Why I am a Christian - Anabaptist Perspectives Ep. 030 - Duration: 13:34.

Well, welcome everyone to the second episode of Anabaptist Perspectives in the series "Why I Believe."

Merle Burkholder is with us once again, so welcome Merle.

Thank you.

In the prior episode you talked about why you believe that there is a God

So in this episode, could you discuss why you are a Christian, and specifically what is different about

being a Christian than just believing in some theology, having some mere theism?

Yeah, for me my crisis of faith, if you wanna call it that, or sort of an

evaluation my faith came when my mother was passing away.

She had cancer and during the time when she was dying, I just really had questions about like,

"Is what I've been taught and believed really true?"

This is my mom, and she's gonna die, and in a few weeks she's gonna be somewhere else.

Where is that, and how do I know that what the Christian faith teaches is really true?

We put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, and

expect to spend eternity in heaven with the Lord Jesus, but is that really true?

Like, how do I know that that's true? This is my mom, if it's not true I want to know.

And so I really went on a journey of looking for answers and confirmations.

Is what I believe really true?

And what settled it for me, at almost 40 years of age was the resurrection of Christ,

and did that really happen?

William Lane Craig has some excellent work on the resurrection.

His work on the resurrection just really got me at a heart level to really believe.

Yeah. I'm convinced the resurrection happened an actual historical fact.

If that happened, then Jesus really was who he said he was.

The central question, like Jesus was either a pathological liar, or he was insane,

or he really was the Son of God as he said he was. The Jews didn't kill him because

they didn't like him or because they felt threatened;

they killed him because they said he blasphemed. He said he's a man, and he says he's God.

So that was clear to them that he claimed to be God; and that was the thing for them.

So was he or wasn't he?

There are a lot of people who made a lot of claims about their powers and who they are;

but they all died and when they died it was finished and that was it.

So if Jesus really rose from the dead then his identity was confirmed by God himself.

There had to be a power outside of himself that raised his body from from the dead.

The things that convinced me that the resurrection actually happened are first of all the death of Christ.

Like, he really did die. There were theories, that are not as prevalent now as they were in the past,

but there were theories that,

"No, he just went unconscious, and they put him in the tomb, and they thought he was dead,

but a couple days later he actually had just passed out, and he actually was still alive,

and so he came out of the tomb and he was still alive.

The problem with that theory is that he was executed by the state; so this was a state execution.

There were people that were professional executioners, they knew when their job was finished.

They knew when people were dead.

So it's absurd to say that he never died; because it would be like saying,

Well, the Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh, yeah they executed him but he did not die.

He survived that somehow. They thought he was dead, but actually he's living in Panama; he's alive.

We'd say that's absurd.

I mean he they know what they're doing. When they execute him, he's dead.

These Roman soldiers, they were the executioners; they were the state executioners.

When Joseph of Arimathea went to Pilate, asked for the body of Christ, Pilate was like,

"Wow! Is he dead already?" and so the centurion came and certified that, "Yes, he's dead."

When the centurion certified his death, he really did die.

It wasn't a fake death. He didn't just pass out.

Secondly, you have the early record of the resurrection.

The Gospels were written within ten years of the resurrection of Christ.

You have Peter, James, Paul, they were all

martyred by execution by 61 or 65; 61 to 65 AD.

The resurrection probably happened 30 to 33 AD. The book of Acts gives the record of the early church but

it doesn't record the death of Peter or Paul.

So, obviously Acts was written before they were executed.

So it was written before 65 AD, which would be 30 years after.

The book of Acts is the second part of Luke's writings, which the Book of Luke was written before that.

And the book of Mark precedes the book of Luke.

So Mark was probably written 10 to 15 years, at least, after the resurrection.

It was too early for there to be legends.

Because to have a legend you have to have enough time pass that there's no eyewitnesses.

So right now, it would be too soon to have a legend about 9/11.

A hundred years from now you might be able to say those airplanes didn't

really hit the buildings; like, that was all fake videography and the government

all staged the whole thing.

A hundred years from now you might be able to say that, but now you can't because there are

too many people who were on the streets of New York and actually saw the planes flying into the buildings.

If you put that out there as a proposition now there would be people who would say,

"No, I was there. I saw that, that's a lie."

The same thing is true with the gospel writings. There were a lot of people who were still alive.

I'm sure that in Jerusalem the talk of Jesus and his crucifixion.

Then when the story of the resurrection came out, people knew where the tomb was.

And I'm sure there were people who kind of went by with, "Let's go see this" , and take their

children and go over there, "Yeah, there it is. It is empty."

The Jews were Jesus' main opposition they had the most to lose if a resurrection actually happened.

They never denied the empty tomb. They could have squashed the whole thing

just by saying, "Well, now the tomb isn't empty, right there it is."

The best thing they could come up with was, "Well, the disciples stole the body."

They had to have a cover-up.

Yeah, so the tomb actually was empty. The records were written too early.

