The darkness upon the earth in Genesis 1:2 is not referring to evilness. This verse provides a simple, accurate description of the forming of planet earth. In the beginning, the earth’s surface was dark covered with thick clouds. Light could not penetrate the thick [...]
There are a couple of Scriptures which allude to the answer. First, when God created Adam and Eve, He told them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth." (Genesis 1:28) Again, He told Jacob to "be fruitful and multiply; A nation and a [...]
You are correct that God knew "the world was going to be like this". With that knowledge He could have created man as a robot programmed not to sin, but instead He gave Adam a conscience (a moral sense), told him the rules and gave [...]
Revelation 19:6, "...Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!" Yes, our Father is omnipotent, all powerful, all seeing.But He is a Father, not a robot-builder. His creation was given the power of choice, along with all other powers and privileges attached to their level [...]
This question may be on the minds of a lot of people these days. Looking at the trouble that is happening around the world makes people ask “if God exists, why would he let this happen? If God exists, why is he so quiet?” [...]
It may be hard to understand, but nobody made God. If there was an answer to “who made God,” the next logical question would be “then who made the entity that made God?” This could be a never-ending cycle. Our understanding of the nature of [...]
God did create a perfect earth and a perfect human family to enjoy it! In Genesis, we are told that after God created Adam, He pronounced His creation “very good.” Adam was indeed a perfect man living in a perfect home. But Adam’s free [...]
In the book of Genesis, we read that in the beginning God created first a man (Adam) to exercise dominion over his creation and subsequently a woman (Eve) as the man's "suitable helper" (Genesis 2:18, 20). Then Genesis goes on to say: "Therefore a [...]
God did not create a wife before Eve. If another woman were created for Adam, how was she created? Did God take two ribs from Adam when the scriptures say that God took only one rib bone? Did this other woman have children?Since none of us [...]
This is a scripture that needs thoughtful consideration. The translators of the various Bible versions seem to disagree somewhat as to exactly what the scripture says. The King James reads: "For thou hast made [man] a little lower than the angels..." The Jerusalem Bible [...]
In the King James Version (KJV) Bible the whole scripture Psalm 139:14 reads: "I will praise thee: for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well." The Old Testament scriptures were originally written in Hebrew, [...]
The Bible doesn't state it is an evil tree. God said in Genesis 2:17,"But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it…" Its name indicates that eating its fruit would in some way open the eater's eyes [...]
We know from biblical chronology that Adam was created approximately 6,000 years ago. Therefore, the earth would have to be older than 6,000 years. In fact, we believe that the earth is very old. Scientists used to think the earth was about 100 million years old. They [...]
Both males and females have Adam’s Apples. The Adam’s Apple is thyroid cartilage. When the larynx or voice box grows during puberty, it sticks out at the front of the throat. A girl’s larynx does not grow as much as a boy’s does. The [...]
There is only one skin color: a brown pigment called melanin. All of humanity has basically the same skin color, just differing amounts of melanin. People with very little melanin have “white” skin. Those with a lot of melanin have very dark brown or “black” [...]

Yes. Originally, as God created him, he was holy, pure, grand of character and of a high order of angelic nature, a "covering cherub" (Ezekiel 28:16). His name was Lucifer, meaning "Day Star." According to the Bible, of his own free will, he became Satan, meaning adversary or [...]
A critical examination of this passage in the Hebrew language in which the Old Testament was written discloses the fact that Joshua never requested the Lord to cause the sun and moon to stand still. His request was that the sunlight and the moonlight [...]
It is passing strange that antiquarians which acknowledging the skill, ingenuity and wisdom of the ancients, evidencing a degree of civilization far in advance of any other prior to that of the present day, persist in calling the earlier peoples of the earth, "barbarous" [...]
As the Scriptures are silent on this subject, and as much as the gentler and fairer sex is to be admired, to be in harmony with the Bible, and to answer the question therefrom (however painful it may be to state the fact) it [...]
