No miracle of Scripture has called forth so much unbelief. The issue is not between the doubter and this ancient record, but between the doubter and the Lord Jesus Christ (Mat 12:39, 40). Science, "falsely so called" (1Ti 6:20), failing to take account of the fact that it deals only with the outward phenomena of a fallen race, and of an earth under a curse (Gen 3:17-19), is intolerant of miracle. To faith, and to true science, miracle is what might be expected of divine love, interposing for good in a physically and morally disordered universe (Rom 8:19-23).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
