The apostle said that the things recorded had been listed as examples. That was done so that the first people of God, their lives and conditions and their story might be of benefit. Israel’s bondage is given there as a type of the Corinthian’s (and therefore our own) bondage in sin. Moses the deliverer was then a type of Christ, who is the antitype by example.

On Sunday, March 23 the television show 60 Minutes a segment was aired concerning the “James the brother of Jesus” ossuary. Most scholars and experts have come to believe that the phrase “brother of Jesus” was forged on to the ossuary in an attempt to make this ossuary an important historical artifact. But the disturbing […]

I was certainly shocked and appalled when information about the kind of sermons being preached at the church Barrack Obama has been a member for nearly 20 years was revealed. Honestly, I am at a loss how any person who claims to be a Christian or claims to preach from the scriptures can teach against […]

Obama: Sermon on Mount OKs Same-Sex Unions

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) told a crowd at Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio, Sunday that he believes the Sermon on the Mount justifies his support for legal recognition of same-sex unions. He also told the crowd that his position in favor of legalized abortion does not make him “less Christian.”

“I don’t think it [a same-sex union] should be called marriage, but I think that it is a legal right that they should have that is recognized by the state,” said Obama. “If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans.” St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans condemns homosexual acts as unnatural and sinful.

Jesus said that he was both God and the Son of God Almighty, the Creator. He did not claim to be a philosopher or simply a good guy. Those who say he was a ground breaking philosopher, but not God, as he claimed to be make him out a liar in their ignorance.

He is the only person who has ever made these claims and offered any evidence to back them up. The making of the claims gives you only two choices as to how to go: it either makes him a nut, unworthy of wasting any time on, or he is the Son of God as he claims to be. Christ (not a name, but a title) said, that in his name is life. The world did not, and does not believe that.

The ages where God gave his hand of power and his word for our direction are over; and we are among “those upon whom the end of the ages are come” just as surely as those Corinthians Paul wrote to had been. Two covenants requiring complicity have been forged on the hot anvil of God’s will and under heaven’s mighty hand, and only two. When that second one was completed the bellows were shut down and the fires were quenched for all time.

At the end of the last essay I had asked how you might account for the fact as to why the Bible has incurred more distain than any other book of any kind. So why is it so hated?

The answer is simple. The Bible is the only book that draws an appalling picture of mankind.
