I believe in a young earth. Such people are called Young Earth Creationists (YEC’s). I believe that the Earth and Adam and Eve were created just as Genesis 1-2 tells us, in six literal 24-hour days, about 6,200 years ago (around 4,200 BC).

Paul’s Words to the Philippian Jailer The other day I came across an article in The Trinity Review—a 5-point Calvinist publication that is essentially arguing for the Free Grace message on the meaning of saving faith—entitled, “What Is It to Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?” Great title.

Over a decade ago I heard a paper at the annual meeting of Bible scholars called the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) on this question. The speaker said that everyone always capitalizes adjectives for the Quran and Talmud. Everyone writes Quranic or Talmudic, not quranic or talmudic. We also routinely capitalize Midrashic, honoring Midrash. We write

Take a good look at the shirt I just bought at a thrift store in St. George, Utah. Nice shirt. I love the Scripture quote on the front. But do you see any errors in the quote? There are many. First, it should say, “Run in such a way…” But it actually says, “Run is

Bill Fiess emailed me a blog from October 23, 2017. The blog is from Logos Bible Software. It is called the LAB, or Logos Academic Blog.
