The Bible’s silence concerning the approximately 18 years of Jesus’ life between the ages of 12 to 30, has inspired a number of speculations about this period in the life of Jesus the Christ. Of these, the most notable is the idea that Jesus travelled widely and especially to Kashmir in India, not only as a young man, but also in the time following his crucifixion where he finally died and now lies buried in a tomb.

Modalism is an unorthodox (or heretical) view of God that denies the orthodox trinitarian view that there are three distinct, co-eternal persons in the godhead. Modalists claim that God simply manifests himself in the different modes or forms at different times. Unfortunately, some illustrations used by trinitarians tend toward a modalistic concept of God…

In an age of Biblical illiteracy, it has become increasingly popular to perpetuate the notion that Jesus was married. The role of “Mrs Jesus” in these fanciful depictions is most often played by Mary Magdalene. Most recently, Dan Brown’s best selling novel, The DaVinci Code has received much attention for its iteration of this tired tale. In contradiction to the claims of sensationalistic scholars, a survey of the evidence demonstrates that the married-Jesus myth is nothing more than radical historical revisionism…

A significant contingency in Christianity - ‘open theists’ - are currently communicating that God does not have perfect knowledge of the future, and that God’s direction of future events can be influenced through the prayers, decisions and actions of people. How do we respond to this crisis within Christianity?

It is not uncommon for sceptics to suppose that Christians are irrational for believing in a God they cannot see. In reality, it is irrational for such sceptics to suppose that what cannot be seen does not exist.

 God is referred to in Scripture as jealous and jealousy is referred to in Scripture as sin. The second commandment explicitly says that God is a jealous God (Exo 20:4,5, 34:14), yet, in Galatians, Paul condemns jealousy in the same breath as idolatry (Gal 5:19,20). How can this be…

In recent years, the Bible has come under attack by liberal scholars who claim that the New Testament canon was determined by the winners of a supposed struggle for dominance in the early centuries of Christianity. As the following evidence reveals, however, the canon is not arbitrary or authoritarian, but divinely authoritative…

The following words by the apostle Paul are frequently used to denigrate the Bible as sexist - “I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner” (1Timothy 2:12,13). The criticism that Paul’s teaching is sexist is silenced by a careful consideration of the context.

In his first letter to Timothy, Paul says that “women will be saved through childbearing” (2:15). If this is the case, there must be more than one way to be saved.

 In a world that is obsessed with 'political correctness', it has become 'fashionable' to refer to God as 'she', or 'it'. But what is the correct view of this?
