Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginning of Things in Nature and in Grace: Or a Brief Commentary on Genesis It is evident that our interpretation of the Bible will depend very largely upon what we consider the Bible to be. If we look upon it simply as a human production among other human productions, - a system of religion among other systems, - then we shall expect mistakes, false standards, and false reasonings, as we do elsewhere. But if the Bible is exceptional - a revelation from God, and not merely the teachings of man, we shall expect to find it a transcript of his character - a pure, true, and safe guide in all that it professes to be. It is given to man as God's way of salvation from sin and death. In dealing with it, the question of authorship is our first question. The Word And Works Of God Equally From Him It is much the same with the word of God as with his works. Where did the heavens and the earth come from? Did God make them? or did solid ground come from nebulous matter and that we know not whence? If so, then we may believe in a chance law evolving an orderly cosmos out of chaos, in vegetable and animal, coming as the result of spontaneous generation, and man with his wonderful faculties and possibilities the descendant of Simian ancestors.

Excerpt: ...scale in the geological history of the globe. We often think there is nothing so stable as the solid ground. But the most permanent and changeless thing in its past history has been the water. Dry land was first called out of the deep, and evidence is abundant everywhere of constant elevations and depressions. Coal beds were elevated and the rank vegetation grew luxuriantly, and then it Wm sealed up by depression and compression under water and often under stratified rock, and in many cases, elevated again and the process repeated. With regard to the depression accompanying the Noachian Deluge, which is indicated by "the fountains of the great deep being broken up," there are two questions (1) when did it occur? and (2) was it universal? There are some facts, however, which it is well to mention before deciding these questions very positively. First, Geologists agree that prior to the appearance of man, there was a disappearance of the large carniverou. animals. Mr. Alfred Wallace in his work on the "Distribution of Animals," speaks "of the recent and almost universal change that ha taken place in the character of the fauna on the entire globe" (Vol. 1, p. 149). Not only has this taken place with regard to cave-lions, bears, etc., but armadillos, large horses and tapirs. And in Australia kangaroos as large as an elephant are among the extinct fauna. With' reference to this sweeping away of so many large and fierce animals, he says it was an item of merry in the judgment of the flood, for it made the world a better habitation for man (Ib. Vol. 1, p. 100). The use of the word "flood," was doubtless an inadvertence by Mr. Wallace, for he thinks that this change in the fauna of the glolx: took...

Download or read book On the Whole Bible written by Matthew Henry and published by . This book was released on 1995-07 with total page 1032 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born the son of a clergyman on October 18, 1662, Matthew Henry was ordained into the British Presbyterian Church where he held the pastorate in Chester from 1687 to 1712. He was widowed, married again and had 10 children, three whom died in infancy. Henry died in 1714. Henry began work on his commentary as "Notes On The New Testament" in 1704 and the monumental work was completed shortly before his death in 1714. Remembered as a caring pastor, a passionate lover of the Word of God, and a man of great personal integrity, Matthew Henry has left his mark on the hearts of countless Christians who seek a deeper understanding of the riches that Scripture contains. This edition of Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible uses the King James text and is abridged from the original six volumes while faithfully retaining all of the vibrant themes of that classic work. Everything here is in Matthew Henry's own words and nothing relevant to today's reader has been omitted.
Download or read book The God Who Is There written by D. A. Carson and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It can no longer be assumed that most people--or even most Christians--have a basic understanding of the Bible. Many don't know the difference between the Old and New Testament, and even the more well-known biblical figures are often misunderstood. It is getting harder to talk about Jesus accurately and compellingly because listeners have no proper context with which to understand God's story of redemption. In this basic introduction to faith, D. A. Carson takes seekers, new Christians, and small groups through the big story of Scripture. He helps readers to know what they believe and why they believe it. The companion leader's guide helps evangelistic study groups, small groups, and Sunday school classes make the best use of this book in group settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God has a specific plan-one that is spelled out in the words of the Bible as it reveals progressive information about the beginning, middle, and end of God's covenant and grace. In The New World Order in Genesis 1-9, author Alexandria Parker-Shigemura provides a commentary on God's plan for a new world order and Satan's attempt to usurp God. Through an in-depth, line-by-line analysis of the first nine chapters of Genesis, Parker-Shigemura provides insight into the literal, spiritual, prophetic, and providential prophetic implications of this holy text by discussing the creation and restoration, the source of original sin, the importance of Cain and Abel, the idea of physical death, the big flood, and the ark of salvation. She also explores the power of God and the relationship between God and man. In The New World Order, Parker-Shigemura, who has studied the word of God for more than forty years, communicates the importance of learning God's message in the Bible to better prepare for the new world order. www.alexandriaparker.com
Download or read book The Battle for the Beginning written by John F. MacArthur and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2005-03-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battle lines have been drawn. Is the enemy winning? "Thanks to the theory of evolution," writes best-selling author John MacArthur, "naturalism is now the dominant religion of modern society. Less than a century and a half ago, Charles Darwin popularized the credo for this secular religion. Naturalism has now replaced Christianity as the main religion of the Western world, and evolution has become its principal dogma." Many Christians who claim to believe that the Bible is God's revealed truth seem willing to allow modern scientific theories to replace the Genesis account of creation. Such compromises present a conspicuous danger. Bible teacher and pastor, John MacArthur, believes that in Genesis 1-3 we find the foundation of every doctrine that is essential to the Christian faith?the vital underpinnings for everything we believe. The Battle for the Beginning draws a clear line on today's theological landscape. "Everything in Scripture that teaches about sin and redemption assumes the literal truth of the first three chapters of Genesis. If we wobble to any degree on the truth of this passage," John MacArthur insists, "we undermind the very foundations of our faith."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume in the Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament Bible study series guides women through a Christ-centered study of Genesis.

