    Gen 6:15-16

    †. Gen 6:15a . .This is how you shall make it: Some have objected that since paper and writing were not yet invented in Noah's day, then God couldn't possible have provided Noah with plans to the ark. But any pictograph, even one on a clay tablet or a rock face, qualifies as a drawing. That...

    Easter

    . And yet you counter the word of God by quoting Ecclesiastes; which is a book of human reasoning through and through. Afterlife opponents often quote the book of Ecclesiastes; which is a fatal error because proof texts related to the afterlife drawn from the book of Ecclesiastes are...

    Gen 6:11b-14

    †. Gen 6:11b . . the earth was filled with lawlessness. Crime is pretty much the inevitable outcome in a world of sinful beings sans law and order.

    The Truth About Born Again Christians

    . It's a pity there is so much disagreement among Christians as to the nature of the regeneration about which the Lord spoke at John 3:3-8 because this is one of the supernatural components of Christianity that is neither an option nor a recommendation-- on the contrary, regeneration is a must...

    Gen 6:8-11a

    †. Gen 6:8 . . But Noah found favor with The Lord. The word for "favor" is from chen (khane) and means: graciousness. Translators sometimes render chen as grace. It can be either grace or favor; but the important thing is that The Lord didn't find chen with Noah. No, just the opposite-- Noah...

    Gen 6:5-7

    †. Gen 6:5 . .Yhvh saw how great was man's wickedness on earth, and how every plan devised by his mind was nothing but evil all the time. It's one thing to be guilty of an evil act.

    Gen 6:3-4

    . †. Gen 6:3a . . And the Lord said: My Spirit shall not strive with man forever Some translations have "abide" instead of strive. But the Hebrew word is diyn (deen) which means: to rule; by implication: to judge (as umpire); also to strive (as at law). It can also mean to plead the cause of...

    †. Gen 5:28-29 . .When Lamech had lived 182 years, he begot a son. And he named him Noah, saying, “This one will provide us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands, out of the very soil which the Lord placed under a curse.” The word for "Noah" is from nuwach (noo'-akh) and means...

    Gen 5:10-27

    †. Gen 5:10 . . After the birth of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and begot sons and daughters. You know, some of these guys really didn't accomplish very much. All they seemed to do was reproduce. But the important thing is: they made a line to Messiah and, as is the duty of patriarchs...

    Testing Faith With Snakes

    . I lived in San Diego County forty years before moving to northwest Oregon.

    What Is A Birth From Above?

    . It's been my experience that quite a few Bible students are unaware that the resurrection of the just consists of two components, and the resurrection of the damned consists of only one; viz: the just are resurrected both internally and externally, while the damned are resurrected only...

    What Is A Birth From Above?

    Some people construe "now is" to indicate the saints who came up out of their graves at Mtt 27:50-53. But that won't work because where are those saints today? They're all gone; and there's no record of them having ascended to heaven with Christ when he departed. The resurrection about which the...

    Gen 4:13-16a

    †. Gen 4:13 . . Cain said to the Lord: My punishment is too great to bear! His punishment was actually very lenient. It's true that Cain would struggle to survive; but at least he was allowed to live. His kid brother was dead. How is that fair? FAQ : How did Cain get off with only a slap on...
