Questions

Could the serpent talk before the fall of man?
Of course, the Scripture is silent on this. The appearance of a crafty snake prompting Eve to sin is a mystery. The text is interested neither in the origin of evil in the serpent nor in the nature of the serpent. It primaril...
Does the verb in Gen 2:19 affect whether there is a contradiction (of when man was created) between Gen 1 and Gen 2?
The verb is imperfect, which won't solve your problem. If it had been in the perfect tense it probably wouldn't have convinced the fellow who is arguing for a contradiction. I think your argument that Gen 1 is chronological a...
Do you have to believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God to be saved?
In a very general way, I think I can say that one could come to faith in Christ for salvation without believing in the inerrancy of the Word of God, but I am doubtful that one could stay that way for long. The disciples of ou...
Is It Possible to Approximate the Date of the Creation?
An ever fruitful topic is the date of Creation. The chronology which one finds in the marginal columns of many of the older Bibles, notably in the Authorized Version of King James, is not a part of the Bible itself by any mea...
What does the head covering in 1 Cor. 11 refer to?
If you have not read Dan Wallace's outstanding article, What is the Head Covering in 1 Corinthians 11 and Does It Apply to Us Today? I would encourage you to do so. You'll find it in the "Prof's Soapbox" section on our web si...
Will you comment on the kenosis heresy?
There is a true and biblical doctrine of kenosis, but the Greek used by Paul in Philippians 2:7 has been wrenched out of its New Testament context to make it mean what it does not. It does not mean that Christ divested Himsel...
What is the significance of numbers in Scripture?
The following material from The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia should be helpful here: III. Significant numbers Numbers are also used with a symbolical or theological significance. One is used to convey th...
Did the coming of Christ end capital punishment as set forth in Gen. 9:6?
Genesis 9:6 deals with the sin of homicide (which, in a sense, is always fratricide, v. 5) and demands a punishment that matches the crime. The justification for capital punishment established here is the nobility of human li...
Did God the Father raise God the Son, or did Jesus raise Himself from the dead?
I think your question relates to the Trinity. Who created the heavens and the earth? According to Genesis 1, we could say God the Father, but notice that the Spirit of God is also involved (Genesis 1:2). Then there is Proverb...
What does Matthew 19:11-12 mean, they were born that way?
The following sections on Matthew 19:11-12 are from The Bible Knowledge Commentary and The Wycliffe Bible Commentary. From The Wycliffe Bible Commentary: 1) Teaching on Divorce. 19:1-12. 1. Beyond Jordan. From the Greek...
