God only works through the preaching of the Bible?

I am a Scripture alone Christian this article in no way is encouraging people to go away from the Scripture, I am actually encouraging us to bring more emphasis on practicing the Scripture in our modern day with a more deliberate and practical way. I'm not advising anybody to go outside of the Bible to learn about God you should be able to find what a person teaches about God clearly in the Bible in no way should anybody disregard any truth found in Scripture every truth should only stem from the Bible itself. You may disagree with this article but everytime you pray or teach something that isn't word for word a verse in the Bible your actions are agreeing with it.
Read the full thing before you think I'm dissing the very thing (the Bible) I spend my whole life trying to abide by, and have spent years learning it's original languages in order to have a fuller understanding of God. If you know me personally or see me on fb you know how highly I regard and love the Bible considering it the very Word of God.
Interesting convo today. Had a guy tell me in the same breath God only works through the preaching of the Bible then say God used to heal now He works through medical science. I didn't want to point out the fallacy, which I feel would make him think I search for words from God outside of the Bible or signs and wonders in order for God to guide me, I do no such practice but I am open to the Lords wonders and to biblical truths shared with me on a personal level that aren't word for word found in the Bible, but the essence and truth of it can be. That would kind of ruin the office of preacher or pastor if that wasn't the case right? And you would have to get rid of all those commentaries and extra biblical books and never quote a good preacher as if he had a true and fruitful insight that God could use in your life.
The Bible is completely sufficient for all life and godliness from the time it was written until the end of the age, it is the full council of God and I love it, it fills my heart and soul. I personally stick to only teaching from the Bible alone, God only uses truths that are found in the Bible, all we need to know about who God is and what He does is in the Bible but, I would not say the only time God does anything is when your quoting a verse from the Bible. That would kind of ruin are worship songs since most our songs aren't strictly Bible verses, and prayer lives since I pray for things like my car to start, or my moms head aches to go away, or that I do well at work and there's no cars, none of my moms head aches are in the Bible or department of defense meat cutters.
God has sworn by His Word the Bible and it's truths are all we will ever need, I would die brutally to get a Bible into the hands of a nation without the Word of God but whether or not I leave my Bible at home or take it with me the Lord stays with me and His biblical truths remain my foundation and the Lord will never do anything that contradicts His Word the Bible.
We should be focused completely on preaching and teaching from the Bible alone tell Christ comes back, but we should be open to God using the essence of Biblical truths in our modern day lives since so much of our reality is not word for word written in the Bible. Most of us practice our faith this way already but i think it should be more deliberate, If we aren't open to that then really God can't do anything in our life that isn't word for word in the Bible. God wouldn't help my car start, or keep my wife safe, or do any number of things that were foreign to the biblical writers.

OVERCOMING FEAR OF EVANGELISM

 


This is for those people who live the ministry, you are ministers that are not on the payroll at Church. For those who desire to be more evangelical with their faith. Just a few tips from my own experience of things that have worked for me. I've been a Christian for 12 years and since day one I've been trying to get people to believe in Jesus. -Kevin Henderson




I know some people are embarrassed talking about their faith and it feels so awkward to bring it up. It is easier to speak on the things of God if you freely acknowledge Him with your mouth often. Not preaching, just being free and unashamed to acknowledge the Lord in the big and small things throughout the day vocally. It's the little things like "thank God," "God is good," and "God really helped me with that."


If Christ is truly your friend and you are walking with Him, people will know soon enough. "From the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks"-Christ. I'm talking about really walking with God - on the bus, in a restaurant, walking down the street, or even at work which most of the advice in this article will apply to. You don't have to yell "I'm walking with God!" but just be conscious of your anointing from the Holy One. You are a light set on a hill, you are the salt of the earth, and you carry the fragrance and presence of God. That is very important in evangelism and ministry, not in a Pharisaical way, but with a genuine love and acknowledgment of the grace and Holy Spirit of God giving you light, joy and peace (i.e., walk in the Spirit).



There is a HUGE difference between being obnoxious, prideful and judgmental and just being free and open about your faith and walk with God. My co-workers know I'm a Christian and they started to call me "Rev". I asked these guys if they feel judged by me or if I seem like I somehow act like I am better then them. I asked them that because I would hate, hate, hate for anybody to think that about me, let alone any other Christian. The way I have let them know from day one is, I don't brag or boast about being a Christian. 

Yes, I am unashamed of the Gospel, but that does not mean I am unashamed of my sin and things I have done. I will never point out their sins. I will say, "We are all sinners, and all of us sin." I never tell them they need to stop sinning - these people aren't Christians. Do you think telling a guy to stop sinning is going to save him and make him right with God? No. Instead you're going to look arrogant and prideful. It's like telling a rock to be water - it doesn't make sense. 



