Biblical Creation

No story in the Bible is under more assault to its eternal truth than the Creation story found at the very beginning in the book of Genesis. Modern science has made it almost unbelievable for all but the very faithful. This is a 2nd edition, adding even additional evidence for God’s existence. Genesis 1 Day 1 makes a precise prediction of liquid water on the surface of the Earth when the sun became a star. Recent discoveries in Early Earth science are revealing our planet cooled quicker than originally believed, and that much of the water came from the Earth itself. Evidence may soon ...

Exploring the biblical texts, the testimony of church history, and the insights of Systematic Theology, Matt Foreman and Doug Van Dorn argue that the answer is beyond doubt: the Angel of the Lord is a manifestation of God the Son. Even more, they argue that this Angel appears more often than people realize, because he appears under different titles, including: the Word, the Name, the Glory, the ...

Union with Christ is an important theological and practical concept that has received considerable attention in recent years.

A significant tension exists between the modern scientific picture of the universe and the Biblical one. On the standard scientific picture, the universe started in a ‘Big Bang’ ‒ the explosion of a speck of highly concentrated matter 14 billion years ago. According to the Bible, God created the universe in six days about ten thousand years ago. On the scientific picture, the universe has evolved and continues to develop under the operation of fixed laws and chance. According to the Bible, God acts in the universe in providence and judgment, human beings are responsible for their ...

“In the beginning, God created the earth, and he looked upon it in His cosmic loneliness. And God said, "Let Us make living creatures out of mud, so the mud can see what We have done." And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man. Mud as man alone could speak. God leaned close to mud as man sat up, looked around, and spoke. Man blinked. "What is the purpose of all this?" he asked politely. "Everything must have a purpose?" asked God. "Certainly," said man. "Then I leave it to you to think of one for all this," said God. And He went away.” –Kurt Vonnegut, ...
