Biblical Inerrancy and the Resurrection

Published on March 30, 2013 By sirrahc

“[A]nd if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.”  (I Cor. 15:14) Despite the title, I’m not actually going to delve too deeply into the whole inerrancy issue in this post.

Published on January 17, 2012 By sirrahc

One of the issues covered in this blog is the whole Creation/Evolution/Design debate and related topics. In my writing in this area, I occasionally make some statement to indicate that I am neither a Theistic Evolutionist nor a Young-Earth Creationist, when it comes to theories about the beginnings of the universe, Earth, diversity of life, [...]
