    Why you should read the Bible #4 Has modern science exposed the Bible?

    A @Christadelphians Video: Discussion: The Bible is a book ahead of its time in describing parts of the natural world. Scientific discoveries have endorsed the Bible facts. Some science 'facts' have been modified over time as later discoveries have shown earlier conclusions were wrong, and the Bible was always right. Talk concluded with a useful Q and A session.Is the Bible an outdated book of fables, exposed by modern science? Or does scientific discovery actually point toward the truth of Scripture? In this thought-provoking presentation, we explore the dynamic relationship between science and the Bible.We examine compelling examples where the Bible anticipated scientific discoveries, from ocean currents to the water cycle. The discussion reveals how science and faith are not enemies, but can be complementary ways of understanding our world. We also consider what happens when we place our faith entirely in human wisdom and what outstanding truths the Bible provides that science alone cannot.Join us for an insightful and expositional talk that strengthens the foundation for a faith built on both observation and revelation.📖 *Chapters / Timestamps:*00:00 - Introduction01:34 - Science and the Bible: Both Require Faith02:42 - Are Science and the Bible Mutually Exclusive?03:02 - The Ant: A Case Study in Complimentarity05:16 - The Bible as a Predictor of Science05:30 - Matthew Fontaine Maury & Paths in the Sea07:13 - The Hydrologic Cycle in Ecclesiastes08:50 - Christopher Columbus & the Circle of the Earth10:28 - Scientific Theories Change: Spontaneous Generation13:11 - Scientific Theories Change: Geocentrism14:48 - Scientific Theories Change: "Junk" DNA15:48 - Summary: Four Key Points16:53 - What Happens When We Trust Only in Science?20:34 - What Does the Bible Give Us That Science Can't?24:42 - Q&A: What in Nature Strengthens Your Faith?26:26 - Conclusion and Preview of Next Talk*Category: Religion & Spirituality**📚 Bible Verses Featured:*📖 Proverbs 6:6-8📖 Psalm 8:8📖 Ecclesiastes 1:6-7📖 Isaiah 40:22📖 Luke 12:16-21📖 1 Corinthians 2:5📖 1 Corinthians 15:19*Tags:*Why you should read the Bible, Bible and science, faith and science, Bible study, Christadelphian, Bible talk, science vs bible, is the bible true, modern science, intelligent design, creation, bible evidence, religious faith, bible teaching, bible inspiration, thought provoking bibleWe are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.

  2. Thought for February 13th. “YOU SHALL NOT JOIN HANDS”

    7 HR AGO

    Thought for February 13th. “YOU SHALL NOT JOIN HANDS”

    Joining hands, a handshake, is a physical sign of friendship, but Moses uses the term in a metaphysical sense in today’s Exodus reading (Chapter 23).  This contains warnings about joining hands for bad reasons.  Moses makes some down-to-earth statements of things that God sees as wrong, and did not want to see in his people that were being trained in the wilderness to become a nation.  Several of the things we read about are part of life today as men and women act in devious ways to cheat and deceive one another; and much money is made by the legal profession as some try to put right the wrongs they see as being done to them. ”Now these are the rules you shall set before them,” God said to Moses [Ch.21 v.1]   What if these rules were in place today! What about the kingdom age, what do we read in Isaiah!  “When your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness” [26 v.9]  When we come to Psalm 96 we will read “ …he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.” [v.13]  Now Paul made the point to the Corinthians, “do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?” [1 Cor. 6 v.2]  Paul made another thought challenging point in writing to the Hebrews, he warned  those  who had “shared in the Holy Spirit,” that they  “have tasted … the powers of the age to come…” [6 v.4,5]  and that they must not abuse this privilege.  What cause for our heart-felt contemplation here! Consider the role of the saints in the kingdom!  Your role – the powers you will have?!   Back to our Exodus chapter, here is a sample of the kind of rules that will be in place in the kingdom. We read,  “You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness.  You shall not fall in with the many to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a lawsuit, siding with the many, so as to pervert justice” [23 v.1-2].   When Jesus said that we should love our enemies (Matt. 5 v.44), he surely had in mind things which Moses had said – as we read today, “If you meet your enemies ox or his donkey going astray you shall bring it back to him” [v.4]  But can you make people “love” one another?  Why will there be a rebellion at the end of the 1,000 year reign of Christ? Rev. ch. 20 v.9 tells us that “they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints” !  Imagine the cause, the total frustration of many, their desire to “join hands” to do as they please! Let us fully develop a true sense of God’s righteousness now in readiness for the role he will, by his grace, expect us to carry out in his kingdom.

