Genesis 11:9 – NASB vs. HCSB vs. ESV

| October 28, 2011

Genesis 11:9 NASB  Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth. Genesis 11:9 HCSB  Therefore its name is called Babylon, for there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth, […]

Genesis 3 – Trust versus Knowledge

| June 18, 2011

In the garden Eve chooses not to trust God and desires a knowledge that is either not destined for mankind, or else not destined so quickly. The forbidden fruit does exactly what Satan promises, and what God forbade. It grants knowledge (Gen.3.22), a knowledge at that time forbidden. But in eating it, Eve trads trust […]

Poem – What Do We Learn from the Garden of Eden?

| June 13, 2011

What do we learn from the Garden of Eden? That Adam and Eve opposed God in feedin’. God put the tree there to teach good and evil; But “self” sent Paradise into upheaval. Truth be told, they chose death over life and God; Curses for women in birth and man in sod. Satan’s deceptive ploys to discard God’s […]

Genesis 3:9-19 – Chiasm

| June 9, 2011

A – Adam Addressed (3.9-12) B – Eve Addressed (3.13) C – Serpent/Satan Cursed (3.14-15) B’ – Eve Cursed (3.16) A’ – Adam Cursed (3.17-19)

Deuteronomy 4:15-19 – The Form and Image of God

| May 17, 2011

An interesting passage on the image of God is one that states what it is not, not what it is. Because of this, it would be impossible to make an image of the image of God. And although mankind is made in the image of God, male and female are not the image. This passage […]

Genesis 1:28 – Sex, Sex, Sex, Sex

| May 17, 2011

Do you want to hear something shocking? Every one of us was made by God to have sex. All of us are sexual beings, and that’s not a bad thing. In fact it is not only a good thing, it is a “very good” thing (Gen.1.31). Now you might not consider that shocking, but Christian […]

2 Samuel 6 – Grace On Every Page

| March 18, 2011

Grace is written on every page of the Bible. But blood is not. Grace is written in ways that blood does not need. The very breath we take is grace. God’s word breathed out through the Holy Spirit is grace. The breath Jesus exhaled declaring “it is finished” is grace. And God’s waiting breath, waiting […]

Genesis 6:4 – Who Are the “Sons of God?”

| February 1, 2011

There is a contextual problem with interpreting the “sons of God” as angels in Genesis 6:4, and that is because of the contextual lineage flow of the previous chapters. Chapter 4 – Lineage of Cain – By their descriptions, they were not godly. Chapter 5 – Lineage of Seth – It was in the lifetime […]

Genesis 1:1

| January 29, 2011

“(I)n this first, basal pronouncement of Scripture there is a denial of all the principal false philosophies which men have propounded.” “In the beginning God” – that denies Atheism with its doctrine of no God. “In the beginning God” – that denies Polytheism with its doctrine of many gods. “In the beginning God created” – […]
