Noah's Faith
Volume 1, Number 5Vol 1 - No 5, January 31, 2004Noah's faith in the Word of God.The account of Noah and the days in which he lived are found in Genesis 5:29 through 10:32. Since the purpose of this study is to investigate faith in the Word of God we won't go into all the details of this account. However, it is important to note Genesis 6:5, 11 & 12 to understand the environment in which Noah lived. That passage speaks of the people living whose "every imagination of the thoughts of the heart was only evil continually," "The earth also was corrupt... Continue reading →
Enoch's Faith
Volume 1, Number 4Vol 1 - No 4, January 24, 2004:The faith of Enoch in the Word of God:We find in Geneses 5:3 - 24 and in Luke 3:37 & 38 that a man named Enoch is listed as the seventh man after Adam.

Since the record indicates that each of these men lived from 895 to 962 years of age, the number of sons and daughters no doubt... Continue reading →

It is clear from this passage that in order to be in a right relationship with God they were to... Continue reading →
Satan's Attack on Adam's Faith
Volume 1, Number 2Vol 1 - No 2, January 10, 2004:Satan's first recorded attack on God's Word and faith therein:In last week's study we reviewed Bible verses that teach, "the just shall live by faith," (Habakkuk 2:4 and quoted in Romans 1:17, Galations 3:11 and Hebrews 10:38.) "without faith it is impossible to please God," (Hebrews 11:6) and "faith by hearing and hearing by the Word of God," (Romans 10:17.) In light of these Biblical truths we look to the dawn of human history and to the first man, for in order to be in a right relationship with his creator and God,... Continue reading →
Introduction to Faith Studies
Volume 1, Number 1Vol 1 - No 1, January 1, 2004:Introduction:Greetings to all! After a great deal of study on the subject of faith in the Bible it is now time to reduce to writing some of what has been observed. My goal is to send out over the internet a short article every week. This study is based on the inerrancy of the Bible as being the actual Word of God, as originally written by the various authors as inspired by the Holy Spirit. The translation used in this study is the King James Version. We begin with the premise, and this... Continue reading →
