Re: What/Who causes natural disasters?
If humans hadn't sinned there would be no disasters, natural or otherwise. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free...

The lost ark
When God told Moses how to make the ark of the covenant he included this command. You shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. And you shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry the ark by them. The poles shall remain in the rings of the ark; they shall no...

Re: So . . . . Trump won
Theophilus, Do you make a habit of taking OT scripture, and just applying it to all Christians? I believe 2 Timothy 3:16,17: All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equippe...

Re: So . . . . Trump won
We blame presidents doing a bad job, and political problems on Christians who don't pray for leaders "as they should"? It has nothing to do with politicians making bad choices, just Christians not praying? That's asinine, and unbiblical. There's nothing in scripture that says the US has p...

Re: So . . . . Trump won
The Bible commands us to pray for the leaders of our country. Whether Trump turns out to be good or bad will depend on how faithful Christians are in obeying this command. I hope you're not serious. I am serious. I suspect that many of the political problems we have had in the past came about becau...

Fire breathing dragons and bombardier beetles
Most people believe dinosaurs became extinct before any humans existed, but many cultures have legends of creatures called dragons that closely resemble dinosaurs. This fact indicates that the extinction of dinosaurs must be very recent. (There are some who believe that there are still living dinosa...

Re: The Science Behind GLOBAL Flood Claims Examined
If the flood wasn't worldwide Noah wouldn't have needed to build an ark. He could simply have moved away from the area that was to be flooded. The article asks this question, "Does Earth have enough water to cover the whole planet?" If the surface of the earth were flatter the answer would...

Re: Women as priests?
Here is what the Bible says about priesthood. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9 ESV) According to this all believers, men a...

Crossing the Kidron
John’s gospel records what Jesus taught his disciples at the Last Supper. After he finished he and his disciples left and went to the garden where he would be arrested. When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and h...

Re: Is the Electoral College Method Fair?
The electoral college could be simplified by assigning one electoral vote to each congressional district and giving it to the person who had the most votes in that district. In theory direct election would be better unless the vote were close enough to require a recount. We all remember what happene...

Molech
The Israelites were often tempted to worship the gods of the Canaanites and the surrounding nations. One of those gods was called Molech or Moloch. He required that his worshipers sacrifice their children to him. Here is what Wikipedia says about him. Rabbinical tradition depicted Moloch as a bronze...

Re: The lesser of two evils
Someone wrote a letter to the Kansas City Star in which he said we should vote for Trump because he is certain to be impeached for something he says or does and that means Mike Pence will become President. I don't agree that Trump is likely to be impeached but he is right that in deciding who to vot...

The lesser of two evils
We are often faced with situations where we must choose between good and evil. In such situations it is easy for us to know what choice we must make even though it is often hard to actually make that choice. But there are times when we must choose between two alternatives which are both evil. We oft...
