Shellfish, Pig Skins, and Mixed Fabrics

Shellfish, Pig Skins, and Mixed Fabrics

Matthew 7:1 (“Judge not…”) is the favorite NT verse of atheists and always taken out of its immediate context (see vv. 2-5 and John 7:24). Cherry picked passages from the Old Testament come in a close second. Chip Gaines judged Christians for judging their show’s normalization of homosexuality and homosexual marriage and adoption. Their show’s episode should have gotten as much [...]

Back to the Gay Frontier

Back to the Gay Frontier

Gary discusses the recent controversy with Chip and Joanna Gaines’ new show and homosexuality. Paul teaches elsewhere that all men—even pagans who do not love God and do not have the advantage of the written oracles of God (cf. Rom. 3:1-2)—nevertheless know the just requirements of God’s law. They know what God, the Creator, requires of them. They know it from the created order (1:18-2 [...]

Was the Bible Mistranslated on the Topic of Homosexuality?

Was the Bible Mistranslated on the Topic of Homosexuality?

A documentary film called 1946 claims that the 1946 Revised Standard Version translation imported the word “homosexuality” into the Bible when the New Testament does not use the word “homosexual.” Someone brought up this argument regarding Joanna and Chip Gaines and their defense of having a homosexual couple on their new show. “[A] translational error caused the word homosexual to be added to the [...]

Pulpits, Politics, and the IRS

Pulpits, Politics, and the IRS

Gary revisits a topic he discussed a few months back about churches and pastors making political endorsements. In the Georgia General Assembly Unannotated code the following instructions are given to the state’s archivist: “Encourage the study of historical documents including but not limited to those which reflect our National Motto, the Declaration of Independence, the Ten Commandments, the Cons [...]

The Scopes Trial 100 Years Later

The Scopes Trial 100 Years Later

The year 2025 is the 100th anniversary of the Scope’s Trial. Mark A. Noll’s review [1] of Garry Wills’ Under God: Religion and American Politics forced me to look at Wills’ perspective on the infamous Scopes Trial. Most of what America knows of the Scopes “Monkey” Trial held in Dayton, Tennessee, in 1925, comes from the fictionalized stage play and screen version titled Inherit the Wind.[2] Willia [...]

Using the Law Lawfully

Using the Law Lawfully

Gary responds to a video clip of Bart Ehrman about various laws from Leviticus. All of life is ethical, and all of the Bible is permeated with a concern for ethics. Unlike the organization of an encyclopedia, our Bible was not written in such a way that it devotes separate sections exclusively to various topics of interest. Hence the Bible does not contain one separate, self-contained book or chap [...]

The book The Case for America’s Christian Heritage shows that there is no honest way to separate religion from America’s polit [...]

It’s a Bad Idea to Declare Independence from God

It’s a Bad Idea to Declare Independence from God

“I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty…. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm, but I am not. — I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend [...]

It's Crazytown Out There

Gary discusses a few “things in the news” and gives his unique spin on them. Atheist philosopher Bertrand Russell captures the essence of the materialistic ethic: “Brief and powerless is man’s life; on him and all his race the slow, sure doom falls pitiless and dark. Blind to good and evil, reckless of destruction, omnipotent matter rolls on its relentless way.” Even those who deny mor [...]

Christian National-Reconstructionism

Christian National-Reconstructionism

Gary responds to a recent critique of Christian Nationalism. While the article brings up a few good points, it is marred by poor scholarship and sensationalism. The political sphere is a created government like family government and church (ecclesiastical) government. “God has instituted civil government just as He has set up the church and the family. To say we want nothing to do with civil gover [...]

What’s Old Is Now New. It’s Called Common Sense.

What’s Old Is Now New. It’s Called Common Sense.

The results of a 35-year study about health are in. If you want to remain healthy, you need to “follow five simple rules—eat well, work out, drink less, keep [your] weight down and never smoke.” It took 35 years to figure this out? We’ve always known that lifestyle, diet, exercise and not smoking enhance health. I wonder how much money was spent on this study over a 35-year period. Where was DOGE [...]

Memes and More Memes

Back for a third time, Gary highlights a few of his favorite “Memes of the Week.” Evidences do not have the ability to “speak.” The fossil record, looked at by evolutionists as incontrovertible proof that their position is true, must be interpreted. “Unfortunately, fossils do not come with labels reading, ‘I am an ancestor of man,’ ‘I am the ancestor of the chimpanzee,’ or ‘My line bec [...]

New Colorado Law Will Test the Resolve of Churches

Keying Teslas and firebombing Tesla dealerships because you disagree with certain governmental actions is not legitimate resistance, especially since these actions are levelled against private property. Under what circumstances and conditions is it morally viable to resist a civil government? Dr. Gary North sets up a possible scenario. It is 1942. The Nazis who control your nation militarily have [...]
