BIBLICAL RATIONALITY

Paul Harvey in the year 1975 stated this "If I were the devil … If I were the Prince of Darkness, I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness. And I’d have a third of its real estate, and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree — Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first — I’d begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: ‘Do as you please. To the young, I would whisper that ‘The Bible is a myth.’ I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what’s bad is good, and what’s good is ‘square.’ And the old, I would teach to pray, after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington… And then I’d get organized. I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with d...

 This is a difficult question, primarily because of the motives of those asking this question. So I shall name them, and then answer the questions to the best of my understanding. The first group is those who are angry at God, for the death of a loved one or a series of unfortunate events; unlike others, I do not come here to condemn but to try to understand and give a valid explanation. Others of a similar subset are angry, that a good God would allow suffering to exist. Others have been convinced of evolutionary theory, are naturalistic, and find the idea of the supernatural absurd. Some have lost hope in God completely. First, we must examine why bad things happen to good people. First of all, in biblical references, there are no good people, every person born sins, and dies; sometimes we die, because of other people's sins. The only one that is good is God. A good God who wants our genuine love has given man free will. The angels have this free will, too. A third of them fell u...

Almost everybody has either heard, been called, or accused of toxic masculinity. The deception lies at our understanding that being masculine is toxic. That's like training your cat to be more like your dog or teaching your dog, to be more like a cat. Basically that's what we are doing. It is not natural. In fact, our problem is a loss of true masculinity. The toxicity of it, is the consequence. We must first grasp that our understanding of the toxicity of masculinity is so wide, it could almost embrace all masculinity as toxic. However, I will make the point that, what you refer as toxic masculinity actually stems from feminine behavior. For example the men that hit women is a consequence of a man being effiminate, cause their actions are contrary to what true masculunity entails. For one, no man should feel so threatened by a woman that they retaliate with violence. This is acting out of emotion, devoid of reasoning. We need rational men, that control their emotions. More mas...

It has become common for most people to say. If it does not affect me, then it does not matter to me. Yes, there is truth to that like the wars being fought that have nothing to do with us. However, there is a war raging among us. What do you mean it has nothing to do you? The kids or your kids are being raised in this environment. If we allow perversion, the more prevalent it becomes, the more tolerated it becomes, and finally those who speak against it get persecuted. Morals are collapsing. There is this stupid idea. That there is such a thing as my truth and your truth. That is ridiculous. There is merely the truth. Sure, two people may see an accident and have different accounts, but still the accident happened. This is because we abandoned the idea that truth is objective. If there isn't God or anything, then man is the arbiter of truth. We know full well men lie, if it furthers their agenda. That is why most communist regimes were atheist; if there isn't God, they are God...

 One must agree, that if we are to build a house, we must first have a foundation. The entire theory of evolution simply does not have a foundation. The best attempt at encountering this lack of understanding is the theory of abiogenesis. That is not biological evolution but the unfounded hypothesis of chemical evolution. The truth is, if it happened once, why hasn't anyone been observed nor proven with the scientific evidence how life emerges from nonlife. They did an experiment and the closest they came to a cell, was the creation of amino acids. A minor component of what a cell is composed of. This theory has been disposed of. The scientific evidence shows the early earth would not be conducive to the formation of amino acids. Scientists have tried to explain the problem away, by saying life must have come here through a comet or from outer space. Still doesn't explain how life starts, you're just ignoring the problem. Let us dismantle this hypothesis. The first law of i...

It is a sad thing that the gospel has been distorted. People no longer come to Christ for forgiveness and eternal life with God, but for miracles and blessings specifically in financial success. I am not claiming that God cannot bless people financially, he does. However Paul stated that, 1 Timothy 6:8 "But if we have food and clothing we will be content". Think how much blessed we truly are, beyond this simple things. As a matter of fact Paul states in Philippines 4:11-13 " I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength."  Paul taught us to rely on God, not man or anything else. This is not what we see in televengalist lavished with private jets and all sorts of luxury. Whereas they are supposed to exemplify Christ in his humility. Though he was God the son, he did not concern himself to the approval of man, for he came to do ...

We barely come to think as to the reasons as to why we have rights, and how this ingenious mechanism of law has protected persons against the tyranny of the majority via authorities.  If it be, that rights are merely a matter of the opinion of men and if it be that, there does not exist a higher objective standard. We are surely forsaken. However, the authors of the Constitution wrote that every man was created equal. Meaning we are all made in the image of God. Not that we have equal capabilities and will have equal resources or outcomes. The idea of rights is rooted in the Christian idea that every man; even an enemy, needs their chance in court before a judge and should not be tortured. Due to the dignity that God provides. This reminds me of the story of the good samaritan, and how it exemplifies, what it truly means to be a good neighbor. This story is exemplified in the gospel of Luke in chapter 10: verses 25-37  On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesu...
