On the positive side, Mormons do tend to have high moral standards and promote such lifestyles. They aren't promoting debauchery or moral turpitude. And indeed there are huge benefits of having a cohesive population with high moral standards. It's worked for thousands of years to the...

I'm explaining my personal experience with living in and among LDS for over a decade including teen years and young adult. Also seeing the headlines in the newspaper. Granted, some of this stuff probably comes from offshoot denominations of the main LDS church but it's not like I was into...

Yeah....well they have those Palestinians entrenched there. Every other Arab nation has tossed them out and they (along with Iran) have been responsible for all the unrest in that part of the world. And that trouble has spread to the Houthis in Yemen currently as well as other places. It's...

LDS used to practice asceticism..... Drinks like tea or coffee and Coca-Cola were verboten. Same with alcoholic beverages as well. But then a huge number of members owned a bottling plant so sodas became accepted....then tea....and now coffee. Not supposed to have Irish coffee. Not one...

Cattle are carbon neutral. Sorry....big study just released a report on this. PETA People Eating Tasty Animals. But it's usually this same crowd who also champions abortions as well....total hypocrisy. The women accidentally get knocked up during one of their sit-ins or rallies and then...

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...

Israel has had peace....it currently doesn't. It's an annoying place to visit for a variety of reasons but crime is not one of them. It's citizens are extremely annoying....but if you can overlook them and their money grubbing ways...then it's a nice vacation albeit more expensive than most...

Yeah....most people know Nazareth but Sepphoris is virtually unknown in the pews of churches worldwide. The distance is not 4 miles...more like 3 kilometers. There was a road directly from Nazareth to Sepphoris and it's believed by most that this city (always having construction projects) was...

Actually the title is a work in progress. The study trio is meant to be easily consumable. It is not supposed to dumb things down or talk down to people. But it explains how to vet resources by looking at publishers and researchers and authors. Researching those people briefly and...

A library of resources that I have accumulated over the years. Some are electronic books and some are regular tree killing books.

Writers write because readers read, singers sing and musicians play... Chefs cook Artists paint Runners run God gave gifts that we enjoy using. It's never a bad thing.

Yes it's correct to a certain extent. What it doesn't address is the size of Nazareth or the attitudes of its residents or of others about its inhabitants. And this resource likely will not discuss its relationship to Sepohiris (major city) . Nazareth to this day is a "blink city". Not...

Actually I'm writing a lesson plan on how to go about the process of hermeneutics. Three in total. One is the book, one is lesson plan, and one is student guide. One chapter is dedicated to relying upon what we have in modern translations as being accurate. How and why we have translational...

Hopefully I'm correct....we haven't sent the book off to the publishers yet. And I recently have restudied this just to write this out not a week ago. It's at the editor's desk now. The thing I read was that Jerome wanted to completely retranslate the Old Testament into a new Latin version...

And when viewed in a particular way.... We can see that God himself has stopped us from destroying ourselves all this time. He purposefully has caused delay after delay to stop us from destroying ourselves. The ONLY hope we have is that God will cause yet another delay and He is not weary of...

Quite honestly this has played out over and over again. The whole Tagumim/Hebrew vs Septuagint debate got Stephen Killed. Separated Paul and Barnabus over who was "right". Barnabas went home and missed out. Uggghhhh. So close yet missed the opportunity. Jerome vs Augustine in "received...

And you are still missing the point. We are so doomed. Ears to hear and eyes that see are in Short ssupply. Always have been...but we would think it's different today. And unfortunately it is...and not in a good direction. Cancel Culture is chosen over admitting the possibility of being...

And this discussion proves that people will literally do whatever mental gymnastics necessary to prove popular opinion over verifiable facts. Nevermind the written records, nevermind the rocks, nevermind the city's ruins, and nevermind the truth....they will stick with an error regardless of...

You are talking about cedar beams. Cedar beams were used to create roofs. They did not have sawmills. Metal products were exorbitantly expensive. They were not going to ship in wood from far off places just to build. They would use the vast amounts of available stone to build with just as...

Vetting resources for authors, biases, and accuracy is necessary these days. Because with hype and propaganda people will buy anything. Not to be politically persuasive but the Harris campaign currently has yet to publish a platform. Her polling numbers are just slightly below Trump. Her...