When you read the records of the resurrection in the gospel,

you just really get the sense that these writers, they're just kind of saying what happened.

They're not trying to create a story that's gonna sell or that's gonna start a new religion.

They are just saying these are the things that happened. So you don't have the language of legends.

The Gospels aren't that way. They're just, the women went there and the tomb was empty.

The other thing is that in some of that, "this is what happened",

it actually deterred from people believing the account of what happened.

Because if the disciples were faking the resurrection, and if they were creating a story,

I think they probably would have had themselves be the heroes of the story

So probably Peter and John would have gone to the tomb and discovered the empty tomb,

But the fact that the women were the ones who discovered it was a it was disgraceful to them.

It was, and women were not, they weren't considered to be believable.

So it actually discredits their account to have it first be told by women;

because women's testimony wasn't valid in a in a Jewish court of law.

So you really feel like they they put that in because it was true;

It wasn't because it was what helped them with their story.

Then you have the the post-resurrection appearances of Christ.

The people he appeared to, and people who knew him and met him.

He talked with them, he ate with them.

It was not like sometimes, when somebody passes away, and then you're walking through Walmart

and you see somebody, and just that first glance you think,

"Oh. That looks like my relative that just passed away."

These weren't that kind of encounters. It wasn't just sort of a passing,

"Yeah, I think I saw him on the street in Jerusalem."

I think he was there present with them and they got to touch him.

There was no question who it was.

The Gospels, and Paul and in Corinthians, they give lists of names of people;

these are the people that met him.

So people could go talk to those people.

Paul says in First Corinthians that he was seen by this person, and this person, and he was seen by

five hundred people at one time, and most of them are still alive.

He was writing so that people who kind of would question, was it really true?

They could go find some of those people and talk to them and say, "Yeah, this is we saw him."

It wasn't hallucinations, it was real appearances of Christ as a living person to people who knew him.

Then the faithfulness of the disciples.

You have eleven men. If it was a lie, ten of them were were martyred for their faith.

People will do a lot of things, but when you're faced with torture,

or you're faced with long-term imprisonment, or you're faced with death.

Somebody is going to say, "No, that's not what really happened, and it was just a story."

You look at Watergate; you look at other scandals.

It just takes one person to crack under pressure, or the threat of imprisonment.

It takes one person to say, "You know what? Let me tell you what was really going on here."

And then, all of a sudden, you have a flood of people saying, "Yeah, and let me tell you what I know too"

Because nobody wants to go to prison.

These men, all 11 of them went through the rest of their lives and died saying,

"This is true, this is what happened."

I just think if it was a lie, somewhere along the way somebody would have cracked and said,

"You know what, it isn't really true"

And so when you have eleven men who give their lives for something, and just that change

in their lives, and the transformation in their lives.

So those things convinced me that the resurrection actually happened as a historical fact.

I'm convinced that the basic essential elements of the gospel of Jesus Christ are true.

And that the Christian faith is based on reality. Something that is really true.

There's a lot of things about Christianity that I can't explain.

There's a lot of things in the Bible that I don't understand;

but I'm willing to live with a lot of confusion, because I'm convinced that the

essential elements of Christian faith are true.

That is what makes it different than, your question about how does it compare

with other religions, is that it's not based on legends, or stories, mythology.

These things really, actually, happened.

So is that the primary distinction you would see from other, particularly other monotheistic religions?

Could you maybe discuss some of the weight that's given to Christianity in your studies and your experience?

Yeah, I would say in in comparison to other monotheistic religions,

of course the Jewish faith is still looking for the Messiah, and still

looking for that Redeemer who is going to come and fulfill the prophecies,

they still have that component to their faith where they're still looking for that Messiah to come.

Islam has, you know, the role of Muhammad as the prophet,

and Jesus as a prophet, or teacher.

But no other monotheistic religion has an actual atoning sacrifice for sin;

someone who has broken the power of sin and death, and who gives us that

opportunity to experience forgiveness from sins.

So then, you either have to base your eternal hope on morality and good deeds,

or there has to be some some other way of saying, "It's all going to work out."

So, for you, the resurrection is kind of the pivotal point that sets Christianity apart from every other religion.

And then the fact that it provides a mean of salvation beyond ourselves,

beyond what we as humans can do.

Well that brings us to the end of the second part of a four part series on "Why I Believe."

Thank you Merle for joining us for that.

And to those of you listening and watching, thank you for being here.

We invite you back next week for another episode with Anabaptist Perspectives.

Why people should do business with you.

Profile videos are generally about a minute long.

They go over a few details and key points...

and help you connect with your customer...

in a lot more interactive way...

Content Management Systems – Green Group Studio - Duration: 2:56.

Hi, I'm Allen with Green Group Studio...

and today, we're going to go over plugins for websites,

particularly, content management systems.

And when to choose a plugin...

and when to build it custom.

In my previous video, link below, you'll see that...

we went over, kind of, whether you should do...

a custom content management system,

or go with an open source one...

like Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento.

