Let me toss in another point which struck me as very remarkable. The inscription on the cross JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS was written in 3 languages: Greek, Latin and Hebrew. Now, everybody knew Greek, so any soldier could have written that. Latin narrows it down a bit further, so...

Hi Marksman How about toning down the remarks a bit? Remember: 'In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves'. Otherwise the moderators will probably be breathing down your neck pretty soon. If they haven't done so already.

There are 2 serious problems with that view. First, Paul thought it was a serpent: 2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. Second, there is the little matter of...

Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles. Timothy was half Roman, and I don't know where Timothy was at the time Paul wrote, but it's reasonably likely that he was at one of the churches in the NT - which were all Gentile churches, apart from Corinth.

How could a serpent fall? It has no moral sense, and cannot be guilty of murder. (Jesus: 'He was a murderer from the beginning' Notice too, the murderer is described as 'he'. A beast can only be described as an 'it') Manslaughter, maybe, as the bull that gored someone had to be killed under the...

Pilate is an extraordinary case. I've counted at least 9 occasions when he tries to get Jesus exonerated, and the case dropped. He is, strangely enough, Jesus' advocate in this trial, and quotes scripture once in a most pointed way, and declares his own (Pilate's) innocence in a most...

Can someone, on either side of this debate (and I really don't see why there should be a debate on the subject) please explain what Paul meant by: 1 Tim 2.10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I...

Imagination is essential to any kind of good Bible study. The following is an imaginative reconstruction of the Transgression in Eden, and an attempt to figure out what the place was like. Far too many people regard the garden of Eden Story as a fairy tale. But Jesus didn’t, and that alone...

THE BATS AND ECHOLOCATION There are 3 groups of flying animals in existence today: the birds, the bats and the insects. The pterosaurs are now extinct. Each of these presents evolution with insuperable problems, but my especial favourite is the bat. It’s a shame they have had such bad press...

Nobody has mentioned the best and simplest one of all: the Online Bible. It's free, though you have to buy any of the versions not loaded as freeware, like the Amplified Bible, CJB, NIV and perhaps others. It's got Strong's on board, and the facility to find any occurrences of any Greek or...

The flight from reason: the evolution of birds Imagine if you will, the following situation: A new plane flies from Hawaii, travels across 2,800 miles of heaving Pacific ocean where no landmarks are, and lands in Alaska. There, to everyone’s surprise, it manufactures 4 or 5 new planes...

I'm Asyncritus, and I look forward to having lively discussions on the board. I am particularly hostile to evolution, and will probably spend most of my time there. I am also heavily into scriptural exposition and will also be there. Not much into the social forums though. So hi guys!
