The Philosopher's Stone
There is a show on the History Channel, hosted by a nonagenarian actor who has to sit on a stool as he pretends to be all wise, when the name of the show is Unexplained . The whole premise of the show is to point out how little big brains know, especially when it pertains to well-documents things that were witnessed in the past, but cannot be explained how such things took place.

Quick synopsis of the Parable of the Ten Virgins
Recently, I have been seeing just how profound Jesus telling the Parable of the Ten Virgins is. It is not as if I have not seen profound meaning in that parable before, it is that it has been coming up more frequently in example after example that I write, based on the necessity of one’s soul to divinely marry Yahweh, in order for a soul to be saved.

David as a nerd
A thought came to me the other night as I was drifting off to sleep, which told me to look at David through a new set of eyes. Rather than seeing him as a mighty warrior, tall, muscular, and brave [those were Saul’s traits], see him as a scrawny, yet flexible nerd-like person. The image of Woody Allen in Bananas came to mind. For most of the world not alive in 1971, who might not have seen the movie, here is a clip to the idea of the David image that flashed across my mind

A lesson in Hope
I watched a television pastor preach about hope this morning. What he said was confusing, as he was connecting hope to a promise from Yahweh (who he called “God”). The pastor spoke of Abram and Sarai being old in years, thus Sarai was beyond child-bearing capability. He said, "Because God had promised them children, they had hope, which was based on faith.”

The Rapture
There seems to be a fresh influx of commercials on television that are focusing on how much God loves you ["you" being a generic plural pronoun usage], and all you [individuals with money in the bank] have to do is say a simple prayer, with apps now available for a daily prayer. Of course, with the recent warfare going on in Israel-Gaza, the commercials begging for $45 so hungry Jews can be fed have increased.

The lessons of the Good Samaritan
[ Please read this posting knowing I post it now because of the ongoing warfare in Israel, due to terror acts by Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinians ( et al ) and the surrounding and supportive Arab-Muslim world against Judeo-Christians that has long been the 'hell on earth' found in the Middle East. The warfare in Ukraine is also a reflection of this lesson. To Christians who raise the proverbial sword over the necks of Christians who "do not stand" blindly with Israel, or with

The Biblical Prophecy of Palestine versus Israel
If you want to see the end of the conflict that is happening now in Israel, look no further than First Samuel, the end of chapter one (sections 28-31) and the beginning of chapter two (section 1).

The duality of Adam and Eve
First of all, let me make it known that Eve was never named that in Genesis 2. The New International Version (NIV) gives a heading (not official text) that says, “Adam and Eve.” They place that heading before Genesis 2:4, with it then covering all verses thereafter. The New American Standard Bible (NASB) and the English Standard Version (ESV) both show headings that says, “The Creation of Man and Woman.” However, in the Hebrew text written, we read how Yahweh took from “ adam

Elijah and the priests of Baal, most relevant today
In 1 Kings 18:25-29 we read: “25 Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one of the bulls and prepare it first, since there are so many of you. Call on the name elohekem [of your god], but do not light the fire.” 26 So they took the bull given them and prepared it. Then they called on the name of Baal from morning till noon. “Baal, answer us!” they shouted. But there was no response; no one answered. And they danced around the altar they had made. 27 At noon Elij

Jesus spoke of the reality of hate
On television today there are multiple people promoting "God loves you," with a simple prayer repeated after the promoter bringing God and Jesus into one's life - presto chango. Of course, these leaders are more interested in getting cash donations to "do the Lord's work" than they are with saving souls. Imagine watching a television commercial that said, "The world loves someone with a master's degree; so, say this simple wish, 'I wish I had a Masters degree,' then click

Where to find the lost ark of the Covenant
Those who kneel down at the altar of Hollywood moguls, milking them for cash that will disappear like a wet dream when death awakens their souls from their bodies of dirt, dust and clay, seem to get a hardon these days coming up with new theories about where the ark of the Covenant will be found.

The lessons of Luke 16
I am led to address today the parable Jesus told that is known as “Lazarus and the rich man.” (Luke 16:19-31) I have written an in-depth breakdown of this whole story, which can be found by clicking on this link: The rich man and Lazarus . (2019) In 2022 I wrote a shorter piece, which can be read by clicking on this link: The man wealthy and the poor man God has helped .

The duality of Cain and Abel
I watched a pastor on television this morning, whose sermon was on Cain and Abel. While he did not mention any of the views I came to see, which led me to write the short book The Cain & Abel Story: An Interpretation , listening to this topic brought about a revelation I had not seen clearly before. It has to do with two Biblical figures being metaphor for the duality that exists in all human beings. One mistake the pastor said was that Cain left Eden and went to Nod. That

The reality of Holy Week
Recently, I read of someone expressing joy that Maundy Thursday was coming this week; and, that was his or her favorite day of the church year. I did not read the explanation why; but I hope he or she changes socks and takes regular baths. I would hate to be a priest who had to wash the feet of someone like the TV character Al Bundy (known for having stink-foot when he took his shoes off).

The Resurrection
With Easter Sunday coming next week (after the farce timeline projected by “Holy Week” and Maundy Thursday and Good Friday [neither is factually correct, nor upheld by the text of the four Gospels]), it is time to reach out and lay hands on the slimy eel called “The Resurrection.” It is hard for most to grasp.

The heavens and the earth
The very first verse of the Holy Bible – Genesis 1:1 – has been mistranslated. The English translation every adult Christian knows is this: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” That is not what was written. The Hebrew of Moses (transcribed onto some form of scroll or paper much later in time) is transliterated as this: “ B'rëshiyt Bärä élohiym ët haSHämayim w'ët hääretz ” (qbible.com). My preferred source (BibleHub Interlinear) punctuates this, so it a
