Apologetic Defense of the faith, the Bible, and Christianity
The full force of the present argument will appeal only to those who are intimately acquainted with the Bible, and the more familiar the reader is with the Sacred Canon the more heartily will he endorse the following statements. Just as a knowledge of Latin is necessary in order to understand the technique of a... Continue Reading →
The Father is the speaker here, the subject of this clause and the shift from the pronoun “me” to “him” in the next clause makes it sounds as though God the Father was the one to be pierced instead of Jesus. (John 19.37; Rev. 1;7)
This argument may be simply and tersely stated thus—Man needed a Divine revelation couched in human language. God had previously given man a revelation of Himself in His created works—which men please to term “nature”—but bears unmistakable testimony to the existence of its Creator, and though sufficient is revealed of God thro’ it to render...

https://www.amazon.com/SPOKEN-WORDS-SACRED-TEXTS-Introduction-Intermediate/dp/1949586987/ Christianity is the religion of a Book. Christianity is based upon the impregnable rock of Holy Scripture.

The necessity is absolute; not merely, “Ye may be born again,” but “Ye must be born again.” See: How Are We to Understand Satan’s Battle for the Christian Mind? Nothing else will take...

Hands down, the Greek Septuagint version is the most important of the early versions of the Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures. In fact, it is the first translation from The Greek Septuagint LXX (meaning, “Seventy”). The translation from Hebrew into Greek began about 280 B.C.E.* According to tradition (more on this below), there were 72 Jewish scholars... Continue Reading →
Textual Character: P4 is of the Alexandrian text-type and agrees with P75 and B 93 percent of the time. The copyist of P4 was likely a professional scribe. “P4 and P75 are identical in forty complete verses, with only five significant exceptions (Luke 3:22, 36; 5:39; 6:11, 14).”... Continue Reading →
The failure to put faith in Jesus Christ is not a mere misfortune, it is a sin, a grievous sin, an appalling sin, a damning sin. “He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” (1901 ASV) ... Continue Reading →
