Modern miracles confirm the Bible

Modern miracles confirm the Bible

In this video, Richard talks initially about the importance which God attached to miracles as a revelation of Himself within the pages of Scripture. These include:

• Old Testament miracles, particularly those associated with the Exodus.
• Miracles of Jesus.
• Miracles performed by the apopstles in the early Church.

He then goes on to imply, that if God attached such importance to miracles in the Bible, is it any surprise that miracles are happening today? Not only that, but many of these miracles can be authenticated, and the vast majority have taken place within the context of Christianity. If people in the Bible were without excuse when divine witnessing miracles, is this not going to be all the more so in the world today?

The Flood - A Picture of the Judgement to Come

The Flood - A Picture of the Judgement to Come

In this video, Richard introduces a set of slides relating to his own visit to the Grand Canyon. He then goes on to cover the following points:-

• The structure of rock layers that we see in the world today, indicate that they must have been deposited in flood conditions.
• Evidence such as soft tissue in fossils shows that the flood had to be recent, i.e. within the Biblical timeframe.
• The commonality of rock layers across continents demonstrates that the flood had to be worldwide and not local.
• Seeing the size of the Grand Canyon, re-iterated to Richard how enormous the Flood must have been, and what a massive act of God's judgement it was.
• Just as the flood was an act of judgement though water, in which eight people were saved in a boat, there will be a coming judgement at the end of the age, this time through fire. Anyone can be saved from this by being in Christ through faith.

Practical Implications of a Second Reformation

Practical Implications of a Second Reformation

In this video, Richard refers to the idea of a 2nd Reformation, which he has mentioned previously on a number of occasions. This time, he states the fact that such an event could only happen as a result of a truly mighty work of God, but then goes on to talk about some of the practical implications that may arise as a result, affecting the way we live as Christians. The topics covered here come under three main headings:-

• A re-embracing of the doctrine of holiness.
• A clear statement of what we believe.
• A re-appreciation of the value of some of the old hymns.

A Genetic Orchard or a Genetic Tree?

A Genetic Orchard or a Genetic Tree?

In this video, Richard compares the concept of a "genetic orchard" with that of a "genetic tree". The idea of a single tree fits in with evolutionary theory, according to which every living thing is descended from the original generation of a single biological cell. On the other hand, the idea of an orchard of trees, fits more with the Biblical teaching that everything was created "according to its kind". The branches of each tree represent adaptation and diversification into different species within a single created kind. Richard expresses his confidence that as more is discovered within the coming years, evidence will grow against the commonality that would be expected from the single tree model, thus adding support to the Biblical account of creation.

Directed Genetic Change

Directed Genetic Change

This video and article talk about the concept of "directed genetic change". This concerns the way in which purposeful changes can be made to DNA in order to provide adaptation to environmental conditions. It is in complete contrast to the idea of random mutations which forms the basis of evolutionary theory. As more is discovered, evidence for directed genetic change is growing, which can only point us all the more to intelligent design and to God as Creator.

Do we need a modern liturgy?

Do we need a modern liturgy?

In this video, Richard freeky admits that he is not advocating a return to liturgical forms of worship. Having said that however, he points out that one of the values of liturgy is that it has reminded people of the fundamentals of what we believe as Christians. Whatever our style of worship, it is of paramount importance that in our lives, we are totally clear about what we believe.

Continental Erosion – Evidence for the Flood

Continental Erosion - Evidence for the Flood

In this video, Richard refers to an article by Michael Oard, which looks at evidence for the massive movement of sediment that would have occurred during the runoff in the second half of the Flood. Some points to note:

• Surface Coal - A massive amount of pressure above is required to cause coal to form, so where we see surface coal, rock layers above must have moved in a big way.
• Rock pillars - These cannot be millions of years old, as they would have completely eroded away within that timeframe. Also there must have been material around them which has been removed to leave the existing formations.
• Dome formations (see the post Harlech Dome), where large amounts of material at the top of the dome have obviously been removed.

In the second half of the Flood, when the waters receded into the ocean basins, large amounts of sediment would have been moved from land into the continental shelves around the edges of the oceans.

Summary of Evidence for a Worldwide Flood

Summary of Evidence for a Worldwide Flood

In this video, Richard refers to an article by Dr. Terry Mortenson which summarises evidence for a recent worldwide flood, rather than a long earth history. The evidence can be divided into two broad areas:

1. Fossils - Fossilisation can only be the result of rapid burial. Added to this, we have the evidence of soft tissue which cannot last more than a few thousand years, and also the fact that we see fossils crossing the boundaries between rock layers that are supposedly millions of years apart in age.
2. Rock Layers - The absence of erosion between layers of sedimentary rock, and also the fact that the layers bend smoothly without cracks, both point to the flood as the most likely cause for their formation. Also the presence of similar layer patterns across continents points to a worldwide flood rather than a localised one.

Harlech Dome – Evidence for a Flood

Harlech Dome - Evidence for a Flood

In this video and the associated PowerPoint slides, Richard talks about the Harlech Dome, a geological feature found in north Wales. Similar features exist in other hill ranges such as the North & South Downs in southern England. Some of the diagrams in the slides will give you an appreciation of what is being talked about. Basically, the orientation of the rock layers in the existing mountain/hill ranges strongly suggest that these form the base of a dome that was once there, but much of which has now disappeared. The question arises as to how this might have happened. It all fits in well with the model of a worldwide flood. The sedimentary rock layers that we see today would have been laid down in the first half of the Flood, with the top of the dome being washed away in the second half as the flood waters receded into the oceans.

The BBC and the Challenge of Psalm 2

The BBC and the Challenge of Psalm 2

In this video and article, Richard continues with the challenge of Psalm 2, now taking up the matter of the BBC, having preached on a number of occasions outside the BBC Headquarters in London. If the BBC prides itself in upholding truth and professionalism, then the challenge is that it should take a serious look at the evidence for the following, in all cases backed up by research and work on the part of experts:

• Modern miracles.
• Intelligen design.
• Genetic entropy.
• Soft tissues in Fossils, especially dionsaurs.
