HARRO EVERYONE. I'm still reeling over the results of RICE (it resulted in a close friend getting saved! Hooray! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D) and how successful it was. I hope everybody had a blast and will get together for next year's event!
Right. To the topic of the day - prophecy. We know in the New Testament that Jesus Christ was a man who walked on the Earth. But what sort of man was He? If, perchance, you decided do dive into the prophecies in Genesis 12, Genesis 17, Genesis 49, Numbers 24, Isaiah 11, Jerimiah 23 (just to name six of the ONE HUNDRED or more), you'd discover that He wasn't just a man. He was the fulfilment of the prophecies that were written down centuries, even millenia, before His birth.
Jesus Christ is the inescapable link between the New and the Old Testament. He is the proof to us that one side of the bible is dependent on the other. Historical data states that Jesus Christ was born, lived, and died exactly as the bible predicted. It's that simple. Jesus Christ fulfilled at least 100 specific prophecies in the bible. The chances of that occuring by coincidence are second to none, like the chances of something appearing out of nothing.
Something appearing out of nothing will be the next topic - the Creation vs Evolution debate as explored by the RICE evangelism team.
I know someone who would be interested in the evolution topic!!! I think you can guess who :P
ReplyDeleteAlso, apart from the fact that Jesus holds both the bible itself and the historical importance of the bible together, HE'S FRICKIN AWESOME.
That is all :D
