The Bible Is In Direct Conflict With Evolution.

The Gospel of Luke records the genealogy of Jesus Christ. There are 77 generations from God to Jesus Christ.

- The first three generations reads as follows, according to Luke 3:38: "the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God." 

- The New Testament clearly states that Adam was the son of God, not the son of a monkey!

- Evolution is therefore in direct conflict with Christianity!

- Either Adam evolved from an ape, or Adam was the son of God!

- There is absolutely no middle ground!

- Either the Bible is rubbish, or Evolution is rubbish!

- We should throw away either the Bible, or Evolution.

- They are totally incompatible.

The Universe Is Only 6,000 Years Old.

When Did God Create The Universe?

- The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ created everything.

- Jesus Christ certainly knows when He created the Universe!

- This information is provided in the Bible for those who seek to know.

- We need to do some very simple detective work to find out when the Universe was created.

Summary of the 6,000 Year-Old Date of the Universe

We believe that the clear teaching of the Bible, specifically Genesis Chapter 1 and Luke Chapter 3, teaches that:

- The whole Universe was created on Day One of the Six days of Creation (Genesis 1:1-5).

- The Hebrew words for "dusk" and "dawn" used in Genesis 1 are clearly referring to 24 hour periods of time, not millions of years (see below).

- Adam was created on Day Six of the Six Days of Creation (Genesis 1:27).

- Adam was "the son of God," not the son of a monkey (Luke 3:38).

- Jesus Christ was born 77 generations after Adam, which is a period of approximately 4,000 years (Luke 3:23-38).

- Jesus Christ was born approximately 2,000 years ago.

- Therefore Adam was born approximately 6,000 years ago.

- Adam was born at the beginning of the Creation, according to Jesus Christ in Mark 10:6 and Matthew 19:4.

- The whole Universe was therefore also created approximately 6,000 years ago.

Warning about human traditions 

Jesus rebuked the Pharisees because of their traditional teaching Mark 7:13, "(you) make the Word of God of no effect through your tradition." 

In the last 150 years many people in the Western world have taught that Genesis is incorrect.
In fact, Jesus quoted 25 times from Genesis.

- Was Jesus flawed in His understanding of the Origins of the Universe?

- Did Jesus not understand Evolution?

- Were Evolutionists present at the Origin of the Universe?

- Do Evolutionists think they know more than Jesus Christ?

- The Bible is perfectly clear if you have an inquiring mind and are not prejudiced by previous teaching on Evolution!

Detailed Study Of The 6,000 Year-old Date Of The Universe

The Bible clearly states says that the Universe, Life, and Man were all created over six literal days, about 6,000 years ago. According to the Bible God took six 6 literal days to create everything.



1. The Whole Universe Was Created On Day One Of The Six Days Of Creation

The Bible is perfectly clear that the Universe was created on the First Day of Creation:

Genesis 1:1-5: "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. The Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day".

2. The Hebrew Words For "dusk" And "dawn" Used In Genesis 1 Are Clearly Referring To 24 Hour Periods Of Time, Not Millions Of Years

In Genesis 1:5, we read that "the evening and the morning were the first day". Similarly, each Day of Creation had an evening and a morning. Note that each day began with the evening, as is still practiced amongst Jewish people today.

- The Bible refers to 24 hour periods of time in each day

- The Bible refers to 24 hour periods of time in each of the Six Days of Creation.

- After each day, the Bible says "and the evening and the morning were the (first) day."

- Millions of years do not have evenings and mornings!
Many Christians insist that the six days of Genesis Chapter 1 are long periods of time.

- This makes them feel more comfortable, in light of supposed scientific "proof" of an "old" Universe.

The teaching that "Each day of Creation represents millions of years" a violation of Scripture

- The English word "evening" is the English translation of the Hebrew word "ereb" (Strong's reference 6153). The word "ereb" is used throughout the Old Testament, and always means: "evening" or "dusk."

- Similarly the English word "morning" is the translation of the Hebrew word "boqer" (Strong's reference 1242). The word "boqer" is used throughout the Old Testament and always means: "dawn" or "morning."

- It is simply not possible for the Hebrew words "ereb" and "boger" to mean millions of years.

The Fourth Commandment, and the reference to a 24 hour period of time

The Bible states that on the Seventh Day God rested. He said we should do the same! The Bible states in Exodus 20:8-11: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work. For in six days the LORD made the Heavens and the Earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it."

- God is not talking about millions of years!

- God is talking about literal 24-hour days!

- God created the Heavens and the Earth in 6 literal 24-hour periods.

- During each 24 hour period, the sun descended below the horizon, known as "dusk".

- During each 24 hour period, the sun ascended above the horizon, known as "dawn".

- Only one dusk and dawn is mentioned for each 24 hour period of time.

- Millions of years would have millions of dusks and dawns, but this is not what the Bible teaches.

- On the 7th day, God rested, and this 24-hour period was called the Sabbath.

- The Sabbath has always been a 24-hour period.

- The Sabbath today still starts at 6 pm amongst Jewish people.

- The remaining Six Days of Creation are also 24-hour periods, since God is not seeking to confuse us all!

- God chose to create everything in six literal 24-hour periods, and rested on the seventh-24 hour period, in order to create a seven-day pattern, which is explained in The Bible Is Supernatural on this web site.

- Children are not confused by the Creation account!

- Only sceptical adults are confused, because of their pre-conceptions!

The Pattern of Sevens in the Created world

The Pattern of Sevens is seen throughout the natural world which God created. In the natural world, we see:

- 7 days of the week

- 7 colours of the rainbow

- 7 notes in music

- There were also originally 7 layers in the atmosphere.

Now, since the Flood of Noah, 4,400 years ago, there are only 6 layers in the atmosphere, since one of the levels came down as flood water, according to Genesis, which we discuss later.

3. Adam Was Created On Day Six Of The Six Days Of Creation

Genesis 1:27,31, "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them…. Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day." 

According to the above Scripture, Adam was created on the Sixth Day of Creation.

4. Adam Was "the Son Of God," (not The Son Of A Monkey)

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ

- Dr Luke was a medical doctor, and the Gospel of Luke is named after him.

- He records, in Luke Chapter 3, the family tree of Jesus Christ.

- According to Luke Chapter 3, there were 77 generations from God to Jesus Christ.

- Here are some names you might recognise in the following list: Jesus, Joseph, Isaac, Abraham, Noah, Methuselah, Seth, and Adam. 

The Bible states in Luke 3:23-38: "Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Janna, the son of Joseph, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, the son of Maath, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Semei, the son of Joseph, the son of Judah, the son of Joannas, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er, the son of Jose, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonan, the son of Eliakim, the son of Melea, the son of Menan, the son of Mattathah, the son of Nathan, the son of David, the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God".

