If Satan exists, then we have powerful evidence for the validity of the Scriptural claims concerning supernatural activity. The demonic activity that has taken place in all ages is a testimony to the existence of a powerful spiritual force opposed to God. There are references to Satanic activity in ...

Josephus (A.D. 37-c.100) stated that, in the country called Carroe, there were "in it the remains of the ark, wherein it is related that Noah escaped the deluge, and where they are still shown to such as are desirous to see them."1 Elsewhere, Josephus wrote: However, the Armenians call this place ,...

The Biblical narratives carry with them the claim of authenticity for the events they describe.

The use of modern higher Biblical criticism, employing the methods of literary criticism in establishing date and authorship of cano...

The Hebrew Scriptures were recognized as authoritative at their inception, and were immediately accepted as such by the Jewish people. The acceptance of the Pentateuch, for example, is recorded in Deuteronomy 32:46-47, and in Joshua 1:7,8. As a matter of course, the Church of the first century regar...
