    An Honest History (Genesis 12)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 17, 2024

    Nations often whitewash their history leaving out the bad. Does frank honesty about the strengths and weaknesses of patriarchs, prophets and apostles help us trust the Bible as true history?

    What are the four places where the seed of the word is broadcast? Why did Jesus speak in parables to outsiders? Is light to be hidden under a basket? How is God’s kingdom like harvesting?

     | 38 views

    Is discounting the world history in the ancient document, we call the Bible, dishonest? Let's discuss the history of nations from Genesis 10.

    The history of the world takes into account many ancient documents. Is discounting the history recorded in the world’s most popular document, the Bible, rather dishonest?

    The Flood Ends (Genesis 8)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 12, 2024
     | 46 views

    DNA evidence seems to confirm our descent from Noah's three sons and the historic time of the flood. Let's discuss this in Genesis 8.

    Is there evidence for our descent from Noah’s three sons and their wives? Mitochondrial DNA (female) seems to show three main branches, inline with what we would expect from the three wives of Noah’s sons. Recent studies of the number of mutations in Y-chromosome DNA sequence (male) indicate only ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 11, 2024
     | 50 views

    Is there geological evidence for a flood? Let's discuss this in Genesis 7.

     | 52 views

    As the giver of life, did God have the right to take it back? Let's explore the reasons for the great flood in Genesis 6.

    Was God grieved by the human evils of Noah’s day? Is our world getting just as bad? As the giver of life, does God have the right to take it away? Let’s discuss this in Genesis 6.

     | 71 views

    Do we believe the eyewitness testimony of patriarchal history or the unreliable data from chronometric dating? Let's take a look at Genesis 5.

    Which is more reliable, eyewitness testimony including genealogies or wildly unreliable chronometric dating methods? If ancient patriarchs walked with God, can we walk and talk with God too? Was it Enoch’s faith that pleased God? Can we also have such faith? Let’s find out in a document possibly ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 7, 2024
     | 126 views

    Brother killing brother has gone on since the beginning. Let's examine this topic in light of Genesis 4.

    Brother has been killing brother since the beginning and our world still hasn't learned to love instead of hate: Hutu killing Tutsi, China threatening Taiwan, Russia attacking Ukraine, Israel and Palestine, the unwelcomed refugee, the unwelcomed innocent unborn child.

    The Garden (Genesis 2)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 3, 2024
     | 96 views

    What are some lessons we can learn from the garden? This will probably make some people mad, but let's not be offended, let's search for God's will in our lives. We'll be in Genesis 2.

    The first creation account does not actually end in Genesis 1, but continues into the next chapter. Let’s look at Genesis 2. Did God bless the seventh day from creation? Did God later reinstitute this day during the Exodus? Did Jesus or the Apostles command this day for the church? What spiritual ...read more

Is the creation account literal history, allegory, a polemic, mythical history, majestic prose or something else? In the Beginning Who made everything that is in the material universe? In the ...read more
