Some people debate the actual method Jesus was crucified. Some suggest Jesus was nailed to the cross by his hands.

I personally think the [...]

June 19, 2009 by
The bible never comes out and makes a direct statement regarding the shape of the Earth. It never says the Earth is flat, and it never says the Earth is round.

God of the Gaps Explained-A Christian Perspective
June 4, 2009 by
When a religious debate or argument takes place, it is fairly common to hear the skeptical (atheist) side to accuse to religious side of believing in “God of the Gaps.” I found this term very strange the very first time I heard it, and had to actually look up the meaning myself. After I looked [...]

One very controversial topic I see coming up a lot right now is the topic of same-sex marriage. People have a lot of different opinions about the topic. Some are against it, and some are for it. Some don’t care either way. So I decided to respond to a great question on this topic. Here [...]

January 5, 2009 by
This is a great question below: Why Won’t God Give Mankind Proof of His Existence Instead of a Bible? Maybe if He would prove He actually exists, more people would believe in Him and worship Him.

I recently read a great question on a forum asking about the nature of God.

Will People Who Never Heard of Jesus Go to Hell? What About Old Testament People?

Did Mary Really Have a Virgin Birth? Was Jesus Born of a Virgin Mother?
October 10, 2008 by
The bible is full of “miracles.” One of the miracles that people often question, and even doubt, is the virgin birth event.

He is wealthy, happy, religious, and has a great family. All seems to be going so well for Job, that is, until his life comes crashing down! We [...]

Many people are often skeptical of the creation story, and the Bible in general. People often like to point out possible contradictions and difficulties, to try and “prove” God really doesn’t exist.
