaction with man. “In the beginning…” Gen 1.1, John 1.1 Why trust the Bible.doc by Sonny Bowman Initial: 6/18/2004 updated: 12/5/2018 page 2 of 22 2. Keys to successful living You shall therefore keep His statutes and His commandments which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which the LORD your God is giving you for all time.” — Deuteronomy 4:40 3. Love letters from God God’s explanation of His nature and character—His acts and ways. An invitation to know the Creator of all things. For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. — Hosea 6:6 See how very much our Father loves us…. — 1 John 3:1 (NLT) 4. Coming attractions God’s revelation of future events – see Ezekiel, the Book of Revelation, Matthew 24, and others 5. Through the looking glass Insights and instructions about the spirit realm. A world connected to, but different from the world we interact with each day using our five senses. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. — Ephesians 6:10-13 Bible Authority The Bible claims to be the Word of God. That carries an inherent authority. If there is a God and He inspired the Bible, that gives the Bible a huge weight of authority in any matter it addresses. Over 2,000 instances in OT alone where it uses phrases such as “God said….” (Many Infallible Proofs, by Henry Morris, pg 156-157) knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. — 2 Peter 1:20-21 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. — 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Bible Accepted by Jesus Jesus accepted as factual even the most controversial statements in the Hebrew Bible. Why trust the Bible.doc by Sonny Bowman Initial: 6/18/2004 updated: 12/5/2018 page 3 of 22 Creation of Adam and Eve — Matthew 19:4-6 Noah’s ark and the great Flood. — Matthew 24:37-39, Luke 17:26-30 Israelites fed with manna for 40 years in the wilderness — John 6.49 The story of Jonah, the big fish, and repentance of Nineveh. — Matthew 12:40-41 Jesus Believed the Bible We do not believe the Bible is God’s Word because it has no mistakes. The main reason we believe it is because Jesus believe it and taught His disciples to believe it. If you have made Jesus your Lord and Saviour, it is inconsistent to take a stand that opposes His! Still, there is good evidence for believing the Bible as we will see later. Jesus Quoted the Bible Jesus quoted the Hebrew Bible on matters of authority But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” — Matthew 4:4 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ” — Luke 18:20 Jesus’ Actions Validated Jesus quoted from the Bible to validate His actions and life. Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?” And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. — Luke 24:25-27 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. — John 5:39 Jesus Elevated New Testament Jesus elevated New Testament writings to the same level of God inspiration as the Old Testament. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. … But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Why trust the Bible.doc by Sonny Bowman Initial: 6/18/2004 updated: 12/5/2018 page 4 of 22 Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. — John 14:16-17, 26 Jesus Conquered Death Finally, Jesus conquered death to prove that He knew what He was talking about. But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

  • Reading All the Rivers Run, Nancy Cato's Eco-Historical Epic
    Reading All the Rivers Run , Nancy Cato’s Eco-Historical Epic Susan Sheridan ANCY CATO ’S THREE -VOLUME EPIC ALL THE RIVERS RUN FIRST APPEARED BETWEEN 1958 and 1962. 1 The River Murray is the central presence in the Nnarrative, which encompasses the river’s immense length, over 2,000 kilometres, from mountain springs to the sea, and its colourful history from 1890 until the great flood of 1956. During much of that period the Murray was intensively used to transport goods and people, as well as for irrigation as it is still today. The river was subjected to massive re-shaping, in the early twentieth century, when the construction of a series of weirs and locks attempted to transform it into a more reliable medium for transport, and a more reliable source of water for agricultural and industrial uses. All the Rivers Run offers a vision of the Murray as a region, defined by the river itself, with its towns, industries and peoples, its ecology and mythology. What strikes a reader of this novel today, when we are acutely aware of how drastically the whole Murray- Darling river system is endangered, is the way it incorporates the ecological as well as the social history of the river. 1 Volume 1: All the Rivers Run ; Volume 2: Time, Flow Softly ; Volume 3: But Still the Stream : published by Heinemann, London, between 1958 and 1962, and reissued in condensed form in a single volume, All the Rivers Run , in 1978 by New English Library, London, and St Martin’s Press, New York.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.
