Does Absolute Truth Exist?

Related Article - Postmodernism and the Death of Truth

"All is relative" has become one of the slogans of our generation. In the Western World, multitudes have rejected the possibility that such a thing as absolute truth could exist. We have most likely heard of the blind men who examined an elephant. One described it as being "like a hose" while another described it as being "like a tree". It all depended on their point of view. read more »

Evidence for Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Could Jesus Christ really have risen from the dead?

The truth of Christianity stands or falls with one central issue: the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ from death. Christians traditionally celebrate this event on Easter, but it is relevant for every day actually. If this really happened, then everyone should listen carefully to all that He taught. If not, then no one should trust the New Testament, because the New Testament repeatedly says that Jesus did rise from the dead. read more »

Did Jesus Exist?

Is the Bible the only historical evidence that Jesus called the Christ ever lived on earth?

Communists taught that Jesus never even existed. Are Christians foolishly relying on a made-up story about a Jesus that never even existed? Do Christians believe that Jesus exists or existed only because "the Bible says so" or are there other reasons for believing in Jesus' existence?

Well, actually, Jesus is mentioned by early historians who were not Christians. Let's see what we can learn from them about Jesus.

Hamornization of the Resurrection Accounts

The events following the resurrection of Christ are recorded in each of the four gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Like any report of anything, each contains only a partial report of the events. We are seeing a story reported by four different people. Looking at them, it is very hard to believe that they consulted together about what to put in the New Testament. This in fact, can be a good reason to believe the whole thing was not just cooked up for the deception of the masses.

Here is one way you could see these events fitting together my wife and I worked out. read more »

Genesis One

How Can We Make Sense of the Genesis 1 Creation Account?

If one desires to believe that the Hebrew creation account given in Genesis Chapter 1 is truly part of the inerrant Word of God, does that oblige one to believe such things as this:

a. The whole Universe, including man, was created in 7 literal 24 hour day periods?
b. That God created the earth (vs 1) before He created even light? (vs 3)
c. That God created plants and trees (vs 11) before He created the sun, moon and stars? (vs 14-19)

The answer is NO. read more »

Different Opinions on Jesus - who to believe?

Many people today have an opinion about who Jesus really was and what he taught. Muslims say that Jesus was a prophet, a miracle worker, but not the Son of God. They even deny he was crucified. The Qu'ran makes various claims about what Jesus said and did. read more »

Hugh Ross on Suffering

The problem under discussion is basically this: If God is all powerful, all wise, and yet good and loving - how is it that so much suffering and evil is permitted in God's world? Why does God not do more to intervene if He is so powerful and loving?

I have begun to answer this question in another article.

Here are the elements of the answer given by the astrophysicist Dr. Hugh Ross in his excellent book, "The Fingerprint of God". read more »
