Choices in the Layering

Is what we see in this photo evidence of hundreds of millions of years of deposition and erosion? Or, is it better explained by a global flood and its aftermath? Are advocates of current profound age theories that beg the Genesis flood account for evidence from the geologic column simply missing the possibility that most of the geologic column IS the evidence of the Genesis flood? If the geologic column can be explained reasonably by a theory that matches the Genesis account of a global flood, then what would that mean to you for what the Bible says about human … Continue reading Choices in the Layering

If there was no Biblical Garden of Eden, then there’s no sin forming a chasm between the created and their Creator, and there’s no need for a Savior. Rejecting selectively God’s Word in favor of Naturalism and Universalism leads to people espousing a “christ” publicly but rejecting the historic teachings of the real Jesus Christ in the same instant. There is a direct link between the influences of Naturalism and Universalism upon the Christian church in the West and the continuing Holocaust of the Unborn … Continue reading Creation, the Fall, and Salvation
