This is the erroneous theory that a vast span of time (billions of years) transpired between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. Allegedly, during this period, large creatures roamed the earth (e.g., dinosaurs), and a satanic rebellion occurred among a pre-Adamic human race. This revolt precipitated massive des...
This theory attempts to reconcile the six days of creation activity (Gen. 1) with the billions of years required by evolutionary chronology. However, there is overwhelming evidence that the "days" in Genesis 1 are ordinary solar days. Moses, who wrote the entire Pentateuch, viewed the creation da...
The Hebrew term yom, with its Greek equivalent, hemera, typically signifies a unit of time determined by the full rotation of the Earth upon its axis.

If someone lusts have they committed adultery?
Marriage is not a mere civil institution; it is a covenant agreement between two eligible people before God. Far too frequently, it becomes very “uncivil.” People who desire to please the Creator, will work hard to make their marriages stable.
Suicide has reached almost an epidemic stage in this country. Many view it as an easy “exit” from this life of hardship and heartache. But is it?
