Rebuilding Foundations is a powerful series designed to confront the cracks in the modern Biblical worldview. We will dismantle the strongholds that claim the Bible is incompatible with truth, reason, or science. Through archaeology, manuscript evidence, historical records, eyewitness testimony, extra-biblical writings, and the testimony of the Mazzaroth, we will examine whether Scripture truly stands up under scrutiny. In Rebuilding Foundations, ideological strongholds will meet a spiritual jackhammer, and viewers will discover a faith rebuilt upon a solid, proven, and unshakable Foundation.
In Issues of Dominion, the question of why there is suffering, disease and death will be addressed... And why a loving, all-Powerful Creator allows these things. This topic is addressing the heart of materialism and deals with one of the root reasons people reject God.
If you've ever seen the movie story of Corrie ten Boom, called The Hiding Place, you will likely remember the moment a Jewish lady challenged Corrie and her sister to defend God. While Corrie ten Boom was in the Ravensbruk concentration camp, having been taken prisoner by the Nazi's for the "crime" of helping Jews escape during WWII; she and her sister Betsie began holding nightly Bible studies in with the other ladies in their barracks. One of the other inmate ladies, who opted not to attend the small Bible study gathering Corrie and Betsie were leading, called out to Corrie across the room. The Bible study was halted as everyone turned to look at the lady. Holding up her deformed, crushed hand for everyone to see, the woman challenged, "Did this loving God that you talk about do this? I was a concert violinist. Now my hand is destroyed (the Nazi's had crushed her hand) and I will never play again, if I do ever get out of this place. So which is it? Is your God loving? In which case, He must be impotent. Or perhaps He is cruel and enjoys seeing our suffering? You can't have it both ways!"
How would you have answered this challenge? Is God loving and impotent? No! Is He cruel and capricious? No! Join us for part 6: Issues of Dominion to see how Scripture resolves this issue and be ready to give an answer to this common challenge against Yahweh's Character - which is often seen as a legitimate reason to disbelieve in His Existence.
