The Legacy Standard Bible and the Giant Print Edition
I haven’t been this excited about a new translation in a very long time. Currently, there are about 50 different English translations available, ranging from an interlinear Bible to free verse paraphrases. Wherever the Bible has gone, there are usually different versions of it. Even in the Dead Sea Scrolls, we find Hebrew manuscripts as…

Scripture
God’s Word The Bible is the ultimate authority for truth and the foundation for all understanding. – John MacArthur The sacred Scriptures form the most remarkable book the world as ever seen. They are of high antiquity. They contain a record of events of the deepest interest. The history of their influence is the history…

Paid in Full
“Τετέλεσται” John 19:30. In the Gospel of John this was the last word Jesus uttered while on the cross. In Greek it stands in the perfect tense. The perfect tense is completed action that continues to the present (and beyond). That is to say it was, is and will be. English translates it as “it…

What are the Odds?
If Jesus fulfilled just the above 8 verses, just looking at the odds, we would say the “game was fixed.” But who could do such a thing except for God? To disprove the odds one has to find excuses for not only these 8 verses but for all 351. At which point such denial seems…

Isaiah 53 as Evidence for God
Since the most ancient Jewish sources attribute Isaiah 53 to the Messiah we have sound reason to likewise view Isaiah 53 as Messianic, and to conclude that this would have been the understanding of this passage by the original reader (knowing that Isaiah covers a wide-range of prophetic times) as well as Second Temple Period…

God and the Fine-Tuning of the Universe
“I believe in God. In fact, I believe in a personal God who acts in and interacts with the creation. I believe that the observations about the orderliness of the physical universe, and the apparently exceptional fine-tuning of the conditions of the universe for the development of life suggest that an intelligent Creator is responsible.” If…

Saul and the Amalekites
God is NOT a Moral Monster. ‘Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction allthat he has, and do not spare him; but put to death bothman and woman, infant and nursing baby, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’” (1 Samuel 15:3 LSB) At first read this passage is troublesome – especially if taken at face value. There have been several ways various Christians have responded to this passage.…

Daniel’s 70 Weeks as Evidence for God
This post is one of three in a debate I had with a Facebook friend. Resolved: Biblical prophecy offers evidence for God I will not be considering modern interpretations, nor how these passages may address yet future eschatology. Instead , I will focus on two aspects: First, attempt to understand passage as Biblical Israelites and…

The Treveris
While I fell in love with Schuyler by seeing it online, when it arrived I was not disappointed. In fact, it was better than I thought. I love it some much that I bought one for my mom (although she chose the Canterbury by Schuyler which is divided into verses and has cross-references at the…
