Confronting Cancel Culture

CC BY-SA 3.0 Gina Carano by Gage Skidmore Created: 11 July 2015 from Wikipedia For a long time I didn't really know how to begin to express my thoughts on this "new" phenomenon of Cancel Culture.

Gasp! A Book Review! Hannah’s Civil Pirate by Joanna Emerson — Post by Mary C. Findley

It's been a long time since I wrote a book review. I think I have a backlog. Since Amazon banned me from reviewing, I guess I've been sulking in a corner, thinking writing reviews anywhere else wouldn't matter. But you need to read this book. It's wonderful. My review is posted on Goodreads, but, since … Continue reading Gasp! A Book Review! Hannah’s Civil Pirate by Joanna Emerson — Post by Mary C. Findley

What Is the Best Way to Learn What Your Opponent Believes? — post by Michael J. Findley

In answer to a Quora question: What's the best way to learn the opposing side's arguments when it comes to politics? What is best varies from person to person. I read Plato’s Republic, then acquired an audio version to listen to it many times. Rather than the Communist Manifesto, Plato is the real foundation of the left. … Continue reading What Is the Best Way to Learn What Your Opponent Believes? — post by Michael J. Findley

The Beginning of the Gospel — Post by Michael J. Findley

This is the record of the life of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Matthew 1:1 The Jews knew the Law, the Old Testament, and understood the Messiah. This introduction to the first gospel ever written, just a few years after the resurrection of the Messiah, was either a declaration … Continue reading The Beginning of the Gospel — Post by Michael J.

Music In The Early Church — post by Michael J. Findley

Jesus and the disciples attended Jewish synagogues and temple worship. These services included stringed, brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. The book of Psalms was the hymn book of the second temple. After finishing the Passover meal they sang a hymn, presumably not a Psalm, and presumably without instruments, before walking across the Kidron Valley to … Continue reading Music In The Early Church — post by Michael J.

Excerpt from Under the Sun: A Traditional View of Ancient History

After the flood, the most rapid, massive cultural change on record is the Exodus. The time of the Exodus was a dramatic change for every culture on earth that we know about. Thousands of years before the label “Second Intermediate Period” existed, Jews, then Christians, then Muslims, understood that the Exodus was the destruction of … Continue reading Excerpt from Under the Sun: A Traditional View of Ancient History

What Is Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World? — Post by Michael J. Findley

Aldous Huxley called his Brave New World, "The nightmare of total organization ..."

Isaiah Chapter Two — Post by Mary C. Findley

What are “the last days?” According to many Bible teachers, they are the time when the Lord has returned to govern the earth. Some people think they want to go to Heaven and be with God forever. Some think we never actually go there, but will live forever on earth. The beginning of this chapter … Continue reading Isaiah Chapter Two — Post by Mary C. Findley

How God Preserved His Word History 1

A dozen times the New Testament refers to the Old Testament as the Law and the Prophets. In Luke 24:44 Jesus said “the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms.” Yet most of the Hebrew Old Testament, Joshua through Esther in the English arrangement, are primarily historical. They are quoted in … Continue reading How God Preserved His Word History 1

Actual Dates and 14C Dates — Michael J. Findley

Please forgive the oversimplification. But radiocarbon dating, like all radiometric dating, begins with assumptions (beliefs, paradigm) and uses those beliefs as proofs of dates. Science is the accurate examination of the evidence. The evidence of radiocarbon in the remains of organism which were once alive does not produce a date. It produces a 14C:12C ratio. … Continue reading Actual Dates and 14C Dates — Michael J. Findley

How God Preserved His Word For Us: Torah — post by Michael J. Findley

The Torah for modern readers is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Some arrangements in the past have included Joshua, but that has not been the case for centuries for English readers. We believe that the Law itself was given by the LORD God on Sinai. God could have added to and edited information Moses … Continue reading How God Preserved His Word For Us: Torah — post by Michael J. Findley

Some very godly men might disagree in a few points of this traditional view. Martin Luther certainly did on the book of James.

What Is The Gospel? Part Two: The Gospel According to Jesus

Then Jesus returned to Galilee by the power of the Spirit. Meanwhile, the news about him spread throughout the surrounding country.

The Historical Context of Jonah

Nimrod built Nineveh very soon after the flood. It was part of his kingdom to rebel against God. [Nimrod’s] kingdom began in the region of Shinar with the cities of Babylon, Eriech, Akkad, and Calneh. From there he went north to Assyria and built Nineveh, Rehoboth-ir, and Calah, along with Resen, which was located between … Continue reading The Historical Context of Jonah

The dissertation on Revelation by Dr. Charles Smith, The Apocalypse by Joseph Seiss (1865), or my Biblical Studies section on Revelation cover this in detail.
