The Moral Law
In this video and article, Richard makes a comparison between a secular foundation for the moral law with a more biblical one, suggesting that with the evidence for Christianity now so overwhelming, it would be wise to base our concept of morality on God’s knowledge of what is good and evil rather than our very imperfect understanding.

Our Eternal Future
This post is a follow-on from the previous two days’ posts, and forms part of the conclusion of Richard’s Masters Degree research into modern mircales. Having come to the conclusion that God is real, and that the Bible is an accurate revelation of Him, we have to look at the whole matter of eternity and the choice that each individual has to make between eternal life and eternal judgement. In today’s article, Richard has compiled a list of the various references to eternity, made by Jesus within the record of the four Gospels. The sheer quantity and weight of these sayings can only go to show what an important issue this subject is.

A Very Significant Safeguarding Issue
In the modern world, we are familiar with the concept of safeguarding. This may come in the form of safeguarding policies for those working with children, youth or vulnerable adults, but has also been seen in the likes of the measures imposed to protect the population from the COVID-19 pandemic. If safeguarding is seen as important in the physical realm, then how much more should we be taking it seriously in the spiritual realm?
This video and article come by way of a conclusion to Richard’s Masters Degree research into modern miracles (see yesterday’s post). If modern mircales confirm the reality of the God of Christianity and the Bible as an accurate revelation of Him, then we have to take very seriously what is said. In particular we need to take heed of the choice given to each individual to accept eternal like or face eternal judgement. This is safeguarding in the truest sense of the word.

Science and Miracles
In this video and article, Richard talks about the implication of scientific method in relation to the supernatural. It is totally reasonable that observable things should be interpreted in terms of science and natural causes wherever possible. This does not however rule out the fact that other things such as creation, the Flood and modern miracles cannot reasonably be explained by science and must be attributed to the divine work of God.

Attention and Truth
In this video, Richard makes reference to an article of his own that forms part of his study for his Masters degree in philosophy. It may make heavy reading for some, but the following two points come out in the video:-

Persuasion
Persuasion is something that we encounter a lot in life, namely where one person attempts to bring another round to his/her own way of thinking. In this video and article, Richard looks at the philosphical aspect of this, particularly in relation to evangelism. Two important points that come out are:

Historicy of the Bible
In this video and article, Richard discusses some of the theories being put forward by modern scholars about the historical origins of the various books of the Bibles. Many of these theories are complex and not sufficiently grounded in firm evidence for us to simply be throwing away 1800 years of church tradition.

The Church’s attitude to Miracles throughout History
In this video, Richard talks about the role of miracles throughout church history. Although miracles were comparitively rare until the last 120 years or so, the role of miracles in upholding the validity of the Bible was nevertheless considered as being a matter of importance.

Miracles and the Second Coming
In the Bible, we see two significant times when miracles occurred in abundance, namely (1) the Exodus and wilderness and (2) the ministry of Jesus. Since the time of the New Testament, miracles went generally quiet during church history, until the last 120 years or so, during which they have undergone a massive revival. In this video, Richard basically asks the question as to what we are to make of this, if anything. In the Bible, we see the outpouring of mircales in the introduction of old and new covenants. Is the latest revival likewise significant, maybe in paving the way towards the Second Coming?