Those who aren't Christians aren't supposed to be shown how to live the Christian life. No, the message of Christ to the world is not to start living like Christians. It's that Christ was crucified for your sins, He was buried and rose, so now repent of your sins and trust in Him. UNTIL they have done that you shouldn't try to tell them they need to adopt Christian morality - it's arrogant and prideful. If they repent and believe in Christ, THEN they are to be rebuked, exhorted and encouraged to live the Christian morality. 

Another misguided case is trying to get someone to believe the Bible is true and is the divine Word of God (although it is). That in itself is not the message of salvation. The book is not what saves a man, however, a saved man does believe in a supernatural way the fullness of the Bible. You will never find a verse that says "believe this book and you will be saved." I'm sorry, but you won't. That may be offensive to some of my Christian brethren, but its actually a Biblical view. I try to be more Biblical than traditional. The Bible is the authority for the Church and Christians, but even the Devil and the demons believe the Bible. Remember we serve the God who inspired the Bible, we love the Bible in all its glory and seek to abide by it, but the Bible will never replace God.


One way to break the ice without making someone defensive, is to simply ask "have you ever heard of the Gospel?" If you approach this in a kind, gentle manner most people are open and will be interested. That has been the main way I have started the conversation with my coworkers. All of my coworkers now know exactly what the Biblical Gospel is (1 Corinthians 15;1-12). The saddest part was that even those who attend Church did not know what the Gospel was. When asking this question normally they said "No, what is it?" or "I think so but I'm not sure." I asked every single one of them, 24 total, within a 3 month period. Boom. Right there I had an open door, with trusting in the Holy Spirit I basically said.... 

"Christ was crucified for your sins. He was buried and 3 days later He rose from the grave. If you recognize your sins just repent of them and believe Christ died for your sins and rose again and you will be forgiven".
   
Now there you go. You proclaimed the Gospel. You have removed some confusion about Christianity and have shown the simplicity of Christ. And have opened doors for more conversations and deeper waters in their spiritual life. 

One of my favorite ice breaker questions that gets people to open up and even better think about God and spiritual matters. I ask:

"How did you come to believe about God or denial of God? What was your journey like? What led you there?"


These are pointed questions, but in all honesty you want to know if they are ready to listen. Just understand this goes a long way, I can testify to this. I have asked this to many, many people and have had great fruitful conversations around proclaiming the Gospel. 

The problem many Christians run into is this: as soon as the person says something strange or even offensive, Christians are ready to shoot them down with their own knowledge. We don't listen to their points. We listen for all the things that are wrong in their beliefs and are ready to shut them down immediately. Most Christians who are willing to do this are very smart and usually have solid arguments. However, in this type of ministry, we aren't debating or arguing we are simply having a conversation to get to know the other person. People like to talk about themselves. People like it when a person is interested in listening to them speak.





So listen to them, understand them, and be kind. Most people don't like to argue, but they will if before you start by pointing out how wrong and illogical their beliefs. Unfortunately a lot of Christians do this. They want to prove a point, but really what does that do? Is there any love and sincerity in proving a point? Or is it out of pride?

Now indeed you do have to confront their beliefs, and the cross can be offensive, but in order to be effective in this you have to have built trust. Sometimes just explaining why you believe what you believe confronts them without you having to interrupt them and shut them down. 99% of the time if you make someone defensive before you gain their respect as a listener, the whole thing becomes moot. When it turns into an argument, walls begin to build quickly. There's no edification and growth among people quarreling with each other. You must respect them before they respect you. If you expect them to listen and take you seriously, you need to listen to them and take them seriously. You reap what you sow.

***Proverbs 17:14 Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.****


    
This is the most important part - if your purpose in life (no matter what your day job is) is to be a minister and an ambassador of Christ, and your heart's call is for people to be reconciled to God, then each morning, before you start your day, pray for a opportunity to preach the Gospel. Ask that the Lord will open a door for the Gospel. Stir up the gift that is within you. Pray to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Read psalms. Immerse yourself in the Scripture acknowledging the providence of God, as well as the presence and guiding of the Holy Spirit while you read and pray. Now when you open your mouth to minister it is important that you open your mind and heart to the presence and power of God while you are speaking. Some call this "practicing the presence of God." Believe and notice the Lord and His power and not your own eloquence or even the prayer and preparation you have done. Put your full trust in the Lord and the power of His Word and the Gospel. Put no confidence in yourself, but completely trust the Lord and in turn minister to others. May the grace and peace of the Lord bless your sincere efforts and use you to bring many to faith

5 things about Jesus Christ considered historical fact from critical scholarship

 
    Atheists, theists (of all faiths), liberals, conservatives, Christians, Jews, and 99% of all professional scholars have concluded these are the facts we can know about historical Jesus of Nazareth.

