Adam and Eve from the Bible
Introduction
Adam and Eve were the first truly human creations of God, designed by God to have a relationship with Him in a special garden He created in Eden. The garden of Eden was probably in the Persian Gulf region of the Middle East. Although Adam was created as a mortal being, he could have become immortal by eating from the tree of life. Instead, while Adam was away, Eve was enticed by the serpent (Satan in disguise) and convinced to eat the forbidden fruit, disobeying God. This original sin led to our sin nature being passed down from one generation to the next, although we are still condemned by our own sin. Although young earth creationists claim that original sin ushered in a host of radical changes to the creation, the Bible is clear that "natural evil" is simply part of God's good creation—required for the existence of spiritual life on earth. You can discover more about Adam and Eve in the articles below.

Confronting the Cognitive Dissonance over Grace
Historic Christianity’s teaching that salvation is solely a gift of God’s grace stands at odds with all other religions of the world. The New Testament explicitly teaches that salvation is not earned by human moral effort but is a divinely imparted gift or endowment (χάρις [charis] is the New Testament Greek word for “grace” and means “unmerited favor”). Historic Christianity affirms that…

A Dozen Evidences for the Resurrection of Jesus
Jesus’s resurrection is at the very heart of historic Christianity. In fact, the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ is both a central doctrinal belief of the faith and the primary evidence for the truth of the religion itself. Given the importance of Easter for Christians, it is appropriate for us to consider a dozen evidences for the resurrection of Jesus.…
