Nearly everyone has heard of the famous, Noah Flood in the Bible. Nonetheless, most folks are not aware that there are two “floods” in the book of Genesis and the Noah Flood is the lesser of the two. Let’s begin with the bigger deluge, clues about which we learn from a careful reading of the very first words of the Bible. Genesis 1.1 starts off with, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” A Companion Bible note…..
About 2600 years ago, the king of Babylon had a strange dream, in which he saw a terrifying statue made of various metals. The symbols of this dream were partly analyzed by the prophet Daniel at that time. But the final solving of this mystery remains for us today. The statue represented the series of corrupt empires which would dominate politics and finance for a set time-period and which would come to an end in our era. I am grateful…..
I begin by thanking the Virginia writer Richard Kelly Hoskins for introducing me to some measure of this subject. Times have changed. The phrase, “the Christian West” is outdated. It is no longer true. Today, we are going to learn how our old, church-based society became slowly converted to Hinduism, in ways that are sometimes not so easy to see. But once we’ve noticed them, we can recognize them everywhere. There are obvious signs too. Western pop-stars have been encouraging…..
What is the Name of God? The popular King James version of the Lord’s Prayer says to Him, “Hallowed be thy name,” which The Holy Bible in Modern English interprets as, “Your Name must be being hallowed.” “Hallowed” means revered as sacred. But what is His Name? “God” is a description. “Lord” is a title of honour. But neither of these is a name. In the Old Testament, God is often called “THE LORD,” which the introductions to these versions…..
Most of us recognize that society is going increasingly cashless, as many transactions today are carried out by credit card, debit card, or e-transfer. For reasons of absolute control, the establishment wants to eliminate cash altogether but there is one important holdup to that happening. At present, cash is necessary to facilitate the sale of illegal drugs. The establishment wants us on drugs for two reasons. One of their stated goals is to reduce our population. Drugs accomplish that, by…..
Back in 1970, Germaine Greer published The Female Eunuch, a book which has influenced feminism ever since. In 1999, she wrote The Whole Woman. In this second book, she lamented that although women’s lives had changed in thirty years, they had not noticeably improved. I agree. Her suggested solution to that problem was “It’s time to get angry again.” But if thirty years of anger cannot improve the feminine condition, why should we believe that it will improve by thirty…..
Allow me to begin by explaining how I cleared all the plaque out of my arteries, easily. We’ll then move on to explore how this might point to a cure for multiple sclerosis. People in the know have been using a combination of Vitamin C and Lysine to get plaque out of their arteries for some time, on the advice of Nobel-Prize-winning scientist Linus Pauling. I first heard about it around 25 years ago and the dosage I read about…..
For starters, no-one is paying me to advertise this product. I used it successfully, which is why I’m passing the news. People in the know have been using a combination of Vitamin C and Lysine to clear plaque out of their arteries for some time, on the advice of Nobel-Prize-winning scientist Linus Pauling. I first heard about it around 25 years ago. The dosage I read about was 6 grams/day of lysine, with 8 grams/day of Vitamin C. However, for…..
Some people think of Heaven as a strictly spiritual, fourth dimension. That would suggest that, if God exists, He doesn’t exist in reality. But God, Who created all reality, is certainly a part of it and so is His neighbourhood. Heaven is simply the vast universe. It is God’s throne. It is where the angels live. What is an angel? The angels are children of God who do not die. The word angel is ancient Greek for messenger. None of…..
There are a lot of Bibles available. I have not read them all and any Bible is better than none. But some recent translations have been so influenced by churches that have lost their way that I do not trust them. Never be a one-Bible-only stick-in-the-mud! Interpreting the meaning of dead languages is a big job, so most translators bring out meanings that others have missed. Gradually collecting additional translations is a good habit to get into. I bought some…..
