Questions In Genesis (Answers In The Gospels)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 31, 2024

Genesis does not give us the final answers. Rather it poses a lot of questions and mysteries which are only answered later in the Gospels. Let's look at some of those questions.

Excellent resources are the ministry of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Research Institute. However, there are questions in Genesis not answered until the Gospels. Let’s look at some of those questions. At creation, God described humanity as “very good.” Are we now totally depraved or ...read more

Jehovah Jireh, My Provider

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 16, 2024

Today we look at the story of Genesis 22, and God's call to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac at Mt. Moriah. To fully understand the story, we need to look deep into Abraham's life, and see how God kept all His promises to Abraham, so we can see how he keeps His promises to us.

Jehovah Jireh, My Provider Good Morning. And a Happy Father’s Day. Today, we revisit Genesis 22, which, I will grant, that on the surface, seems to be a horrible Father’s Day reading.
