The idea brought forth by those who claim that we who hold to God's sovereignty in all things are similar to the Greek pagans is without warranted. As Ronald Nash states in his book The Gospel and the Greeks, these so called gods were limited by their own weakness both physical and moral. Not to...

I can always count on the Babylon Bee folks to lighten my day.
My three favorites from the past week:

Love those guys! -
Questions Regarding the LBCF On Communion
Section 30 of the LBCF states that the communion is in memorial and celebration of Jesus activities on our behalf.
I know that Presbyterians and Baptist approach baptism from differing perspectives, but reading through that section, it seemed that Reformed Baptists and Presbyterians agree on the communion? -
Christians Dying Of Dehydration?
So I just read an account of a missionary who traveled by sea on a ship. He gave his life for the advancement of the gospel. He ended up dying at sea for lack of food and water. In his last journal writing before dying, he wrote about how good God is, even though his desire for water was almost unbearable. It seems he truly desired to know and live for God.
This made me think of the promise... -

Head Coverings
Hello all. I am new to having an account with Puritan Board, but I am not new to using Puritan Board as a resource to help me wrestle with certain theological topics.
Women wearing head coverings is something that I have wrestled with in the Scriptures. When I read through the text in Corinthian’s and take Paul at his word, (at least at the English translation in the ESV) it seems that head... -
I think I believe in the maternal-incest view of Ham's sin
It seems weird that Ham would only be cursed for seeing his dad naked. And...correction..it was not even Ham but his son that was cursed (though Ham was also cursed with having his son cursed..any father would feel cursed if his actions caused his son to be cursed, after all)...this curse of his son makes since if there was something "off" about his son Canaan. The sin was Ham's but the... -
World Mission Society Church of God
Hi all,
I was at a Maryland zoo today and a gentleman and teenage boy approached me and asked if he could ask me a question. The teenager asked if I have heard about the "feminine image of God" or something along those lines. I said no so he started to explain it to me. He explained that for Adam and Eve to be made in God's image, there must be a mother deity or else we wouldn't have... -
The Filioque-Controversy with the laity
I‘m part of a Baptist church in a majority Eastern Orthodox country. One evening I gave a Bible Study and at the end there came up a question concerning the Filioque. Now, this question was asked by a fresh convert from EO (although nominal). It is the case that even nominal members of the EO-Church are aware of some doctrinal differences between the Western and Eastern tradition.
I answered...

Apologetics Refuting The Atheist Claim That Jesus Was A Resurrected Zombie
It has been quite common on various atheist websites that seek to refute Christianity to use the argument that when Jesus was resurrected from the dead it was no different than what we see in modern zombie movies. The zombies come back to life and start attacking people and eating them, and...

Apologetics Critique Of Deism
Deism is defined as the belief that reason and and the Natural world are sufficient to determine the existence of God. Deists believe God is not knowable and untouchable. God is seen as the first cause of all creation, but he is not interactive within creation. Here is an analogy, think of God...