Important conclusion

The Bible states in Luke 3:38 that Adam was the son of God, not the son of a monkey!

5. Jesus Christ Was Born 77 Generations After Adam, Which Is A Period Of Approximately 4,000 Years 

According to Luke 3; 23-38 there are 77 generations from God, through, Adam, Seth, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Joseph to Jesus Christ.

The Number of Generations is 77, the numbers of Spiritual Perfection

The number Seven in the Bible is the number of Spiritual Perfection. 77 is obviously a very specific number of generations, directly under the control of the Holy Spirit.

The time interval between the Creation of Adam and the birth of Jesus Christ

- To obtain a rough figure for the time interval between the Creation of Adam and the Birth of Jesus Christ, let us make an estimate that each generation is approximately 50 years, allowing for the longer life-span of the patriarchs before Noah's Flood.

- It does not matter greatly how many years we chose for a generation, because we will still arrive at approximately the same conclusion!

- Please note that these dates are approximate!

- We need to multiply 77 generation by 50 years per generation:

77 GENERATIONS X 50 YEARS = 3,850 YEARS 

Conclusion

There are approximately 4,000 years between the Creation of Adam and the Birth of Jesus Christ.

6. Jesus Christ Was Born Approximately 2,000 Years Ago.

There are approximately 2,000 years between the Birth of Jesus Christ and our present time.

- This article was written in A.D. 2006.

- The prefix A.D. stands for Anno Domini, which is Latin for "the Year of Our Lord".

- According to our dating system, there are approximately 2,000 years between the Birth of Jesus Christ and the present time.

7. Therefore Adam Was Born Approximately 6,000 Years Ago.

- Adam was created approximately 4,000 years before Jesus Christ, or 4,000 B.C.

- Jesus Christ was born approximately 2,000 years ago.

- Therefore, by simple addition, the time from Adam to now is:

4,000 YEARS + 2,000 YEARS = 6,000 YEARS

Conclusion

Adam was created approximately 6,000 years ago

8. Adam Was Born At The Beginning Of The Creation, According To Jesus Christ

- Jesus Christ clearly stated that the Universe, Life, and Man were all created at the Beginning of Creation, in Mark 10:6 and Matthew 19:4.

- Jesus said in Mark 10:6, "From the beginning of the Creation, God made them male and female."

- Jesus said in Matthew 19:4, "Have you not read that He who made them at the Beginning made them male and female?"

9. The Whole Universe Was Therefore Also Created Approximately 6,000 Years Ago.

- Adam and Eve were created at the beginning of the Creation.

- Adam and Eve were created 6,000 years ago, approximately.

- Therefore the whole Universe was created 6,000 years ago, at the same time as Adam and Eve.

- In fact Adam and Eve were created on Day Six, and the Universe was created on Day One.

- These days were both at the beginning of the Creation.

Conclusion

The whole Universe was created approximately 6,000 years ago 

This Universe simply has to be young, unless Jesus Christ and Dr Luke were both liars.

Implications Of The 6,000 Year Old Planet Earth

- The Bible clearly states says that the Universe, Life, and Man were all created about 6,000 years ago.

- This is the clear teaching of the Bible.

- This brings the time scale of Creation into direct conflict with Evolution, and many compromising Christians too!

- The purpose of these two teachings on Creation and Evolution is to expose which one is incorrect!

Adam In The Bible.

Before we can establish the age of the Universe, according to the Bible, we need to establish that Adam was a real person. There is a tendency in many cultures to consign Adam to fairyland.
Actually Adam is one of the most important characters in the entire Bible.
The name Adam is mentioned a total of 30 times in the Bible. The name Adam appears 21 times in the Old Testament, and 9 times in the New Testament.

We either accept that Adam was a real person, or throw away the entire Bible. By contrast:

The title "John the Baptist" is mentioned only 14 times.
Joseph, the stepfather of Jesus Christ, is mentioned 15 times in the Bible (7 times in Matthew, 6 times in Luke, and 2 times in John.)
Adam is therefore mentioned more than the title "John the Baptist" and Jesus' stepfather Joseph combined!

Supernatural evidence that Adam was a real person

There is supernatural evidence that Adam was a real person. The following is used with permission from The Genealogy of Noah in Genesis Chapter 5 (from "The Bible: An Extraterrestrial Message" by Chuck Missler).

The ancestors of Noah are recorded in Genesis 5. There are a total of 10 names, each with a specific Hebrew meaning. The English translations for the Hebrew words are recorded below.

Jesus Christ Created Everything.

The Creation of the Heavens and Earth

The Bible begins with the majestic words: "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth", Genesis 1:1. The Hebrew word for "God" used here is "Elohiym." The word is plural, and literally means "Gods." Therefore Gods (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) created the Heavens and the Earth.

The Creation of Man

Genesis 1:26-27: "Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them". 

The Hebrew word for "God" used here is "Elohiym". The word is plural, and literally means "Gods." There were of course Three of Them: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. This is the first mention in the Bible of the Trinity.

How Long Has God Existed?

God is eternal, and has always existed. Time is the 4th dimension, which He created on the First Day of Creation (see under The Genesis Account Of Creation - The First Day). God lives in eternity, which is outside space time completely.

This is stated in the following 3 verses, amongst many others:

Isaiah 57:15: "Thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place." 

Revelation 1:8: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." 

Colossians 1:15-17, "Christ is the exact likeness of the unseen God. He existed before God made anything at all, and, in fact, Christ himself is the Creator who made everything in Heaven and Earth, the things we can see and the things we can't; the spirit world with its kings and kingdoms, its rulers and authorities; all were made by Christ for his own use and glory. He was before all else began and it is his power that holds everything together," TLB.

Does It Matter Whether This Universe Was Created By God, Or Evolved Spontaneously?

We believe that Christians should teach only Creation, because:

1. The Bible is at stake, since the Bible supports only Creation.

2. The credibility of Jesus Christ is at stake, since He is stated to be the Creator.

3. The Book of Genesis in particular is at stake, since Jesus quoted Genesis 25 times.

Evolution is not a benign belief that can comfortably co-exist with Creation

1. Either the Bible is rubbish, so we should discard both the Bible, and Jesus Christ.

2. Or Evolution is rubbish, and we should discard Evolution, and stop teaching it as fact.

3. There is no middle ground. God could not possibly have used Evolution, as will be discussed in Evolution is Impossible.

4. The Bible says in Luke 3:38 that Adam was "the son of God", not the son of a monkey!

5. If Adam was "the son of God" according to Luke 3:38, Evolution is teaching a non Biblical heresy.

6. Evolution is totally opposed to Biblical teaching, as we will attempt to demonstrate.

7. We believe that teaching on Evolution since 1859 is the main reason that the Western World has largely abandoned true Bible based Christianity.

