No mystery in the gospel message.
Many preachers preach on subjects that are mysteries to them so that what is passed on helps no one to learn God’s plan or explain His care for people on the rocky road of life. This is disappointing. Mysteries do exist and maybe more often in the complex book of the Bible. The book of […]

Free Indeed!
There are many little-known facts about Jesus (Yeshua) that are not taught to His followers by those who ought to be knowledgeable. Sometimes it is because it seems irrelevant and other times it seems the truth might damage a preconceived tradition of some denominational doctrine. Most frightening is when those educated to teach the Bible have […]

RETHINKING BAPTISM
Baptism was an essential feature of the first century apostolic message of Christian discipleship. Immersion in water was an ancient rite of Jewish cleansing performed by both men and women who were aware of their “uncleanness.” The Jewish law commanded such ritual cleansing, which had very little to do with dirt on the body but […]

“What must I do to be saved?”
What must I do to be saved? The coming of Jesus Christ was an answer to the promise that was made to the first Jew named Abraham. This man lived in the post flood world of pagan men who had created their own religions. Abraham rejected their presumptions and waited for something better to happen. […]

Devious Deceptions and Dangerous Delusions
Evolutionary biology as a theory is on the defensive. Scientific arguments for evolution lack factual evidence, relying on “probably” and “could have” to establish the foundation of further speculation. When this kind of misadventure is pointed out, evolutionists are intimidated and angry often resorting to slander or derogatory remarks. Evolutionists will negate associating biological evolution […]

By Whose Authority?

Evolution – Education – Bible
In the future, much of the material that I will post whether for or against evolution will be followed by posts which consider the social ramifications of these worldviews. Today, most Western nations, if they have not adopted the evolutionary theory and given up their religious faith, are teetering on the brink of that decision. […]

Intelligent Design: Evidence that Demands this Verdict!
Arguments from design are not faith based guesses about biology in search of hopeful supernatural comfort. Design is a logical argument about the world that is based upon known processes; tested chemistry and a good understanding of how information is created and used to build and maintain complex structures. In comparison, evolution is not an […]

Blind Faith
I am reading some very useless books. The first is “A manual for Creating Atheists” by Peter Boghossian. His claim to fame was being thrown out of a PhD program in philosophy at the University of New Mexico. So I guess he is proud of being a trouble maker. I had hoped there would be […]
