If the theory of evolution is correct, then death did not come by Adam as Paul states in his epistles; rather, death is the mechanism by which man has evolved. The theory of natural selection is dependent upon the assumption that there was death in the world before the appearance of man and that dea...

In a series of studies by Solomon E. Asch (1955),1 it was found that three out of four people tested agreed with a group of people giving false answers on some comparisons of the lengths of lines. In each of these experiments, an unsuspecting subject was put in a room full of three or more people co...

The subject of Biblical archaeology is a vast one, so it will be necessary to confine comments here to only a few of the multitude of cases in which archaeological discoveries have vindicated Biblical claims. At many times in the past, scholars have assumed the Bible to be inaccurate until new archa...

During the course of the history of Israel, the authors of the Old Testament made constant references to the portions of the Hebrew Scriptures that had already been written.

No book has ever been the subject of more continued attacks upon it than the Bible. Despite the assaults mounted upon it for millennia, it has emerged unscathed. F.

Jesus Christ assumed the absolute authority of the Old Testament as God's word. Along these lines, Roger Nicole has written: At the very threshold of his public ministry, our Lord, in his dramatic victory over Satan's threefold onslaught, rested his whole defense on the authority of three passages ...

According to the New Testament, nobody can be saved apart from Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12, John 14:6), and those who do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah will die in their sins (John 8:24). What, then, is the eternal destiny of those who have never heard about Jesus, the savior of the world? The te...

While rationalism took hold as a result of the philosophical work of Ren‚ Descartes, the tendency to make man the measure of all things certainly did not originate with his philosophy. This tendency characterized some of the leaders of the Renaissance, who were also often anthropocentric, or humanis...