The Theory Of Evolution.

The Theory of Evolution is discussed in great detail on this web site, in our teaching Evolution Is Impossible 

We believe that Evolution is a belief system, not a science.

1. Nobody was present at the Biblical Creation 6,000 years ago.

2. Nobody was present at the supposed "Big Bang", whether it was 20 billion or 12 billion years ago.

3. The two belief systems are about as far apart as it is possible to be, a difference of 3.3 million times in time scale alone, and a massive difference in probabilities.

4. If you asked the average child (or non-prejudiced adult) which of the two models, Creation or Evolution, was the more likely, there would be no contest at all!

5. The Theory of Evolution is outrageous to virtually everybody in Africa, India, Pakistan, South East Asia and South America, irrespective of their religious or cultural background.

6. Two thirds of the world's population believe that this planet was created.

7. There is a wide variation of opinion amongst those 4 billion people about how and when the world was created, but the cultures of approximately 4 billion people still believe in Creation.

8. University professors and teachers of Western "civilised" society believe they know better than everybody else, and are frantically trying to convert everybody else to their new religion called Evolution, all caused by a "god" called "chance".

9. In our Western First World society Creation is widely ridiculed.

10. In the rest of the world, predominantly Second and Third World societies, Evolution is regarded as absurd.

11. Evolutionists love to talk about "primitive life forms," which do not exist in the real world. If life is so "simple" and "primitive", these clever people should have no problem at all creating a "simple life form" in a laboratory. So far, they have not!

12. In the real world, all life is incredibly complex, as many scientists quoted in our teaching on Evolution Is Impossible have acknowledged.

13. Most people in Western cultures have been taught to accept unquestioningly certain principles, one of which is the Theory of Evolution.

14. The Theory of Evolution is a theory, not a fact.

15. The idea that life evolved by "Spontaneous Generation" out of nothing is a belief, and is contrary to the Law of Biogenesis.

16. No unambiguous information, acceptable in a science laboratory or a court of law, confirms the Creation of Life by means of any Evolutionary process.

17. If such information is available to you, or anyone you know of, world wide, please feel free to write your thesis, and claim your $250,000 offered by Dr Kent Hovind Click here.

18. Scientists have no clear data supporting the idea that life evolved over millions of years.

19. There is no known way to test experimentally the idea that the Origin of the Universe resulted from a ""Big Bang", or that life arose by "Spontaneous Generation."

20. Most of modern science, as taught in our Western schools and universities, is atheist when considering the Origins of Life.

21. Biblical accounts of the Origins of space, matter, time, energy, and life are considered to be "outside the realms of science." In fact the Bible is a very scientific book, as demonstrated in our teaching The Bible is Supernatural on this web site.

22. Unfortunately neither the Biblical Creation Model nor the Evolution Model can be subjected to the normal scientific experimental processes. They are both belief systems.

23. In order to have a serious discussion about either Creation or Evolution, an unprejudiced person will have to abandon concepts that Science has "proved Evolution."

24. Science cannot prove or disprove Creation or Evolution.

25. Instead we all have to make observations about our Solar system and our Planet Earth, and come to conclusions based on our observations. This does not involve the use of the normal scientific method.

26. To study both Creation and Evolution we have to use a different method, but this is the only method that is available to us. We can make observations and conclusions, but we cannot test these theories.

27. We believe that the process of actual scientific observation and conclusion very strongly supports Creation, as we intend to demonstrate.

Creation, The Biblical Account!

The Bible opens with these majestic words: "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth," Genesis 1:1.

* In the King James Version of the Bible, the word "Creation" appears 6 times. The Bible clearly teaches that:

* Jesus Christ created everything.

The whole Universe is only 6,000 years old (as we shall see).

The Bible speaks unequivocally about Creation, and that Jesus Christ Himself is the Creator. Here are a few selected passages:

John 1:1-4: "In the beginning was the Word (Jesus Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men."

Colossians 1:15,16: "He (Jesus Christ) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all Creation. For by Him all things were created that are in Heaven and that are on Earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist."

The Universe

The word "Universe" literally means, "One spoken word". The Bible clearly teaches throughout Genesis that God spoke, and it was so.

The 6,000 year-old date of the Universe

We believe that the clear teaching of the Bible, specifically Genesis Chapter 1 and Luke Chapter 3, teaches that:

* The whole Universe was created on Day One of the Six days of Creation (Genesis 1:1-5).

* The Hebrew words for "dusk" and "dawn" used in Genesis 1 are clearly referring to 24 hour periods of time, not millions of years (see below).

* Adam was created on Day Six of the Six Days of Creation (Genesis 1:27).

* Adam was "the son of God," not the son of a monkey (Luke 3:38).

* Jesus Christ was born 77 generations after Adam, which is a period of approximately 4,000 years (Luke 3:23-38).

* Jesus Christ was born approximately 2,000 years ago.

* Therefore Adam was born approximately 6,000 years ago.

* Adam was born at the beginning of the Creation, according to Jesus Christ in Mark 10:6 and Matthew 19:4.

* The whole Universe was therefore also created approximately 6,000 years ago.

* This reasoning is actually very simple and straight forward, and is discussed in detail in the section The Universe Is Only 6,000 Years Old

If this 6,000 year-old date of the Origins of the Universe is completely unacceptable to you, it is probably because:

* You have not been exposed to full Biblical teaching before, but have only been exposed to teaching on Evolution.

* You have been exposed to other Creation theories that try to conform to Evolution theories. See under The Bible Is In Direct Conflict With Evolution.

* You have decided that Carbon Dating has "proved" that the Universe is billions of years old. This is also discussed under CARBON DATING. 

We invite you to study this subject with an open mind. Many people find this almost impossible. This may be because previous exposure to teaching on Evolution that has subconsciously prejudiced their thinking.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE, AND HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN

Dr Richard Kent is a retired medical doctor. What happens when we die? In this teaching, Richard provides detailed medical and Biblical information about the process of death. He has researched over 300 people who have died, and have met Jesus Christ. These patients were often involved in road traffic accidents, or had heart attacks, or strokes, or died on the operating table. Their spirits left their bodies before they were resuscitated. Many of these patients report having visited either Heaven or Hell. Detailed medical evidence is presented from many medical doctors, as well as Biblical teaching on the subject. Richard also discusses the many returns from the dead in the Bible. Very clear and detailed instructions are given about how exactly to be "born again," as described by Jesus Christ in John 3:3, and John 3:7, in order to go to Heaven, and avoid Hell.

