Death in Genesis
Death in redemption is often misunderstood because of our misunderstanding of death in Genesis. Most can only perceive that Adam's death is physical or biological per the penalty in Gen. 2:16-17. However, we believe this is shallow reasoning and a failure to take in all the evidence supplied to us in Genesis.
It is assumed that death fell upon God's creation, not only for man but for all the creation as a direct result of sin. This is just plain wrong. It totally ignores the facts of the case. Let's take Genesis 1:11 for example. God said, "Let the earth ...

Is There Life After Death?
Is there life after death? With today's world of skepticism, one might think that this question is irrelevant.

Thirdly, we will show the importance of God's provisions and ...

Yet another group believe it refers to the kingdom age.
And I have put my words in your mouth; I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, lay the foundations of ...
Is a A Day A Thousand Years With the Lord?
June 9th, 2009 | Dispensationalism | No Comment
A common argument used by futurist in both Amillennial and Dispensational camps is that a day with the Lord is a thousand years. By taking this verse to mean that a literal day is a literal thousand years, they offer it as proof that Christ could not return in the first century. In other words, it cancels out all imminent time statements. Is a Day a thousand years With the Lord? Note the following.

If Ham and Eggs Can Talk, Why Can’t the Star...

If I were you, I would be a bit curious of a title, If Ham and Eggs Can Talk, Why Can't the Stars, in the Day of the Lord? Don't you think it's a rather
interesting eschatological theme? Well, here's what provoked the title.
As a child I remember growing up watching the Little Rascals on TV, before going to school. On one episode, a Stymie persuaded whom I vaguely

determination, they fried some ham and ...
