Establish the need: What is a worldview? And what does it matter?

Purpose: We will look at four focus to help us think about worldview in apologetics

• What is a Worldview
• Everyone has a worldview
• Worldviews are circular
• Refuting and Defending Worldviews

GO TO PART 73

Point: What do you say when someone say a Christian defense of the faith at a worldview level is circular?  This is brought up often as an objection to Presuppositional Apologetics.

Establish the need: What does God think about unbelief?

Purpose: We will look at four truths to have a biblical view of how God sees unbelief.

1. Creation attests that the Biblical God exists
2. The Word of God is self-evidencing
3. Christ is self-evidencing
4. God’s description of unbelievers

Review: Previous Lessons and how it connects with this session

• We have to defend the faith (session 1)
• We can’t be neutral (session 2).
• We have to have a biblical view of faith and reason (session 3)
• We also need to have a right view of unbelief.
  • Since we can’t be neutral we need to listen to God’s Word on this subject.
  • We need to hear God on whether He has given evidence of Himself and from there what is God’s evaluation of unbelief.

This last year I tried to put out more posts resolving Bible contradictions concerning the final week of Christ through His Ascension to add to the list I put out last year.  It takes some time on my part to go through them to provide exegetically sound refutations; Lord willing I will add more to this lists next year.  See my post I wrote on why refuting Bible Contradictions Takes Time.  As of Passion Week 2022 I have responded to fifty alleged Bible contradictions that took place during the final week of Jesus’ life up to His Ascension.  These posts are arranged below roughly in chronological order in the Gospel with additions we wrote after last Resurrection Sunday labeled “NEW” in red:

Purpose: We will consider four points from Daniel 9:24-26 to see how it predicts Jesus as the Messiah so that we would submit to Him as Lord and worship Him today.

• Determining what is a ‘week”
• Prophecy 1: Rebuilding of Jerusalem
• Prophecy 2: Messiah cut-off
• Prophecy 3: Fulfilled before Temple Destruction

Passage: “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the wrongdoing, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for guilt, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place. 25 So you are to know and understand that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until Messiah the Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with streets and moat, even in times of distress. 26 Then after the sixty-two weeks…

Point: What can one say to someone who have a hard time with the time of hell as punishment and how the wrongdoing is a shorter duration?

GO TO PART 71

Point: An important aspect of Presuppositional Apologetics is that is shaped by Biblical doctrines.  The implication of what the Bible teaches are drawn towards apologetics.  Typically most teaching series on Presuppositional Apologetics will devote some time to talk about what does the Bible teach about area such as revelation, God’s attributes, doctrine of sin, salvation, etc.  Yet some listeners can get impatient.  Some may think Presuppositional Apologetics is just about what does the Bible say about unbelief (it is that, but its more than that, and it does defend truth and refute error).  Can we give an analogy to help listeners be patient, and to not give up with an apologetics that seem to ascend into theology?
