He Has Risen! - Happy Easter

"Christ is Risen!", 
               
              "Truly, He is Risen"





At the Coptic Church, Greek and Coptic responds are used:


Coptic:
ⲠⲓⲬⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ! Ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲛϥ! 
(Pikhristos Aftonf! Khen oumethmi aftonf!)


Greek (more common):
Christos Anesti ("Χριστός ἀνέστη!")

Alithos Anesti ("Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη! ")

Wish you all the best for Easter. May God forgive us all.

Can we trust the Bible?

A visual Description of the Bible by Mark Spence, the Dean of the School of Biblical Evangelism.

The Bible is God's living and powerful Word. It can be trusted because it is inerrant, inspired, and infallible. It is the compass God has given us to govern our lives.

Who is Jesus? Traditional Judaism vs Messianic Judaism

Traditional Judiasm says you can't be a true Jew and believe in Jesus in the Messiah.

Messianic Judaism says you can't be a true Jew UNLESS you believe in Jesus the Messiah.

Apologetic Music: Hazakim - Theophanies

Hazakim (Hebrew for "strong ones") is a group of Jews who accepted Jesus Christ as the Messiah. They have an apologetic album, Theophanies. They are usually mix between Hebrew Scriptures and English.

Theophany, from the Ancient Greek (ἡ) Θεοφάνεια - Τheophaneia (meaning "appearance of God"),refers to the appearance of a deity to a human or other being, or to a divine disclosure

The First Arab Muslim who Embraced Christ in Faith

Ubayd-Allah ibn Jahsh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ubayd-Allah ibn Jahsh (Arabic: عبيد الله بن جحش‎) was the brother of Zaynab bint Jahsh, Hammanah bint Jahsh and Abd-Allah ibn Jahsh. He is one of the four monotheistic hanifs mentioned by Ibn Ishaq. The others being Waraqah ibn Nawfal, Uthman ibn Huwarith and Zayd ibn Amr.

He was married to Ramlah bint Abi Sufyan (who was also known as Umm Habiba Ramla). They had a daughter named Habibah bint Ubayd-Allah.

He and his wife became Muslims and, in order to escape from the Meccan persecution, they emigrated to Abyssinia. At Axum, part of the Aksumite Empire the Christian king, Aṣḥama ibn Abjar, gave sanctuary to the Muslims. There Ubayd-Allah eventually converted to Christianity and testified his new faith to the other Muslim refugees. Ibn Ishaq relates:

“

'Ubaydullah went on searching until Islam came; then he migrated with the Muslims to Abyssinia taking with him his wife who was a Muslim, Umm Habiba b. Abu Sufyan. When he arrived there he adopted Christianity, parted from Islam, and died a Christian in Abyssinia. Muhammad bin Jafar al-Zubayr told me that when he had become a Christian 'Ubaydullah as he passed the prophet's companions who were there used to say: 'We see clearly, but your eyes are only half open', i.e. 'We see, but you are only trying to see and cannot see yet.'

”

Due to his conversion, he was divorced from his wife. He eventually died in Abyssinia.

Later on the Islamic prophet Muhammad married his former wife, Ramlah bint Abu Sufyan and later on his sister, Zaynab bint Jahsh.

Fruits of Apologetics Canada Conference

Last weekend, Canada had its very first apologetics conference. The great speakers, and the amazing spirit carried this conference, and made it a success. More than 600 tickets were sold, which is double what was expected. God Bless everyone who worked hard on it.

The conference was RICH with material that I will try to bring here as much as I can. Hopefully, I will be able to get the videos to share with everyone who couldn't make it. Most of the leaders are affiliated with Biola University, which is leading Christian university in Apologetics. The director of the Apologetics program is one of our guest speakers, Craig Hazen.

Dr. Hazen gave a very nice lecture about "The Case for The Resurrection of Jesus". Here is the hand out he gave. It is a chart to help direct the reader into logical way to think about the topic.

 This hand out is more general case for Christianity.
