I’m currently frustrated with all arguments I’m encountering from people supporting the Hebrew Roots Movement, and Messianic Judaism. I understand that these two groups may not want to be grouped together, but I really can’t see why I shouldn’t. Messianic Judaism sounds like an oxymoron to me. If you are in Christ, just call yourself a Christian already. From what I gather, to be a Messianic Jew, you need to be born an ethnic Jew, and then come to believe that Jesus was, and is the Messiah. Ok, fine, but why do they continue to practice their faith as if they had never been converted? Just dr ..read more

I literally saw a video from a supposed Christian who was proclaiming that Trump is the savior, and a god/man. Let me just take a moment to explain something. Trump is not God, nor is he a little god, or a god/man! He is a sinner, who was created by God, just like the rest of us. When I put up anti-demoncrap posts, it is because all of them, from my perspective, are pro-evil. I am against almost everything they claim to be for, not because I’m being contrarian, but rather, they are choosing what God has judged in His word as evil, and rebellion. As a Christian, even though I’m guilty of evil ..read more

I know there is a lot of emotions swirling around right now focused on Israel. People are for them, or against them. There really isn’t much middle ground anymore. I’m just kind of sitting across the way in the bleachers watching. I don’t have a dog in the fight. Israel has all the $$$, and weapons, they need. I don’t condone all of the hatred focused on the Jews lately. If my neighbors were constantly attacking me, and I had the means, I’d completely destroy them regardless of what the other neighbors thought. They could be next. I’m surprised they’ve waited this long to reduce the strip to ..read more

I was in the market for a compact edition, and as it turns out, Three Sixteen Publishing has released a compact edition. I found one I liked in an edge lined, navy blue, goatskin leather. As you can see from the photo, it is pretty compact. I was surprised that the font was still larger than that of the Cambridge Pitt Minion Bibles, and much easier to read. The Pitt’s font is 6pt. The Compact edition LSB is 8.5pt. This makes a significant difference. The font is laid out in a two column, paragraph format. It is printed on 28 g.s.m. paper. The cover is pretty soft, and flexible goatskin leath ..read more

Being lead by the spirit is not some mystical prompting that you feel, and then decide to go along with. It is how God in His sovereign will causes you to do something that wouldn’t have naturally occurred to you. He moves you to do, think, feel, say, something so that you do it. When you see that you have done something good, and others have seen it, you give credit, and glory to God. So by saying that I was lead by His Spirit to do this, you should be giving Him the credit, not extolling your own pseudo-virtuous volition agreeing with His because you are just that special. Come on? Give me ..read more

I’m not listing every section of scripture from the Bible where God chooses, a person, people, or place. I’m simply citing some of those sections to demonstrate an overwhelming testimony to God’s sovereign will in eternity, as well as our temporal world of space-time. People get hung up on predestination, and the logical conclusion of double predestination. I think it is because they think too highly of themselves, and their worth, while thinking too lowly of God, and His. People want to judge God for electing some to eternal life, while others are logically destined to be reprobate, and to s ..read more

We can see this when we compare some cultures. For instance, let’s compare Christian culture, thug culture, Islamic culture, and secular culture. Of course, Christianity gave us the Renaissance, and all of the modern human flourishing we’ve ever experienced. It gave us the truths that founded our civilization, and made us greater than any other civilization that has been, all to extol the glory of God. You can argue that, but if you do, it is because you live in a fantasy land, and have no firm foundation, or ability to perceive, and recognize truth, as you are lost, and dead in your sins. Th ..read more

It seems like the world is employing the bogeyman of, “mental health issues” to all the mass shootings. We know where this leads. It leads to a removal of responsibility for the crime from the shooter, and places it on society, their families, or some other external source. Modern psychology is an offshoot of Puritan Christians practice of, “soul care.” Which in Greek the word soul is, “ψυχή” or transliterated as , “psuchē” or psyche for those of you who don’t know what an upsilon is. They practiced Biblical counseling, also known as nouthetic counseling. The practice involved listening to th ..read more

In the Grimm’s Snow White fairy tale, she is taken out to the forest at 7 years old. The huntsman has mercy on her, and lets her go. He kills a wild pig, and brings it’s heart back as proof to the queen/stepmother/witch. She has it salted, and cooked, and eats it, believing it to be the heart of Snow White… That’s one sick woman. Anyhow, after three attempts on her life, she finally gets her with the poison apple. Some years have passed. The prince doesn’t awaken her with a kiss. He sees her, asks the dwarfs for her because he can’t go on without seeing her beauty everyday. Keep in mind, she ..read more

I recently kicked a guy out of the group for writing that James White, and Calvinists, believe that God is the author of moral evil. (In a nutshell.) He was being very simple minded, and ignorant, as well as insulting. He was acting as if only Calvinists have been concerned with theodicy. The concept of moral evil, and the theological study of it is called, “Theodicy.” It isn’t just a Calvinist thing. People of all monotheistic religions have had to wrestle with this idea. You, as a Christian have probably briefly thought about it, but decided it was above your pay-grade, and simply trusted i ..read more
