Well, blogging surely has been slow around here. It may remain that way. I’d rather say something of substance on occasion instead of vacuous posts going up regularly. That said, life has also gotten in the way. Yes, there is life outside of blogging. I’ve been through an extremely rough patch for the last...
Please let me know what you would recommend one to read if he were to wish to study more in this area.
the system is thoroughly atheistic, and therefore cannot possibly stand. God has revealed his existence and his government of the world so clearly and so authoritatively, that any philosophical or scientific speculations inconsistent with those truths are like cobwebs in the track of a Darwin, therefore, does teach precisely what Dr....
Often much is made of the so-called parallels between the Genesis account of creation and various Ancient Near Eastern texts. This is an attempt to consider a few things concerning the Enuma Elish and the Genesis account of creation. When on high the heaven had not been named, Firm ground below had not...
Today is a good day for a re-run post. This was originally posted in March 2010. It seems fashionable today for a person to state that creationism is of recent origin. In fact, those who claim this often take their claim further and state that it began with E.G. White and the Seventh Day...
The first verse of the first book of the Bible teaches, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” Gen. 1:1 and the writer of the epistle to the Hebrews asserts, “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out...
I’m glad I’m not alone in resisting parallelomania. Leithart doesn’t seem to like comparing Genesis and Gilgamesh or Enuma Elish. Note his statement (emphasis mine): The fact that both Babylonians and Hebrews look up and see a blue dome above them (which is what I see too!) pales in comparison with the radical difference...
My online friend, Marv, says “no.” we see Jesus, quite literally, rising up, when ascending to the Father. Did he need to do this? Who knows? But He did. And we have the same upstairs downstairs theme in visionary revelation of otherwise invisible spiritual realities: Gen. 28:12, 17: is the a vision of Jacob’s “ladder.” In Rev....
Some say Ellen G. White, George McReady Price, and Seventh Day Adventism. Joel’s post here is an example. They are very mistaken. Dr. Terry Mortenson has written a book based upon his thesis that examines the writings of geologists who were not influenced by Ellen G. White, and who wrote before the birth of...
On the 5th page of his book, The Art of Biblical Poetry, Robert Alter states that the first line of poetry in the Bible is Genesis 2:23: Then the man said, ”This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out...
