The men who wrote these things could not have known any of this without the words being from God. Many of these thing we take for granted now because we know that they are proven facts, and are so obvious to us now."

Creation Scientist Casts Doubt on Major Big Bang Announcement | TheBlaze.com: "While many scientists and researchers express excitement over what they believe to be landmark evidence of the Big Bang, Answers in Genesis, a Christian organization run by creationist Ken Ham, is casting doubt on the recent findings.

“This announcement undoubtedly will be welcomed as the long-sought proof of cosmic inflation so necessary to the big bang model,” wrote Dr. Danny Faulkner, a former astronomy professor who works for the organization. “Biblical creationists know from Scripture that the universe did not begin in a big bang billions of years ago.”"

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Humanism.

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Humanism.: "Humanism says that man is basically good, and that when he does something morally wrong, some outside influence has caused him to go off the rails--such as not having a father figure, poverty, bad friends, etc. This is in direct opposition to the Bible, which says that man is off the rails from the moment he is born. One argument for that is that we don't have to teach our children to do wrong. They intuitively know how to lie, be selfish and disobedient. We have to teach them to speak the truth, to share and to obey."

Saying goodbye to Christian America

Saying goodbye to Christian America: "One day in a doctoral seminar at Union Seminary, my ethics mentor Larry Rasmussen said words I will never forget: “There are advantages and disadvantages in every power position for the church.”

The ultimate Christian social ethics issue of our time is not any particular moral issue such as abortion, war or gay rights. We argue fiercely about these issues, sure. But the ultimate Christian social ethics issue, at least in the United States, is the fact of declining Christian cultural power — and its fallout in both church and culture. This is the context within which every particular moral issue is contested."

How can the virgin birth of Jesus be true - Google Drive:

For many years the great battlefield of the Bible critics was the subject of the resurrection of Christ. They felt that if they could demolish this truth and prove it to be only a myth, the whole structure of Christianity would crumble. But the resurrection was impregnable, and they could not even crack it, let alone shatter it. The evidence was overwhelming, and there were too many witnesses, for over 500 persons saw the resurrected Christ. The critics changed their strategy then and decided to attack a biblical truth that did not have such strong evidence.

Could God create a rock so heavy He could not lift it?: "Answer: This question is frequently asked by skeptics of God, the Bible, Christianity, etc. If God can create a rock that He cannot lift, then God is not omnipotent. If God cannot create a rock so heavy that He cannot lift it, then God is not omnipotent. According to this argument, omnipotence is self-contradictory. Therefore, God cannot be omnipotent.
