A Case for the Old Testament: The books of the Old Testament are historically reliable! Now what?
As we near the close of our “Case for the Old Testament” series it is important to walk away with the understanding that the 39 books of the Christian Old Testament are not only historically reliable with verifiable facts but these books are inspired by God. The connection between the books themselves is undeniable (which… Continue Reading
A Case for the Old Testament: Do numbers in the Bible have meaning?
I have never been great at math, nor has it ever been a favored subject, but as I have gotten older I have gained an appreciation for it. Scholars agree (including atheists and skeptics of the Bible) that mathematical calculations are universal and have helped to reveal some of the marvels of science that they… Continue Reading
A Case for the Old Testament: Does God Promote Genocide?
Atheists and skeptics of the Bible will accuse God of being a “moral monster” especially because of His order to kill the Canaanites in the Old Testament. They will claim that God is genocidal and promotes violence through the hands of the Israelites against other people groups. But is this a fair assessment from people… Continue Reading
A Case for the Old Testament: Bible Apologetics Every Christian Should Know
Last week we looked specifically at Old Testament Apologetics every Christian should know. This week we are examining apologetics for the Bible as a whole.

A Case For The Old Testament: Who Wrote The Torah and When?
Over the past several posts we have been looking at the importance of the foreshadowing of Jesus in the Old Testament. We looked at a few examples of the way God used people and events to foretell us about His Son. As we study through the Old Testament foreshadowing is a key focus point, but… Continue Reading
A Case for the Old Testament: Does the Role of High Priest Foreshadow Jesus?
Since we have been looking at the foreshadowing of Jesus in the Old Testament I have found that the more you explore, the deeper you can go on this subject. God’s grace in giving His people a picture of what was to come is immeasurable! I think this is why skeptics and others have no… Continue Reading
A Case for the Old Testament: Does the Tabernacle Foreshadow Jesus?
We have been looking at foreshadows of Jesus in the Old Testament over the past several posts. This week we are not looking at a person, but a structure that pictures Jesus. God’s directions for the Tabernacle, and all of the items therein, foreshadow Jesus in who He is and what He would do in… Continue Reading
A Case for the Old Testament: Does the Mosaic Law Foreshadow Jesus?
We have been looking at the concept of foreshadowing over the past several posts and have discovered that almost everything recorded in the Old Testament points, in one way or another, to Jesus. It seems as though God wanted to show us in advance what would come through His Son. It also begs the question… Continue Reading
