Be aware: this article does not offer medial advice and does not call for the cessation of the taking of medicines. While speaking to Nicodemus, Jesus stated the following: “Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the…

Hypocrisy: 1. The feigning of beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; insincerity. 2. Pretense of goodness. Hupokrisis (Greek): Playing a part on the stage. How many times have you heard, “The church is full of hypocrites!” Partially we deserve this sort of put down because there are some people in…

It is very easy to pick on the orthodox-fundamentalists-conservatives but when it comes to authentic Christianity, liberalism is a danger. For example, a friend and I went to a lecture by Muslims about Islam. This lecture took place at a Christian church; St. Michael and all Angels Episcopal Church – Alb. NM. It was quite…

This essay is not intended to be a technical manual on how to determine context. Rather, it is meant to demonstrate two examples of misinformation that is being used to demean the Bible. One is a case of lack of citation in which a quote is stated or a general comment is made which is…

“But remember, dear friends, that the apostles of our Master, Jesus Christ, told us this would happen: ‘In the last days there will be people who…make a religion of their own whims and lusts‘” (Jude v. 17-18, The Message trans.) We quote the following exchange from an NBC Dateline with Stone Phillips presentation entitled Secrets…

Forget the issue of the Earth revolving around the Sun, some atheists think that the universe revolves around them. Enter Rob Sherman who sued to persecute thought crimes. “‘It’s good, it’s what I wanted,’ Sherman said. He said the law was designed to unconstitutionally ‘proselytize Christianity to a captive audience’ of school children’_Sherman said Thursday…

It seems that recent events have taught us quite a few important lessons. I am referring to: The murder of Stephen Tyrone Johns by the “atheist” James von Brunn (some term his name James van Brunn). The murder to George Tiller by the “Christian” Scott P. Roeder. The murder of William Long by the “Muslim”…

Some years ago I was very troubled, yet not surprised, by two articles published by the Jewish Bulletin of North California. One article is entitled, “Messianics use survivors in latest ads, enraging Jews” (4-27-01) the other, “Meditation deepens Judaism for Makor Or participants” (6-8-01). These two articles are a perfect (perfectly sad) example of the…

In my essay To Lie, or Not To Lie: That is the Question I pointed out that three atheists – Dan Barker, Matthew Davis and Reginald Finley – have, in lockstep, promulgated the same logical fallacy, one that originated with Dan Barker. In the writings of Sam Harris we find that he too offers support…

Ever the fan of emotive assertions, Dan Barker struck again during his Feb. 12th debate with Kyle Butt (reviewed here): A threat of violence, which is what Hell is; it’s a threat of eternal torture, any system of thought that has that thought in it, that scares the minds of children, who go to bed…
