AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF GENESIS (PART 6)

Theological Bites Our perception of the creation account depends on how we appreciate Scripture. To some, scripture is self-explanatory and needs not to be interpreted while to others, there must be an effort of interpreting the literature before us. The reformation (not all) looks at Genesis chapters 1-11 as literal while other Christians like myself … Continue reading AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF GENESIS (PART 6) →

THE MAN OF GOD IN 1KINGS 13

After the death of David and Solomon, the Kingdom of Israel gets divided and there is Judah (Southern Kingdom) and Israel (Northern Kingdom).

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF GENESIS (PART 5)

Theological Bites The strongest apologetics of Evolution I have read is one that says that Evolution is not a response to the question of Origin but an evaluation of the distinguishable differences which are due to modifications in successive generations.

ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI AND ELOHISM (Part 1)

Divine Revelation and Religions in the Bible QUESTION: From our continuous studies of the bible, you have theologically taught that "El" is an Elohist understanding of God where God was among the league of gods.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF GENESIS (PART 2)

Theological Bites We now turn to the theological bit of the book. From the thematic point of view, the book of Genesis is a book of Beginnings. It is the Christian worldview of how everything began and by ‘everything’ that is the universe except God is intended. The first verse of Genesis indicates that before … Continue reading AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF GENESIS (PART 2) →

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF GENESIS (PART I)

NOTICE The book of Genesis is the first book of the Bible. The Bible books are not chronological in a sense that Genesis was the first Biblical book to be compiled. It is rather what I would call: ‘Thematic Chronology’. What I mean by ‘Thematic Chronology’ is that the content of the Bible is a … Continue reading AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF GENESIS (PART I) →
