When God Spoke Greek

That is the title of Timothy Michael law's new book on the Septuagint http://www.timothymichaellaw.com/ This post is not about the book as I have not read it and do not know when or if I will get around to reading it. Instead this post is about two things. First, one has to deal with the …

Pet Peeves 2

At least that is the number I think is correct. I do not re-read my old posts so I lose track of which number I am up to. I am taking a sabbatical from my discussion forum http://archiesforum.europefreeforum.com/ as after about 7 years of so I haven't taken a break from posting there. It isn't …

Straight Talk

About homosexuality.  It has become the 'in' thing to do these days. One is not with it unless they support the homosexual community and help it achieve its desires. In fact, some people, San Antonio, are going as far as saying humans can't hold public office if they have even spoken against homosexuals or minorities. …

Is The Original New Testament Lost?

A Common Theme

This post will continue looking at the gems found in Hans Kung's book, The Beginning of All Things. This work really isn't out of date as it was published in 2007 and in the time between then and now nothing has been published to alter these gems. If there had been everybody would have known …

A Simple History Lesson

I won't be posting tomorrow so I thought of doing an extra one today. It is a simple article on the history of the Union Jack. Now to many people that may seem like trivial information but to some, it is highly important. For believers, knowing the right information and how to use it properly …

Knowledge And Faith

I like reading Hans Kung. His books have many little gems that provide food for thought. One example comes from his book, The Beginning of All Things, and he is quoting I. Kant: In the preface to the second edition of his Critique of Pure Reason, which he published in 1781 when he was already …

If You Say You Believe God

Then you can't say this: We still do not know for certain how life first arose from the inanimate. We do not know for certain what precise events introduced biogenesis... (The Beginning of All Things by Hans Kung, pg. 137) Because we do know for certain for God told us how it all took place. …

Another Discovery

This time they are saying it is related to Elisha but maybe not the prophet ... In other words, they will use the name Elisha to advance their agenda. http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/insideisrael/2013/July/Have-Archaeologists-Found-Prophet-Elishas-House/ As a word of warning, some internet bloggers are mocking the identification of David's palace and placing false discoveries on their website. One has mentioned …

God Did it

Three words unbelievers and others hate to hear. Their curiosity is looking for some other more complicated explanation and they are not satisfied with those three words. Yet for the believer, those three words are all they have at some points in time. God doesn't provide all the details right away to believers and explanations …
