    A Gay Writer Who Forgot Almost Everything Jesus Wrote

    A Gay Writer Who Forgot Almost Everything Jesus Wrote The only instance in Christian scripture that Jesus actually wrote anything appears in the story of the woman caught in adultery where Jesus wrote something in the dust of the ground. Even that story is suspected to be a later addition to...

    Memorial Day

    What an unfortunate message. The bald eagle is a carrion bird that feasts on the freedom of others? Well, there is a certain level of truth in that.

    Baptism by Immersion

    On a very much lighter note, many years ago I attended a Fellowship Baptist church. They had a baptismal pool and when there was a baptism the pastor would retire to his office, take off his shoes, suit coat and pants and put on a pair of hip waders, come out and climb into the pool. One day he...

    Are babies sinners?

    I do not read the Genesis myth as a fall from an original state of perfection into sin and death. The first couple were completely innocent and naive creatures. They were certainly capable of making a mistake but, without knowing good from evil, they lacked even the ability to sin. That ability...

    The Coming Civil War Over Abortion

    If we wish to minimize the abortion rate, making it illegal is the wrong way to go about it. There are nations where abortion is totally illegal and carries severe penalties where the abortion rate is much higher than in nations where it is legal. The reason for this is that the two most potent...

    The Earth iks Small, Flat and Unmoving Says the Bible

    Modern or ancient, every culture operates within a certain cosmology or understanding of the universe. This cosmology sets the context of how a people understand their world and their place in it. With very few exceptions our modern day cosmology is shaped by the scientific discoveries of the...

    Hebrew-Jewish Bible proves the virgin birth of Jesus

    I have been a Christian for over 75 years and have studied the Bible and the relevant history for the past 30 to 40 years and I find myself drawing closer and closer to Judaism. I do not believe that Jesus was attempting to found a new religion. What he wanted was a complete reform of second...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    The accretion of legend, doctrine and dogma over the centuries reminds me of a parable I came across years ago. Parable: THE SPRING OF LIVING WATERS by Ira Progoff There was once a vast, rocky wilderness, void of all vegetation but the hardiest thorns and briars. Through the middle of the...

    Sex Ed to Kindergarten in Minnesota

    Sex education should start from a very early age and ideally by the parents. But the large majority of parents do not do this or do it poorly. There certainly are sexual problems in society and even in children of school age. As a high school teacher I have encountered a huge amount of sexual...

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ?

    Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. Yes, and I am convinced the Roman Catholic suggestion that they were Joseph's children by a previous marriage is...

    Are dinosaurs in the bible?

    That is correct but there are a number of mythical creatures mentioned in the Bible, like the unicorn and the dragon. In the case of the dragon it might be based on the alligator or the crocodile but there is also the possibility of being based on the discovery of fossilized dinosaur remains.
