We hear of so many great fires these days, I wonder if the Bible shows that the earth will be destroyed by actual fire?

An improper conception of the Scriptures has led to many ludicrous conclusions concerning the destruction of the earth by fire. A man in western Pennsylvania became so thoroughly imbued with the thought that the world will be burned up by the Lord in the [...]

Why does God the great creator who has all power and wisdom permit the reign of sin and evil in the earth? When we see all of the sorrow and misery existing in the world because of the evil we wonder that a just and loving creator would permit these things when he has the ability to put an end to them at any time?

This is a very important question and one that thinking minds have pondered by using a fact of history to illustrate the matter. In ancient times during the reign of a just and wise ruler over a large part of the earth, a rebellion [...]

Were the dinosaurs still in existence at the time of Adam's creation and, if so, were they destroyed in the Flood of Noah's day? Which epoch or "day" did the dinosaurs appeared on the earth. Apparently, we alleged that they appeared on the fourth day.

First, we need to make a correction. If we said that it was the fourth day when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, we were incorrect. We should have said the fifth day, which is in keeping with the Genesis account (Genesis 1:20-23). In regard to [...]

Were the six days of creation literal days of twenty-four hours each?

The word "day" as used in the Scriptures, signifies a fixed period of time. We read of a forty year day; "the day of temptation in the wilderness." (`Heb. 3:8,9`.) Again, we have the Scriptural statement that "One day with the Lord is as [...]

Were there two works of creation as narrated in the first and second chapters of Genesis, (Genesis 1 and Genesis 2) or are these simply two accounts of the same works of creation?

The first and second chapters of the book of Genesis are wrongly divided. There are two descriptions of the work of creation. The division of the chapters should show this and be in harmony. The first account is recorded in Genesis chapter 1 through Genesis [...]

Please give the Scripture evidence for the statement that the seventh creative "day" is a period of 7,000 years. Harmonize with the fourth commandment.

Genesis chapters 1 and 2 outline God’s grand act of creation. Chapter 1 divides God’s creative process into six distinct phases which the scriptures refer to as “days.” At the conclusion of many of these phases, God declared the progress of creation during that [...]

The Bible says “The earth abideth forever” (`Ecc. 1:4`). How do we harmonize this with the conclusions reached by scientists that the solar system is gradually running down and that eventually the earth will become cold and lifeless?

Even if the conclusions of scientists were realized as suggested above, it would not be out of harmony with the Bible statement, for the earth would still be "abiding" although in a lifeless form. Various have been the speculations as to the ultimate fate [...]

The scriptures state that God created the Earth not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited (Isaiah 14:18). And also that the earth abideth forever (Ecclesiastes 1:4). This seems to imply that the earth will be populated forever. If this be true, where will they get their supplies from, such as coal, minerals, timber, etc. when the present sources are exhausted?

The earth is composed of different elements. These elements, while they may change their forms and disappear from mortal vision, always remain the same elements. No instance has ever been known of where one element changed into another. But there is constant change taking [...]

Was Adam “born in sin and shapen iniquity” as is stated in the Scriptures of all of his descendants – Psa. 11:5

Strictly speaking, Adam was not born; he was created of the dust of the ground. Science confirms this statement of the Bible, for all of the elements contained in the human body are found in the earth. Man was a distinct creation; and not [...]

If Adam was perfect; how could he have sinned? It seems to me that a perfect man would have acted in a perfect manner. It is the imperfect individual that sins or acts imperfectly. Kindly explain this matter as I am frequently brought face to face with this proposition.(Eve)

From the Scriptural narrative of the creation of man, it is evident that God, the Creator, designed to have an intelligent creature made in His own likeness, with an individual will capable of deciding for good or evil. Man has the power of willing [...]
