Summary

What did Jesus mean when He said the Old Testament was all about Him? Could figures like Moses, Joshua, and Joseph actually point directly to Him? Once you see how the Bible connects from Genesis to Revelation, you’ll realize it could only have been inspired by a Divine Author.Frank explains how God’s plan for redemption was woven into the very fabric of Scripture long before Jesus walked the earth as he answers questions like:* What are the three main arguments for the existence of God?* What is typology and how does it demonstrate the divine nature of the Bible?* What’s the difference between a theophany and a typology?* How can biblical interpretation be divided into three levels?* What two ways did Jesus and the apostles interpret the Bible?* How do Joseph, Moses, and Joshua each prefigure Christ?* How can the Bible's core message be explained in three sentences?* What does archaeology reveal about the events in the Book of Joshua?If the Bible isn’t true, there’s no reason to follow Jesus. But if it is, that changes everything. You’ll see why the Bible bears unmistakable marks of divine authorship—and why the evidence leaves little doubt that Jesus truly is the fulfillment of Scripture.If you enjoyed this podcast episode PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY BY SUPPORTING OUR MINISTRY USING THE LINK BELOW. 100% of your donation goes to ministry, 0% to buildings!Resources mentioned during the episode:Donate to CrossExamined - https://donor.crossexamined.org/ (https://donor.crossexamined.org/)Joel Kramer: Tomb of the Exodus - https://youtu.be/mJP4pVjnWpk (https://youtu.be/mJP4pVjnWpk) The Bible You Never Knew Session #7 (only available to watch on YouTube for a limited time!) - https://youtu.be/BCGor9yAXIg (https://youtu.be/BCGor9yAXIg) Did Moses Foreshadow Jesus? - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JCeaebkOF58 (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JCeaebkOF58) What REALLY Happened at Jericho? - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fZIvYw7Ao28 (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fZIvYw7Ao28)

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, why should you risk everything for Jesus?
0:07.0	Why should you put your life on the line?
0:11.0	Why should you deny yourself?
0:14.0	Why should you take the consternation of people who disagree with you
0:19.0	either in person or online for Jesus. Why
0:21.6	should you do all that? What's the point? And is it even true? I mean, obviously, if it's not
0:28.4	true, why would you? Why would you give up your life for something that isn't true? Why would
0:32.5	you give up doing what you want to do for something that isn't true. Why would you not be the authority of your own
0:38.3	life if there is no authority beyond life that established us and has a plan for us and has
0:46.0	a certain purpose for us? Why would we do that? Well, you know that when we give evidence that the Bible is true, as we do in the book, I don't have enough faith to be an atheist. We start with the question, does truth exist? And we point out that when people say there's no truth, they're actually uttering a truth claim. You know, when they say there's no truth, you're going to ask them, is that true? Of course, there's truth. It's self-defeating to say there isn't. Then we move on to the next question,
1:13.2	does God exist? And I don't have enough faith to be an atheist anyway. We give three main arguments for the existence of God. There are more arguments than that, but the three main arguments are the argument from the beginning of the universe, the design of the universe, and the design of life, and the moral argument,
1:28.0	which seems to suggest, anyway, that there is a spaceless, timeless, immaterial, powerful,
1:32.9	moral, personal, intelligent creator outside the universe that created the universe and sustains
1:38.6	the universe. If that's true, if God exists, then we can move on to the next big question, are miracles possible?
1:45.6	Because in today's day and age, people don't believe in miracles. They think we haven't seen any miracles,
1:49.9	so how can miracles have existed in the past? And we point out that the greatest miracle in the Bible has already occurred,
1:56.4	and that is the first verse of the Bible in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2:01.3	If that verse is true, every other verse in the Bible is at least possible.
2:05.1	Because if God exists and he can do the greatest miracle of all, and that is the creation
2:08.7	of the universe out of nothing, then he can certainly do lesser miracles, like walking on
2:13.9	water or turning water into wine or raising himself from the dead of Jesus truly is God.
2:20.4	He can do those things. If he can do Genesis 1-1, if he can create the universe out of nothing,
