    What Christ said about sexual sin

    Let me start with a request. Please read the entire long diatribe before assuming the jest of it. I will start with and come back to the main point so please read with that in mind. Let's begin with what it's not about and that is homosexuality. Christ actually never spoke specifically about...

    False or misleading comments from the pulpit

    If there's one thing that really bothers me more than lies and misleading statements from politicians it's when those statements are made by preachers. It's almost summer and that reminds me of one in particular that is repeated nearly every July 4th since it appeared in a tweet from Pastor Rick...

    The only "rich" man who Christ said received salvation

    In Luke 19:1-10 we read the story of Zacchaeus, the only "rich" man who Christ ever said received salvation. In the KJV it reads; 1And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3And he...

    Why did Christ drive the sellers and moneychangers from the temple and what can we learn from it?

    A story of Christ "cleansing the temple" is found in all four of the Gospels. Matthew 21:12-17 Mark 11:15-19 Luke 19:45-48 and John 2:12-25 There has always been some debate about whether there was one incident or two. This is mainly due to differences from the conical Gospels and John's...

    You can tell a lot about a person by the books they read

    You can tell a lot about a person by the books they read is a paraphrase of a quote from Joseph Patrick Pascale. (He said "the books they carry"). So, I want to look at the books our leaders are or have been known to read or promote. Let's start at the top, with President Donald Trump. First, I...

    Here comes Peter Cottontail! Happy Easter! (Warning; long post)

    It's that time of year again. Every child looks forward to Easter and the fun activities associated with it such as hunting Easter Eggs and gorging on pure sugar until they get a bellyache, all to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. So, where did all the trappings of Easter come from? Why do...

    In the runup to the 2020 election, a small right wing news organization called the Epoch Times saw an opportunity and seized it. They directed millions of dollars in advertising toward supporting the Trump campaign and published dozens of articles in it's newspaper parroting almost every Trump...

    Did Paul urge us to study the Apocrypha?

    In 2 Timothy 3:15-17, Paul says to Timothy; "15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for...

    Eternal Security: What do you think?

    I'd like to hear some opinions on the idea of "Eternal Security". I'm familiar with it from a Baptist and Methodist point of view but I know there are lots of varying beliefs on the subject. I am familiar with some of the verses that are the cornerstone for the basic idea, such as John 3:16...

    Back from hiatus

    I engaged in discussions here for awhile last year and have taken a break. Now I'm back with a second wind and a renewed spirit. I am a non-affiliated Christian with unconventional beliefs. This time I thought I'd summarize those beliefs in this introduction. My core belief is simple. First, I...

    The Biden Impeachment inquiry. A dangerous precedent?

    The Congress recently voted (along party lines, of course) to open an official impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. I know that this post is in the politics category but I don't wish to make it a partisan political discussion but rather a constitutional one about the process itself. It should...

    Lies from the pulpit-is there ever a justification

    Over the centuries, things have been stated by the church and it's leaders based on ignorance that were later proven to be false. I'm not taking about those instances but of things that are totally fabricated by someone who either knew better or could have known better with just a little...
