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).

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you
The local TV Baptist minister preached about Jeremiah 1 this past Sunday. In his sermon that compared Christians (I guess) to Jeremiah, he focused on God knowing ‘His own.’ He seemed to make Jeremiah be teaching Christians to stop thinking about what God wants one to do and just trust God to lead one to that end. While that is not bad advice, he missed the point of what is written in the verses he stressed: five through eight. In verse five, the New American Standard Bible

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

After my own heart
The Sunday morning Baptist minister’s sermon this Sunday was focused on being one “after God’s own heart.” The following verses were read aloud, as the core of this truth. It is written of the fate of Saul, “Now your kingdom will not endure; Yahweh has sought a man after His own heart and appointed him ruler over His people, because you have not kept the command of Yahweh .” (1 Samuel 13:14, Berean Study Bible [BSB]) It is then written of Yahweh telling Samuel who to pour wi

Being a Doer of Faith
I watched a local Baptist minister on television this Sunday morning. He is a ‘fill-in’ for the man who previously was the pastor of this church, but suddenly disappeared with no reason given. This replacement comes across as an over-polished hired hand for the Baptist Convention, where his presentation is so plastic it seems he was a straight A student in seminary homiletics class. The last few Sundays he has been reading and preaching about the Book of James. Today, he s

Born from above
In the past, I have made clear my opinion that modern Christians love to read (or hear read to them) New Testament Scripture (from the Gospels) and imagine themselves as there with Jesus, especially when Jesus was telling the Pharisees, Sadducees, and scribes how wrong they were on religious matters, as if patting Jesus on the back, while saying, “You tell ‘em Jesus. They are not good like us!”

What is Gnosticism?
While watching some man in jeans and a t-shirt preach a sermon this Sunday morning, said to be “senior pastor” at some ‘new wave’ branch of the Baptist Church, he touched on how early Christianity was changed due to philosophical adjustments that entered the churches. His point was that Paul went around establishing churches that changed after he left, causing him to write letters to ‘tell the congregation’ to stay true to what he told them before.

What is a church?
Something I learned that surprised me was the Jews did not call a building where they met on the sabbath a “synagogue.” That came later in history, after Jesus’ time. The Greek word that is the root for this name is “ synagein ,” which means “to bring together.” The Hebrew terms that are relative to what we call a synagogue are: bet ha-tefilla (“house of prayer”), bet ha-kneset (“house of assembly”), and bet ha-midrash (“house of study”). Any place where Jews met, when

Are you foolish?
The Baptist minister that has a thirty-minute broadcast on the local television station on Sunday mornings focused this Sunday on Galatians 3:3, which has Paul asking, “Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”

Is astrology a sin?
I was led to write an amazing book that reveals the actual birth date and birth time of Jesus. Of course, we all know where he was born. The place of birth is Bethlehem. Yahweh led me to that dawning (suddenly, with no forethought of my own), simply because in my youth I became interested in astrology. I studied it. I took a test to prove I could do all the things an astrologer (sissies call them “astrologists”) must do. I was certified by an astrological organization; an

Thank you for your service?
Remembering war deaths is not reason to celebrate. According to the Wikipedia article entitle “ World War II casualties ”: “Deaths directly caused by the war (including military and civilian fatalities) are estimated at 50–56 million, with an additional estimated 19–28 million deaths from war- related disease and famine. Civilian deaths totaled 50–55 million. Military deaths from all causes totaled 21–25 million, including deaths in captivity of about 5 million prisone

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

Following Jesus or running him out of town?
I watched a Baptist minister read various verses from the New Testament this morning. As scattered in focus as they were, I believe his point was relative to coming to the realization that following Jesus was not a questionable matter. One is “either all in or all out.”

Explaining who the two clothed in brightness were
I posted an article that posed the question about the Ascension of Jesus, asking “Who are the two men clothed in white?” I also posted this meme that was on an Internet search of pictures the depicted this part of the story from Acts 1. (I added the red parts) Since Christianity is a religion of ‘paper lions’ – pew riders (at best) – no one has responded to the question; but that was expected. I would expect someone to declare they were angels. That makes sense, because th

Two men clothed in white?
On May 18, 2023 Christian churches recognize Ascension Day. As this commemorative day comes to a close, I have a serious question to ask all who have listened to a priest, pastor, minister or preacher sermonize about this event. The question is this: Who are the “two men dressed in white” who “suddenly … stood beside them” [the disciples], saying, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come b
