Regarding the Bible as the Word of God – In Leviticus 12 God instructs Moses that a woman is unclean for a total of 40 days after giving birth to a son. But she is unclean for 80 days after giving birth to a daughter. Do we believe that God truly made this distinction between the birth of a male and a female? If He did, why? But if we don’t believe that, then wouldn’t there be other parts of the Bible that might not be considered the actual word of God?

I am not one who believes that the Bible was written by men. Nor am I one who believes that it was penned at the dictation of God. The translators of the NIV and other modern protestant translations of the Scriptures would come down more on the side of things of humans taking dictation from […]

There are two opposing Theological positions regarding the ending of the this-worldly life of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

How can one believe in the bible when it tells a story about a man being swallowed by a whale, thrown up after three days and was still alive; can you explain that?

There are a couple of issues wrapped up in this question. The first is what makes scripture, and the second is what is faith? The story of Jonah and the whale is a story about how God’s servants serve Him and it is about how God serves his servants. But it is not a story […]
