Is The Bible Really God's Word? Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jan 24, 2013

Research tells us that about 65% of protestant Christians believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. Depending how you look at that it may seem high or low to you. To me it’s cause for concern because a full 35% of professing Christians are not s

However it’s not surprising that the number is so low. It’s very hard to prove and most of us have just believed that it is God’s Word because we were told that it is. That’s very hard for a seeker or unbeliever to blindly accept. If I point a person to the Bible and ...read more

Studies In Genesis: Chapter 1 & 2 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 14, 2011

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. Genesis 1:1-AV In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 0430 ’elohiym {el-o-heem’} plural of 0433; TWOT - 93c; n ...read more
