    Creation or Magically Appearing Universes?

    The modern evidence clearly demonstrates that God creates living forms of life to adapt and change to ever-changing environments. God's creation is living, dynamic and fluid and in constant flux, not static. Darwin is right about that. What Darwin is wrong about is what is called "natural...

    Did the Universe Randomly Evolve?

    The modern evidence clearly demonstrates that God creates living forms of life to adapt and change to ever-changing environments. God's creation is living, dynamic and fluid and in constant flux, not static. Darwin is right about that. What Darwin is wrong about is what is called "natural...

    What is the Importance of "I AM"?

    In the Old Testament, God says to Moses: "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you" Exodus 3:14. In the New Testament, Jesus says: "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM" John 8:58. This is the only concept of God tracing from ancient times, that...

    Is There Historical Evidence for Abraham?

    A city called Haran is mentioned in the travels of Abram (later named Abraham by God), a man who came from the region of Ur, a well-documented ancient Mesopotamian city. Historians have identified Haran, where Abram's father died, in modern-day Turkey; Abram later continues his journey to a land...

    Is Adam and Eve Scientifically Accurate?

    Modern science has discovered that due to what is called species-crossbreeding and weaker strains along the genetic trail being weeded out, all people living on earth today share a recent ancestor no older than Noah in the Bible and quite possibly, considerably younger. This means that the...

    Is Jesus a Religion?

    Jesus is presented throughout the New Testament as the friend of sinners and regular average people. And he is also presented as the enemy of orthodox conservative religion, which he seems to have passionately hated. Later both Stephen and Paul in Acts insist that God "does not live in temples...

    What is a Saint?

    Almost always found in the plural as "saints" in the New Testament, the Greek word translated as "saint" in modern English Bibles, simply refers to believers in Jesus, such as "the saints" who lived at Lydda Acts 9:32. It does NOT refer to someone who is necessarily celibate or someone who is...

    Are There "Races" of People?

    Up until recently, science divided humanity into three supposed distinct "races". But since the decoding of the human genome, modern science has conclusively proven that on a biological genetic level, there is no such thing as race. Rather, the idea of race is a cultural construct, a myth that...

    Who is Allowed to Preach?

    The word in Greek mistranslated as 'preach' means to proclaim; it does not mean to preach a sermon. The word "preach" as found in modern New Testaments should never be confused with what one commonly hears today from television evangelists and religious pulpits, much of which is the antithesis...

    What About the Physical Jesus?

    Isaiah prophesies that Messiah would have "no form or comeliness. And when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him" Isaiah 53:2. Many if not most historians agree Jesus was probably dark, short, unkempt by modern standards and according to Isaiah was unattractive, having nothing...

    Is the Love of Wealth the Root of All Evil?

    Today there is some controversy over I Timothy 6:10, which in many modern Bibles is translated as "love of money". The original Greek appears to primarily mean avarice, which is defined as "extreme greed for wealth or material gain." Martin Luther translated it as "avarice", while William...

    Is Atheism Scientific?

    At the bottom line, atheism would have us believe that the grand design cosmic reality magically appeared and, out popped magical living beings of intelligence and conscious awareness. Atheism assumes without evidence, that there is no Creator; no design, no thought, no reason and no rhyme...

    What Does "Love" Mean in Greek?

    Greek has eight different words for "love", including "agape", unconditional universal or God's love, "eros"; sexual love, "philia"; friendship or affectionate love, "storge"; familial love or the love between parents and children, "philautia"; self love, "xenia"; hospitality or love for...

    What Does John 1:1 Mean?

    In the beginning was the logos, and the logos was with God, and the logos was God John 1:1, inadequately translated as "Word" in most modern bibles. While it is true that the "word of the Lord" or the word of God is an aspect (or part) of God, this by no means describes everything that God is...

    Did Jesus Care About the Environment?

    Jesus says, "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin. And yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these" Matthew 6:28-29. This is perhaps the greatest environmental awareness statement in human history, spoken when...

    Is it Okay to Condemn Sinners?

    Jesus says, "Judge not, that you be not judged" Matthew 7:1. As noted, we also find this in Romans, where Paul writes, "Therefore you are inexcusable, O one, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things" Romans 2:1...

    Who Are "The Jews" in the New Testament?

    In John, we find this concerning Jesus: "Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, where is he? And there was much complaining among the people concerning him. Some said, 'he is good'; others said, 'no, on the contrary, he deceives the people.' However, no one spoke openly of him for fear...