  3. Thought for February 12th. “ … OF HIM WILL THE SON OF MAN BE ASHAMED WHEN HE COMES”

    1 DAY AGO

    Thought for February 12th. “ … OF HIM WILL THE SON OF MAN BE ASHAMED WHEN HE COMES”

    “For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes … “  [Mark 8 v.38]   Why would we be ashamed of Jesus – causing him to be ashamed of us?  Notice, he specifically refers to his words!   What has Jesus said that we would be ashamed of talking to our neighbours and fellow workers about? Isn’t it our responsibility to share our faith with others?   Next Monday we will read in Mark 12 and must note Jesus’ comment about the second commandment – “You shall love your neighbour as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these” [v.31]  Surely we talk to our neighbours, are they aware of our faith?  We don’t feel ashamed of what we believe, do we? If we do, why?  We must aim to overcome our shyness. When Jesus rebuked Peter because he refused to believe that Jesus was going to be killed, he said to him, “you are not setting your mind on the things of God …” [v.33]   Let us try harder to set our minds on the things of God.  In doing so, we will recall that even in the Law God gave through Moses; there is the command “you shall love your neighbour as yourself” (Leviticus 19 v.18).  This has been a command for all ages.  What a different world this would be if that command was carried out!  And who can doubt but that it will be – by those who live in God’s Kingdom. Let us be in training for God’s Kingdom now!  What better way to show your love for your neighbour than by encouraging them to believe in the words of Jesus!  We must try to speak to them in the spirit of love, a desire to share something precious; the pearl of great price!   This will be reflected in our attitude as well as in the words that we use, for we ‘communicate’ as much by what we do – as by what we say.  The world has a word for it, “body language.” We must seek wisdom from above as we set ourselves to do this.   Remember what James wrote, “the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” [3 v.17]

  4. Thought for February 11th. “OUT OF THE HEART … COME …”

    2 DAYS AGO

    Thought for February 11th. “OUT OF THE HEART … COME …”

    Today we read the straightforward teaching of Jesus that exposes the attitudes that lie behind so much of human behaviour.  His words are probably familiar to us; they were spoken against the background of the rules and regulations taught the Lawyers and Pharisees.   Our chapter 7 in Mark begins with a comment that the “Pharisees and all the Jews … do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.” [v.3,4]  Now such a practice is good, but when we embellish it, as they did, and turn it into a ritual and a foundation for your sense of righteousness, then it corrupts human thinking.  Jesus teaching is very simple and goes to the heart of the problem.  He first quotes Isaiah, “it is written, “‘This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me;  in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ” [v.6,7] Let us make sure our doctrines are the commandments and teachings revealed in God’s word.  The ‘simple’ warning of Jesus should be familiar to us,  “from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.  All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” [v.21-23] Jesus’ words are so applicable to life around us today and while few are guilty of physical murder yet Christ indicates “slander” is serious for it seeks to ‘murder’ a person’s character.   Consider “coveting … envy .. pride” and then think of the abundance of advertising that surrounds us!  It is aimed at developing and exploiting these attitudes in human thinking: it also encourages and exploits sensuality. These are the main attitudes of mind that threaten to “defile” us today, to develop within and then come “out of the heart”– our heart!   When we come to ch. 12 we will see Jesus’ answer to the scribe who asked, “Which commandment is the most important …” [v.28] Jesus replies, “you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'” [v.30]   What is love?  That is a word that has been totally corrupted today!  If the full focus of our mind is on loving the creator of all life together with his Son who came to offer us ‘abundant life’ – then “out of our heart will increasingly come everything that is lovely and Christ-like.

    Why You Should Believe the Bible #3 'The Dead Sea Scrolls'

    A @Christadelphians Video:How can a 2000-year-old discovery, still being made today, provide outstanding and concrete proof for the accuracy of Biblical prophecy? In this thought-provoking presentation, we explore the fascinating world of the Dead Sea Scrolls, focusing on a recent breakthrough that solidifies the case for the Bible's divine inspiration.We delve into the incredible story of their discovery and the initial excitement from top archaeologists. We then examine how traditional dating methods created challenges for scholars, specifically concerning the prophecy in Daniel 11. Now, with the aid of new artificial intelligence technology, a clearer picture has emerged—one that confirms the Book of Daniel was written *before* the events it foretold. This is a powerful, evidence-based affirmation of the Bible's reliability.Join us for this insightful expositional talk that strengthens faith through historical and archaeological evidence.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction00:46 - The Discovery of the Scrolls02:43 - Initial Dating and Importance05:44 - Advanced Dating Methods07:53 - The Daniel 11 Prophecy Challenge10:37 - AI and the New Evidence14:15 - The Significance for Our Faith14:43 - Why Scholars Challenge the Bible20:23 - Examples of Archaeology Confirming Scripture24:37 - Practical Lessons for Believers Today27:40 - Dead Sea Scrolls and New Testament Quotations31:48 - Conclusion and Call to Action**Category:**📖 Daniel 11**Tags:**Dead Sea Scrolls, Bible Prophecy, Biblical Archaeology, Daniel 11, Bible Evidence, Bible Proof, Scripture, Bible Study, Christadelphian, Bible Talk, Qumran, Bible Manuscripts, Old Testament, Bible Accuracy, Christian Faith, Biblical InspirationWe are a Christadelphian team, Brothers and sisters of Christ, and we're passionate about delivering powerful, Scripture-based content to strengthen and inspire your faith journey.

