Disclaimer: Previously published by the author under the title of Understanding Genesis 1-11, From Adam to Abraham The narrative of humanity begins with creation—an expression of divine purpose, beauty, and intent.

This progression from creation to covenant transcends mere historical or theological accounts; it embodies God’s engagement with His people. Dr. Andrew Koh explores a major biblical theme, connecting the creation of the world to the sacred promises that shape our ...

“The Star of Bethlehem” DVD has caused many to accept 33 AD as the date of Jesus’ crucifixion. This date is arrived at by using an Egyptian calendar for a prophecy written to Jews, and by a Jew who served under Babylonian and Persian governments, none of whom used an Egyptian calendar. This date is not only biblically incorrect, but also results in the endorsement of the “7-year reign of antichrist”, which is a modern doctrine that contradicts Scripture. The Bible clearly states that the reign of antichrist is three and one-half years. This book clearly exposes and refutes both of...

Stated simply, the Genesis Gap is the belief that angels rebelled against God at a time not revealed but that was obviously previous to Adam and Eve, who were given dominion of the Earth, after it was destroyed by God and recreated. This is why we see a finished heaven and Earth in Genesis 1:1, followed by an Earth that is covered by darkness and a catastrophic flood of water in verse two.

We find ourselves living today in very much a "post-Christian" world. Not only does the culture largely reject Christianity's claims, we find that long-held basic truths that people have embraced throughout history have been jettisoned—the belief in objective morality (right and wrong transcend each person's opinions and feelings), spiritual reality (the world contains more than what we see via our 5 senses – that God is real), that truth is objective and knowable (if something is true, my disagreeing with it or finding it unpleasant emotionally doesn't make it false).This presents a ...

Bible study and especially deeper theology is far more vast than most people realize. People who teach from the Holy Scriptures can be very sincere but also sincerely wrong. This is error, rather than "false teaching" which always has an evil motive behind it, such as gleaning wealth from God's people, purposefully confusing them and claiming to be something they are not. This includes Prophets (some men really are Prophets), healers (this supernatural gift does operate today as God wills but some men use false chicanery), and the list goes on.

Who is Jesus Christ? This question elicits a lot of mystery and confusion. Some say Jesus was only a regular human—maybe a wise man or prophet. Others say he is a created being, like an angel. Still, others say Jesus is God but not human. While others say he is both fully God and fully human. Who exactly is Jesus? Scripture teaches that our eternal destiny depends on how we answer this question (1 John 4:2-3, Rom 10:9-10); therefore, it befits us to reflect on this question and answer it correctly. In Christology, we’ll consider what the Bible says about Jesus Christ, so that we may ...