The purpose for this article is to give Christians sound information and facts that they can use and prove to defend their faith and to evangelize to others.

There are a lot of assertions by people about Jesus that no learned person - be it atheist, agnostic or theist - would say are true, or have any basis in reality. but these things you can use. 
-Kevin Henderson



    There are a lot of things in the Bible I take on faith, a lot of things I do not claim I can prove historically. Things like the virgin birth of Jesus, YHWH splitting the sea for Israel, Christ walking on water. Those are things I would not try to prove. Even if I did prove those things what would that do? Would that make people repent and believe in the life, death, burial and Resurrection of Christ? I don't think so.

  But even with the things I can prove textually and historically I believe those things by faith. Without faith nobody can please God, so I urge people to lean on their faith, rather then the facts about their faith I am about to present to you.

 These are things that Jesus said for people who want to see God or have some sort of sign - these are the only facts they will have. He said these things 2000 years ago, and these are the main facts of the Christian faith. We can prove these events actually happened in history, unlike the virgin birth, the sea splitting or Christ walking on water. I love what Jesus said here, and how it has lasted through the generations:

Matthew 12:39-41 

Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here...

Fact #1 
                      FACT JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BY PONTIUS PILATE                                           
   
                     It is a historical fact by universally all scholarship 
     Jesus of Nazareth was crucified between 30 and 33 AD

Reason for the fact:
This is historically attested by canonical (biblical) and non-canonical (not in the bible or extra biblical) sources. 
We all know what the Bible says, that Christ was crucified, but since its the Bible nobody wants to believe it. (even tho to the vast majority of scholars its considered a ancient biography of Jesus, It is Christians who consider it God breathed Scripture) but here is a early credible source you or anybody can site confidently, you can site this when people say "only the Bible talks about Jesus" There is many other sources that speak much of the historical Jesus like ""Thallus (52AD Tacitus (56-120AD) Mara Bar-Serapion (70AD)"" 
but I want this article to be somewhat short with simple facts. You can google these things, if your serious about having credible arguments. 

In the Antiquities of the Jews (written about 93 AD) Jewish historian Josephus, stated (Ant 18.3) that Jesus was crucified by Pilate, writing that:
Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, ... He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles ... And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross ...


Fact #2
                          FACT JESUS WAS BURIED IN A TOMB                                                                
    
                 It's a historical fact agreed on universally by all historians;
After Jesus crucifixion Jesus was buried in a tomb by Joseph of Aramathia.

Reason for the fact:
1: Jesus burial is multiply attested in early independent sources IE; Mathew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul and Peter.



   But you say but that is the Bible, and I don't believe the Bible, well all of professional scholarship atheist, agnostic and theist all believe the Gospels and Epistles have historical truth within them because of critical research.
   These are men who know the languages and spend there lives trying to disprove Christianity even so these men/women ALL agree on the fact Jesus was buried in a tomb by Joseph of Aramathia.

                           Late New Testament Scholar Dr. Raymond Brown say's;
"It is very probable (the tomb burial), since it's almost inexplicable why Christians would make up a story that a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin that had Jesus judicially murdered would do right by Jesus by burying Him"

                                    Critical Historian Scholar Rudolph Pesh;
Has dated the testimony of the burial of Christ within 7 years of the events. ((That is incredible in                                   comparison to any and all ancient history certainty ))

             The late Historian teacher John Robinson from Cambridge University says;
         "The burial of Jesus is one of the earliest and best attested FACTS about Jesus"

                  http://infidels.org/library/modern/matthew_green/resurrection.html




Fact #3
           FACT JESUS TOMB WAS FOUND EMPTY BY HIS WOMEN FOLLOWERS
 
                      It's a historical fact agreed on universally by all historians;
    The 3rd day after the crucifixion Jesus tomb was found empty by a group of His women followers.

Reason for the fact:
1. The empty tomb is multiply attested by independent sources. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and the book of Acts. ( Scholars approach the Gospels as biographical sources not Scripture as Christians do)

2. The tomb was found empty by "women" followers. The reason that is significant is because in that patriarchal Jewish society the testimony of women was not highly regarded.

Evidence: The Jewish Historian Josephus says, Quote:
 "Women were not even permitted to serve as witnesses in the Court of Law"
 
   In Historical studies there are many criteria to establish fact. One of the criteria is the "Criteria of Embarrassment"
The fact that it was recorded that women were the first people to testify to the empty tomb is a extremely embarrassing instance, making critical historians believe and assert the story of the empty tomb is a fact of history.

