I've been thinking about the curses that were bestowed on humanity after the fall. Death and sickness are the most obvious ones. But I think there is another one that isn't so obvious: ignorance. Think about it. So many people today believe things that just aren't true. So many conflicts and...

I see this motto a lot on social media. It's used to express support for Palestinian self-determination and opposition to Israeli occupation or control over Palestinian territories, but it ignores history. There's been a very long history of rejecting Palestinian self-determination, and not by...

This is kind of a trivial musing, but I was thinking about how amazing the invention of the TV is. We take it for granted today, but to someone who lived thousands or even hundreds of years ago, it would seemed like magic. Just think about it, we are able to capture echoes of the past. I recall...

My father's birthday is this week, he'll be 86. He's always been pretty healthy. Even in his 70s, he was still pretty active and going to the gym. But in the last few years, his health has declined rapidly. It's more than apparent that his time here on earth is short. This is a difficult thing...

President Trump calls Don Jr. during event in Greenland to tell the people why it should become part of America “I Think it is a Great Idea. 51st State!!!” – President Trump Continues Calls for Annexation of Canada I'm not sure what Trump's gameplan is here with Greenland and Canada. Perhaps...

I learned some interesting things that were quite thought provoking. Did you know that physical objects are not actually solid? If you go down to the molecular level, everything is composed of atoms. Each atom has a nucleus, containing protons and neutrons. If you had an atom the size of a...

Israel is often compared in the Bible to the unfaithful wife who cheats on her husband, in their case, God. However, another comparison can be made in the parable of the prodigal son (Luk 15:11-32). In the parable, a man had two sons. The younger son took his inherence, traveled to a faraway...

I've heard an argument this morning by a YouTuber that Romans 13:1–7 is not about obeying government authorities, and a lot of it seems dependent on which translation one is reading. For instance, many translations say "governing authrorities," while other translations, like the KJV, use the...

To perface, I'm not referring to Christians who have gotten tattoos before becoming Christians, but Christians getting them after they've been saved. I'm going to err on the side of Christians not getting tattoos, and I'll explain why. As always, I will defer to the Bible, which admittedly...

Does anyone have any personal healing testimonies to share? This one is about my nephew from a couple of years ago. My nephew had suddenly become very ill and was vomiting. He was taken to the hospital by his roommate and admitted to the ICU. As it would turn out he was suffering from...

In the late 19th century, it was believed that normal blood pressure was your age plus 100. It was observed that blood pressure increased with age due to the stiffening of the arteries, and it was just a normal part of aging. In the 1940s-1950, up to 160/100 was considered normal. In the 60s and...

Gender theory postulates that masculine and feminine characteristics and gender roles are merely a social construct of the culture in which we live. The reasoning then is that there is no difference between boys and girls, and we can change genders as easily as changing our clothes. Much of...

What is ethical eating? There is a segment among the vegetarian and vegan communities that contends that eating meat is morally wrong and eating vegetables is not only more ethical but more environmentally friendly as well. Not all vegetarians and vegans hold this view, of course, but those that...

Exo 32:11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? Exo 32:12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them...

I've been thinking about the argument some atheists have about not believing in God because of the existance of evil and suffering in the world. That argument has been addressed before, and there are many possible resolutions. But really, it's not a good argument for rejecting the existence of...

This might be a little out there, even by unorthodox doctrine standards, but it's just something I've been musing over lately. There's a heavy dose of speculation involved, and I don't claim any of it to be emphatically true. It's more of a thought experiment than anything. I hold to the...

The ancient Galilean wedding ceremony is the model for the rapture, specifically the pre-trib rapture. When the Scriptures are compared to the Galilean wedding ceremony, it explains the purpose of the rapture, why the church won’t go through the tribulation, and puts certain biblical passages...

I've always viewed the notion of separation between church and state as negative. But upon further reading, I believe there are positive benefits to separating the two. The alternative is where one ruler is both over the state and the church, which was common in the Middle Ages. That led to the...