EVANGELISM

How to very easily speak to other people about Jesus Christ, and see amazing results! This simple method can be taught in 10 minutes, and will completely transform your church! Richard and Val have worked with many churches in many countries teaching practical evangelism. They will work with your people, in your church, entirely free! For full details click here.

CREATION: THE GENESIS ACCOUNT

The whole Universe and Adam and Eve were created by Jesus Christ, only 6,000 years ago approximately, according to the Bible. Richard gives a detailed and scientific account of the Genesis Six Days of Creation, and the young universe, exactly as the Bible says. Dinosaurs and Carbon Dating are also discussed. This is a "high tech" teaching with multiple images, but is not difficult to understand. Much of the Creation and Evolution research is based on the teachings of Dr Kent Hovind, of Florida, USA, as well as the insights of Dr Chuck Missler, USA, and Dr David Rosevear, UK. For full details click here.

EVOLUTION IS IMPOSSIBLE

Richard gives amazing information proving that evolution could never have happened. Using material with kind permission from Dr Kent Hovind, this teaching includes detailed evidence from many sources to show that evolution is completely impossible. This covers fundamental laws in Physics, such as the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, as well as observations about our Solar System, and Planet Earth. Also discussed are: Comments from famous scientists, the structure of DNA, Charles Darwin's book, "The Origin of the Species, and much more besides. This is a "high tech" teaching with multiple images, but is not difficult to understand. For full details click here.

THE AMAZING ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES OF RON WYATT

Ron Wyatt's amazing archaeological discoveries: Noah's Ark, Sodom & Gomorrah, the Crossing of the Red Sea, Mount Sinai and the Ark of the Covenant. This amazing information is incredibly faith lifting. Much of Ron Wyatt's original work has been confirmed by Professor Lennart Moller from Sweden, in his famous book "The Exodus Case". Lennart Moller is a personal friend of Richard and Val. "The Exodus Case" includes the work of 7 academic scientists, all of whom are experts in their fields. The Turkish government has built a visitors centre for Noah's Ark. Richard proves the Blood of the Messiah on the Mercy Seat in 9 different ways from the Bible. For full details click here.

THE MEDICAL AND PROPHETIC ASPECTS OF THE CRUCIFIXION

Fulfilled Old Testament prophecies concerning the Crucifixion are discussed, as well as the detailed medical and physiological aspects of the Crucifixion. The New Covenant is explained, with the complete fulfilment of the Old Covenant by Jesus Christ. Richard explains the Blood of Jesus Christ falling on the Mercy Seat, and proves this in 9 different ways from the Bible. This is a very detailed account of every possible aspect of the Crucifixion, with virtually every medical aspect covered from a former medical doctor. For full details click here.

THE SHROUD OF TURIN PROVES THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST!

The photo-negative image on the Shroud was caused by nuclear radiation, as recently demonstrated by Dr Accetta. We believe that this radiation was emitted at the Resurrection. The carbon dating tests performed in 1988 correctly demonstrated that there is an excess of the radioactive isotope C-14 on the Shroud for a First Century Shroud. This is interpreted as the Shroud being a fraud. However there is an alternative interpretation. Richard explains the 12 other scientific and forensic tests which demonstrate that the Shroud is the authentic burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Our own interpretation is that the excess radiation is consistent with a First Century Shroud which was present at the Resurrection, and received additional radiation at this time. The photo-negative Image was caused by the radiation, and proves the Resurrection. This teaching demonstrates the detailed research of a forensic pathologist, nuclear physicists, and many botanists and researchers from many other backgrounds. This is ground- breaking research proving the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and is incredibly exciting! For full details click here.

THE BIBLE IS SUPERNATURAL

Richard gives detailed scientific evidence for the authenticity of the Bible, using material from many of the other lectures, as well as new material. Subjects discussed include Science and the Bible, Bible Prophecy, Bible Numerics, the Bible Codes, Creation, Archaeology, and the Shroud of Turin. For anybody who ever doubted the supernatural origin of the Bible, this is a life changing lecture. For full details click here.

WHAT DOES GOD THINK ABOUT ABORTION?

Life starts at conception, as proved from the Bible. This is a detailed lecture on life in the womb, using the material of Dr Tahira Saleem, a Consultant Gynaecologist in Pakistan, who also has a Doctorate in Divinity. The miraculous development of a baby in the womb is discussed with full colour images. Life in the womb is explored from a Biblical perspective. This teaching includes a few images of aborted babies, and is therefore NOT suitable for children. This teaching addresses such questions as "What does God think about abortion?", "When does life begin?" and "What should Christians do about this very sensitive yet very important issue?" For full details click here.

THE RAPTURE IN THIS GENERATION

Jesus Christ said we would not know the hour of his coming, but we would know the generation of His coming! This is almost certainly the generation that will see the Rapture of genuine believers, the Tribulation, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. We believe that the true church will be removed from Planet Earth before the Tribulation period, a doctrine commonly known as the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. This is conclusively proved in a very detailed Bible study. What are the multiple signs pointing to our own time period for the Rapture? This is a life-changing lecture. If the return of Jesus Christ is imminent, how should genuine believers live in the light of this truth? For full details click here.

CHRISTIANS AND MONEY. THIS IS NOT AN APPEAL!

A detailed Bible study on God's plan for our finances, with all our needs supplied. This is not the "prosperity gospel!" Richard starts with a very detailed look at the finances of Jesus Christ during His Earthly ministry, and His many miracles concerning money. How should Christians manage their finances to honour God, and to benefit as many people as possible? Richard and Val practice what they preach! They have so far ministered in 24 countries, and never charge their hosts a penny! All the material on this web site is entirely free. Richard and Val pay for all their flights, accommodation when necessary, and all incidental expenses. They work out of their own registered UK charity. If Christians truly put God in charge of their financial affairs, they will quickly discover that many people, including themselves, are blessed financially as a result! For full details click here.

WE HAVE A MIRACLE WORKING GOD!.

This teaching looks at miracles in the Bible, including detailed studies of the miracles of Jesus, Elijah, Elisha, and Zachariah. Richard and Val have had a number of miracles of their own. Val was blind in one eye after a retinal vein thrombosis, but now has perfect sight. They have had many other miracles, and they give full details of them. More importantly, they give detailed Biblical guidelines for receiving your own miracle. For full details click here.

The Sinner’s Prayer.

Pray this prayer, or something very similar, in your heart. 

Jesus loves you so much that He died for you, so that you could go to Heaven, and not to Hell, when you die. 

Sincerely, and slowly, pray the following to God the Father, Who loves you. Jesus looked up to Heaven when He prayed, so you do not have to shut your eyes! 

You will hear God the Holy Spirit speak to you, using your conscience, twice as you pray this prayer.

1. Loving Father, I want to be sure that when I die I do not go to Hell. I want to go to Heaven, to live with you forever.

2. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for me personally, and that He rose again from the dead after 3 days.

3. I need to be born again, just like Jesus Christ taught in the Bible (see John 3:3 and John 3:7).

4. Please forgive me for all the sins I have ever committed. Please show them to me now, using my conscience.

5. Pause and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you, which sounds exactly like your conscience.

6. I ask forgiveness for all of them.

7. I repent of those sins. I will stop doing them. Please help me to stop doing them.

8. I need to forgive. Please show me, using my conscience, the names, or the faces, of those people I need to forgive.

9. Pause and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you, which sounds exactly like your conscience.

10. I forgive everyone who has sinned against me, especially (name those people who the Holy Spirit revealed to you).

11. Please forgive me because Jesus Christ, Your Son, died on the Cross for me. According to 1 John 1:7, the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses me from all of my sin. (The Bible says, "If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin," 1 John 1:7)

12. I thank You that I am now forgiven, according to the Holy Bible.

13. Please now send the Holy Spirit to live in me.

14. I receive the Holy Spirit. Thank you I am born again by the Holy Spirit.

15. I believe that Jesus Christ is my Personal Saviour.

16. Thank you that I have changed kingdoms from the kingdom of Satan, to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

17. Thank You that You are now my Father. I belong to you, and I now have an eternal home in Heaven, with You.

18. I commit the rest of my life to Jesus Christ.

19. Please show me how You want me to spend the rest of my life.

20. Please show me how I should live, and help me to understand the Bible.

21. Please put me in touch with other genuine born again Christians.

Our Conscience Is God The Holy Spirit Convicting Each One Of Us Of Our Sins.

After Jesus was baptised by his cousin, John the Baptist, "The Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from Heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased," Luke 3:22

A dove in the natural world is a very gentle bird, and will fly away if disturbed. All humans have a conscience, which pure science can never explain. Our conscience is God the Holy Spirit, speaking quietly to each of us throughout our lives. If we persist in sin, the Holy Spirit, like a dove, will depart. This is how some people seem to become so insensitive to sin in their lives.

In John 8:7-9 a woman was caught in adultery, The Jews were about to execute the woman, and Jesus said, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first. And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one." Note that the onlookers were "convicted by their conscience."

Later Jesus said, at the Last Supper, that the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, would convict everyone of sin: "And when He (the Holy Spirit) has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement," John 16:8.

The voice of the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin

The voice of the Holy Spirit is gentle, like a dove. His voice is identical to your conscience, since God speaks to us using our conscience. When you pray, you might like to approach God like a little child, and ask Him to show you the sin in your life. He will.

You will hear the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit revealing sin in your life, and those things in your life He wants you to stop doing. He may reveal things from many years ago, or things about your present lifestyle He wants you to change.

He will also reveal to you those people who you need to forgive. You must forgive anyone who has sinned against you, or your family, in any way. Jesus said, in Matthew 6:15, 'If you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.' According to Jesus, you must therefore forgive everyone, or God will not forgive you.

Why Jesus Christ Came To Planet Earth 2000 Years Ago.

1. To reveal Truth

Jesus said, 'I am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me,' (John 14:6.) 'He who has seen Me, has seen the Father,' John 14:9.

2. To overcome Satan

'For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the Devil,' 1 John 3:8.

3. To die for us 

'The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many,' Mark 10:45.

Why was Jesus crucified?

John the Baptist, Jesus' cousin, said about Jesus, 'Behold the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world' John 1:29. The Blood of Jesus, spilt at the Crucifixion, is the Blood Sacrifice to atone for our personal sins, as stated in 1 John 1:7. 'If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.' 

How may I be forgiven for my sins?

1. Forgive others 
'For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses,' Matthew 6:14-15.

2. Forgive and love, especially your enemies
'Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,' Matthew 5:44.

3. Ask forgiveness from God the Father for your own sins
'If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness,' 1 John 1:9.

What Should I Do Now I Am Born Again?

1. JOIN A CHURCH OF BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIANS

There are many Bible believing Christians all over the world. Not all churches believe that the Bible is the supernatural word of God, and do not interpret the Bible literally! Jesus did! Great care needs to be taken in choosing the right church!

This is very important, since you will rapidly find that, as a born again Christian, you are in a minority group! The Bible does encourage believers to meet together regularly (see Hebrews 10:25).

Please ask the Holy Spirit to help you, because your choice of church is extremely important. Also ask the advice of local believers.

Here are some things to look for in finding the right church for you.

A church that places the authority of the Bible above everything else

This is NOT an easy thing to discern! You do need help on this! A good test would be to try to discover where the proposed church stands doctrinally on:

- The Supernatural Inspiration of the Bible.
- The Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
- The existence of Satan.
- The Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- The existence of Heaven and Hell.
- The Creation by God of the entire Universe.
- Jesus Christ's requirement for us to be born again.
- Believer's Baptism in water.
- The Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
- The Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
- Regular plans for evangelism.
- A desire to support the poor and needy in the world.
- The place of Israel in God's purposes.
- Sex outside marriage.
- Abortions.

The Bible is perfectly clear on all of these issues, but there are large number of churches that interpret the Bible in a different way. For example, the Bible is very clear about sex outside marriage, but many churches avoid discussing this, for fear of upsetting people.

Other excellent qualities, consistent with New Testament teachings, are:

- A welcoming church.
- A church that provides good Bible based teaching.
- A church that has a number of leaders, rather than one.
- A church that has absolute integrity in all financial matters, including the publication of annual accounts. You may be giving money to the church, so it will be helpful for you to know where this money is going to.

Here are some things that are much less important.

- The church building: The churches in the book of Acts met in homes! The church is the people, not the building. There is nothing wrong in nice buildings, but these are unimportant to God.
- Special clothing for leaders of the church. Of course it is respectful to God to be appropriately dressed, but special clothing is unimportant.

Here are some things to avoid at all costs:

- A church that does not believe in the absolute authority of the Bible.
- A church that teaches from anything other than the Bible, or Bible inspired texts.
- A church where leaders exert undue control of the lives of individuals within the church.
- Any lack of financial integrity within the church.

2. READ THE BIBLE EVERY DAY



This is one way God speaks to us. The Bible is not a simple book, and it will take you a lifetime to fully understand all the teachings within the Scriptures. However, regular Bible reading, or listening to the Bible, is essential. God will often highlight verses within the Bible to speak into your circumstances directly.

3. LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY TO YOUR CONSCIENCE

Your conscience is God guiding you every day, and is an extremely important part of your "guidance system". Your conscience is not a loud voice, but is usually a very gentle voice. This is why it is so important to spend time quietly every day. If you have doubts about a certain action, do not ignore your conscience. Our Heavenly Father is a loving Father, who is warning you not to go down a particular planned course of action.

