- I've oftentimes wished there were a toll-free phone number people could call heaven for tech support with these kinds of questions so we could silence the flap of all the self-made armchair theologians. Some of these so-called discussions are little more than perpetual bull sessions that never...

- The numbers become even more intriguing when we estimate the possible number of dead from Thanksgiving who went to hell. According to 2009 US Census data; roughly 27.3% of America's daily deaths are under the age of 19. So if we give those youngsters the benefit of the doubt we can subtract...

- †. Gen 1:1 . . In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. One need not begin with the idea that the Scripture is the infallible, and inerrant source of revelation in order to easily, and clearly, see for themselves that the Bible says God created the heavens and the earth because...
