Thanks for sharing the Genesis Account! I agree wholeheartedly that no other book is as vehemently attacked as Genesis.
That’s true. I’ve been amazed at Genesis as a work of literature and lately been dwelling more on the beauty of Genesis as a literary work and less with the Genesis origin debate…and man it’s amazing! I think you feel the same. I love Old Testament narratives, there’s so much nuggets and the stories are insightful of human nature and need for God’s grace! How is your day?
Jim, this is SO encouraging! How the Bible tells the Good News of Jesus Christ in literature form and type is one of the best and most exciting reading experiences one will ever have! I love learning Israel’s story through the OT narratives and poetry/parallelism. I appreciate the OT Law and that while it is arduous, difficult, hard to read, it’s even harder (impossible) to keep. By knowing the Law intimately, we will know what Christ came to fulfill and that leads us to love Him and worship Him more! I am SO thankful that Christ has freed us from being under the Law. l don’t want to take this freedom for granted and miss an opportunity to know Jesus more. Seeing Christ in/through the Law, in the sacrificial system is a truly moving experience. Christ is the fulfiller of purity rituals/ceremonies is staggering. To know that purity is found NO longer in place but in person (believers) is humbling. I LONG for believers to want to know the Bible Jesus read. To see the beauty of parallelism, the passion of the prophets, the striving in keeping of the Law. All this Christ fulfilled. Woes is us people of unclean lips how can we not be undone! Praise God for His grace and mercy!
I could talk about the OT verbally or in written form ALL day! My day is going! How is your day? What are you guys doing with the youth tomorrow?!
As always, thanks. I’ve downloaded the dissertation PDF and look forward to reading it.
Blessings.

Those books sound great. And I’m looking forward to reading the dissertation as soon as I finish my current book.
Thank you for these links, Jim! Providing/pointing faithfully on resouces like these is something “kahanga-hanga!” GOD bless you, Nancy, and your kids!
I looked it up and say in regards to your comments kahanga-hanga too! Besides Tagalog and English do you speak other dialect or languages? I don’t remember…
Oh sorry for the delay in response, Jim! Yes, Cebuano, my mother tongue.
Thanks for another presup listing! I listened to the C2TC guys’ rebuttal to Ehrman’s attempt to deconstruct the doctrine of Jesus’s divinity. I appreciated their observation that Ehrman switched from an alleged Christian fundamentalist to a skeptical fundamentalist (don’t bother me with the objective facts or opposing views).
I thought the same thing when I read Ehrman and critiqued one of his books a few years back! Wow seems like I’m not the only one! Great mind thinks a like? Lol. Kidding. How is your walk this morning?
We are on the same page!
Sorry for the late reply. Helped out my sister with some legal stuff and did some errands so 9K steps today ! My avg. is around 6K. How are your steps?
Thanks for listing out all these resources!
What’s up?
I found this article very interesting…please read!
Do you remember the blockbuster hit film The Matrix that was released in 1999? You may not know this, but it has deep spiritual implications concerning the times we are living in and Bible prophecy.
It tells a story of how these “agents” are trying to turn us into machines. We are closer then ever before for this to become a reality when they cause us to receive an implantable microchip in our body during a time when physical money will be no more.
You may have seen on NBC news concerning the implantable RFID microchip that some people are getting put in their hand to make purchases, but did you know this microchip matches perfectly with prophecy in the Bible?
“He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…
You also may have heard of the legendary number “666” that people have been speculating for possibly thousands of years on what it actually means. This article shares something I haven’t seen before, and I don’t think there could be any better explanation for what it means to calculate 666. This is no hoax. Very fascinating stuff!
…Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666″ (Revelation 13:16-18 NKJV).
To see all the details showing why the Bible foretold of all these things, check out
GOD is sending out His end time warning:
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name'” (Revelation 14:9-11).
In the Islamic religion they have man called the Mahdi who is known as their messiah of whom they are waiting to take the stage. There are many testimonies from people online who believe this man will be Barack Obama who is to be the biblical Antichrist based off dreams they have received. I myself have had strange dreams about him like no other person. So much so that I decided to share this information.
He came on stage claiming to be a Christian with no affiliation to the Muslim faith…
“In our lives, Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith. But there have been times where my faith has been questioned — by people who don’t know me — or they’ve said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing,” – Barack Obama
…but was later revealed by his own family members that he indeed is a devout Muslim.
So what’s in the name? The meaning of someones name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface…
“And He (Jesus) said to them (His disciples), ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven'” (Luke 10:18).
In the Hebrew language we can uncover the meaning behind the name Barack Obama.
Barack, also transliterated as Baraq, in Hebrew is: lightning
baraq – Biblical definition:
From Strongs H1299; lightning; by analogy a gleam; concretely a flashing sword: – bright, glitter (-ing, sword), lightning. (Strongs Hebrew word H1300 baraq baw-rawk’)
Barak ‘O’bamah, The use of bamah is used to refer to the “heights” of Heaven.
bamah – Biblical definition:
From an unused root (meaning to be high); an elevation: – height, high place, wave. (Strongs Hebrew word H1116 bamah baw-maw’)
The day following the election of Barack Obama (11/04/08), the winning pick 3 lotto numbers in Illinois (Obama’s home state) for 11/5/08 were 666.
Obama was a U.S. senator for Illinois, and his zip code was 60606.
Seek Jesus while He may be found…repent, confess and forsake your sins and trust in the savior! Jesus says we must be born again by His Holy Spirit to enter the kingdom of God…God bless!
Keep working ,impressive job!
