    People like me are often called Biblical literalists and I am and I don’t mind being called that way. What does that mean really, people ask?No one thinks you believe the Bible without some metaphor or poetry at all,no one see’s it that way.So how should a truly saved person read the Bible with 66…

    Here is a link to part one Chapter 13.6 in the Hebrew וְאָמַ֣ר אֵלָ֔יו מָ֧ה הַמַּכּ֛וֹת הָאֵ֖לֶּה בֵּ֣ין יָדֶ֑יךָ וְאָמַ֕ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֻכֵּ֖יתִי בֵּ֥ית מְאַֽהֲבָֽי: “And was said to him ,what are these wounds between your hands?And he said,that which I was wounded in the house of my friends.” I think that says it all,that is…

    Before I was a true believer I often thought when I was told you need to be born again that if this was so important then why does the Bible not mention this issue more?Mainly because most people primarily quote John 3:3 almost always. John 3:1-8 NIV 3″ Now there was a Pharisee, a man named…

    Modern science says that the universe is 13.8 billion years old but the Jewish year in 5784 from creation and the Dead Sea Scroll calendar says it is 5948 from creation.I have been long against pre Adamic type theories however my argument is more along the lines that the nature of time may have changed over…

    This belief is dying but for a long time people thought that it was the voyage of Columbus that taught us the world is round.
