Refuting Four Recent Attacks

 Against The Historical Jesus

by Phil Fernandes
Seattle Creation Conference, October 2011

Description:

Dan Brown, author of The DaVinci Code, claims that the church never believed Jesus to be God until the Council of Nicea in 325 ad. Elaine Pagels of Princeton University believes that the so-called Gnostic Gospels should be added to our Bibles, despite the fact that these works contradict the New Testament teachings about Jesus. Bart Ehrman argues that, due to all the variants in the copies, we don't really know what the original manuscripts of the New Testament actually said. And Dr. Robert Price doesn't even believe Jesus really existed--the early church borrowed from pagan myths to construct their own Jesus myth. Christians must be able to respond to these four attacks to show the world that the Jesus of the Bible is in fact the true Jesus of history.

This video file is a 60 minute seminar by Phil Fernandes that was recorded during the Seattle Creation Conference October 2011 at Wooden Valley Baptist Church.
