When Is a Bible Translation Not the Word of God?

Thomas Jefferson, author of The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth My concern is the departure from the truths of God's Word. There are many paths away from God. The confusion caused by mistranslating His Word is only one. This blog is about only one heresy; Deliberately mistranslating the word of God. Poor translations are … Continue reading When Is a Bible Translation Not the Word of God?

Eyewitness Testimony: The Foundation and Basis of Reality

According to Wikipedia “Eyewitness testimony is the account a bystander gives in the courtroom, describing what they perceived happened during the specific incident under investigation. Ideally this recollection of events is detailed, however this is not always the case. This recollection is used as evidence to show what happened from a witness' point of view. … Continue reading Eyewitness Testimony: The Foundation and Basis of Reality

Who are you—mere man that you are—to talk back to God? Rom 9:20 ISV

I agree with Secular Humanists about one thing – the Bible stands or falls on its truth as a whole. They, however think it doesn’t hold together. In defending his book, Killing Jesus, Bill O’Reilly took exception to this position. He believes that the Bible is accurate in its depiction of the crucifixion but wrong … Continue reading Who are you—mere man that you are—to talk back to God? Rom 9:20 ISV

What English Translation of the Bible Do You Use?

Satan has gained an enormous advantage over Christians by the confusion created over the hundreds of different Bible translations. Though we wrote a blog on this subject What is a Pig Translation? that blog was about translation techniques or problems in translations. Every translation has to balance translation with education. By that we mean both … Continue reading What English Translation of the Bible Do You Use?

No Lone Rangers

Over twenty years ago we heard a sermon that God does not want lone ranger Christians. God established His Church and each and every believer is responsible to be part of His Church. It was based on a very principle of God’s Word. And let us continue to consider how to motivate one another to … Continue reading No Lone Rangers

In The Image of God

God created us with a body, soul and spirit. We also have an intellect, will and emotions.

The God of Love Created the World. Why Do Tragedies Happen?

Every few months the same story hits the national or world news. A family or a parent does everything right, but a child dies anyway. The child might be sitting properly fastened into a car seat and the car is hit while stopped at a light or stop sign. A home is completely childproof, the … Continue reading The God of Love Created the World. Why Do Tragedies Happen?

How Did We Get The Old Testament?

While there are numerous detailed answers, this is a brief, simple overview. 1) Moses wrote of what he learned as an Egyptian. And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in … Continue reading How Did We Get The Old Testament?

But I Don’t Have a Belief System!

My memory isn’t what it should be, but I do not remember anyone saying that he/she did not have a belief system until about 2 years ago. Almost daily now I seem to hear someone say that.Anyone who claims that they do not have a belief system is either uneducated or dishonest.

The Love of God

The Love of God By Frederick M.

‘Whom are you like in your greatness? ‘Behold, Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon With beautiful branches and forest shade, And very high, And its top was among the clouds.

Let God Be True, and Every Man a Liar — Post by Michael J. Findley

We live in an age where man is not only the measure, but men sit in judgment on God. People think that God just doesn’t measure up to their standard of right and wrong, so of course their progressing, evolving standards judge God. While this attitude is nothing new, and goes back at least as … Continue reading Let God Be True, and Every Man a Liar — Post by Michael J. Findley

Why I Write Steampunk … A Part Two of Sorts … Author post by Sophronia Belle Lyon

We were reading in Jeremiah this morning, and I ran across these verses. It made me think of how we fail the Lord sometimes ... Get distracted and fall away from wholehearted service, or become rebellious and stubborn. The Lord invites us to return, and His forgiveness will restore us to "stand before him", like … Continue reading Why I Write Steampunk … A Part Two of Sorts … Author post by Sophronia Belle Lyon

What in the World Is Steampunk and Why Would a Christian Write About It? FFVP Author post by Sophronia Belle Lyon

  I don't know why it's become popular to attach "punk" to music, fashion, and literary genre, but it is what it is.  Steampunk can find expression in all these outlets, but many people say it originated in fashion or clothing. It's a style that draws on the Victorian time period, including  top hats, cravats, … Continue reading What in the World Is Steampunk and Why Would a Christian Write About It?
