- Info : Please, resolve the addition below before post any new comment...
- Gabe Ginorio : Dr. Fernandes is very busy as you can imagine. I put up material when it becomes available. That said, there is some new stuff in the works.
- Sean : Hey Mr. Fernandes I've listened to a ton of your sermons and I love listening to them, you have really helped me in my studies of refuting Catholicism, I noticed you haven't uploaded in a while, hope your ok and working on good stuff. Looking forward to more sermons.
- Guest_687 : Dr. Fernandes's argmentation on God's existence is so biased and baseless that it is simply funny...
- Guest_295 : Praise God, Pastor Call your brother Stephen Byrum
- Gabe Ginorio : You should probably post a comment on the article, Daniel. The messenger is a bit short for this kind of stuff.
- Daniel : Response to - Question: Why Jesus and not Thor? May 9th, 2011 I don't mean to be argumentative, though I don't believe a valid endpoint is made in this article. I am not saying I worship Thor or anyone, I'm simply trying to obtain answers. Here is a quote from that article: "In the same way, stating that there “are tons of evidence for Thor” is certainly not the same as presenting that evidence.". Here is another which contradicts that statement: "Did Thor rise from the dead or par
- Guest_2568 : Dr. Fernandes has a TV show on the NRB Network. It airs on Sunday nights at 7:30 pm pacific time. You can get the NRB Network on Direct channel 378 and on Sky Angel.
- Gabe Ginorio : I use the AMP because it expands the definitions of words and phrases. I use the NIV because of the easy readability. There are other good translations. But the KJV only folks ... they have issues. Here is a video debate featuring Dr. James White on the KJV issue. «link»
- Guest_3326 : I see that someone has asked which Bible translation you read from - My question is Why do you chose the NIV & AMP? I have heard from someone that "the KJV & NKJV are the most accurate translations" & that "any other verisons including the the NIV & AMP pervert the Word." What are your thoughts on this?
- Gabe Ginorio : So the virus made a choice to just integrate. Hey, why not hang out here for a while?
- Gabe Ginorio : Quote: "We suspect that these viruses are forced to make a choice: either to keep their 'viral' essence and spread between animals and species. Or to commit to one genome and then spread massively within it."
- Guest_4416 : What do you say to this? Thanks, «link»
- Gabe Ginorio : I'm not absolutely certain which station Dr. Fernandes is on. We are glad that the free materials are equipping you to fight the good fight and have a ready defense.
- Dismas : I also wanna say thanks to Phil for his resources, I download his audio from apologetics315, burn then to CD and listen to them as I drive all over the UK in a truck, we all as Christians need to get up to speed with the arguements and start challenging the atheist on the battlefront ( the thought areana) God bless.
- Dismas : can anyone tell me the name of the radio station Phil has a show on please?
- Gabe Ginorio : You are referring to "middle knowledge" (God know what "would" happen). Molonism relies on this premise and Dr. Fernandes does give weight to this point of view.
- Guest_2146 : Regarding the debate between Calvin and non-Calvin points of view, could it be that our life on earth gets lived out dynamically, with with all kinds of possible outcomes, and yet to God it is all known because His perspective to time may be quite different from ours?
- Gabe Ginorio : Personally, I use the NIV for daily reading and the Amplified Version when I need help understanding the meaning of a passage.
- Guest_2657 : Just wondering, what bible version do you recommend?
- Gabe Ginorio : I'm not aware of any reviews written at the Institute. I can ask, though.
- Guest_3269 : Has anyone there at the Institute read John Brevere;s book "The Bait of Satan" and have they written any reviews?
- Gabe Ginorio : In humanistic Evolutionary thinking, nothing has any meaning. However, their philosophical naturalism (atheism) collapses after even a cursory look at NDE's (such as documented by Gary Habarmas of Liberty University)
- Robert O. Adair : Evolution is not science. Usually they are doing Philosophy. Because of their anti-metaphysica l bias they picked up from cracker barrel philosopher, Auguste Comte, they are unaware of this. Within the metaphysical framework of their religion there is no basis for any Ontological significance for logic, it just pooped into existence like a tendency to have warts. Evolutionist developments have no meaning or significance.
- Gabe Ginorio : The Institute gladly offers up our resources for free! May the God of peace enlighten your mind and strengthen your heart.
- Guest_551 : Phil - I listen to your MP3s on Firefighters for Christ, Mike Bradley
- Guest_386 : Calling the Sumerian Texts a MYTH is wrong. They pre-date the origins of the Bible and the Hebrew writtings. That would in essence mean that the Bible (compiled in 325 AD by the Council of Nicea) and the Hebrew written records could also be called and considered a MYTH.
- SeattlePhil : hi everyone. I am interested in knowing more about the apologetics program on this website. I left a message on pastor Phil's voicemail and left a written message on the contact section.
- Gabe Ginorio : Try narrowing down the paper's scope to the number, date and accuracy of the New Testament manuscripts. Their support from the church fathers and their faithfulness to the originals.
- Ann Hein : I only get 5-7 pages I am having trouble narrowing it down.
- Gabe Ginorio : These days, I'd suggest as a topic for apologetics paper: The Reliability of the New Testament.
- Guest_2139 : I need an idea for an apologetics paper

Speaking at an AWANA conference in Everett, WA, Dr. Fernandes defends the true Jesus of history and the veracity of the Bible. Misguided scholars, such as author Bart Ehrman, use well-known New Testament manuscript variants and controvertial verses as an excuse to reject all biblical texts. This is the New Skepticism. True to the motto of the institute, Dr. Fernandes upholds and defends the Christian faith with solid facts, humoruos anecdotes and common sense.