4. PRAY REGULARLY, ASKING GOD'S GUIDANCE FOR ALL MATTERS IN YOUR LIFE

The Bible states, "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil" Proverbs 3:6-7.

5. TRY NOT TO SIN IN ANY AREA OF YOUR LIFE

We live in such a sinful society that many things that the world considers completely normal, are actually very sinful. It will probably take some time before you have sorted your life out!

6. HAVE REGULAR BIBLE TEACHING

Regular Bible teaching is extremely important. Under Resources towards the end of this book we have given Bible teachers who have inspired us. Fortunately, there are many excellent Bible teachers, and you will probably quickly find your own favourites.

7. SEEK TO SPEAK TO OTHERS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BECOMING A CHRISTIAN. 

You may have seen the film Schindler's List, the harrowing true story of how Oskar Schindler, a German businessman, who saved over a thousand Jews from almost certain death in concentration camps in World War 2.

It is important to realise that Salvation is a very precious gift, bought by Jesus Christ at enormous cost. Only those who are born again will go to Heaven (see John 3:3 and John 3:7). Everyone else will not, according to Jesus Christ.
Born again Christians are charged by Jesus Christ to 'Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,' (Matthew 28:19.)

CONGRATULATIONS AT BECOMING A GENUINE BORN AGAIN BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST!

Congratulations on becoming a genuine born again Christian! 

The most important decision anyone can make in their lives is to become born again, and become a follower Jesus Christ.

If you have just prayed that prayer as a result of reading this book, why not contact us immediately! We would love to hear from you. Please e-mail or write. 

God bless you!
With warmest wishes,

God Loves Us, And Wants Us To Go To Heaven.

The Bible states: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life," John 3:16.

God loved us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die on the Cross. If we believe this, repent of our sins, forgive others, accept God's forgiveness, and follow Jesus Christ, then we are assured of eternal life in Heaven.

In 2 Peter 3:9, we read, "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance". 

God does not want anyone to go to Hell, but sadly, according to Jesus Christ, multitudes do, simply by failing to take from God the free offer of eternal life in Heaven, on God's terms.

In Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus said, "Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to Hell is broad, and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose its easy way. But the Gateway to Life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it" TLB.

What Exactly Is A Genuine Christian?

1. A Christian is not a "good person", but a reformed bad person

A Christian is not someone who tries to be good, attends church, reads the Bible, prays, or does good to others, although all of these are commendable. These things start to happen after someone has become a Christian, by being born again. Christians naturally want to be together, and spend time with each other, because other Christians are their new family in Jesus Christ.

2. We are saved by grace

This means that nobody can be good enough to "earn" a place in Heaven. 'For by grace you have been saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves: It is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast,' Ephesians 2:8-9.

3. A Christian is someone who has the Holy Spirit living in them

When we are born again, we receive the Holy Spirit. At the Last Supper, Jesus said, "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you". John 14:16-17. Jesus was referring to the Holy Spirit, who he would send to live in all believers.

After the Resurrection, Jesus appeared in the Upper Room, as recorded in John 20:19-22, "Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you." Now when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit". 
Since then, all believers receive the Holy Spirit when they are born again. Paul confirms this in 1 Corinthians 6:19, 'Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit Who is in you, whom you have from God,'

4. A Christian is someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. 

Jesus said, "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him," John 14:21. The first thing that Jesus commands from all of His potential disciples is, 'You must be born again", John 3:7.

5. Why must I be born again? 

Because Jesus Christ, the Son of God, said so, in John 3:3. 'Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.' To be born again is to receive the Holy Spirit, God Himself, Who comes to live in us as we pray something very similar to the "Sinner's prayer" in the next chapter.

6. When we are born again we are new people

"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new", 2 Corinthians 5:17. The Bible says that when we are born again by the Holy Spirit, we become brand new people inside! We look the same on the outside, but the Holy Spirit comes to live in us. He makes us brand new on the inside, with new motivations, new desires, a new way of living, and a new perspective on life.

7. The Person of the Holy Spirit 

The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity. He is Holy, and He will not come and live in any of us until we are forgiven by God. The Holy Spirit is the creative power of the Trinity.

8. If I am not born again, whose kingdom am I in?

We are all born into the kingdom of Satan, according to the Bible. Jesus said to priests, in John 8:44, 'You are of your father, the devil.' 

9. What happens to those who are not born again?

Jesus Himself is perfectly clear on this subject. He said, "Unless a man is born again, he will not enter the kingdom of Heaven," John 3:3. The truth, according to Jesus Christ, is that most people do not go to Heaven. Jesus said, in Matthew 7:13-14, "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."

10. Our ultimate destiny, Heaven or Hell, are decided in this life. 

Jesus Christ and the repentant thief are now in Paradise, and will be there for ever. The unrepentant thief is in Hell, and will be there forever too.

The main purpose of this book and web site is that you may end up in Heaven, and not Hell.

Only you can make this choice.

The Shroud Of Turin Actually Proves The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ.

The Shroud of Turin has been a mystery for many centuries, and is discussed in great detail in our teaching on THE SHROUD OF TURIN PROVES THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST on this web site.

We believe that the Image on the Shroud can be explained by the Bible, and an application of known laws of Theoretical Physics.

We believe that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is proved by the following:

1. We believe that the Image on the Shroud of Turin is fundamentally a scorch in photo-negative, caused by radiation, with the appearance of an X-ray, but with additional distance imaging properties.

2. We believe that the photo-negative Image on the Shroud of Turin was produced at the Resurrection by the emission of soft X-rays.

3. We believe that the Physics of the Resurrection was a phenomenon not dissimilar to the Physics of the Transfiguration, with the radiation of light as a major feature, as Jesus Christ assumed His Glorified Body on both occasions.

4. We believe that the soft X-rays were released at the Resurrection, caused by the intense radiation of light and subatomic particles, probably moving at the speed of light.

5. We believe that the intense emission of light and subatomic particles caused vaporisation of the molecules within the Shroud to the elements Nitrogen and Carbon.

6. We believe that the Nitrogen and Carbon were then converted to radioactive C-14, as happens every day in the atmosphere of Planet Earth.

7. We believe that the incorrect Carbon Dating of the Shroud (approximately 1325 A.D) is explained by an incorrect interpretation of the cause of the additional radioactive molecules of Carbon (C-14) present in the Shroud.

8. Additional C-14 is present in the Shroud of Turin, as demonstrated by the 1998 experiments on the Shroud.

9. We believe that rather than proving that the Shroud is dated 1325 A.D. approximately, it actually proves the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

10. As explained on our web site the additional radioactive C-14 molecules could be explained by either the Shroud being a 14th Century Shroud, or by the Shroud being a First Century Shroud which has been subjected to additional radiation.

