Advanced Apologetics Part Four | Dr. Phil Fernandes | Shepherds Bible College

In this fourth session of AP 301: Foundations for Apologetics, Dr. Phil Fernandes of Shepherds Bible College in Bremerton, Washington continues building the biblical case for Christian apologetics, demonstrating that defending the faith is not a modern invention — it is rooted in Scripture, modeled by Jesus himself, and practiced by the early church.

This session covers the biblical commands to defend the faith, the doctrine of natural revelation, and the powerful historical evidences that the apostles themselves considered essential to the proclamation of the gospel.

Topics covered in this session:

• 1 Peter 3:15, Colossians 4, Titus 1:9, and Jude 3 — the biblical commands to defend the faith

• Natural revelation vs. supernatural revelation — what each can and cannot tell us

• Romans 1 and 2 — creation, conscience, and the case against atheism

• The psychology of unbelief — why suppressing truth is not the same as lacking evidence

• 1 Corinthians 15 and the ancient creed — eyewitness testimony within one year of the crucifixion

• Acts 1 and 2 — how the apostles preached with historical evidence at the center

• John 5, 10, and 20 — Jesus pointing to his own miracles as proof of his identity

• Why even Jesus contradicts the presuppositionalist model
