I do not believe Genesis 3:17 took a matter of minutes to happen. I do not believe the “serpent” in these verses was a slithering snake. I do not believe the issue at stake was an apple. All of these misconceptions have entered our minds... read more

Warning: This blog is brutally honest From the time I was touched by God on a mountaintop in New Mexico in 1969 until about 1980, I strove with every ounce of my being to remain pure in my walk with God and avoid the pitfalls I saw so many of my... read more

What takes four books (1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings) is summarized in 1 and 2 Chronicles. Why is this so? Why write four books and then turn around and recap the same material in two more? Scholars and critics of the Bible have debated this... read more