William Lane Craig; Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology says;
"Any later legendary embellishment would have certainly made males be the discoverers of the empty tomb"

Yakov Kramor a Austrian Specialist on the Resurrection states:
"by far most exegiets (critical explanation or interpretation of a texthold firmly to the reliability of the Biblical statements concerning the empty tomb"

(I know these are weird facts but these are simple the attested facts of scholars and historians)


Fact #4
    THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS SAW HIM ALIVE 3 DAYS AFTER HIS CRUCIFIXION 


                     It's a historical fact agreed on universally by all historians;
Jesus was seen ALIVE 3 days after He was crucified.

Reason for the fact:
His appearance to His 12 disciples is certain, tho many scholars agree He was seen by at-least 500 at one time. A good amount of His disciples came to believe that Jesus had risen because they believed to have seen Him alive, so much so that quite a few of them were martyred brutally, for believing they had seen Jesus raise from the dead and were proclaiming it.

In reference to 1st Corinthians 15:3-8 Jewish Scholar Pinchahs Lapide has said, this creed "may be considered the statement of eyewitnesses." which states:

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.


William Lane Craig; Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology says about this portion of Scripture:

"The evidence that Paul is not writing in his own hand in I Cor. 15.3-5 is so powerful that all New Testament scholars recognize that Paul is here passing on a prior tradition"

I know you say "ah but thats the Bible" well professional scholars who know the language and the history conclude this portion is trustworthy historical account.

fact #5

     HIS DISCIPLES WENT TO THEIR DEATH PROCLAIMING HIS RESURRECTION
                     It's a historical fact agreed on universally by all historians;


Reason for the fact: (From biblical and many non-biblical sources)
The first martyr was the disciple Stephen. Most scholars are beginning to agree more and more that the Book of Acts is highly accurate to history. We have this portion of Scripture that shows the martyr of Stephen. (I see the love of Christ upon Stephen here.)

Acts 7:54-60New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Stephen Put to Death

54 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the quick, and they began gnashing their teeth at him. 55 But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; 56 and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” 57 But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears and rushed at him with one impulse. 58 When they had driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and the witnesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Lord and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!” 60 Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he [a]fell asleep.
source: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+7%3A54-60&version=NASB

here is a ancient historical source outside of the Bible and outside of any believing group.

Josepheus a Jewish historian wrote in "The Antiquities of the Jews" book 20 (or book XX) chapter 9:

"Festus was now dead, and Albinus was but upon the road; so he assembled the sanhedrim of judges, and brought before them the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James, and some others, [or, some of his companions]; and when he had formed an accusation against them as breakers of the law, he delivered them to be stoned ... " 

Another non-biblical historical document called the "Martyrdom of Bartholomew" states:

"And when he had thus spoken, the king was informed that this god Baldad and all the other idols had fallen down, and were broken in pieces. Then the king rent the purple in which he was clothed, and ordered the holy apostle Bartholomew to be beaten with rods; and after having been thus scourged, to be beheaded." Martyrdom of Bartholomew.
Source: http://www.about-jesus.org/martyrs.htm

There are at least 10 more documents including non-biblical and credible biblical testimony of the disciples that went to their death proclaiming the resurrection of Christ,

These are just considered historical facts for the Christian faith. If you deny these facts, or say the foolish thing that "Jesus never existed" you will not be taken seriously.

Gnostic "Nag Hammadi Texts" Theology Hiding In Plain Sight. Updated.



   I'm going to give you a basic outline of the Gnostic religion that is still alive fully today, Gnostic theology, not a ton of detail but basic Gnostic "cosmology" (Origin and nature of the universe) and "theological" (study and nature of God) beliefs, That come out of these texts. (nag hamadi texts)
    
 These are accurate basic beliefs of Gnosticism today. Just to emphasize something "theosophy" comes from 2 greek words "thoes" meaning god, and "sophia" meaning wisdom. You will see why that is important throughout the article, that is if you can put 2 and 2 together easily. a little extra tip the word "Gnostic" comes from the greek word "gnosis" which mean "knowledge".

Introduction to Gnosticism.
 
  1: The true god, the force, the light, spirit or "pneuma", is not a personal being. You will often hear things in our culture that came from Gnosticism. terms like "follow the light" that is utterly Gnostic. He is also called father, but also referred to in feminine terms like "mother" when "it" is referred to in the feminine terms they call it the "first thought" or "eternal consciousness" which is separate but the same as the true god.

