IVORIES FOUND AT SAMARIA AND NIMRUD CONFIRM BIBLICAL ACCOUNTS

IVORIES FOUND AT SAMARIA AND NIMRUD CONFIRM BIBLICAL ACCOUNTS

“All your words are true”—Psalm 119:160 NIV

“All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever”—1 Peter 1:24,25 NIV

The Bible documents the age-old trade and use of ivory. The unified 12 tribe kingdom under Solomon’s peaceful 40 year reign gained great material prosperity. 

“The king [Solomon] had a fleet of trading ships at sea along with the ships of Hiram. Ince every three years it returned, carrying gold, silver and ivory, and apes and baboons”—1 Kings 10:22 NIV read more

EVIDENCE of the GREAT EARTHQUAKE IN AMOS & ZECHARIAH

EVIDENCE of the GREAT EARTHQUAKE IN AMOS & ZECHARIAH

“The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa–the vision he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel”—Amos 1:1 NIV

Recent geological studies have detected a massive seismic event, apparently a huge 8.2 earthquake, in the area where Amos lived. This event, which has been dated to around 760-750 BCE,  which was during the latter part of the long reign of Judean king Uzziah (792–740 BCE), and was the largest ever detected on the Dead Sea transform fault.  read more

IS ASTROLOGY HARMLESS, or DANGEROUS?

IS ASTROLOGY HARMLESS, or DANGEROUS?

Astrology is an ancient pseudo-science which has been proven to be false in every way. The positions and movements of stars and planets have been proven to have no effect on the actions and choices of humans on earth. It was commonly practiced in the ancient world, and appears to have its roots in Babylon. There have been many cuneiform tablets discovered from the area of ancient Babylon, Assyria, and Persia, which contain astrological charts and other astrological references.

Astrology creates the impression that life is fatalistic, or pre-determined, and manipulates people to believe in false predictions. The Bible mentions astrology and astrologers in an unfavorable light. read more

RECENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES OF ASHERAH WORSHIP IN ANCIENT ISRAEL

RECENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES OF ASHERAH WORSHIP IN ANCIENT ISRAEL

God’s chosen people were warned against the worship of the pagan fertility false goddess Ashrah prior to entering the promised land. Archaeological evidence discovered provides ample evidence of such false worship.

“Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cur down their Asherah poles”—Exodus 34:13 NIV

Despite the clear warning against Ashram worship, many Israelites adopted Asherah and El, or Baal, (her supposed male consort) worship anyway. Frequently wooden cult objects representing Asherah were erected in what were considered to be sacred places.  read more

IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE OF A TRINITY IN REVELATION 17-22?

IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE OF A TRINITY IN REVELATION 17-22?

Let’s look at the evidence to see if the Trinity doctrine is in Revelation chapters 17-22. The word “trinity” is never mentioned, just as it is never mentioned anywhere else in the Bible, and God, Jesus, and the holy Spirit are never mentioned in the same verse or even in the same context, in these chapters. So, let’s examine the evidence that we do find in these chapters, and see where it leads us! 

“The Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings”—Revelation 17:14 NIV . Trinitarians claim that Jesus’ titles here, “Lord of lords and King of kings,” mean that he is Almighty God, because Almighty God also has these same titles. However, their claim is undercut by scriptural evidence from Ezra 7:12 where “Artaxerxes” is identified as “king of kings” (NIV), and by Daniel 2:37 where “Nebuchadnezzar” (Daniel 2:1),is also identified as “the king of kings” (NIV). Even more powerfully, “the Lamb”, who is Jesus Christ, is identified as “the Lord of lords and King of kings”(NIV). The “Lamb” was “slain” (Revelation 5:6 NIV), and Jesus said he “was dead” (Revelation 1:18 NIV). Since the Scriptures tell us that “God . . . will never die” (Habakkuk 1:12 NIV), Jesus Christ cannot be Almighty God! read more

ARE ALMIGHTY GOD & JESUS PART OF A TRINITY IN REVELATION 11-16?

ARE ALMIGHTY GOD & JESUS PART OF A TRINITY IN REVELATION 11-16?

When we carefully examine what the scriptures have to tell us about this issue, the truth becomes vey clear that the Trinity doctrine is not found in the scriptures, not in Revelation chapters 11-16, nor in any other part of the Bible.

“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign forever and ever . . . We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun to reign”—Revelation 11:15,17 NIV read more

ARE THE SOVEREIGN LORD AND THE LAMB PART OF A TRINITY?–REVELATION 6-7

ARE THE SOVEREIGN LORD AND THE LAMB PART OF A TRINITY?–REVELATION 6-7

Revelation and the gospel of John are two of the most devastating books in the Bible to the false doctrine of the Trinity. Notice who allegorical Christians who have been executed for their faith are said to pray to:

“How long, Sovereign Lord . . . “—Revelation 6:10 NIV

They pray to “the Sovereign Lord,” not to “the Lamb,” Jesus Christ, nor to the Holy Spirit.

“Fall over us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of their wrath has come”—Revelation 6:16,17 NIV read more

“THE SACRIFICE OF THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST”

“THE SACRIFICE OF THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST”

“We have been made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time”—Hebrews 10:10 NIV

Most Christian churches and preachers claim that Jesus’ physical body was resurrected. However, the Bible, as we can see above, says that Jesus’ body was sacrificed. What does that mean?

According to Numbers chapters 28 and 29, “burnt offerings” (Numbers 29:39 NIV) were to be made by God’s people, the Israelites, “each day” of the year (Numbers 28:3 NIV), plus additional “burnt offerings” every “Sabbath day” (Numbers 28:9 NIV), “on the first of every month” (Numbers 28:11 NIV), and even more on other festival days they were commanded to observe in the spring and fall each year. read more

Was The Earth & the Universe Created In Six 24 Hour Days 6,000 Years Ago?

Was The Earth & the Universe Created In Six 24 Hour Days 6,000 Years Ago?

Revised April 25, 2024

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”—Genesis 1:1

Modern astronomical science now agrees with the Bible that the universe had a beginning. Many people, including those who believe in Young Earth Creationism (YEC), think that the entire universe, including the earth, was created in six literal 24 hour days 6,000 years ago. This idea is in conflict with astronomical science, which has proven the universe is about 13.7 billion years old. Two lines of evidence for this are the number of light years away the farthest galaxies are from us, and the second is the Cosmic Background Radiation. Astronomers and scientists are forced to accept this fact, even though they are uncomfortable with the Biblical implications. read more

THE EVIDENCE PROVES GOD’S EXISTENCE

THE EVIDENCE PROVES GOD’S EXISTENCE

“Even when walking in the street the fool, lacking understanding, calls everyone a fool”—Ecclesiastes 10:3 NAB

BIBLICAL CHRISTIANITY REQUIRES LESS FAITH TO BELIEVE IN THAN ATHEISM

While Christians are often derided for their seemingly “blind faith” in the Creator/God’s existence, the facts give powerful evidence the Biblical Creator/God is real. 

The overwhelming scientific evidence confirms the essential truths of the “Big Bang”. In just the last 100 years, scientists, such as cosmologists and astronomers, have been forced by their very own discoveries to admit the universe had a beginning, which harmonizes with what the Bible stated as fact thousands of years ago. For example: read more
