You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. ~ John 15:14

It is ridiculous to compare Jesus with American soldiers, especially those in Iraq.  They may risk their lives to defend the American Federal Government's interests on the other side of the planet, but I don't see any American soldiers voluntarily laying down their lives for anyone — not at all like Jesus, the Lamb of God, did for the…

"You are Jewish if your mother was Jewish." 1) This is nowhere to be found in the Bible.  All the Bible's genealogies are lists of fathers, not mothers. 2) If this were so, that one traces his "Jewishness" through his mother, then none of the Israelites since the Patriarchs were "Jewish" since Judah and his brothers all married Canaanite women with…

I had a dream A dream of a book, very old, so old the wrinkled parchment pages could not be touched without causing them to turn to indecypherable fragments. It was as if Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a CAT…

Yet again, another article defaming my name and character has been posted on the _________ Blog. I called Dr. T and received great advice. Love your enemies. We have adopted the rules Sharon posted awhile back, and would wish that the                      Blog would adopt it as well. I have chosen, after much prayer and venting,…

Augustine was a “church father” that lived between 354-430 A.D. He is credited with influencing some of the most notable theologians in history including Martin Luther & John Calvin. But how many of us have read anything in detail by Augustine? Might I suggest a revisit to the classics of Christian literature with a FREE copy of “City…

A cross has come to mean different things to different people these days, virtually always associated with Jesus and His followers, Christians. But what did a cross represent at the time that Jesus carried it? Was it not associated with the worst kind of criminals, the condemned, those consigned to die for their wrongs against…

  The New Covenant = the Jerusalem from above Galatians 4:21-31 & Galatians 5:1-3 21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? 22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was…
