The Lemuel Baker Center for Learning is a department of Lemuel Baker Ministries that develops literature and educational materials to contribute to an international audience interested in objective, research based information concerning biblical topics that may require in-depth study by cross referencing other disciplines to support biblical content. This online Learning Center also serves as an educational supplement for Pastors, Christian Leaders and potential leaders in remote geographical areas with no access to an accredited Christian curriculum.
Other disciplines such as Archeology, History, Astronomy, Jewish Studies and Natural Sciences are separate disciplines that support bible claims and when explored give peace of mind to adherents of Christianity but also to those of other belief systems who seek an objective scholarly study of the Christian Bible.
Archeology in particular is imperative to Christian Apologetics to provide primary evidence needed to prove claims of the Old and New Testaments. All human beings and civilizations if indeed real or if they indeed existed in the past must leave debris behind such as pottery, inscriptions, utensils they used and houses they lived in. It is the job of a true scholar to find this debris or primary evidence to substantiate all biblical claims. To date there is more than enough debris or archeological discoveries available to easily prove that the Christian Bible is historically accurate.
Apologetics which means a defense of the faith, to persuade, providing evidence sufficient to bringing a trial from an arraignment stage to a full blown trial, which was engaged by the Apostle Paul, in a literal sense when he stayed in Corinth for a year and a half just to teach, to reason with and to answer questions for the Corinthian believers and seekers who had honest questions. The Apostle Paul also engaged apologetics when persuading King Agrippa. The great Apostle Paul knew by the leading of The Holy Spirit when to preach, when to teach and when to sit with people and when to answer their questions so that the barriers to their believing would be removed. See Acts 18:11 which records "So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God."
The Mission of the LBCL is to provide to it's audience information regarding the TanaK or the Jewish Bible, The Talmud, the Jewish Oral Law but also to contribute a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding our Christian Bible and finally to show that Christianity after much debunking and research is objectively the only belief system that holds water, has no holes in it's claims, can be tested scientifically and historically in real time as any other reputable discipline should be tested.
The Goals for the Lemuel Baker Center for Learning is to encourage the following with regards to the document we accept as the Christian Bible:
-
The Bible we currently use today is in essence the same as was given to the Ancient prophets and to the original twelve Apostles with few minor variations which do not alter the original meaning declared in the original documents.
-
Knowledge that writings of antiquity such as from Aristophanes, Plato and others we have enjoyed for centuries have original documents that date back to 1000 AD while Christianity has original documents and fragments that date back to early dates of 45-70 AD. The Old and New Testaments are authentic documents corroborated by Archeology, Astronomy and Natural Sciences.
-
Encourage critical thinking and logical thinking essential to deciding which information deserves to be valid and which information does not follow logically and thus cannot be accepted as a supporting fact.
-
Both the Old and New Testament owe Judaism and the documents from the Tanak as the source that God used to give to Christianity His Law and ultimately our Messiah.
-
Redemption through Jesus Christ and Him alone as we understand that all biblical claims in the Old and New Testaments have been verified and if biblical claims are verified then Jesus' personal claims are also true such as "I am the Son of God." All humans should have peace of mind and be satisfied with their decision to follow Christ along side the peace of spirit that comes with following Him.
-
Familiarity with Judaism and the varied beliefs and
values within Judaism itself.
-
There are three pillars of sustained success which are as follows and if there is a breach of any of the three pillars the success experience will be halted until the broken pillar is rebuilt:
1. Preparation and mastery of skill sets
2. Sustained good character
3. Wisdom and making appropriate decisions
May the Lord Jesus Christ Himself bless you and reveal Himself to you as you seek Him with all your heart. He promises to reveal Himself to all who seek Him with all their heart.

雷米爾貝克學習中心是雷米爾貝克事工的一個部門，負責開發文學和教育材料，以向對聖經主題的客觀、基於研究的信息感興趣的國際受眾做出貢獻，這些信息可能需要透過交叉引用其他學科來支持聖經主題進行深入研究。這個線上學習中心也為無法獲得認可基督教課程的偏遠地區的牧師、基督教領袖和潛在領袖提供教育補充。 其他學科，如考古學、歷史學、天文學、猶太研究和自然科學，是支持聖經主張的獨立學科，在探索時可以讓基督教的信徒以及那些尋求對基督教進行客觀學術研究的其他信仰體系的人安心。 考古學對於基督教護教學來說尤其重要，它可以提供證明《舊約》和《新約》主張所需的主要證據。所有人類和文明，如果確實存在，或者如果它們確實存在於過去，都必須留下殘骸，例如他們使用的陶器、銘文、用具和居住的房屋。聖經主張。迄今為止，有足夠的碎片或考古發現可以輕鬆證明基督教聖經在歷史上是準確的。 護教學意味著捍衛信仰，說服，提供足夠的證據，使審判從提審階段進入全面審判階段，這是使徒保羅在哥林多停留一年時從字面意義上進行的。回答那些有誠實問題的哥林多信徒和尋求者的問題。使徒保羅在說服亞基帕王時也進行了護教學。偉大的使徒保羅藉著聖靈的引導，知道何時傳道、何時教導、何時與人坐在一起、何時回答他們的問題，以便消除他們信仰的障礙。請參閱使徒行傳 18 章 11 節，其中記載：“保羅在哥林多住了一年半，教導他們神的道。” LBCL 的使命是向觀眾提供有關 TanaK 或猶太聖經、塔木德、猶太口傳法的信息，同時也提供一種多學科的方法來理解我們的基督教聖經，並最終表明基督教在經過多次揭穿之後研究是客觀上唯一站得住腳的信仰體系，它的主張沒有漏洞，可以像任何其他有信譽的學科一樣接受科學和歷史的即時檢驗。 雷米爾貝克學習中心的目標是鼓勵以下關於我們接受為基督教聖經的文件： 我們今天使用的聖經本質上與古代先知和最初的十二使徒的聖經相同，只有一些細微的變化，這些變化不會改變原始文件中聲明的原始含義。 我們知道幾個世紀以來我們所欣賞的阿里斯托芬、柏拉圖和其他人的古代著作的原始文獻可以追溯到公元 1000 年，而基督教的原始文獻和片段可以追溯到公元 45-70 年早期。 《舊約》和《新約》是經過考古學、天文學和自然科學證實的真實文獻。 鼓勵批判性思考和邏輯思維，以決定哪些資訊應該有效，哪些資訊不符合邏輯，因此不能被接受為支持事實。 《舊約》和《新約》都歸功於猶太教和塔納克文獻，作為上帝用來賦予基督教祂的律法和最終我們的彌賽亞的來源。 透過耶穌基督和祂的救贖，我們知道舊約和新約中的所有聖經主張都已得到證實，如果聖經的主張得到證實，那麼耶穌的個人主張也是正確的，例如「我是上帝的兒子」。所有人類都應該擁有內心的平靜，並對自己跟隨基督的決定感到滿意，同時也應該對跟隨他所帶來的精神上的平安感到滿意。 熟悉猶太教和各種信仰 猶太教本身的價值觀。 持續成功的三個支柱如下，如果這三個支柱中的任何一個被破壞，成功的經驗將被停止，直到被破壞的支柱被重建： 1. 技能的準備與掌握 2、持續的良好品格 3. 智慧並做出適當的決定 願主耶穌基督親自祝福你，並在你全心全意尋求祂時向你顯現。祂應許將向所有尋求祂的人顯現祂自己 你全心全意。祂應許要向所有全心尋求祂的人顯現自己。
“創造卓越和理解的精神”
