For those who want to escape the rat race.
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist (Colossians 1:16–17).
Continue reading “Biblical Structure of History – Creation, by Gary North”God did not require Adam to perform any good works prior to creating him. Seems obvious, doesn’t it? So the original gift of life was based on grace. Then why do theologians say that the original covenant between Adam and Eve and God was a “covenant of works?”
The reformed faith teaches that even in the Old Testament, among His people Israel, God did not save any individual based on works. It was always by grace, specifically by faith in a savior to come. It has always troubled me that the Reformed faith is consistent regarding salvation by grace throughout history until it gets to the Garden of Eden before the Fall. If God is a God who never changes, how could he impose a covenant of works at one point in history but a covenant of grace at another?

Download the pdf of this analysis: Interstellar
“Interstellar” came out in 2014. It’s about time and family, but it contains a theological explanation of covenant family and dominion also. Long before seeing it and while sitting in a doctor’s waiting room, I picked up a magazine and noticed an article about the movie. It explained that the makers went to an actual theoretical physicist to learn how to represent a black hole and a worm hole in the movie’s special effects. The scientist allegedly took the equations governing the theoretical operations of these phenomena and matched it with special effects software for a video representation. But when they actually saw the image the equations created, they had made an entirely new scientific discovery as to the operation of the phenomena. Perhaps the first time that a scientific discovery occurred within the special effects process in the making of a movie. Continue reading “Interstellar”
Genesis is history, not science. Genesis 1 says that Adam was created the sixth day according to Genesis 1. God rested the seventh day. Does it make any sense that God would leave Adam in the dark about the creation time period? There are two reasons in the text that show that Adam would have known the time period – the Sabbath day and Eve.

Science Was Born of Christianity
Science does not conflict with the bible, but define science properly first. The bible is history. Science should be divided into “exact science” (Click link above for Stacey Trasancos’ book, Science was Born of Christianity: TheTeaching of Fr. Stanley L. Jaki) and “speculative science.” The latter is more like philosophy, and bible believers can discourse with philosophers about the world’s origin. However, when “speculative science” claims to be “exact science” (Click link above) &, therefore, absolute truth, when it’s not, that’s when conflict occurs.
