Book Review of Worlds in Collision — by Michael J. Findley

"I came upon the idea that traditions and legends and memories of generic origin can be treated in the same way in which we treat in psychoanalysis the early memories of a single individual. I spent ten years on this work. I found that the collective memory of mankind spoke of a series of global … Continue reading Book Review of Worlds in Collision — by Michael J. Findley

Ages In Chaos — Review by Michael J. Findley

This brief review of Ages In Chaos includes very few of the sources Velikovsky cites. Considerably more documentation for each point is available in the out of print book Ages In Chaos. Immanuel Velikovsky is a secular humanist materialist who says in the first chapter of his book, “The biblical story of the last plague … Continue reading Ages In Chaos — Review by Michael J.

Snippet from My NaNoWriMo project — The Assembly

Friday, Principal Bradley arranged a special assembly to have Remmy and Sophia talk about their archaeological finds and some of their experiences abroad. Remmy walked all around the auditorium, alternately terrifying kids and getting them spluttering with laughter. He had so many stories and so many weird artifacts. He showed them  a full five scroll … Continue reading Snippet from My NaNoWriMo project — The Assembly

Billy Graham: “The Jehoshaphat of our Generation”

24 November 2011 Source http://www.billygraham.org Wikimedia Commons Public Domain I read a book by this title about forty years ago and it is still the best description of Billy Graham. The problem is that Christians know so little of the Word of God that name Jehoshaphat does not mean anything to them. Jehoshaphat became King … Continue reading Billy Graham: “The Jehoshaphat of our Generation”

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?

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?

The Death of Science Part 5 — The Double Standard

Secular Humanism boldly proclaims that the events recorded in the Bible are not historic. But using those same standards, neither were Plato, Socrates, Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Sun Tzu or most historic people or events. The oldest surviving manuscript of Plato’s documents dates to 895 AD. The Codex Oxoniensis Clarkianus 39 was copied more … Continue reading The Death of Science Part 5 — The Double Standard

The Death of Science Part 3: Reality Requires Religion

Almost every American colony had some form of establishment of religion. This was because their religion consisted of proven and necessary facts of existence. Religion was reliable, logical and rational to them. The modern established religion of Secular Humanism teaches that it is the only scientifically-based belief system in existence. It claims that all other … Continue reading The Death of Science Part 3: Reality Requires Religion

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?

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
