There are at least two widely held views of the miracles of Christ: that they are designed to teach moral lessons and that they are signs. … If miracles are signs, what are they a sign of? There are three views: they are signs of the inauguration of the Kingdom of God, signs authenticating His teaching, or signs authenticating the identity of Christ Himself. This paper takes the final view, that the miracles of Jesus fit into a pattern showing, in an unmistakable way, that Jesus is God incarnate.
The Age of the Earth and Genesis
Can the record of God’s work in Creation be reconciled with the uniformitarian presumption of modern scientist? The reading of Genesis 1 appears to allow no leeway in reading them as anything other than a literal, historical, six days of creation. Is it possible to insert a gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 to to “make up the time?” This paper argues that while a gap is possible, and may even be the best reading of the Scriptures, any such gap cannot be used to “make up the time” to correlate modern scientific assumptions with the Scriptures.
