    Healing testimonies

    Does anyone have any personal healing testimonies to share? This one is about my nephew from a couple of years ago. My nephew had suddenly become very ill and was vomiting. He was taken to the hospital by his roommate and admitted to the ICU. As it would turn out he was suffering from...

    Blood pressure

    In the late 19th century, it was believed that normal blood pressure was your age plus 100. It was observed that blood pressure increased with age due to the stiffening of the arteries, and it was just a normal part of aging. In the 1940s-1950, up to 160/100 was considered normal. In the 60s and...

    The twisted origins of gender theory

    Gender theory postulates that masculine and feminine characteristics and gender roles are merely a social construct of the culture in which we live. The reasoning then is that there is no difference between boys and girls, and we can change genders as easily as changing our clothes. Much of...

    Addressing the the ethical eating argument

    What is ethical eating? There is a segment among the vegetarian and vegan communities that contends that eating meat is morally wrong and eating vegetables is not only more ethical but more environmentally friendly as well. Not all vegetarians and vegans hold this view, of course, but those that...

    Did God threaten to do evil?

    Exo 32:11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? Exo 32:12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them...

    Rejecting God on the basis of evil and suffering

    I've been thinking about the argument some atheists have about not believing in God because of the existance of evil and suffering in the world. That argument has been addressed before, and there are many possible resolutions. But really, it's not a good argument for rejecting the existence of...

    Aliens & watchers & hybrids, oh my!

    This might be a little out there, even by unorthodox doctrine standards, but it's just something I've been musing over lately. There's a heavy dose of speculation involved, and I don't claim any of it to be emphatically true. It's more of a thought experiment than anything. I hold to the...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    The ancient Galilean wedding ceremony is the model for the rapture, specifically the pre-trib rapture. When the Scriptures are compared to the Galilean wedding ceremony, it explains the purpose of the rapture, why the church won’t go through the tribulation, and puts certain biblical passages...

    Rethinking the separation between church and state

    I've always viewed the notion of separation between church and state as negative. But upon further reading, I believe there are positive benefits to separating the two. The alternative is where one ruler is both over the state and the church, which was common in the Middle Ages. That led to the...

    Could atheism exist without theism?

    I would argue that it can't. Theism appears to be the default belief system of humanity. Every ancient civilization believed in God or gods. It wasn't until around 300 BC that we saw the beginnings of atheism from the Greek philosophers. Their debates about God's existence sounded remarkably...

    When was the Book of Daniel written?

    Liberal scholars date the Book of Daniel to around 170 BC, because it seems to detail the Maccabean Revolt (167–160 BC) so well. However, evidence would suggest a later date: *The Book of Daniel is mentioned in the Septuagint, which was written between 300 and 200 BC. *Jesus validates the Book...

    The two schools of medicine

    There are two main schools of medicine: the house of allopathy and the house of homeopathy. Allopathy is the cornerstone of western medicine. Its focus is on treating the symptoms of an illness, mainly through medication. This is where my criticism of modern medicine begins. Medication is used...

    Did Goliath suffer from health problems?

    Author Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book in 2015 entitled "David and Goliath" that deals with the biblical story of the same name. It presents an alternate view that portrays David not as a weak underdog but as a mighty warrior, and Goliath not as the strong giant but as a sickly man. In Gladwell's...

    Jesus is not a translation of Zeus

    There is an argument that the name Jesus is a pagan corruption of the name Zeus because they sound phonically similar, but there are a few problems with that theory: 1. There is an etymological explanation of how the name Jesus came to be that has nothing to do with Zeus. The modern name...

    Responding to Someone Who WANTS to Go to Hell

    How would you respond to this woman? Her argument is this: She belives the world popped into existince (i.e., an eternal universe). While we would attribute the creation of the universe to God, she thinks that is just creating a middle-man since it doesn't answer who created God. And if can God...

    Could God forgive Satan?

    So, I came across a YouTube video that attempts to answer this question. It goes on to say that Satan sinned in eternity, and in eternity, there is no past or future; only an eternal present. When God cast Satan out of heaven, his decision was final and irrevocable. So even if Satan had asked...

    Looking for a new home

    Hello all. I used post at another forum for many years until it was finally shut down. I've been looking for a new home ever since. I thought I would try this forum out to see if it's a good fit.
