FYI: I just finished posting a series considering one of many talking point scare quotes that are oft employed against Bible believers. Ezekiel 9:6 states, “Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children.” For pseudo-skeptical-atheists a fragment of a verse is always enough information upon which to rain down condemnation.…

Heavenly BlissThe Qur’an itself is not very descriptive of heaven or paradise. The two statements about what it is actually like are as follows:Surah 88:10-16, In a lofty Paradise.Where they shall neither hear harmful speech nor falsehood,Therein will be a running spring,Therein will be thrones raised high,And cups set at hand.And cushions set in rows,…

Here Sam Harris, apparently and in his own mind, proves that atheism most certainly does have a basis for morality “moral intuitions that are (at some level) hard-wired in us and that have been refined by thousands of years of thinking about the causes and possibilities of human happiness.” Elsewhere, Sam Harris makes reference to…

Herein we consider info on Cherubim, Seraphim and Dragon (within a Satanic context) in Athanasius of Alexandria (296-373 AD). The fuller complete result consists of quotations of those sections within the text that refer to Angels, Cherubim, Seraphim, Devil, Satan, demons, serpent and dragon. The point is not to elucidate these references but to provide…

When I pull up an article on giants I never know if it will be the good, the bad or the ugly. Enter the post Giant Humans on Earth, March 30, 2016 AD by the Interesting Theories site which self-describes as “a Science and Spiritual News Website to help evolve our civilization and help save…

This is about Thomas Lessing and Deborah Du Rand’s website Discerning the World and pastor Anton Bosch as it was to him that their turned for info on the Nephilim. Thus, their combined effort lead to the post The Nephilim – The Truth about the Sons of God, the Daughters of Men. Overall it is…

Along with #fakenews (and #pizzagate) one of the fastest spreading memes of recent times is “post-truth.” A search on February 13, 2017 AD resulted in 34,2000,000 hits on Google. The Oxford University’s “Oxford Living Dictionary” actually awarded “post-truth” as the word of the year for 2016 AD. Now, I am unsure of who coined the…

“Nonbelievers may take special pleasure in making assertions that explicitly negate religious doctrine” It must be refreshing when you can be introduced as “Neuroscientist” and not as “The militant-activist-Buddhist-mystic-atheist.” Such is the nomenclature which Sam Harris has traversed. Yet, one must wonder if a change in label equals a change in substance. The Neural Correlates…

From Peter Pett’s (1610-1672 AD) Commentary on the Bible. Considering that Pett wrote in the 1600s AD it is nice to see that he holds the ancient Angel view of the Genesis 6 affair since as time went by pop-opinion shifted from the traditional Angel view to the Sethite view or other similar views. Pett…

The Islamic Hadith of Fatima, chronicled by Muslim, tells of al-Jassah who is “a beast who was so hairy that they could not tell its front from its back” and those who saw al-Jassah “were afraid lest it be a devil.” When asked who/what he/it is, al-Jassah replies, “go to this man in the monastery.”…