11. As proved by Dr Accetta, the image on the Shroud was almost certainly caused by radiation.

12. Since there are 12 other scientific tests that indicate that the Shroud is a First Century Shroud, it does seem that the Shroud must have been subjected to radiation, causing the photo-negative Image.

13. The Image on the Shroud was therefore almost certainly caused by radiation released at the time of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

14. The scientists who interpreted the findings of the 1988 Carbon dating tests on the Shroud clearly did not take into consideration the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, which released radiation, causing the photo-negative Image on the Shroud.

How To Be Born Again.

How can I be "born again" so that I go to Heaven when I die?

To be born again, we all must pray a simple prayer. In this prayer there are various simple things you must do, without leaving anything out.

- Acknowledge to God that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for you personally, and rose from the dead.

- Ask God's forgiveness for all of the sins that you have ever committed.

- Turn away from and stop any known sin. This is known as Repentance.

- Forgive anyone who has ever sinned against you, or any member of your family.

- Ask God's forgiveness because the Blood of Jesus Christ cleans you personally from sin.

- Ask God to send the Holy Spirit to come to live in you.

- Acknowledge to God that Jesus Christ is your Personal Saviour. 

Is there anything else I need to know before praying this prayer? 

Yes. It is essential to be aware of some Biblical concepts before this prayer is prayed. These are explained below. The Sinner's Prayer is in a following chapter.

What is Repentance? 

The Bible says we are all sinful. The Bible states: "All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God', Romans 3:23. We must stop anything sinful, and ask forgiveness from God Who is Holy, and will not allow sin in His presence. There are TWO parts to repentance! One part is to ask forgiveness for the sin, the other is to stop doing it. Half the job doesn't count! It is essential to repent properly, which means spending some time thinking about your life.

What in practical simple terms does this mean for each one of us?

In simple terms this means that we should obey the Ten Commandments. Here is a shortened version of the Ten Commandments:

Exodus 20:3 -17 (shortened, from The Living Bible)

1. You may worship no other god than Me.

2. You shall not make yourselves any idols, and you must never bow or worship idols in any way.

3. You shall not use the name of Jehovah your God irreverently.

4. Remember to observe the Sabbath as a holy day.

5. Honour your father and mother.

6. You must not murder.

7. You must not commit adultery.

8. You must not steal.

9. You must not lie.

10. You must not be envious of your neighbour's house, or anything else he has.



The first commandment is that we must only worship the God of the Bible. We must all remove any false idols in our lives, such our money, our careers, our homes, our appearance, alcohol, drugs, any addictions, or anything else that is more important to us than God Himself. We must stop completely any form of sin such as swearing, murder, any form of sexual immorality, theft, lying, and lust. We all have a conscience, which is God's voice within us (see below). God uses our conscience to show each one of us what He does not approve of.

Who is Jesus Christ?

The Bible is perfectly clear the Jesus Christ is God. According to John Chapter 1, Jesus was present right at the beginning of Creation, and He made everything. Life is in Him. To those who receive Him, Jesus gives the right to become a child of God. This is explained in the opening verses of the Gospel of John.

'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to his own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believed in His name.' (John 1:1-4, 10-12.)

Believe that Jesus is the Christ

The Bible is perfectly clear that Jesus Christ, and He alone, is the Messiah. We must acknowledge this to God the Father in prayer. Jesus clarified that He is the Messiah in the following text: 'The high priest asked him, saying unto Him, 'Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?' Jesus said, 'I am.' (Mark 14:61-62.)

True faith in Jesus Christ will give us eternal life in Him in Heaven, as stated in the following famous verse: 'God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life.' (John 3:16.)

The Greek word used here implies having faith in Jesus Christ. It is more than an intellectual acknowledgement that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Many people vaguely believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. However, true faith in Jesus Christ is much more than this. It is a true faith in Jesus Christ, which can only come after a true conversion experience, and receiving the Holy Spirit.

We need to know and believe further facts about Jesus Christ, discussed in the next chapter.

The Resurrections In The Bible

There are many instances in the Bible of resurrection from the dead. Jesus said that there was definitely life after death. At the resurrection of Lazarus, Jesus said to his sister Martha, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die," John 11:25-26. 

IN THE NEW TESTAMENT: 
1. Jesus raised the widow of Nain's son to life. 

2. Jesus raised Lazarus to life. 

3. Jesus raised Jairus' daughter to life. 

4. Paul was stoned to death, and came back to life. 

5. Peter raised Dorcas to life. 

6. Paul raised Eutychus to life. 

7. At the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, many Old Testament saints were resurrected. 

8. Jesus Christ Himself was famously resurrected. 

IN THE OLD TESTAMENT:

1. Elijah raised a child to life. 

2. Elisha raised a child to life. 

THE RAISING OF THE WIDOW OF NAIN'S SON BY JESUS

Jesus stopped a funeral procession, and raised a young man to life. This is described in Luke 7:11-17 TLB:

"Not long afterwards Jesus went with his disciples to the village of Nain, with the usual great crowd at his heels. A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The boy who had died was the only son of his widowed mother, and many mourners from the village were with her. When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with sympathy. "Don't cry!" he said. Then he walked over to the coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped. "Laddie," he said, "come back to life again." Then the boy sat up and began to talk to those around him! And Jesus gave him back to his mother. A great fear swept the crowd, and they exclaimed with praises to God, "A mighty prophet has risen among us," and, "We have seen the hand of God at work today." The report of what he did that day raced from end to end of Judea and even out across the borders." 

THE RAISING OF JAIRUS' DAUGHTER BY JESUS 

A 12 year old little girl died, and Jesus raised her back to life. This is described in Luke 8:41,42, 49-54 TLB: "A man named Jairus, a leader of a Jewish synagogue, came and fell down at Jesus' feet and begged him to come home with him, for his only child was dying, a little girl twelve years old. Jesus went with him, pushing through the crowds. A messenger arrived from the Jairus' home with the news that the little girl was dead. "She's gone," he told her father; "there's no use troubling the Teacher now." But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to the father, "Don't be afraid! Just trust me, and she'll be all right." When they arrived at the house, Jesus wouldn't let anyone into the room except Peter, James, John, and the little girl's father and mother. The home was filled with mourning people, but he said, "Stop the weeping! She isn't dead; she is only asleep!" This brought scoffing and laughter, for they all knew she was dead. Then he took her by the hand and called, "Get up, little girl!" And at that moment her life returned and she jumped up! "Give her something to eat!" he said. Her parents were overcome with happiness, but Jesus insisted that they did not tell anyone the details of what had happened." 