Over ten weeks of study, participants will see Christ as the agent of creation, the offspring who will crush the head of the serpent, the ark of salvation, the source of the righteousness credited to Abraham, the substitutionary sacrifice provided by God, the Savior to whom the whole world must come for life, and much more. Each weekly lesson includes questions for personal study, a contemporary teaching chapter that emphasizes how the passage fits into the bigger story of redemptive history, a brief section on how the passage uniquely points to what is yet to come at the consummation of Christ's kingdom, and a leader's guide for group discussion. A ten-session DVD companion set is also available.
Download or read book Genesis written by R. Kent Hughes and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2004-10-26 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Genesis contains some of the most beautiful and well-known stories in the Bible: the garden, the flood, the tower of Babel, and the lives of the patriarchs. But these are more than just good stories. They lay the groundwork for God's relationship with humanity and for his plan for our salvation, making Genesis foundational to understanding everything else that happens in the Bible. Genesis reveals much about human nature and the nature of God. From the actions of the first man and woman, we see where our rebellious, sinful nature originates. And through the whole book we see the hand of a sovereign God who is loving and merciful, but also just and holy. Time and again in Genesis, God showers his grace upon undeserving humanity, giving us our first tastes of God's enduring faithfulness that shines throughout the entire Bible. R. Kent Hughes, respected pastor and author of many other commentaries in the Preaching the Word series, takes readers back to the beginning of the Bible and moves through Genesis with careful exegesis. He explores the superbly crafted structure of the book as well as the weighty themes it contains. For those who preach, teach, and study God's Word, this exceptionally detailed work will reveal much about the beginnings of God's great story. Part of the Preaching the Word series.

Download or read book Simply Genesis written by T. L. Farrell and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many times the first three chapters of Genesis become lost in translation. How could something—creation—come from nothing? How long is a day, and did it really only take seven days for God to create the universe? Are we really created in God’s image and likeness? These questions and more are often difficult to answer. In Simply Genesis, author T. L. Farrell introduces an uncommon and off-the-wall interpretation and commentary on the first three chapters of Genesis. While this new understanding stands in sharp contrast to most common teachings, it can provide believers with a deeper understanding of the truth—and some answers to common questions about our origins and purpose. Because most readings of Genesis pin God down to the level of human thinking, much of its true meaning can be overlooked. But by following the biblical guidance that God makes known the end from the beginning, looking at Genesis in this way can unlock further truths about not just creation but God’s ultimate purpose for us. God has revealed the glory of His finished work in the first three chapters of Genesis. Therefore, we trust in God, who had it all planned from the beginning. God’s perfect plan is to create a family of believers in His image and likeness, full of God’s Spirit and love through the independence of their free will—that when God sees us, He sees Himself, and when we see God, we see ourselves.
