A Latin introduction to the Letter to Henry II
In June, 1558 (on the 27th), Nostradamus finished writing a letter that would be sent to his king, Henry II of France. The letter was written in response to a demand that Nostradamus explain his work The Prophecies , which could not be understood by those in power.

Mary Anoints Jesus
I would like to address some recent news that an ancient document has been newly translated, in which it is reported to reveal text that referred to Jesus (Christ) as married, to Mary Magdalene, and that the two had two children together. There has been blanket rejection of this revelation as untrue, from theologians and scholars. Still, there are those who claim this news makes Jesus appear more common, and therefore more within the grasp of duplication, which is the wrong

The wisdom of cutting a baby in two
Bring me a sword. For some reason, I have been thinking about King Solomon’s wise decision that solved who the rightful mother of a baby was, so I thought I would refresh my memory about that judgment. Here’s what I realized: The two women who argued they were the mother were prostitutes. Both women lived together in the same house. Both women gave birth to sons, one three days before the other. The second-born son died because his mother “lay on him … during the night.” The

Your sons and daughters will prophesy
The prophet Joel is known to have said, “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.” (Joel 2:28, NIV) This prophecy is one that explains how the people of God will have proof of God, through prophetic abilities in ordinary people, rather than depending on some Temple-bred lineage of offspring who are trained in the various prophetic arts.

Cain and Abel
Notice the altars upon which the offerings were placed. For the past week I have been looking deeply at the story told in chapter 4 of the Book of Genesis, which tells of Cain & Abel. I have been amazed at what I see there, but what I see may seem difficult for many Christians to accept. I say this in the light of the recent televised “debate” between a Scientist and a Creationist – where the Creationist believes the earth is only 6,000 years old. There seems to be so much

Jesus, the Escape Master
In the original Star Wars movie, there was a scene where Obi-wan, Luke, R2D2 and C3PO have cruised into a settlement, only to be stopped and questioned by Stormtroopers who are checking for wanted people & droids. The script goes like this:

Cut off his right ear
In the Gospels, Matthew, Luke, and John tell of a servant of the high priest having his right ear cut off in the garden at Gethsemane, when Jesus was arrested. John named the disciple who used a knife to cut off an ear as Simon Peter and he also named the servant who had his ear cut off as Malchus.

Adam and wife (Genesis 2-4)
I have already posted about Adam and adam , where the use of “ adam ” in Genesis 1 is different from the “ adam ” of Genesis 2 and beyond. Now, I would like to add a few comments about what one can see written into the story of “big-A Adam.”

Defining Marriage
So much is in the news today about the issue of gay marriage. Recently, clerks in Utah County (Provo, Utah) were threatened by the Fed for not allowing homosexuals to register for marriage licenses . The reason the clerks were hesitating was said to be because they figured the ruling would be argued more in court. Now, all this is a sign of the breakdown of the religious fabric of the United States of America, because (supposedly) the only thing that prevents homosexuals

And They Thought It Couldn’t Happen Here
Let me first make a disclaimer. The first half of this article can come across as an accusatory rant, where I seem to have no blame in the topic whatsoever, while everyone else does. Let me make it clear that is the wrong impression to come away with. In this article I address “you.” This has to be seen as the second person “you,” a personal, friend-to-friend “you,” and not the third person, “you,” an “I don’t know you” “you.” It means “you” reading this article, and as