THE RAISING OF LAZARUS BY JESUS

The raising of Lazarus, after 4 days in the tomb, is perhaps one of Jesus' most famous miracles, so we have reproduced the entire story, from John 11:17-46 TLB: 

"When they arrived at Bethany, they were told that Lazarus had already been in his tomb for four days. Bethany was only a couple of miles down the road from Jerusalem, and many of the Jewish leaders had come to pay their respects and to console Martha and Mary on their loss. When Martha got word that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him. But Mary stayed at home. Martha said to Jesus, "Sir, if you had been here, my brother wouldn't have died.

And even now it's not too late, for I know that God will bring my brother back to life again, if you will only ask him to." Jesus told her, "Your brother will come back to life again." "Yes," Martha said, "when everyone else does, on Resurrection Day." Jesus told her, "I am the one who raises the dead and gives them life again. Anyone who believes in me, even though he dies like anyone else, shall live again. He is given eternal life for believing in me and shall never perish. Do you believe this, Martha?"

"Yes, Master," she told him. "I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one we have so long awaited." Then she left him and returned to Mary and, calling her aside from the mourners, told her, "He is here and wants to see you." So Mary went to him at once.

Now Jesus had stayed outside the village, at the place where Martha met him. When the Jewish leaders who were at the house trying to console Mary saw her leave so hastily, they assumed she was going to Lazarus' tomb to weep; so they followed her.

When Mary arrived where Jesus was, she fell down at his feet, saying, "Sir, if you had been here, my brother would still be alive." When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jewish leaders wailing with her, he was moved with indignation and deeply troubled. "Where is he buried?" he asked them. They told him, "Come and see." Tears came. "They were close friends," the Jewish leaders said. "See how much he loved him."

But some said, "This fellow healed a blind man-why couldn't he keep Lazarus from dying?"

And again Jesus was moved with deep anger. Then they came to the tomb. It was a cave with a heavy stone rolled across its door.

"Roll the stone aside," Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man's sister, said, "By now the smell will be terrible, for he has been dead four days." "But didn't I tell you that you will see a wonderful miracle from God if you believe?" Jesus asked her. So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to Heaven and said, "Father, thank you for hearing me. (You always hear me, of course, but I said it because of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.)" Then he shouted, "Lazarus, come out!"

And Lazarus came-bound up in the grave cloth, his face muffled in a head swath. Jesus told them, "Unwrap him and let him go!" And so at last many of the Jewish leaders who were with Mary and saw it happen, finally believed on him. But some went away to the Pharisees and reported it to them." 

PETER RAISED DORCAS TO LIFE 

Peter had been present when Jesus raised Jairus' daughter to life. After the Resurrection of Jesus, Peter did the same for Dorcas, a believer in Joppa. This is described in Acts 9:36-42 TLB: "In the city of Joppa there was a woman named Dorcas ("Gazelle"), a believer who was always doing kind things for others, especially for the poor. About this time she became ill and died. Her friends prepared her for burial and laid her in an upstairs room. But when they learned that Peter was nearby at Lydda, they sent two men to beg him to return with them to Joppa. This he did; as soon as he arrived, they took him upstairs where Dorcas lay. The room was filled with weeping widows who were showing one another the coats and other garments Dorcas had made for them. But Peter asked them all to leave the room; then he knelt and prayed. Turning to the body he said, "Get up, Dorcas," and she opened her eyes! And when she saw Peter, she sat up! He gave her his hand and helped her up and called in the believers and widows, presenting her to them. The news raced through the town, and many believed in the Lord."

PAUL RAISED EUTYCHUS TO LIFE

Eutychus fell to his death during a long sermon given by Paul. Paul promptly raised him back to life, and carried on preaching! This is described in Acts 20:7-10 TLB: "On Sunday we gathered for a Communion service, with Paul preaching. And since he was leaving the next day, he talked until midnight! The upstairs room where we met was lighted with many flickering lamps; and as Paul spoke on and on, a young man named Eutychus, sitting on the windowsill, went fast asleep and fell three stories to his death below. Paul went down and took him into his arms. "Don't worry," he said, "he's all right!" And he was! What a wave of awesome joy swept through the crowd! They all went back upstairs and ate the Lord's Supper together; then Paul preached another long sermon-so it was dawn when he finally left them!"

THE RESURRECTION OF OLD TESTAMENT SAINTS

After Jesus died, many Old Testament saints were resurrected, and later appeared to many people in Jerusalem. This is described in Matthew 27:50-53 TLB: "Then Jesus shouted out again, dismissed his spirit, and died. And look! The curtain secluding the Holiest Place in the Temple was split apart from top to bottom; and the Earth shook, and rocks broke, and tombs opened, and many godly men and women who had died came back to life again. After Jesus' resurrection, they left the cemetery and went into Jerusalem, and appeared to many people there." 

ELIJAH RAISED A CHILD TO LIFE

Elijah had been staying in the home of the widow of Zarephath, and her son. There had been a famine, and God had provided food for them through the prophet Elijah. However, one day the son died, and Elijah raised him back to life. This is described in Kings 17:17-18:1 TLB:

"One day the woman's son became sick and died. "Oh man of God," she cried, "what have you done to me? Have you come here to punish my sins by killing my son?" "Give him to me," Elijah replied. And he took the boy's body from her and carried it upstairs to the guest room where he lived, and laid the body on his bed, and then cried out to the Lord, "O Lord my God, why have you killed the son of this widow with whom I am staying?" And he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried out to the Lord, "O Lord my God, please let this child's spirit return to him." And the Lord heard Elijah's prayer; and the spirit of the child returned, and he became alive again! Then Elijah took him downstairs and gave him to his mother. "See! He's alive!" he beamed. "Now I know for sure that you are a prophet," she told him afterward, "and that whatever you say is from the Lord!" 

ELISHA RAISED A CHILD TO LIFE

Elisha raised a dead child aged 12 to life, after he had died in his mother's arms, possibly of a brain haemorrhage. This is described in 2 Kings 4:31-37 TLB: "Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff upon the child's face, but nothing happened. There was no sign of life. He returned to meet Elisha and told him, "The child is still dead." When Elisha arrived, the child was indeed dead, lying there upon the prophet's bed. He went in and shut the door behind him and prayed to the Lord. Then he lay upon the child's body, placing his mouth upon the child's mouth, and his eyes upon the child's eyes, and his hands upon the child's hands. And the child's body began to grow warm again! Then the prophet went down and walked back and forth in the house a few times; returning upstairs, he stretched himself again upon the child. This time the little boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes! Then the prophet summoned Gehazi. "Call her!" he said. And when she came in, he said, "Here's your son!" She fell to the floor at his feet and then picked up her son and went out".