   2: In Gnosticism the true god starts to create lower "gods"  which have their own genders male and female. these "gods" are called "Aeons". they are to procreate and make other gods. when all the first created Aeons are together they are called "the Pleroma" or the "fullness"of the true light "god"

  3: The highest first created Aeon is called "the Logos" or "the word" but he is not the Christian Jesus. the logos has all the knowledge of the Aeons put together. It is important you know the Gnostic logos is not the Christian Logos, Jesus. Jesus is uncreated the same essence of God completely eternal.

   4:The mother, father, and logos are the Gnostic trinity, they call it "the triad" do not be deceived this is not the Christian Trinity, later on you will see how diametrically opposed this is to the Christian faith

  5:The lowest Aeon is called "Sofia" she is closest to the natural realm. Sofia loved the true god so much she wanted to create from within herself without having relations with her consort. Here is a citation from one of the Nag Hammadi texts explaining what happened.

The Apocalypse of John;

 "The Sofia wanted to bring forth a likeness of herself, without consent of the spirit or her consort. The thing that came  out of her was imperfect and different from her appearance. because she created it without her consort'

 6: what she made was called
-The demiurge" (the architect) You will hear that term in the movie the Matrix
-Iaidabaothe (Child, come forth, or child of chaos )
-Saklas (the fool)
-Sameal (the blind one)

You will often hear famous atheist and agnostics call the God of the Old Testament these things. They are not Atheists or Agnostic the are  Gnostics.

    Now this may shock you into reality, the thing she created according to Gnostic beliefs is YHWH, the God of the Old Testament, our LORD, the Maker of Heaven and earth, The One who is love, who sent His Son Jesus for us, the very God we love is called imperfect, the fool, the blind one, and actually created, and child of chaos.... are you kidding me.
   If that doesn't tell you something already about the rest of what they believe even if it is close to Christianity then you are a fool.

Now that your shocked into the reality, would not Satan call YHWH all of those things.

This is where I begin to sound more like I am telling a story but this is what they believe about our cosmology and our God YHWH.

    7: Gnostics theology believes YHWH the God of the Bible creates rulers called "Archones" they are made to be rulers over the earth, YHWH and the Achrons make Adam. YHWH and the Achrons are planning to make humanity slaves. One of the jobs of the Achrons is to blind humanity to the "fact" we are divine.

   Side note:
  Does that  not sound firmilair to the enemy of our soul?. Read Genesis 3 now, in light of this. Satan is still telling that same lie threw popular media. Most movies show a young man or women "finding the power in themselves", they finally believe in themselves, in the power of their knowledge (gnosis). If you haven't read the books of Gnostics you probably wont see the correlation but I read them and I am not lying or reaching for a conspiracy when I assure you it is of Gnostic influence.

Romans 7:18 -For I know that nothing good dwells in me;


    8; Sofia see's what her "child" ie,. "YHWH" is doing, and is grieved and has pitty on Adam. Some Gnostics differ on how this happened. Some believe Sofia became the serpent, and some believe she tricked YHWH into doing it himself. But either way Sofia somehow put "Divinity" within Adam and I quote it is called "the spark of the divine" google that term.

    9: Gnostics believe Satan is the savior. In general everytime Hollywood speaks good of Jesus they are speaking of a Jesus that died to show us that we are actually divine, Remember that video of Russel Brand talking about Jesus that a bunch of Christians shared? he is a gnostic, he believes that YHWH is a created wicked, evil blind god. Not the Jesus of Scripture that died for our sins and rose from the grave.

    10: Gnostics believe all religions are basically the same and all have the basic morals. They believe Budda, Mohammed and Jesus all preached the same thing. They are slowly trying to eliminate doctrine. to create one mind "one consciousness"  You will begin to hear that term much more in the media and movies "one consciousness" listen for it, everytime you hear it you can be sure the people who are behind it are Gnostics and believe Satan is the savior

    11; Gnostics believe salvation in this life is not repentance and belief in Christ. It is realizing you are a Christ. Christ our Lord spoke of this, and Gnosticism was alive and well in His day and is alive and well hiding in plain site today. You and I have been influenced by it. You will begin to see a lot more of the young generation clinging on to this New Age (Gnostic) belief.

Mathew 24:5 "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many."


    I will leave you with a quote from one of the books I read by Jeffery J. Kripal the religious a philosophy professor at Rice University in Texas. He is a proffesing Gnostic. And a list of Gnostic movies we watch.


  " Inspired by the early Gnostics who could not help noticing just who in the story of Adam and Eve was graciously bestowing knowledge, it was the serpent. And who was jealously pettily trying to prevent it, god." -Jeffery Kripal
