Theologically, it’s been a day that began and ended shockingly. The first was over modern-day Christians arguing in a blog that the Bible does indeed condone slavery. And on that basis, atrocities committed by professing believers can be excused as … Continue reading
This is my commentary on an article by the same name at American Thinker, a conservative political site. While I believe that religion must not be excluded as part of our culture and history as a nation, I also believe … Continue reading
I received a newsletter from Worldview Weekend and wanted to comment, but their site (hopefully unintentionally) discourages comments due to the form asking for your full address and age. Hence another blog post of mine is born. And the title … Continue reading
I’ve often written about the need for balance in Christianity— not the balance that is mistaken for compromise of the essentials of the faith, but the balance that pairs justice with mercy, holiness with love, and knowledge with spirit. I’ve … Continue reading
Once again I feel the need to speak out against a harmful and naive teaching popular in many churches today. I know I’ve written such things before and likely no one will see this, but at least writing it down … Continue reading
This 2-1/2 hour documentary is truly frightening and contains disturbing words and images. But it is a good collection of facts that overturn the massive, planned, evil deception being heavily promoted everywhere, even among Christians, even by well-respected and “grounded” … Continue reading
This document is my personal summary of various Bible prophecies I believe are soon to be fulfilled. It covers both Testaments but not in extreme detail, since my goal was to get a sense of the “big picture”; my guiding … Continue reading
Bible prophecy has once again been commanding my attention lately, as it has often all my life. I’ve read dozens of books, hundreds of online articles, and even considered reports of dreams and visions, as well as trying to follow … Continue reading
“You will know them by their fruit”, Jesus told us. And it’s rotten. On occasion I have emailed various Bible teachers over the years, to ask them to clarify something or challenge them with scripture. So far, every single one … Continue reading
After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood … Continue reading
One of my primary interests as a Christian and a blogger has been the plight of women in Christianity, and to a slightly lesser extent, general society. I’ve noted the parallel between slavery and misogyny in articles here and here … Continue reading
There’s nothing like peer pressure and shame culture to stifle what is loosely called “free thinking”. As people have always done, they vigorously defend “the prevailing scientific view” as what “thinking” people accept rather than clinging to outdated or backward … Continue reading
This phrase comes from Rom. 1:18-20: God’s rage is being revealed from heaven against every kind of irreverence and injustice committed by people who unjustly suppress the truth. And it’s because what can be known about God is obvious among … Continue reading
Have you ever noticed that evil never creates or initiates, but only reacts? Recently there was a report of atheists un-blessing a highway with “unholy water”; the Christians do something and the anti-Christians try to undo it. The name “atheism” … Continue reading
It used to be that employee management was called the personnel department, but then it was changed to human resources. Most people don’t think about the name change, but in my opinion it was deliberate (by some at least; others … Continue reading
We live in an era of great deception. Propaganda flies in all directions and we have to be careful what we believe, being especially alert for half-truths or false fronts where there’s enough truth or goodness to make us ignore … Continue reading
I was given a link to a site focused on the discovery of a curious skull found in Mexico, and it brings up some important issues regarding science and history. There is a lot of material to go through, but … Continue reading
That title is very familiar to Americans, being part of our Declaration of Independence. And we have added to the list of things that are deemed self-evident, to include the intrinsic equality of all human beings, regardless of race, sex, … Continue reading
The term cognitive dissonance refers to an inability/unwillingness to make sense of two conflicting ideas held at the same time in the same person.* An example would be the WWII Nazi prison camp guards who would torture prisoners by day … Continue reading
There is something I think that needs to be emphasized and reinforced concerning something I wrote at the end of Deconstructing ‘Bondage of the Will’: “Satan binds, but God frees. So whose teachings was Luther spreading?” In my reading I’ve … Continue reading