And with the plugins,

you have the same kind of scenario,

only on a different level.

So, you may want ecommerce, and you'll say...

"Well, great, Wordpress has woocommerce,

that's a great plugin,

I'm going go ahead and install that...

and get ecommerce working on my website,

I'm gonna integrate PayPal, put in my information,

and boom, I have an ecommerce cart."

That's great if you want it just out of the box.

The problem we have is when we have...

different requests from clients where they say,

"Well, I want it to do this one, particular thing."

And then, all of a sudden, all bets are off...

because now, we are forced to work within this...

existing framework and infrastructure.

Some dependencies and variables that...

we didn't put into the system,

that we have to either rewind and back out...

or code certain things.

Sometimes we can just add in code, I mean, if it's,

talking about, "Let's change the way this is aligned,"

well, that could be different than somebody saying...

"Well, I need to have multiple categories...

of this product, and under the drop downs,

I want them to have different colors and different sizes,

and I want them to all go to different SKU numbers."

So, as soon as you add additional layers of complexity,

that's when these plugins just kind of explode,

and you're better off coding from the beginning.

So, if you have a plugin that you research and...

you're really happy with the way it is out of the box,

then go with the plugin.

But if you think your needs may grow, then I would...

seriously consider what you want to do custom.

A couple of the plugins that I recommend,

evaluating this on, would be:

specific ecommerce,

because there's many different solutions,

it doesn't have to be just a plugin;

also booking systems, I can't stress enough.

There are so many variables with booking systems,

it's insane.

Whether you want emails sent,

whether you needed to connect with a calendar,

whether you're allowed to have multiple,

overlapping appointments.

How many overlapping appointments?

Do you have different locations, venues,

additional needs, etc.

When does the user pay?

Are they paying for services upfront?

It can be a nightmare.

So, you can have certain systems...

for booking hotel rooms with different variables,

but say you get another hotel.

Well, will that plugin still suit your needs?

So, hopefully this has been informational.

If you have any questions on whether you think...

you should go custom or with an out-of-the-box plugin,

feel free to reach out to us.

Video Testimonials – Green Group Studio - Duration: 0:53.

So video testimonials are a way of you...

...providing testimonials of your customers,

but in a more authentic way.

When you read a testimonial on a website,

you might say, "Hmmm... Is that a real testimonial?"

And when you actually have the customer there,

talking to the camera, it feels more valid.

It feels more genuine, and you can actually understand,

"Okay, well, how did these people really like the services? What are they gonna say?"

It's not gonna feel so canned,

it's gonna be more natural, and...

...it's going to really connect with customers.

People say, "Wow! Well, look at that.

They have a few people that...

...really, truly enjoyed working with them,

and are saying that they would recommend them...

...and work with them again."

Content Management Systems v Custom Coding — Green Group Studio - Duration: 2:25.

Hi, I'm Allen with Green Group Studio...

and today we're going to talk about...

content management systems versus custom coding...

the pros and cons.

So, many content management systems are...

...designed with a certain thing in mind.

Magento is great at ecommerce,

there's Joomla, there's Drupal,

there's Wordpress, which is the most common one...

which is also great for blogging.

These content management systems are all...

great systems to have a lot of out-of-the-box features...

that you would normally have to customize.

Something like allowing users to have a registration...

so they can have a username and password.

And then also a lot of plugins are built for them...

like whether it's shopping,

or whether it's booking type of components,

or whether it's online forms, things of that nature.

And there's hundreds of them,

many of them free online,

that you can plug into a content management system.

With custom, you don't have necessarily...

that ability to plug in those things.

There are open source plugins, like osCommerce,

that you can plug into a website...

and get ecommerce out of it.

The benefit of doing custom, however, is that...

you're going to have a custom system...

that doesn't necessarily have the vulnerabilities,

or at least the open, wide-spread knowledge...

of vulnerabilities of that system, as you would with...

a Wordpress installation.

So Wordpress, just like, you know, Windows and Macintosh,

gets updated on a regular basis.

So, if you fall behind in your updates,

you will have security vulnerabilities.

So there's a little bit more of a maintenance nightmare.

Now, on top of that, if you have plugins in that website,

those plugins are also subject...

to the same vulnerabilities.

A lot of website hacks happen, actually,

through an outdated plugin, not necessarily the...

outdated Wordpress installation, for instance.

So, when you're doing custom, you don't have...

those same vulnerabilities, or at least, like I said,

the same wide-spread knowledge...

of those different exploits because it is custom.

So while you may have to build up...

some features from the ground up,

you're going to have a little bit more safety...

in knowing that is was coded,

and you have a little bit more flexibility, too.

That's something that we're going to talk about...

...in our next video.

So, this has been Allen with Green Group Studio...

going over content management systems...

versus custom coding.

And I hope you learned something,

and if you have any questions,

please feel free to ask or comment below,

Thanks!
