Who’s the God of History?

“I declared the former things long ago and they went forth from My mouth, and I proclaimed them. Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass… Therefore I declared them to you long ago, Before they took place I proclaimed them to you” (Isaiah 48:3,5). Here Israel’s God claims to tell history in advance, challenging rival gods and empires. Where does this God make such declarations, how were they shaped in history, and which seem to match the rise and fall of real cities and kingdoms?

Who’s the God of Science?

Science is a disciplined way of listening to how the universe works through observation, measurement, and testing. Ancient sacred texts also speak about the natural world: sometimes in ways that simply echo the fears and superstitions of their empires, and sometimes in ways that resonate strikingly with what science later discovers. When a text’s descriptions of creation repeatedly line up with the broad contours of the modern scientific picture, without claiming to be a science manual, it can strengthen the case that we are hearing not just human imagination, but the voice of a Creator whose Kingdom stands over all powers.

The Times of Restitution of All Things

God is the Savior of ALL men, SPECIALLY of those that believe (1Tim 4:10). This scripture promises God's redemption for ALL humans and also a SPECIAL salvation for the believers. How does that work? And Jesus says, 'To the one who does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations' (Rev 2:26). What are these nations and why are they going to be ruled by the followers of Christ?

The Ransoming of Humankind

If every human falls asleep in death due to Adamic sin, how can the Bible (1Cor 15:22) promise ‘in Christ all will be made alive’? God declares in the Bible – ‘I will RANSOM them [mankind] from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death (Hosea 13:14). 1Timothy 2:3-6 describes how Jesus Christ fulfilled God's promise. In that explanation, what do these phrases mean - 'ransom for all', 'to be testified in due time' and 'to be saved and to come unto the truth'?

The Death Problem

Why do people die? Was it supposed to be this way? Were human beings destined to live and die as a natural order of things that atheists claim to be the case? Animals die, don’t they? What happens when a man dies? What did Jesus Christ say about death? Does science agree with the bible on the state of death? What is a soul according to the Bible? Can the soul die? What about the spirit? Won't that live on after death?
