I put up a reality check on my Facebook page about how Democrat Congressman Earl Blumenauer, was intimidating one of the Democrat’s witnesses who was testifying at the impeachment hearings by calling on Americans to “boycott Provenance properties—including six hotels in downtown Portland—until Sondland testified in a congressional impeachment inquiry.” Sondland said, “We have countless […]
What I Sent to a Reporter at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution about Transgender Bathrooms
This week I received an email from a reporter at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Here’s what she wrote: I’m a reporter with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I’m working on a story about transgender students pegged to the appeal of an 11th Circuit Court ruling that allows transgender students to use a bathroom not associated with their birth […]
Welcome to My World of Dealing with Bible Prophecy ‘Experts’
I don’t claim to be a Bible prophecy expert. All I claim to be is someone who has looked at Bible prophecy passages and compared them with other similar passages. I’ve done this for more than 40 years. One critic of a video I posted was critical of my comments claiming he had studied Bible […]
Pre-Wrath v. Dispensationalism: The ‘Rapture’ is a Package Deal
As I’ve mentioned in other places, there are five rapture positions. They depend on the belief that the 70th week (seven years) of Daniel’s seventy weeks of years prophecy (490 years) has been postponed. Those who hold to a pre-tribulation rapture position believe the rapture of the church will take place before the seven-year period. […]
The Bible and Judgment Comings
When the Bible uses the word “coming,” translated from the Greek words parousia (παρουσία) and erchomai (ἔρχομαι). The Greek word parousia (παρουσία) is more accurately translated as “presence” where it is used 24 times in the New Testament. Of these, six uses refer to the physical presence of individuals: Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus (1 Cor.16:17), Titus […]
Revolutionary War Silhouettes Cause Freakout
The English poet Steve Turner once observed, “History repeats itself. It has to. No one is listening.” I think this applies very well to American history. The average American today is grossly ignorant of our history and we fall prey too often to those cutting us off from that history—for whatever reason. Here is a […]
Ancient Child Sacrifice: The Legacy of Modern Abortion
I have recently done some research on child sacrifice in the Bible for the sake of a novel I am writing about Queen Jezebel and ancient Israel in the ninth-century B.C. Most readers of the Bible do not find it controversial that human sacrifice was performed in the ancient world and that it was prohibited […]
Hillary Clinton Compares the Trumps to King Ahab and Jezebel
Hillary Clinton is at it again. She claims to be a Christian and often quotes from the Bible. In June of 2018, she condemned “those who selectively use the Bible to justify” their political decisions, something she and her follow-Democrats do all the time. She claimed that the Bible is “the biggest influence” on her […]
Is There a Defense for Using Strong Language in an Argument?
Is harsh rhetoric a bad thing? Are there times when it’s OK to let loose with the truth in a way that disturbs some people? I have a saying: “Don’t give anyone a reason to reject your position other than the position itself.” But sometimes reasoned arguments aren’t enough. Often, some people are dismissive of […]
The Consequences of Darwin’s Dangerous Idea
Are some people insane or just becoming more consistent? Every day there is a new story of some whacky group protesting some corporate indiscretion like the use of plastic straws and plastic eating utensils. I can assure you that there are more troubling issues to confront. What’s going on? What’s the root of the problem? […]
New Publishing Project on Apologetics in Production and Much More
Since being back at American Vision, we have produced a lot of new material with more to come. The one I’m most excited about is the publication of 22 lectures that Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen gave at American Vision’s Life Preparation Conferences. I listened to them again while driving. They are some of the best […]
Was Thomas Paine the True Founder of the United States?
One of the kookier historical claims that prevails among anti-Christian groups is that our Founding Fathers were Deists and Thomas Paine was America’s true founder. Deism is a philosophical belief system that claims that God exists but is not involved in the world. While God created all things and set the universe in motion like […]
