    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 14, 2011
     | 3,123 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Introduction Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books of the Bible. These books have been debated for ...read more

    A very easy-to-understand teaching on Revelation 3.

    I remember when I was in grade school, I really thought that going to school was a waste of time. I knew the teachers were well educated, but I also thought that, as we lived and grew older, nobody would ever need all the information they were trying to teach us. A good friend of mine agreed ...read more

    An easy-to-understand study on Revelation 4.

    There are three views on the Rapture.

    An easy-to-read and easy-to-understand study on Revelation 9.

    In Mel Gibson’s movie, “THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST”, there was one detail that most people missed. That one detail said so much about whom it was that actually punished Jesus.
