Understanding Archaeology Christianity is a historical faith based on actual events recorded in the Bible.

No question related to science and the Bible has generated more controversy and even outright animosity between creationists and atheists than the question of evolution and the related question of the origin of man. Atheists have staked out the claim that evolution is on such a solid foundation that it is no longer a theory, […]
The Bible in Genesis chapters six through eight describes a great flood of apparently worldwide scope. Did this flood actually happen? Is the story just a myth, or perhaps less argumentatively, is it just a parable about the nature of man? These questions will be considered in this chapter. It might be a good idea […]
How did the human race originate? This question is obviously very closely related to the question of evolution. This was the real issue behind the Scopes monkey trial. Did man evolve from apes? Or is humanity a special creation of God? It has already been shown that life was created. Editor?s note:? that is in […]
Science is certainly not one of the main themes in the Bible. However, the Bible does contain information and claims of a scientific nature. Careful analysis of the parts of the Bible which relate to things scientists talk about will provide dramatic evidence that the Creator of the universe has revealed himself in this great […]
"Don’t all roads lead to God?" "Does it really matter which religion you follow, as long as you believe in a higher being?" "Aren’t all religions basically the same, anyway?" These are questions that many people are asking today. It’s hard to see the real difference between one religion and another, and it’s even harder […]

??So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.? Many of us grew up hearing this story at a Sunday school class or on our parent?s laps. Is this a quaint story; a fable with a religious message, […]
Think for a minute back to the first century.? What do you think the typical gospel sermon was like? Do you think the early evangelists principally made an appeal to the emotions of their hearers?? Were they a diatribe against the pagan religion of the day?? The book of Acts is the most reliable source […]
A REMARKABLE COLLECTION In this article we will investigate some of the most often-asked questions about the Bible. Where did it come from? Who decided what was going to be on the official list of accepted writings? How do we know if the Bible we read today is a reliable version of the original writings? […]
Simon Greenleaf, a Harvard Law Professor wrote: "All that Christianity asks of men?is, that they would be consistent with themselves, that they would treat its evidences as they treat the evidence of other things; and that they would try and judge its actors and witnesses, as they deal with their fellow men, when testifying to […]
by S. Alan Corlew The Use Of Aristotle’s Law Of Non-Contradiction To Defend Christianity The ways in which the Law of Non-Contradiction might be used to defend the Christian faith, are numerous. If one were to take an approach like that used by Francis Schaeffer in exposing the inadequacy of the presuppositions generally held by […]
Purpose:? To help those who are either skeptical or lack sufficient faith to move past some point in their Bible study. ? John 5:39,40?? Question:? What is Jesus claiming here????

Let us consider the ultimate miracle?the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Now, wait a minute.? Did Jesus do this miracle?? Did he raise himself from the dead, or did the Father raise his son from the dead?? We will let the theologians work out this question because it really does not matter who […]
What evidence did Jesus point to in order to support the claims he made about himself? The answer is that Jesus backed up his claims about himself by pointing to the miracles he worked. ?Don?t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to […]
We will begin with a scenario.? Imagine for a moment that you are having an informal conversation with a close friend you have known for some time.? Your friend?s name is Bill.? In the course of the conversation, Bill tells you that he has the ability to raise people from the dead.? How would you […]
During his ministry in Palestine, Jesus was often challenged on the issue of authority. Many, especially the religious authorities, would demand of Jesus to know on what authority he based his teachings. In general, he would let the evidence of the miracles speak for themselves, but on one occasion Jesus replied to his hearers concerning […]

I have heard that the word “he” and “him” is not a proper translation in John 1:1, but that it is the word “it.” If so, then “it” is a reference to the word logos and would not be a person, so, in a sense is not God. Is this true? Let me begin by […]

Over the past several years, there has been an aggressive attack made on those who believe in God by a broad coalition of organizations.

I would have to agree that this is off the subject of a Christian evidences web site, but since you ask, let me give at least some sort of answer. I am extremely uncomfortable making some sort of blanket statement of condemnation about a particular choice of lifestyle which is not specifically mentioned in the […]
The answer is that the Bible says that they will NOT necessarily sit at his right hand. The relevant passage is in Matthew 20:20-23 in which James and John, “the sons of Zebedee” asked Jesus to sit at his right and left, upon which Jesus answered that it was not for him to grant such […]
