With current events in Israel.  I’m very disturbed with the international call for peace and feel that praying for peace in Gaza is contrary to God’s will. The horrible humanitarian crisis in Gaza is consequential to their regime’s actions – just as so many innocent Germans were caught up in the carpet bombing of their …

Ok, I’m messing with ya – to get you to think outside the box, and to challenge your theology. It was Judas who betrayed Jesus.  His name derives from Jacob’s son, Judah, whose name means praise.  So, you could say “Praise” betrayed Jesus.  In fact, you could say “Praise betrayed Salvation” because Jesus means salvation. …

Short answer: Not much, but it fits between events, from which we could speculate. In What does the Bible say about the future?, I wrote about near-future prophecies, including this timeline from Ezekiel 36-40.

In the light of the current mandates, I’ve been contemplating the comparison between vaccine objectors and Conscientious Objectors (CO’s) during the world wars.  The stance governments are taking against the COVID pandemic is similar to a war.  Vaccine objectors complain this as a disproportionate to the threat- level of COVID’s mortality rate.

I want to encourage you in your current situation.  I don’t know what’s going on, but I know that God’s in this.  He’s using this to shape you for the future.  It’s important to learn to go through tough times with God at our side.  I believe God’s allowed this to happen at a time …

I’m aware of two theories for the origin of Demons: They are the spirits of a race that existed before Adam was created (pre-Adamite) They are the spirits of the offspring of angels and humans from the days of Enoch (Nephilim) The Bible doesn’t clearly teach on the origins of Demons.  i.e., I can’t point …

I’m just writing a Bible Study commentary on the gospel of Luke as an introduction to Christianity. I wanted to share what I wrote about repentance, and my personal story of how adopting a sabbath day of rest each week has transformed my mental health. Luke 13:1 At that time some people reported to Jesus …

Question from a friend: “What do you think of Palestine?  Should Palestine also be a nation?  What does the bible say about others inheriting as well as Israel or not inheriting?  From my political point of view.  In 1948 Israel and Palestine should have both become independent nations.” History To answer this excellent question, we …
