    Russian Television and Tenet Media

    This is some disgusting stuff. It has been a stalwart of Russian propaganda for a while. These Americans knew what they were doing and didn't care. They just wanted the money. https://x.com/RyanMcbeth/status/1831667763854578097

    Teffillim or Phylacteries.

    There are certain sections of Old Testament Law that stated these words are supposed to be bound to your head and arms....we take this as figurative language but Jews took to mean literally. So there are boxes that are used to do this with. Seen them used myself in my travels. Here is a...

    Populist Viewpoint vs Verified Facts

    Thinking caps are going to be required for this discussion. What popular opinions are different from verified facts? Let's give an example: Many people have an opinion that Jesus was a carpenter. However archeology and history both prove that a construction worker in the places that...

    Another Prophet Like Moses (Fathers Day)

    The Jews were told to watch out for "Another Prophet like Moses" which we know today was a reference to Jesus. So. How was Jesus and Moses similar other than being Jewish? And by critical analysis they led VERY different lives and lifestyles. Moses had two wives, was guilty of murdering an...

    Sepphoris, the Important Unheard City

    So... We hear tons about Jerusalem, Brthsaida, Chorazin, Capernaum, and even Nazareth (a nothing town to this day) But we hear nothing about Sepphoris...and it's importance. Sepphoris was where Joseph and his kids went to work every day. It was a huge Roman/Jewish city that Herod Antipas...

    Grilling Adventures

    It's that time of year.... When a man's heart leans toward lighting a fire and making smoke and of course MEAT and veggies covered in carcinogens to provide smokey goodness. Pork, chicken, and even beef with that mouth watering pink smoke ring and zesty marinades and caramelized glazes...

    Be Prepared To Be Wrong

    Happens to the best of us.... We are wrong on pertinent facts, show up at the wrong time, make a colossal error destroying materials and wasting time. If you have never made a mistake....you ain't doing anything and you really need to get to work. So....when it comes time for...

    To Live is Christ, To Die is Gain?

    What did Paul mean by this? How can a person hold this attitude? How does a person who holds this opinion live this sentiment out in daily life?

    Snowflake Babies...Are They Life?

    We, as Christians often take the stance that abortion is wrong and killing of the unborn. So.... Here's an unclear problem. Often when a couple is unable to have a normal pregnancy they resort to fertility treatments including using "test tube" babies. Where a fertilized egg...AKA an embryo...

    Doing Wrong With Good Intentions

    Has doing something you know is wrong to do resulted in something truly good as a result that you intended all along. There's a million ways this has been tried before.... IE causing some sort of catastrophe so that people will be more generous and kind?

    Epstein Files...the next Ashley Madison.

    The files are being dripped out to public domain.... And the reporters are having a field day with the names being released. They have tried to get Donald but come up empty. One very unreliable woman claims he was there but the rest refuse to corroborate her claims. In fact just the opposite...

    Legacy and Your Identity

    Everyone has some sort of family legacy for the most part... People from your ancestry that inspire you to form a portion of your personal identity. So my question is how much of it does formulate who you are as a person? If you have a bunch of career criminals in your family tree do you...

    Ok Matthew 27:64 & to the end of the chapter describes what Pilate said and why to the Chief Priests and Pharisees. The tomb had a set of guards of some kind (Roman or Temple) and a seal of some sort. Now I know that people envision a completely flat wall with a big circle stone in front...

    Are The Benefits of Social Media Platforms More than their Detractors?

    Dr. Jordan Peterson on the subject of Social Media.... I'm inclined to agree with him. Where I do like a lot of aspects of social media....the problems that have been created by it are literally earth shaking. And since it is not "All about Me"....I'm not sure if we weren't better off without...