  6. Thought for February 10th. ” GOD HAS COME TO TEST YOU …”

    3 DAYS AGO

    Thought for February 10th. ” GOD HAS COME TO TEST YOU …”

    We read today in great detail of the arrival of the people of Israel at Mt. Sinai on “the third new moon” [Exod. 19 v.1].  For the great mass of people with their flocks and herds, it had been a testing journey from Egypt; there had been many faith testing experiences along the way.  Now they are “encamped before the mountain” [v.2] and the “LORD called to” Moses and tells him to remind them of all their experiences. “Thus you shall … tell the people of Israel:  You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.” [v.3,4] And today, we have God’s word, if we will regularly and diligently read it, to bring into our minds all that God has done in the past and promises to do in the future. We must read it – so that our awareness of God’s past actions. words and promises become ‘heart felt’ – and not just head knowledge.    Those who commit their lives to God, find their relationship with him keeps growing – we realize we are in a two-way relationship – as Israel had to realize.  The prophet Isaiah wrote, “In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.” [63 v.9] We also read today in Exodus 20 details of the giving of the 10 commandments: these were accompanied by “thunder and the flashes of lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid and trembled” [v.18] “  Moses said to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear of him may be before you, that you may not sin.” [v.20] but “the people stood far off …” [v.21]  How close are we to God?  Do we feel inclined to stand “far off”? Perhaps not – but, are we finding getting really ‘close’ not at all comfortable?  If we read God’s word diligently we will see many examples of this testing; our convictions of belief should be increasingly seen by the things we give priority to each day. When we spend much of our time and money mingling with the world, our God is “jealous.”  We must never forget we “were bought with a price” [1 Cor. 6 v.20; 7 v.23]. There is a sense in which we no longer belong to ourselves!  We had been, in a sense, in slavery to the world, it surrounded us; physically it still does and it threatens to suffocate us!   How joyful were the Israelites – at first – in their deliverance, what a sense of freedom they must have felt; and surely we were joyful when we first accepted Christ as our deliverer from the world around us – the sense of purpose in our lives – the optimism for the future!  Have those feelings faded?  How inspiring are the words in today’s Psalm 73, “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart … for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge” [v.26,28] Our reading and meditation of God’s word is an essential part in maintaining that “strength” – then when events “test you” you have the strength to endure and find “refuge” – and – indeed, you then feel even stronger!

  7. Thought for February 9th. “MAY THE WHOLE EARTH BE FILLED …”

    Thought for February 9th. “MAY THE WHOLE EARTH BE FILLED …”

    Today’s Psalm (72) is a prayer David wrote at the end of his life – addressed to the LORD about Solomon – who was taking over as king. What a vision David had in doing this, it is evident the LORD took his thoughts beyond the forthcoming reign of Solomon.  His prayer starts, “Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the royal son!  May he judge your people with righteousness …” [v.1,2] And Solomon was to do this – and we read in Kings and Chronicles how his fame spread far and wide. But David is inspired in prayer to even greater visions of the future, ones that will only be fulfilled in the reign of his greater Son!  He prays that “In his days may the righteous flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more!  May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!” [v.7,8]  This ultimate future is further emphasised as the Psalm reaches its climax: “May his name endure forever, his fame continue as long as the sun! May people be blessed in him, all nations call him blessed!” [v.17]  David’s prayer concludes, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.   Blessed be his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and Amen.”  We understand that ‘Amen’ has the underlying meaning, of ‘so be it, this is sure, this is truth.’ David’s prayer is a prayer for all true believers in God and His Son Jesus and the ultimate divine purpose for life on this earth. The final and ‘postscript’ verse of the Psalm is “The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.”  The next group of Psalms are prepared by Asaph and others for singing in the Temple – until we get another “Amen and Amen”  at the end of Psalm 89.   Let us all make David’s prayer ours, pleading in prayer to God – “may the whole earth be filled with his glory” – very soon.
