Rome Forbids the Bible

Rome Forbids the Bible

Genesis 2:24 – A Man of Many Wives

Genesis 2:24 – A Man of Many Wives

1 Kings 11:3

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.

1 Timothy 3:2

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober–minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach . . .

The Charismatic Movements – The Greatest Faith Healer’s – Died Of Sickness and Disease

The Charismatic Movements – The Greatest Faith Healer’s – Died Of Sickness and Disease

Does God heal today? Yes. I’ve seen it and i’ve seen it medically verified. That said, does God “always heal” or always heal in response to faith? No. Listen up, Charismatics; you’ve been lied to. The very grifters who you look to for your “healing teaching” all died from serious sickness and disease; all of them. In fact, the biggest grifter of them all who’s still alive, Kenneth Copeland, has a pacemaker; without it … he’d be dead already. And yet … it’s these guys teaching that God’s will is “always” to heal. Those of you who who teach this… one day 99% of of you will die of a sickness/disease; the 1% will die naturally.

Was There Enough Room in the Ark?

Was There Enough Room in the Ark?

One of the common arguments used by skeptics against the biblical account of the flood claims that Noah’s Ark could not possibly have accommodated all the millions of species of animals.

Genesis 2:19 – Of Water or of Land?

Genesis 2:19 – Of Water or of Land?

Those who reject the inspiration of the Bible have searched it tirelessly for hundreds of years in attempts to find a legitimate contradiction or discrepancy. Time and again their efforts have done nothing to strengthen their case, but have done much to strengthen the Bible’s credibility. In what appears to be skeptics “grasping for straws,” one of their latest allegations has been to assert that a contradiction exists between Genesis 1:20-22 and 2:19. These infidels claim that 1:20-22 teaches that birds were formed out of the water, whereas 2:19 teaches that they were formed out of the ground. What, if anything, can be said about their allegations?

Is the Charismatic Movement Demonic?

Is the Charismatic Movement Demonic?

As someone who loves researching my history, family tree and genetics, I took this interest and began looking into the modern Charismatic movement and how it was shaped into what it is today and what I’ve found is that it’s is a complex maze of genuine spiritual hunger mixed with doctrinal heresy, demonic manifestations, false prophets, false prophecy and severe moral failure in it’s most celebrated leaders. What started as a genuine, Holy Spirit led awakening morphed into the insanity that it is today. In this post, we’re going to look at the “family tree and DNA” of the movement.

Genesis 2:18-25 – Does 2 Samuel 12 Support Polygamy?

Genesis 2:18-25 – Does 2 Samuel 12 Support Polygamy?

Scripture never established concubines or polygamy as an ordained institution, but it did establish marriage between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24). While Scripture never established polygamy as a viable practice, it never “abolishes” it either. God had to frame some parameters around polygamy to protect vulnerable people from sinful inclinations. He also did the same for divorce and slavery. There were also some man-made laws to protect the abuse of power.

Hydraulic Plants and Animals

Hydraulic Plants and Animals

Hydraulics are part of our everyday lives. Fluids, such as the brake fluid used in your car, cannot be compressed so when you step on the brake pedal that fluid can be forced from a cylinder into the braking mechanisms attached to your wheels. All hydraulic machines work in a similar way because the fluid used will flow easily to areas where there is less pressure.

Genesis 2:18-20 – Too Much Activity on Day Six?

Genesis 2:18-20 – Too Much Activity on Day Six?

One of the reasons skeptics reject the validity of the biblical account of creation is because they find it impossible to believe that one man could name every single species of animal on the Earth in a single day. Considering there are only 86,400 seconds in a 24-hour period, we are told it is ridiculous to believe that an individual (who had never seen animals before the day he named them) could name several million species of animals in one day. Perhaps over a period of a few weeks he could accomplish such a task, but certainly not in a single day—right?

Beware of Tony Campolo

Beware of Tony Campolo

Tony Campolo (1935-2024) was a popular “evangelical” speaker and author. He was professor emeritus of Sociology at Eastern University and an ordained minister in the liberal American Baptist Convention. He served as an associate pastor of the Mount Carmel Baptist Church in West Philadelphia, whereas his wife attends Central Baptist Church in Wayne, Pennsylvania. In an interview with me at the New Baptist Covenant Celebration in Atlanta in January 2008, he confirmed that he and his wife attended different churches.

Genesis 2:18-19 – Did God Create Animals or Man First?

Genesis 2:18-19 – Did God Create Animals or Man First?

After reading the first two chapters of the Bible, some skeptics, in an attempt to disprove the Bible’s inerrancy, have accused the writer of Genesis of erring in regard to the record of events occurring on day six of creation. While Genesis 1:24-27 plainly indicates that man was created after the animals, critics claim that Genesis 2:18-19 teaches that man was created before animals. They strongly assert that such language by the author of Genesis proves that the Bible is not divinely inspired.
