Rather than aim to demonstrate the error of other religions, denominations, or sects, Christians are called to proclaim the truth and let their light shine. The positive focus will draw others to Christ much more than a negative demonstration of the ignorance and lostness of those who do not know God. Still, there is an […]
I have heard that Genesis chapter one and Genesis chapter two are contradictory stories of the creation, written by two different authors. Is this true? No and maybe. No to the first question. Genesis chapter one is the story of the creation of the universe and more specifically of the earth and the life on […]
If one can assume that this question is about the additions to the Old Testament which are included in the Roman Catholic Bible, then the bottom line answer is simple. The canon of the Old Testament was set by the teachers of Judaism. The Old Testament Apocrypha was never accepted by any of the Jewish […]
I have heard that the Old Testament was written by Jewish priests just a couple of hundred years before Christ, and that it is totally unreliable historically, with lots of religious fables and myths. How can I be sure about this? Two hundred years ago it would have been hard to produce hard evidence to […]
If so, when? How would this relate to creation as described in Genesis? The big bang is one of a number of models cosmologists have for the history of the universe. It happens to be by far the most widely accepted model for the simple reason that it agrees so well with the data scientists […]
It would be a mistake to give a formula to help all people come to faith in Jesus Christ because obviously every person is unique. Some people have more of an intellectual, abstract mind-set, while others tend toward thinking of life in terms of relationships. Still others tend to be motivated by logical arguments, while […]
If so, was it a world-wide flood, or just a local phenomenon in Mesopotamia? Is there any evidence for the flood happening? This question has certainly brought about a lot of debate over the years. Many have scoffed at the “myth” of the flood in the time of Noah. The principle reason for intellectuals to […]
This question is answered in detail in an article at this web site, The Miracles of Jesus. Let us give a synapsis. The reason for belief in the miracles of Jesus can be separated into two categories, which are; 1. The reliability of the gospel witnesses. 2. The testimony of non-Christian authors. The first point […]
This is a very good question, and it brings up one of the most important issues one faces in dealing with question relating to the Bible and to faith. The fact is that we will almost certainly never find a “smoking gun” sort of proof that Adam and Eve were actual historical people. It is […]
This is probably the most controversial question which relates to science and the Bible. In fact, many Bible believers have divided along the lines of this controversy. In addressing this question, one would do well to remember the words of Paul in 2 Timothy 2:23,24; “Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, […]
What one can say with absolute certainty is that there are fossils of dinosaurs found scattered across every continent on the globe. Did dinosaurs ever live? The obvious answer is that they certainly did live at a time in the very distant past. The only conceivable alternative argument is that God created the earth with […]
Many critics of Christianity claim that the Bible we read today has been changed in major ways since the originals were written. For example, some have claimed that there are “hundreds of thousands of errors” in our present Bibles. Some have claimed that the Catholic Church in the fourth and fifth centuries made major revisions […]
Science says the earth is old, but the Bible says the earth is young. Which is correct, and how can I know? The first statement is correct, while the second statement is a question of interpretation. In other words, scientific evidence, from any of at least a dozen independent methods of calculation leads to the […]
Question: What about other religions? Are they true ways to know God? How can I know? Answer: In the end, those who seek after the truth will have to answer this question for themselves, because for each individual, what he or she really means by the question will be different. Many people, of course, say […]
What inconsistencies and mistakes? It is easier to complain that the Bible is full of inconsistencies and mistakes than it is to find one which will stand up to careful study. Claiming that the Bible is full of errors and inconsistencies is the standard approach of many Bible critics. Of course, there are many good […]
Ultimately, that is the question which this web site attempts to answer, so the first suggestion is to cruise through the site, picking articles to read to help you answer the question. However, please consider an outline of some of the evidence which strongly supports belief that the Bible is the inspired word of God […]
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 […]
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 […]
