1 Thessalonians 5:20 Don’t despise prophecies. This is understood in two different ways: Don’t despise God’s revelation through the Holy Spirit i.e. the words of godly people around you Don’t despise God’s revelation through the Bible i.e. the words of prophets recorded in the Bible I feel like I’m caught between two different camps.  I …

In an attempt to understand the nature of the Antichrist, I’ve gathered relevant scriptures and translated them into my own words, while I contemplate how they all fit together.  In discussing this, it’s important to not conform with other’s teachings, but to come to my own conclusion.  You should consider this in comparison with others’ …

Antichristians would love the church to preach about climate change.  Well, I’m gonna give ‘em what they’re asking for. The climate is changing.  You can’t stop it, and you can’t run away from it.  If you run to the mountains, they’ll fall on you.  If you run to the forest, it will burn.  If you …

I pose this question to test your theology.  Warning: I’m not writing to those who seek a comfortable religion, but to put your faith through the fire, to refine it towards perfection.  For example, if you’re offended by the question, please allow me to offend you further, by suggesting this may be due to having …

Psalm 91:10 No harm will come to you. No sickness will come near your house.” There are many comforting scriptures as we face pandemics, but sometimes these are taken out of context.  This entire Psalm is wonderful comfort and highly recommended reading at this time.

I was recently asked what I think about homosexuality.  I’d like to reply, “That’s the wrong question”.  However, that doesn’t satisfy genuine curiosity.  It’s the wrong question because it’s used to bait Christians into an answer, which is then used to slander Christians of being bigoted homophobes.  Ironically, the word bigot means “A person who …

A friend suggested I investigate Muslim claims that Muhammad is the prophet promised in the Bible.  The argument orients around the Greek word Parqaleeta, translated as comforter in: John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with …

I had a couple of guys pop in last Sunday from a church near the Palms mall.  We had quite a debate about worshiping on Saturday.  My daughter also had a similar encounter on the streets recently.  I’d like to clear up this issue. Christians have generally been worshipping on Sundays as far back as …

The Tribulation is prophesied as seven-years of God’s judgement of the Earth.  Many have analyzed Biblical texts to understand the details of how this will play out.  I will only provide an overview of the tribulation and leave the details to more astute scholars.  However, there are many commonly taught points that I disagree on. …
