This is a perfect example of EISEGESIS - of putting one's DOGMA ahead of scriptural intent and interpretation. It's also a good example of HISTORIC REVISIONISM - of changing the record of history to suit religious propaganda. He (anti-Christ) will speak against the Most High and oppress his...

Is 'tradition' a dirty word? It is when it is used as a substitute for God's will as revealed in His LAW. When you write of tradition, specifically church tradition, as being an entity (it isn't) that is preexistent and derived from itself you write in terms of the ancient gnostics. Gnostics...

Neither can withstand a Tactical Nuclear strike. Have we forgotten that Mr. Putin has threatened the use of this battlefield weapon? Instead we bury our collective heads in the sand of pride and tell ourselves this cannot happen. Indeed it can. Putin has his back against the wall and such a...

Most post-modern churches have a BIG problem with the LAW, mostly because they absolutely refuse to understand it - to learn about it - or to live it. Instead they define their own laws - their own interpretation of God's LAW. This is called tradition. (*) They end up dying because of it. (1...

It's quite true that any kid who's adept at computer war games could defeat Putin or Hitler. Unfortunately, those kids aren't in charge of the German or Russian government. Wise people seldom enter politics. It's been said that if a man wants to go crazy he should move to Washington, DC where...

Your assessment is inaccurate both in terms of actual events and historic precedent. I like the graphic, though. It's pretty. On the other hand, I feel I must compliment your effort. It's logical as far as your limited data allows and attempts to present your position in dispassionate...

The question of national sovereignty is ambiguous in terms of modern international politics. Addressing such a situation can only be accurately accomplished in terms of history - certainly not the vagaries of TV news and the rabid rhetoric of social media. The term vassal state applies to ANY...

Your criticism of Jesus' words recorded in Mark 7:1-13 is noted. We must remember Jesus IS A JEW. In all of the gospels Jesus is speaking to Jews. Each and every one of them were well aware of Talmudic legal requirements(traditions and works) and each of them were well aware of Torah...

Americans do NOT understand what is happening in Ukraine - or why. Americans do NOT understand history and do NOT understand international politics. Consequently foolish statements like the one quoted above inhabit the rhetoric of our citizens. We believe social media and flashing images on TV...

This is a convoluted and confusing statement about "what men want". The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? (Jeremiah 17:9) What men want is justification for SIN, denial of responsibility for it and a way to salve a guilty conscience for doing it...

There is one MAJOR problem with Christian expectations of the future; sequence. Many theories exist with regard to the future of the church, of Jerusalem, of the world and of one's personal life as its end approaches. Most of these theories are based on imaginary ideas born of secular pagan...

No. I don't. CL

Thank you for your generous appraisal of my post. Your post would also be of benefit to those who wish to expand their understanding of the source and development of Holy Writ. Unfortunately I choose to restrict my own discussions regarding the oral tradition. Most American church types...

Depending upon the quality of one's onLine search engine, less than a dozen references to the word 'LAW' are listed in the book of Romans. I use YOUNG'S ANALYTICAL CONCORDANCE (hardcover printed version), which lists 67 verses referring to the LAW in Romans alone. For instance; "Those who do...

Read Genesis 3. The first lie of satan claims God lied when He said SIN would result in DEATH. Is the LAW of God invalid? It is not. Matthew 15:17 quotes Jesus saying, "I did NOT come to abolish the LAW. I came to fulfill it." Fulfillment of the LAW makes it perfect. It does not...

What is 'knowing for ourselves'? God has shown us what His will is. It is written in His LAW. The Holy LAW of God is not open to human opinion or 'knowing' apart from actually reading it in scripture. One cannot 'know' apart from hearing or reading the LAW. that's me, hollering from the...

Your post is really off the rails. Jesus DID NOT predict the sabbath would be kept by Christians until His return. IN FACTJesus never used the word Christian at all. JESUS IS A JEW. (King of Jews in fact - NOT pope or bishop of a church or head of a church. Jesus is the one and only...

ALL OF US are affected by SIN. All of us need to repent, but the preacher - or anyone who knows better - is required to warn others of the consequences of SIN - DEATH. "But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned, and the sword come, and take...

I wish to further refine your remarks above.... The book of the prophet Daniel uses human-animal hybrids in a textual form to illustrate complex social and political structures. The use of human-animal hybrids is repeated in the book of Revelation. For the sake of clarity these hybrids are...
