It is claimed by scientists that the motion of the earth upon its axis has not varied a second for thousands of years. In view of this, how shall we account for the statement of Joshua 10:13, "The sun and moon stood still and the sun hasted not to go down about a whole day"?

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 [...]

Are there not remains of buried cities in Egypt containing evidence, pictorial drawings, hieroglyphics, etc., which antiquarians are in general agreed evidence a civilized, prosperous, and opulent people living about 7,000 years before the Christian era?

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" [...]

Has woman a soul? We read that man “became a living soul,” but nothing is said about the woman having a soul! Hence my question.

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 [...]

In Genesis 2:7, we read "man became a living soul," and in Job 14:22, we read "his soul within him." Is the soul a part of man, or is the whole of man a living soul?

What is the soul? It is the life-giving quality, the energizing principle, in union with the organism, or body, forms the living, intelligent being. BODY + BREATH OF LIFE = SOUL (Genesis 1:20,30; Genesis 2:7). The word soul in this connection is from the Hebrew [...]

Are animals part of the plan of God?

Because Jesus paid the ransom price by sacrificing his perfect sinless life for Adam and all his progeny, the entire human race has been redeemed and will have a chance for life either in heaven or on earth in the future. “For as in [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Were the six days of creation literal days of 24 hours each?

The Bible refers to other "days" which are not 24-hour periods. For example, we read of a forty-year day in Hebrews 3:8,9, "the day of temptation in the wilderness." We are given the scriptural statement that "One day with the Lord is as a thousand [...]

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 [...]

How can we reconcile Ecclesiastes 1:4, which says the earth “abides forever,” with scientific claims that the solar system is slowly running down and that the earth may one day become cold and lifeless?

Ecclesiastes says that “the earth abides forever,” and this statement can be harmonized with scientific projections without any contradiction. Even if some scientific models suggest that the solar system will eventually run down and the earth could become cold and lifeless, such a scenario [...]

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 [...]

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 appear on the earth?

The fifth day, which is in keeping with the Genesis account (Genesis 1:20-23).In regard to the age of the earth in general, as well as the time frame of each of the six “days,” there is disagreement not only among scientists, but also among Bible [...]

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 [...]
