We live in a world with three spatial dimensions (length, width, height) and one dimension of time. The concept of extra dimensions is not fantasy but science. For string theory to work, there have to be 10 or 11 dimensions. One theory is those dimensions are so small that they are impossible...

How did we get here? There are really only two possibilities. Either we were created, or we evolved. That's it. There is no third possibility (at least none with any credibility). So, let's focus on a few of the problems of evolution. This is far from an exhaustive list; it is merely eight...

There are those denominations who contend that Christians adopted the concept of the immortal soul from the Greeks. Ironically, they have no problems with adopting the use of allegory, which originates from Greek thought. There are many verses I could use to challenge such a position, but for...

Let me just say, as an American, I hate dealing with health insurance. The whole thing is a complicated, bloated mess that causes nothing but headaches and problems. Once health insurance was introduced, it caused prices to skyrocket because if hospitals know insurance is going to pay the...

The existence of hell is a concept that some find difficult or unwilling to grasp. They are unable to reconcile the seeming paradox of such a place existing alongside a loving God who wants the best for us. Alternate explanations have existed to explain it away. However, I believe that not only...

Ever since the October 7th massacre that killed 1,200 people in Israel, mostly civilians, there has been a marked increase in online anti-Israel rhetoric. No longer is such rhetoric relegated to the left, but it has infected the right side of the isle as well. It has now become fashionable to...

There's no way this was a coincidence. These are the types of people Israel is dealing with. The problem isn't just Hamas, it's the people. They elected Hamas in the first place. There's a reason why their Arab neighbors don't want them or why Egypt built a border wall between them and Gaza...

In another thread, I proposed the idea that everything in heaven is made up of light—the people, the grass, the buildings, everything. At its core, light is basically energy in motion. In our physical world, light acts as a wave. But at the quantum level, light can also act as a particle...

Science has no idea where consciousness resides, just theories. Some think it stems from complex brain activity. Yet, near-death experiences (NDEs) would seem to refute that. In some accounts, NDEs were able to recount what was happening around them when they should have been unconscious or...

This isn't a topic I'm familiar with, but I've seen it brought up elsewhere. There seem to be some similarities between what the Essenes believed and what Christians came to believe. Water baptism, for instance, isn't found in the Old Testament, but the Essenes practiced a form of it. So, was...

The "newness" of the rapture is brought up a lot, especially in regard to the pre-trib rapture. The rapture debate is a fairly recent development in Christian history. The primary eschatological focus of the early church was on Christ’s imminent return, whether the millennial reign of Christ was...

I've been thinking about the curses that were bestowed on humanity after the fall. Death and sickness are the most obvious ones. But I think there is another one that isn't so obvious: ignorance. Think about it. So many people today believe things that just aren't true. So many conflicts and...

I see this motto a lot on social media. It's used to express support for Palestinian self-determination and opposition to Israeli occupation or control over Palestinian territories, but it ignores history. There's been a very long history of rejecting Palestinian self-determination, and not by...

This is kind of a trivial musing, but I was thinking about how amazing the invention of the TV is. We take it for granted today, but to someone who lived thousands or even hundreds of years ago, it would seemed like magic. Just think about it, we are able to capture echoes of the past. I recall...

My father's birthday is this week, he'll be 86. He's always been pretty healthy. Even in his 70s, he was still pretty active and going to the gym. But in the last few years, his health has declined rapidly. It's more than apparent that his time here on earth is short. This is a difficult thing...

President Trump calls Don Jr. during event in Greenland to tell the people why it should become part of America “I Think it is a Great Idea. 51st State!!!” – President Trump Continues Calls for Annexation of Canada I'm not sure what Trump's gameplan is here with Greenland and Canada. Perhaps...

I learned some interesting things that were quite thought provoking. Did you know that physical objects are not actually solid? If you go down to the molecular level, everything is composed of atoms. Each atom has a nucleus, containing protons and neutrons. If you had an atom the size of a...

Israel is often compared in the Bible to the unfaithful wife who cheats on her husband, in their case, God. However, another comparison can be made in the parable of the prodigal son (Luk 15:11-32). In the parable, a man had two sons. The younger son took his inherence, traveled to a faraway...

I've heard an argument this morning by a YouTuber that Romans 13:1–7 is not about obeying government authorities, and a lot of it seems dependent on which translation one is reading. For instance, many translations say "governing authrorities," while other translations, like the KJV, use the...

To perface, I'm not referring to Christians who have gotten tattoos before becoming Christians, but Christians getting them after they've been saved. I'm going to err on the side of Christians not getting tattoos, and I'll explain why. As always, I will defer to the Bible, which admittedly...
