Slidell Bible Chapel Announces 2013 Fall Bible Conference

The saints at Slidell Bible Chapel want to extend their warmest invitation to you to attend their 2013 Annual Fall Bible Conference the weekend of October 25-27, 2013.

Mr. David Dunlap will be presenting practical, life changing ministry from God’s Word. Raised in New Jersey and saved at an early age, David went on to serve the Lord Jesus Christ for seven years as a missionary to Belgium. He returned to the US and married his wife Faith, who had served the Lord in Africa for a year. They worked together in Pennsylvania for about five years until they felt the Lord’s call to Tampa, Florida, where they, along with their children, helped in the founding of Land O’Lakes Bible Chapel. The Dunlaps currently attend and David serves as an Elder in that local church. The Lord has blessed this work abundantly. David and Faith both have a passion for church planting, teaching, and discipleship training of faithful individuals to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. David is also involved in itinerant ministry, conference speaking, and is one of the conveners of the National Workers and Elders Conference each year. They love the Lord Jesus and are great friends of the ministries of Slidell Bible Chapel.

Needham Bible Chapel Annual Conference

Needham Bible Chapel in Needham, Alabama, announces its 27th Anniversary Conference to be held on Saturday and Sunday, February 19 and 20, 2011. Needham Bible Chapel is located at 2497 New Hope Road in Needham, Alabama. The chapel phone number is (251) 843-2034.

Chuck Gianotti will be the conference speaker. Chuck and his wife Mary are from Rochester, New York. Chuck serves as an adjunct instructor at Kawartha Lakes Bible College and is founder and editor of Elders' ShopNotes, a bi-monthly leadership ministry mailing to church elders in North America, South America, and various other countries. He is involved in an itinerate speaking ministry, maintains a web-site containing teaching on various biblical topics (Bible-Equip.org) and produces a weekly e-mail devotional (E-Meditations). Over the years Chuck and Mary have served in camp ministry as well. During the conference, Needham Bible Chapel will be giving away copies of Chuck's book, The Formation of the New Testament.

Saturday's subject is: The New Testament: Credible or Not? Christianity rises or falls on the historical credibility of the Bible, particularly the New Testament documents. It has come under increasingly forceful attacks, with major news and magazine outlets routinely publishing scholarly refutation of the historical basis of the Bible and its stories. Some assert that the Bible as we have it today was the result of a political posturing in the early church that was rife with intrigue, conspiracy, and secrecy. Others see it is a genuine effort by the 2nd and 3rd century church to read back into the very human stories of Christ a miraculous component that never existed in the first place. In such a post-modem (and some would say, post-Christian) culture, many are searching for answer to questions like these:

- Are the New Testament writings historically reliable?
- How do we know those book comprising the NT are authoritative?
- Who decided which documents to include?
- What about the apocryphal, deutero-canonical and Gnostic writings?

This presentation sunimarizes the large volume of available (yet very technical) information on the subject by providing a concise analysis of the facts to help you determine whether the New Testament as embraced by Christians for close to 2000 years is worthy of your confidence.

Saturday, February 19, 2011, Schedule:
10:00 AM
Welcome and Prayer

10:30 AM
Message 1 - What's the Problem?

Q&A

11:45 AM

Lennox - Dawkins Debate in Birmingham, AL

The highly publicized debate on the existence of God took place at the Alys Stephens Center in Birmingham, Alabama, Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2007. Richard Dawkins, called by the BBC "Darwin's Rottweiler" and author of The New York Times bestseller The God Delusion faced Christian apologist John Lennox. It was one of the few debates in which Dawkins has participated. The event was sold out. The event took place as Dr. Lennox released his new book God's Undertaker: Has Science Buried God? published by Kregel. Alister McGrath calls Dr. Lennox's book, "A brilliantly argued reevaluation of the relation of science and religion, casting welcome new light on today's major debates. A must-read for all reflecting on the greatest questions of life." The God Delusion Debate was sponsored by Fixed Point Foundation, a Christian think tank. Richard Dawkins is a fellow of the Royal Society and Charles Simonyi chair for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University and is the popular spokesman for what has been dubbed "the new atheism." John Lennox has doctorates from Oxford, Cambridge and the University of Wales. He is reader in mathematics in the University of Oxford, and fellow in mathematics and the philosophy of science at Green College.

Greg Garrison of "The Birmingham News" reports that the debate was "a lively joust... between Oxford University scholars who took turns driving each other onto the defensive. The exchanges were sometimes sharp and funny when the speakers were allowed to directly address each other. Lennox suggested Dawkins believed that his wife loved him, but it's not scientifically provable. 'Is there any evidence for that?' Lennox said." And at the end of his article Garrison relates that, "Lennox concluded by appealing to his belief in the resurrection of Jesus. 'Atheism is a delusion,' he said. 'If there's no resurrection, the terrorists and fanatics have got away with it,' he said. Dawkins seized on Lennox's ending back at his faith instead of science. 'Having proven some case for a deistic God, you fall back on the Resurrection,' he said. 'It's so petty, it's so trivial. ... So unworthy of the universe.' Dawkins ended the debate there. 'Although we can't disprove there is a god, it is very, very unlikely indeed.'"

Garrison's "The Birmingham News" article on the debate can be read in its entirety at the following link:
Scholars Match Wits Over God's Existence

DVD's of the debate will be offered by the last week of November 2007 by the Fixed Point Foundation and can be ordered at their website: http://www.fixed-point.org
