Unrighteous Dominion
Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ve recently become aware of a theological error that enables unrighteous dominion in this life, and endangers the eternal salvation of millions of people. This error must be addressed. I only understood the danger fully after I compared Egyptian burial practices with Pictish cross slabs. It is strange that I didn’t see…

Iran is a Favored Nation
Reading Time: 2 minutesI’m just hearing the news that the United States has attacked nuclear sites in Iran. In addition, Germany is positioning itself to join the fray. Unfortunately for these evil-doers, nature is coming into her own and these nations are out of step with her. By comparison with them, Iran is a favored…

James 1:22-25
Reading Time: 3 minutes22. But be doers of the Word and not merely hearers of it, deluding yourselves,23. For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer of it, he is like a man observing the face of his mortal, physical birth (created being) in a mirror.24. For he observes himself,…

James 1:20
Reading Time: 3 minutes…for a man’s wrath (or “anger”) does not express in action the righteousness of God. (James 1:20) There was apparently a mistaken notion in James’s time that anger is sometimes valuable as an engine of righteousness. But according to the Jews, certain divine qualities, including anger, are forbidden to man. Thrice was…

James 1:19
Reading Time: 2 minutesWherefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. (James 1:19) The phrase “quick to hear,” refers to the “Word” of verse 18. The concept is also found in the Old Testament (Sir. 5:11). According to Adamson, verse 1:19 makes the moral logic of…

James 1:18
Reading Time: 3 minutesHe of his own wish begot us by the Word of truth, for us to be a kind of firstfruits of his creation. (James 1:18) Adamson says the beginning phrase, Of his own wish, is rather emphatic. He includes Hort’s suggestion that in the previous verse, James 1:17, the word ‘shadow’ was…

Trump Challenges God
Reading Time: 3 minutesA court has unsealed the affidavit that allowed the administration to raid Fulton County County’s election office. Legal experts are shocked. They cannot understand how any magistrate would allow it to go forward based on the information in this document. I agree. But while this is an interesting mystery, it’s not the…

The Holy Spirit is One
Reading Time: 3 minutesIn the article, Trump’s Use of Alligators, I said that I hadn’t previously talked about the importance of the alligator because I didn’t know where it fit in the Christian tradition. I only wrote about it at that time because I had received the message that it’s not Christian. This message assured…

Minnesota and Ancient Egypt
Reading Time: 3 minutesWhat does Minnesota have in common with ancient Egypt? Both countries have a great river at their center. They may also have a political connection thanks to the mythology of Freemasonry. Keeping this in mind, ICE’s extreme focus on Minnesota takes on an unwelcome significance. After reading my argument, some might decide…
