Alleged Bible Inconsistencies: The Annunciations

May 26, 2010
By

MT 1:18-21 The Annunciation occurred after Mary had conceived Jesus. LK 1:26-31 It occurred before conception. MT 1:20 The angel spoke to Joseph. LK 1:28 The angel spoke to Mary. Wow!  How simplistic can one be? It only takes a cursory reading of the text to see that there are two different events recorded. ...

Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies: Another Genealogy Issue

MT 1:17 There were twenty-eight generations from David to Jesus. LK 3:23-38 There were forty-three. Is this truly an issue of an inconsistency or discrepancy? Could it be that the Biblical writers wrote with a purpose? Could that purpose not necessitate a strict listing of every person in the lineage of Jesus? We have...

More on The Morality of Babies from the NYT

May 14, 2010
By

I linked to a post the other day about babies and morality. Now the New York Times carries a much longer story. All of this research, taken together, supports a general picture of baby morality. It’s even possible, as a thought experiment, to ask what it would be like to see the world in...

Of Liberals and Fundamentalists

While listening to a Teaching Company course by Bart Ehrman I noticed something about liberals (in Ehrman’s case, agnostic) that they have in common with extreme fundamentalists. They both have an interpretation of the Scripture that precludes practically any other interpretation. Their system is based upon their interpretation, and if that interpretation falls, the...

Between a Church and a Hard Place by Andrew Park My rating: 5 of 5 stars Andrew Park was raised in a home that was not so much antagonistic toward Christianity as it was a home that ignored Christianity. It did makes things very tense, however, when his brother became a Christian. Later in...

Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies:Of Temptation And God

September 23, 2009
By

GE 22:1-12, DT 8:2 God tempts (tests) Abraham and Moses. JG 2:22 God himself says that he does test (tempt). 1CO 10:13 Paul says that God controls the extent of our temptations. JA 1:13 God tests (tempts) no one. On the surface this does indeed look like an inconsistency.  Why is it not? It...

Geocentricity, Heliocentricity, Or Relativity?

September 22, 2009
By

Bible believers are often ridiculed because it is assumed that the Bible teaches geocentricity instead of heliocentricity. It is now interesting to read that relativity may be the true answer. “Einstein’s theory of general relativity adds further to the debate. It asserts that it is impossible for a human observer to determine whether any...
