Deconstruction Dan McClellan on Genesis 1:26 and so much more.
The premises of the critical scholars do not even permit them to consider the correct answers on any number of questions....
Calvinism vs. a Christ-Centered Approach to Theology
If no one has free will but the Father, then how did Christ have free will?
The Tower of Babel: Why Was God Mad?
'Churches' are doing the same thing now. And their message is becoming incoherent.
The Synoptic Gospels: The Case that Matthew Came First
The traditional view is that Matthew came first. But not in Greek.
The Origin of Angels, Demons, and Spiritual Powers
It is an odd fact that the creation account doesn't speak about the creation of angels, demons, or spiritual powers. To some extent, we must speculate. Let our speculation then be informed speculation....
Genocide in the Bible? Is Gratitude the Most Moral Response for what happened to the Amalekites?
Thank God for the massacre of the Amalekites?
Days Before the Sun? Why Alex O'Connor Bested D'Souza on Genesis One
So unnecessary. But until Christians adopt the Christ-centered position on early Genesis, they will get beat in debates like this.

But first let me emphasize that I don't consider him a heretic and that he was right on several things, just not the things for which he was famous. That must have been a very dangerous place to be spiritually..
The 82nd Psalm is one of the two "go to" passages for Unseen Realm Theology, and Heiser didn't have it right....
His other keynote passage is Deuteronomy 32, and he did not have that one right either.
Unfortunately scholars with a low view of scripture took these ideas and made them even more non-sensical than they were to begin with.
Baptism for Infants, the Immature, and the Imperfect
How you feel about baptism for those who cannot choose for themselves probably comes from what you think Baptism is....
The Bible on Slavery Why it Soars Beyond the Shallow Thinking of its Critics
Is there anything immoral about being a voluntary "slave to Righteousness"?
Did Jesus Just "Give Up a Weekend for Our Sins?" The Unfathomable Cost of the Atonement
Not even the church understands the enormity of the Atonement, a story thousands of years in the making.
Is God just Saving Us from What He is Going to Do to Us?
No. God is saving us from what our own lower nature is going to turn us into absent a proper relationship with Him.
