Does the Septuagint provide confirmation or contradiction to Hebrew Old Testament history? In writing REBOOTING THE BIBLE, some might suppose I am arguing that the Bible makes historical errors and therefore needs to be scrubbed of inaccuracies. That is the opposite of my message. In fact, the Septuagint is a witness that can correct any […]
I believe the Bible to be the inspired, inherent Word of God. Since my earliest days at the Seminary, I was taught to believe this. What a lot of laity do not truly understand is that that is true for the original autographs. Current translations often contain errors due to the biases of […]
The Chronology of Genesis Is Important to Its Truthfulness of the Bible It’s a question most of us who study the Bible want to know. “When did the stories of Genesis take place?” Specifically, we want to ask many questions related to the events of Genesis.

He surfaces […]
WHY ARE SOME CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS OPEN-MINDED WHILE OTHERS AREN’T? How easily are you threatened by another person of faith in Christ who believes something different than you do? For instance, “How old is the earth?” The two terms, evangelical and fundamentalist, mean different things to different people. There is considerable history going back 200-400 […]
WHY DID RABBIS CHANGE THE BIBLE’S CHRONOLOGY? This past Monday night, I was the guest of Chad Schafer of Disputed Lands for Part 3 of “drill down” sessions on Rebooting the Bible.
