A False Gospel is Like American Cheese

| August 17, 2025

A False Gospel is Like American Cheese Let’s begin with a question you may have never considered. Is American Cheese real cheese? Personally, I joke that American cheese is both an insult to cheese and an insult to being an American. But am I right? Is American cheese real cheese? According to the FDA, American […]

The Gist of Judges – What Went Wrong?

| July 1, 2025

What went wrong and why?Compare the first and last verses of Judges and the gist of the book is revealed: 1:1 – “The Israelites inquired of the LORD” 21:25 – “Every one did what was right in in his own eyes.” Subsequent generations descended into a moral morass.

Mathmatical Reason to Believe in God

| June 5, 2025

Here is a Mathematical reason to believe in the existence of God. One reason to believe is there are many reasons to given to believe. Contrast that with there is only one reason given to not believe. The one reason to not believe is the “problem of evil”. Problem is, atheism doesn’t have an explanation […]

Unbelievers as Witnesses?

| June 5, 2025

  How are unbelievers witnesses of Jesus’s resurrection? This is not about secular writings such as Josephus who reported Jesus’s resurrection. This is about you, if you are an unbeliever, or those you know. Unwittingly, you admit to Jesus’s resurrection. 1. Not counting the name of Jesus, can you name one other person crucified in […]

Notice the various ways it can be translated (LORD equals Yahweh): 1. The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 2. The LORD is our God; the LORD is one. 3. […]

Only Two Types of Evangelism

| June 5, 2025

Only Two Types of Evangelism? “Gone” and “go”. More specifically, “having gone” and “go”. Another way of saying this is, “while out” and “go out”. These are two types – only two types possibly – of evangelism. I wonder if every other type falls under these two. In Matthew 28:19, “go” is in the passive […]

Holy and Profane Language

| June 5, 2025

OK, Christians. We know the world likes to use profane language, and then to profane it more by adding, “Holy S!” and such. So why are Christians not only using the euphemism “crap” but profaning their language by saying, “Holy crap!” Did you know during the Wilderness Wanderings, Israel had to go outside of the […]

Yoked False Doctrines

| June 5, 2025

Yoked False Doctrines Whether this is an example of coincidence, causation, or correlation, it is an undeniable truth. That is, the Denominations that accept homosexuality also accept women within leadership roles. I am not saying everyone who accepts the egalitarian position concerning women’s roles accepts homosexuality as acceptable. Rather, the ones who accept homosexuality accept […]
