Gideon’s Bibles

Gay Marriage and Newsweek

An older version of Newsweek Magazine tries to reconcile Gay Marriage with the Bible, and Albert Mohler is there with some great observations, but it’s his conclusion that we need to pay attention to:

What If Moses had Google?

Here’s a humorous take on what Moses could have done if he had Google: What do you think? [HT CNBC]

Jesus and the Bible

…The setting is ripe for a fight. The Sadducees are trying to spark some theological controversy. Jesus has his mind on the cross. The other religious leaders have been barking at he and his disciples for years now. Satan continues to pursue and press upon him. This begs a frustrated response. Instead, Jesus calmly and [...]

Because He Said It, It Must Be True

Yesterday we explored the concept of the Appeal To Authority fallacy: The idea that just because something could happen doesn’t mean that it will or did.  We stated that the logical conclusions drawn about Molecules to Man Evolution rests on this fallacy, because it requires millions of years for things to happen that haven’t been [...]

It’s About the Heart – He Is Everything

If God is a part of your life, then you have to ask yourself, how much of my life is His?  You see, He will not rest until He makes you into the image of His dear Son.  He wants to be the Lord of your life. That means that there are two different people [...]

It’s About the Heart – Throughout the Bible

When you ask the question, “Do You Love Me?” you immediately realize that this is a question directed at the heart.  What you may not realize is that it’s always been about the heart—from the beginning of time. You see, throughout the Bible, God has always been concerned about our heart attitude toward Him. Throughout [...]

10 Worst Bible Passages

If you were to pick the hardest Bible passages, what would you pick? A recent post by Ann Althouse suggested her Top 10 Worst Bible Passages.  A lot of the problems that people have with these passages has to do with context and an understanding of the times. For example: 2. "Go, now, attack Amalek, [...]

When You’re In The Right Mindset…

Have you ever noticed that when you get into the right mindset, whatever you’re watching or reading comes alive with lessons that directly relate to the Bible? My kids and I have been watching the Star Wars saga—we started at Episode 1 and finished 4 this evening—and there were so many allegories to the Bible [...]

Make Good As Soon As Possible

A lot of what the Bible says is practical, and today’s musing is no exception.  It’s always best to take care of situations when they are little, because the longer you wait the more it grows.  What started out as something that could have been handled can easily mutate into something that you’ll never get [...]

Unity at Any Cost?

Christ’s prayer in John 17 was that we may all be one in Him.  He desired unity, and through out the New Testament we see many of the Apostles encouraging us to work past differences and use church discipline in an effort of restoration. And yet today it’s the opposite—church discipline leads to splits which [...]

Was That Really the Holy Spirit?

I know that we should always judge what we experience by what the Bible says. An experience that did not come from Him must come from somewhere else. But when I read something like this in my comments on preaching I’m left with a question: Will do! My daughter has to preach in four different [...]

How The Bible Was Delivered

The Atheist’s next argument is again placing himself in the position of God.  His argument is summarized thusly:  If I were God, I’d make sure that everyone heard from me personally—I wouldn’t use dead languages over time.  That’s just a bad job at revelation.

Biblical “Contradictions”

No discussion with an Atheist is complete without some mention of the “hundreds” of contradictions in the Bible.  However, for every contradiction they can come up with, there’s always a reasonable response to them if you take the time to examine the context of the passage and consider the time period and culture.

The Bible and Reality

The second attack is that the Bible and Reality seem to contradict each other according to the Atheist. Let’s look at his points, shall we?
