Vantage Point with Pastor HenryBible Study: Were there six literal or spiritual days of creation?In an engaging podcast episode, I welcomed Pastors Michael Chilcott and Peter Ikpugha to debate whether the Earth was created in six literal days or six spiritual periods, as described in Genesis 1. The discussion was lively, filled with biblical exposition and occasional fiery exchanges. Pastor Chilcott defended a literal 24-hour-day view, citing the Hebrew yom and Exodus 20:11, which ties the creation week to the Sabbath. He argued that a literal reading upholds Scripture’s authority, cautioning against allegorical interpretations. Pastor Ikpugha, however, proposed that the “days” could symbolize longer epochs, referencing Psalm 90:4 and the universe’s vast age. He suggested Genesis...

Audiobook "If Atheists Created God" Exploring Fundamental Moral Dilemmas Across Humanity by A. MytafChapter 7. The Dilemma of Natural EvilWhy does suffering exist if God is both all-powerful and all-good? This age-old question, famously articulated by Epicurus, has challenged philosophers and theologians for centuries. While many argue that human free will explains moral evil—violence, corruption, and injustice—natural evil remains an enigma. Hurricanes, diseases, and genetic mutations exist beyond human control, raising profound questions about divine justice.In this episode, we explore some of the most thought-provoking responses to this dilemma.

Does science prove Jesus wrong?
In what way do Christians get marriage and sex right that the world is still lacking?

Catholic Parents Online48: How Do We Know God Exists?It is quite certain that many of us try to raise our children to love God. Yet, many of our youth seem to have lost sight of who God is, or more basically even, whether God exists.In the post-modern world of today, many doubt God’s existence because they do not find evidence for Him in our world. However, is this true? How can we convince our children that God does indeed exist?We share two ways (out of the many available) to help us prove God’s existence.Resources:Five...

Unfortunately many people, including many of our children, believe this to be the case. We need to correct this misperception that is so prevalent today.We discuss the relationship between #faith and #science, and show why they do not contradict each other, but rather complement each other in our pursuit of truth.Resources:Does Science Contradict...
