About Matt2414

So you want to know who am I? Actually, you don’t need to know who I am, because I’m not important. What you do need to know is who Jesus Christ is. So here’s his profile: Jesus said: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty (John 6:35). I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life (John 8:12). I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved (John 10:9). I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me – just as the Father knows me and I know the Father – and I lay down my life for the sheep (John 10:14). I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die (John 11:25-26). I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. ... I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing (John 15:1, 5).

Do All Religions Lead to God?

Posted on September 17, 2014 by Matt2414

A popular modern philosophy in the western world is that all religions lead to God. This idea stems from eastern thinking which tolerates a multitude of beliefs and many different gods. It is attractive because it is non-confrontational. But is it true?

In this video I show that it is logically and practically impossible for all religions to lead to the one true God. The evidence is that there can be only one true God and one true religion.

If There is a God, Why is There Evil?

Posted on September 10, 2014 by Matt2414

The existence of evil is one of the greatest obstacles to belief in God. The Bible tells us that God is gracious, merciful and loving, and that he is all-powerful. If this is true, then how can he stand by and allow his creation to be marred by so much violence, cruelty and distress?

In this video I show that the Christian faith provides the most rational and realistic understanding of evil, and offers the only true remedy to the problem of evil.

Is the Bible the Word of God?

Posted on September 3, 2014 by Matt2414

The Bible is a unique book. Its history, message, influence and accuracy are incomparable with any other book in the world. Its message touches on the most difficult and important issues of life, such as the meaning and purpose of life, the nature of good and evil, the problem of sin, and the way to salvation.

Christians claim that the Bible is the word of God. But can this be proven? In this video I present evidence which supports the claim that the Bible is the word of God.

Did Jesus Christ Rise from the Dead?

Posted on August 27, 2014 by Matt2414

Did Jesus Christ rise from the dead? This is surely one of the most important questions anyone could ask. If it is true, then the resurrection of Christ has significant implications for each of us, not only in regard to the next life, but for this life as well.

In this video, I show that there is strong historical evidence to support the resurrection of Christ.

Was Jesus Christ God?

Posted on August 20, 2014 by Matt2414

The central message that Jesus gave the world was one of peace with God and salvation through faith. But it was not for this that he was put to death by the religious leaders of his day. The single greatest difficulty with Jesus Christ is his claim to be the Son of God. To many religious people this claim is blasphemous, and to others it is inconceivable.

But what if it is true? What if Jesus Christ was God in the form of a man? Surely this is a question at least worthy of investigation.

Does God Exist?

Posted on August 13, 2014 by Matt2414

The question of God’s existence demands examination, because it holds the key to the meaning and purpose of our own existence. But can God’s existence be logically proven without appealing to religious experience or a leap of faith? In this video, I show that there is, in fact, abundant, rational evidence for the existence of God.

Future Events

Posted on August 6, 2014 by Matt2414

The Bible contains important information about events in the future which cannot be predicted from human knowledge. On a personal level, we learn about death, resurrection, and judgement. On a more general level, we learn about the return of Christ at the end of the current age, the subsequent thousand-years reign of Christ and his saints on earth, and the eventual re-creation of the universe.

In this video, I present a brief overview of these key future events.
