...Eadweard Muybridge.
Not a name anyone these days may be familiar with, unless maybe you've grown up in the south of England, in Surrey. But from lovers of horse racing through to photography students, it is a name synonymous with the ability to study things in great depth. It was Eadweard...
There is a creationist point of view that the earth is 6000 years old, or just a little over 6000 years old, actually.
This is based on a number of things, but the claim is that it is in harmony with what is written in the Bible. It is on this point, I wish to demonstrate that the idea is...
The Churches, and this "begotten" issue
Now, as to the discussion regarding this "begotten" in Christendom, it began with a person who believes that Jesus is God, asking me if I thought Jesus was created because of the use of "begotten". I answered yes, although this isn't the only reason, and...

In these two articles, we'll look at the statement of being "only begotten". It is written in many Bibles, and has had both representatives of Islam and Christendom comment on it, relating to Jesus, as to who he is or isn't.
Firstly, no wonder Deedat had such fun with this word, due to the...

It is known by many that in John 1:1, the Bible speaks of Jesus, calling him the Word of God.
But then the next section says that this word was WITH God, and the word - according to some Bibles - WAS God. But other Bibles state something like "...was A god", or "...was divine in nature". Some...
So, I was "quizzed" the other day by one of my chat friends, stating that I'd claimed that the King James Bible is translated from earlier English bibles".
My response was "Correct".
Sadly, I was accused of lying. So I went instead to an encyclopedia article, to show that it isn't me making it...
It has been used often in arguments by some who have heard things about the Bible, that dinosaurs are not mentioned in it.
Well, that's not accurate. Why not?
Because, although the Bible isn't an archaeological, nor a biological or zoological dictionary/encyclopedia, it does indeed mention...
It is interesting to see on the news events in the world that demonstrate where we are in the stream of time, as regards a prophecy that Daniel, the prophet who was taken prisoner as a royal youth into Babylon, and later set free in the next empire, that of the Medes and the Persians.

Surah 8:60 says this, in the Yusuf Ali translation of the Qur'an:
"Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah...
It is an interesting time we live in. Many may not recognise this as coming to fruition, but in the last 100 or so years, the tables have been turning, preparing for the way of a world government that will bring true peace to the earth.
But before that happens, there will be ANOTHER one world...

So, we're told in the Bible that Jesus learned obedience from the things he suffered. (Hebrews 5:8-9)
Based on this then, if Jesus was God, which is a claim by some, there are some questions.
1) Who was Jesus learning to be obedient to, if he was God?
2) How was Jesus learning, if he was God...
The heading here is a quote from the Bible. It is Paul telling his anointed brothers - brothers of Christ - that they should consider Jesus, who was considered an apostle and high priest. (Hebrews 3:1)
Based on this, let's ask a few questions, and hopefully get some answers.
1) If Jesus is...
