Fossil Sheds Light on ‘Jurassic Park’ Dinosaurs

May 3, 2017 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

Herd of dinosaurs — Vouivria herd roaming a coastal lagoon (Imperial College London)

“How countless are your works, Yahweh, all of them made so wisely! The earth is full of your creatures”—-Psalm 104:24 NJB

“Fossil sheds light on ‘Jurassic Park’ dinosaurs” is the title of an article published on May 2, 2017 by BBC News. The article shows how flimsy and precarious the entire theory of macroevolution (Darwinism) is. From a re-examination of one fossil, scientists have come up with a new species of dinosaur!

Then they admit “these animals were evolving much earlier than the fossil record previously has indicated.” That should be worded “much earlier than our theory indicated.” Actually, they say it’s “five million years” older. read more

Christians – Don’t Try to Separate Jews and Gentiles Again!

May 2, 2017 BibleAuthenticity Comments 2 comments

Christians should not separate Jews and Gentiles — “One flock, one shepherd” **(Join 10:16)**, **“one new people from the two groups” (Ephesians 2:15 NLT)**

Should Christians try to separate Jews and Gentile in the church, or in their understanding of how God and Jesus deal with people today, and in the future?

“Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups. Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death”—Ephesians 2:14-16 NLT read more

FISH MUCH SMARTER THAN EVOLUTIONISTS FORMERLY BELIEVED

May 1, 2017 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

“God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds”—Genesis 1:21 NIV

“God will always be true even if no human being can be relied on“—Romans 3:4 NJB

“The wisdom of the world is folly to God. As the scripture says: He traps the wise in the snare of their own cunning”—1 Corinthians 3:19 NJB

BBC News published an article on April 27, 2017, entitled: “Why Fish Do Not Deserve Their Reputation for Forgetfulness.” As with so many other new discoveries, this one has forced evolutionists to revise their theories about fish. Let’s examine some quotes about fish from this article: read more

Can a Believer in the Trinity Have a Relationship with God?

March 29, 2017 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

Relationship with God

The vast majority of Christian churches and preachers teach that the Trinity doctrine is true, and is a vitally important Biblical message. On this basis, therefore many sincere Christians believe in the Trinity doctrine. Can a believer in the Trinity have a relationship with God?

“It is God who judges”—Psalm 75:7 NIV;

“God is a righteous judge”—Psalm 7:11 NIV

“He is a God of justice”—Psalm 50:6 NIV

“Why do you judge your brother or sister?”—Romans 14:10 NIV read more

How the Universe can expand if there is no extra space

February 13, 2017 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

On February 13, 2017, BBC published an article entitled “How the Universe can expand if there is no extra space.” The article can be viewed here.

As God asked Job 3,500 years ago: “Have you grasped the celestial laws?” (Job 38:33 NJB)

We know much more today than Job did then, but our answer would also be: “not really.”

However, the Bible does enlighten us far beyond science, although we appreciate good science.

“Yahweh, my God, how great you are! … You stretch out the heaven like a tent.” (Psalm 104:1-2 NJB) read more

Can God the Father Be the Only Almighty?

February 11, 2017 BibleAuthenticity Comments 1 comment

Is it possible that God the Father is the only one who is Almighty, and his Son, Jesus Christ and the holy Spirit are not Almighty?

“The Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty, and the Holy Spirit Almighty. And yet there are not three Almighties, but one Almighty”—Athanasian Creed

The Trinity doctrine asserts that the three Trinitarian beings “are co-equal and co-eternal.” Let’s examine what the Bible says about Almighty God.

ALMIGHTY GOD IS THE FATHER

“If I am indeed father, where is the honor due to me? says Yahweh Sabaoth” (Malachi 1:6 NJB). “Do we not all have one Father? Has not one God created us?” (Malachi 2:10 NASB). The “one God” is identified with “Yahweh”, the Father. These scriptures thus contradict the Trinity doctrine, which claims the one God is the Trinity – the Father, the Son, and the holy Spirit. God is identified as “one” [Hebrew “echad”], not three-in-one. “Echad” is the numeral “one.” It is not a compound unity. read more

Does God Love Us Unconditionally?

January 18, 2017 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

Is the Bible reliable? — Does God love us unconditionally? What does the Bible say?

Does God love us unconditionally? There is no doubt that God loves us, as John 3:16, says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (NKJV). The principle expressed in John 3:16 means that God does love everyone, in a sense. In another sense, however, there are conditions relative to God’s love.

“If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love”—John 15:10 NAB read more

Trinity Questions in Hebrews

December 23, 2016 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

The Trinity is not a Biblical belief The Trinity is said to be the main doctrine of Christianity. Verses from Hebrews chapter 1 are often used to support the doctrine. However, there are some very valid and legitimate questions about what the verses in Hebrews actually say about the Trinity issue that need to be answered.

Hebrews 1:1 – “In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways” (NIV). Who is the “God” mentioned here?

Hebrews 1:2 – “in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the universe” (NIV). read more

The Trinity Doctrine in the Book of Hebrews?

December 20, 2016 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

Hebrews is a comprehensive treatise about Christian doctrine. Since the Trinity doctrine is asserted to be the main doctrine of Christianity, we would expect Hebrews to include significant mention of the Trinity doctrine, if it is true.

In our series about what is stated concerning God the Father, his Son Jesus, and the holy Spirit in the various books of the New Testament, we examine all the relevant scriptures of each particular book. In this article, we will examine the Letter to the Hebrews, and discover powerful testimony about whether or not the doctrine of the Trinity is in Hebrews. All quotes from NIV, unless noted otherwise. Hebrews says God speaks to through his Son. read more

Why does the Trinity matter? – Is Jesus Christ Almighty God?

December 16, 2016 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

Does the Trinity matter? It matters because the Bible says:

“There is no wisdom, there is no discernment And there is no counsel against Yahweh”—Proverbs 21:30 LSB

Trinity Shield — Does this picture make sense? It is confusing and contradictory!

“Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.” (John 17:3)

The Bible says our eternal life depends on knowing the only true God the Father, and His Son, whom he sent, Jesus Christ. “Knowing” would have to include knowing who they are.

The Athanasian Creed, which many denominations accept, says a person’s eternal life depends on acceptance of certain statements of belief about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (Ghost).

“Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic faith. Which faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled; without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.”

“So that in all things, as aforesaid; the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity, is to be worshipped. He therefore that will be saved, let him thus think of the Trinity.”

“Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation; that he also believe faithfully the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess; that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man; God, of the Substance [Essence] of the Father; begotten before the worlds; and Man, of the Substance [Essence] of his Mother, born in the world. Perfect God; and perfect Man, of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting.”

“And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting; and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire. This is the catholic faith; which except a man believe truly and firmly, he cannot be saved.”—Book of Common Prayer translation. See Schaff (1877b, pp. 66–71) read more
