Evidence of the Flood (Part 2)

A second geologic evidence for the Flood was the rapid burial of billions of plants and animals all over the planet. This is what you would expect to find in a global catastrophe such as the Flood. Now, how do you make a fossil?  In order to produce a fossil you need a quick burial, [&hellip

Evidence of the Flood (Part 1)

There are four main geologic evidences for the Flood. First, fossils of sea creatures are found high above sea level on every continent. Amazingly, even the Himalayas of Nepal, with the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, have marine fossils there. Why is that? Because Mount Everest, like all other land masses, was under [&hellip

Where did the “races” come from?

If the Bible’s Flood account is true, and only eight people survived the Flood, how did mankind originate from Noah’s family? Or some will say it this way: how did we get all the “races”? Actually, there is only one race—the human race. The different groups of people are classified that way by skin color [&hellip

The Flood and the Rainbow Promise

When it comes to the Bible’s Flood account, the idea of the Ark floating on a planet totally submerged is the biggest objection people have. Usually skeptics will say that Noah’s flood was local in scope, limited to only his part of the world. However, if that were true, there would have been no need for [&hellip

How big was Noah’s Ark?

Children’s books and toys of Noah’s Ark often lead to another objection about the truthfulness of the Flood—how did all the animals fit in there? Genesis 6:15-16 gives us the dimension; it was 450 feet long by 75 feet wide by 45 feet high. So imagine a four story building that is one and one-half [&hellip

Is there enough water to flood the Earth?

As mentioned in the previous blog, the Bible’s account of Noah’s Flood is the most detailed and longest account of all the recorded histories that we have. It makes sense since God revealed it to Moses as he wrote Genesis. However, through the years, many objections have been raised against the veracity of the worldwide [&hellip

Worldwide accounts of the Flood of Noah

When someone reads the beginning of the Bible, the first events are Creation in Genesis chapters 1-2, the Fall into Sin in chapter 3, the first murder in chapter 4, and the genealogy of the descendants of Adam to Noah in chapter 5. Following these chapters is the Flood account in chapters 6-9. The world [&hellip

Why were 7 New Testament books questioned?

From approximately 100-350 AD there was division over seven books in our New Testament. No one questioned the apostolicity of the four Gospels, the book of Acts, the thirteen letters of Paul, 1 Peter, and 1 John. After all, these were written by apostles, or with “apostolic approval.” For instance, Mark is considered to be [&hellip

How did we get the New Testament?

Since Jesus and the Early Church already had the Old Testament Scriptures, how did the Bible grow to have the New Testament? If you recall, Jesus had twelve Apostles that He taught very deliberately and intensively; they were given the charge in Matthew 28:19-20 to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in [&hellip

Jesus and the Old Testament

As we saw previously, historical documents support the fact that the Old Testament was already in existence and canonized as the Word of God. However, some people still won’t accept those books as inspired Scripture.  Maybe they don’t like the content of some of the chapters. Or maybe they don’t like the concept of a [&hellip
