    Did Noah's Flood Cover the Entire Earth?

    The Hebrew "kol eretz" (or "erets") is translated in KJV as referring to the whole earth in the story of Noah. But in the story of Abraham, found later in the same book of Genesis, the KJV translation refers to the local region of Ur and not the whole earth. The same Hebrew word is often used...

    From when Israel had no king: "And the Lord said to Samuel, 'Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me. . .they have forsaken me and served other gods, so they are doing to you also. Now therefore, heed their voice...

    Why Do Some Bible Versions Have Italicized Words?

    In some versions of the Bible, including KJV and NKJV, certain words are in italics. Such words are not italicized for emphasis as in most English writings. Rather, these are words added for clarity and are not in the original Hebrew nor Greek. This is sometimes necessary because neither Hebrew...

    What is the "Firmament" in Genesis?

    The word translated as "firmament" still found in many modern bibles literally means "expansion" in Hebrew Genesis 1:6. Genesis agrees in many distinct ways with modern 21st Century cosmology and, it does not claim that God creates species one at a time. Rather according to Genesis, the waters...

    Who is the Father of Many Nations?

    Unlike some assume, God does not promise that Abraham will be the father of one nation, Israel. Rather, God promises Abraham that he will be the father of "a multitude of nations (the Hebrew literally means multitude of nations)" Genesis 17:5. Jesus is instrumental in carrying out this promise...

    Creation or Magically Appearing Universes?

    The modern evidence clearly demonstrates that God creates living forms of life to adapt and change to ever-changing environments. God's creation is living, dynamic and fluid and in constant flux, not static. Darwin is right about that. What Darwin is wrong about is what is called "natural...

    What is the Importance of "I AM"?

    In the Old Testament, God says to Moses: "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you" Exodus 3:14. In the New Testament, Jesus says: "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM" John 8:58. This is the only concept of God tracing from ancient times, that...

    Is There Historical Evidence for Abraham?

    A city called Haran is mentioned in the travels of Abram (later named Abraham by God), a man who came from the region of Ur, a well-documented ancient Mesopotamian city. Historians have identified Haran, where Abram's father died, in modern-day Turkey; Abram later continues his journey to a land...

    Is Adam and Eve Scientifically Accurate?

    Modern science has discovered that due to what is called species-crossbreeding and weaker strains along the genetic trail being weeded out, all people living on earth today share a recent ancestor no older than Noah in the Bible and quite possibly, considerably younger. This means that the...
