What Does The Bible Say When Prophecy Is 99% Accurate?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 19, 2021

Modern ‘Profits’ are always quick to point out they 'prophesied' a current event before it happened

I previously gave a message entitled “Does God Give Ministry Mulligans When Prophecy is Wrong?” As a non-cessationist, I am saddened, but not surprised, to say that there continue to be genuine Bible academics who are making myopic and poor apologetic attempts to rationalize and justify the ...read more

Perspective And Persuasion (March 20, 2009)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 15, 2022

Unlike Agrippa, Festus would not have been familiar with the prophets, like Agrippa because he was not as familiar with the Jewish religion. Paul was speaking soberly about his subject.

ACTS 26: 28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You almost persuade me to become a Christian." 29 And Paul said, "I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains." PERSPECTIVE AND ...read more

"nimrod's Folly"

Contributed by John Huyser on Sep 5, 2023

From Sunday School I remember vividly all sorts of lessons on The Tower of Babel. I think almost all of them missed the mark. The issue is far less the Tower of Babel - in fact the tower is a symptom of humanity wanting to do their own thing without God. Jesus came down to reverse that.

It was a moment of folly, a church in Northwest Iowa prefers to forget. Busting at the seams, they broke ground on a new building in the early eighties. Their sanctuary and parking lot would double in size. Featured too were a large kitchen and fellowship hall and many a classroom and extra ...read more

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Sep 14, 2023

Let's take a look at how Jesus responded to the people's charge of Him being insane.

Tonight’s passage is a difficult one to break down and try to explain. Jesus has gone to Jerusalem and in verse 14 from last time, Jesus has stepped up in public at the temple and began to preach. What we have been looking at the last two studies are the reactions to Jesus’ claims. We looked at ...read more
