Shaking Assumptions Regarding Natural Disasters
A number of posts on the Washington Post website are lamenting the fact that consumers have stockpiled their pantries with “too much” food following Hurricane Irene. For starters, who are they to determine how much food is too much for your pantry? Can’t the victuals just as well sit in your cupboard as on the store shelf? What these elitists really oppose is the notion that a food supply of your own makes you less dependent on whatever agenda they may be attempting to implement.
Lessons In Apologetics #8: Atheism
Those claiming to embrace Atheism for objective reasons often concentrate their attacks on the more scientific approaches to the existence of God such as the cosmological argument. The cosmological argument for the existence of God holds that all contingent things must have a cause and that this cause is at the minimum Aristotle’s Uncaused Cause and preferably the God of the Christian faith as expounded by Aquinas when he adapted these propositions for Christian usage.
In Defense Over Todd Akin Over Liberals Love Government Over God Comment
On Tony Perkins conservative radio program Akin said, “I think NBC has a long record of being very liberal and at the heart of liberalism, really, is a hatred for God and a belief that government should replace God. So, they’ve had a long history of not being at all favorable toward many of things that have been such a blessing to our country.”
May God bless America and us all
By Marie Jon
“When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.” — Proverbs 11:10
Should God’s people consider mourning the death of Osama bin Laden? One wonders how people of faith should appropriately respond to his demise.
Environmentalism as a surrogate religion
By Dr. Thomas P. Sheahen
In environmentalism, “Mother Earth” (Gaia the Earth Goddess) replaces God as the object of special devotion, causing some of environmentalism’s subsequent assertions to be in direct opposition to fundamental teachings of Christianity and Judaism. Another cornerstone belief is that mankind is just one species among many; this view opposes the Judeo-Christian belief that God considers mankind to be very special.
Rejoice! Christ is not dead
By Marie Jon
What started out as another beautiful weekend in May, exactly one week before Mother’s Day, would suddenly turn into a tragic loss of life. Who would ever expect that by the end of a bright and cheery spring day, a family’s happiness would be shattered forever, and a brother’s life would be taken away.
Earth Day or Good Friday. Which Will It Be?
By J. D. Longstreet
We agree with the folks at “TheBlogProf” who say: “It is no coincidence that Earth Day, April 22, was chosen to coincide with the birthday of Vladimir Lenin. A day that celebrates communism as the gold standard of human civilization. Never mind that it has never worked as advertised, creating disorder rather than order. Environmentalism, the religion du jour of the 21st century, has very similar ends of government control under the guise of being good stewards of the planet.”
God’s Ten Commandments stand for freedom
By Marie Jon
Those who want to destroy America pander to man’s human baseness. Progressives understood years ago what would happen if they succeeded in slowly but surely removing moral boundaries from every facet of our lives. And quite frankly, too many of us have become willing participants and given in to their enticements.
Lessons In Apologetics #6: Pantheism
If Deism is the belief that God is so transcendent from the cosmos He created that He no longer participates directly in it, Pantheism must be the worldview at the other end of the continuum believing that a higher power exists as Pantheism holds that God is so immanent with the universe that God and the universe are one.
A spiritual shout out to my fellow Americans
It’s shocking that we’ve reached the point where we’ve allowed big government to force us and our loved ones to be counseled about how to die with dignity. And that, my friend, is nothing less than euthanasia re-worded by the progressives who have hold over our nation. How? By using unelected czars to bypass Congress and impose laws that are wretched, abominable, and uncivilized.
The story of Christmas and King Herod
Herod the Great is mentioned in the Bible for a reason. The Almighty often places special emphasis in the scriptures on someone who is particularly wicked. In the case of Herod, there are several reasons. Let’s do some biblical investigative research and find out why by taking a further look at the story found in Matthew.
The true meaning of Thanksgiving Day
As Americans, we’re most fortunate to have been born in our beautiful, scenic country. There is not one state that does not simply take your breath away with its special charm. From California all across the Midwest to the Southern states, God has blessed this land with His special touch of natural splendor.
Lessons In Apologetics #5: Deism
Deism is described as the watchmaker view of God. Those holding to this view believe that, while God created the world and set it into motion, the natural laws He established were so comprehensive that God no longer intervenes in or on His creation’s behalf. This assumption puts it at odds with orthodox Biblical theology on a number of points.
Barak Obama: The Man Who Would Be God?
By Selwyn Duke
When writing about Barack Obama’s religious orientation recently, I pointed out that while I do believe he favors Muslim over Western culture, bowing before another — even God — is above his humility grade. I further mentioned that in keeping with this self-centeredness, Obama is (like all leftists) someone who denies moral reality.
When Truth Becomes debatable, Death Happens
Regardless of whether truth is faced or denied, what the truth is does not change. Disregarding the truth to assuage guilt or make one’s actions fit into a mold that will alleviate distress from one’s conscience is still disregarding the truth. And when the truth is blurred, lives are lost.
When America was God’s Country
The United States of America is a vast melting pot of many people of different origins and religions….And, thank God, we are still free to worship at the church, synagogue or mosque of our choice as our nation celebrates her 234th birthday as an American-Christian Republic.
Lessons In Apologetics #4: Pragmaticism & Combinationalism
Providing in part an alternative to the early 20th century viewpoint promoted in large part by Sigmund Freud that belief in God was psychologically harmful, in works such as The Varieties Of Religious Experience, James believed religion should be judged by its results in the life of the individual.
Rise up! We’re restoring honor
“Throughout history, America has seen many great leaders and noteworthy citizens change her course. It is through their personal virtues and by their example that we are able to live as a free people. On August 28, come celebrate America by honoring our heroes, our heritage, and our future.
Lessons In Apologetics #3: Experientialism & Evidentialism
In fact, God is so far beyond what the finite mind is capable of comprehending that to really say anything about God is highly inaccurate as to do so would be limiting God. As such, the best the individual can aspire to is an intuitive mystical union with the universal by turning inward through an ascetic detachment from the physical world around us in pursuit of a metaphysical unity.
A symposium starring Aristotle and Ayn Rand
Is Ayn Rand’s radical atheism a terminal defect of Objectivism philosophy? Conservatism and capitalism aside, the major tenants of Objectivism philosophy effectively is the worship of selfishness and narcissism which is antithetical to real conservatism and capitalism which are rooted in the Republic, the free market, morality, assiduousness, veritas, virtue, and God.
Tradition and Camille Paglia’s sad tale
There’s not much left of the camaraderie once equated with spending a lifetime in marriage trying to understand the mystery of loving, while being one with a member of the opposite sex through the grace of God. My sense is that Paglia doesn’t understand the predicament underlying what she laments as today’s so-called “middle class values.”
Lessons In Apologetics: Part 1
Of those unwilling to admit God may exist in those reaches man cannot fully fathom, Geisler writes, “And there is simply no way short of omniscience that one can make such sweeping and categorical statements about reality…Hence total agnosticism is only self-defeating. Only an omniscient mind could be totally agnostic and finite men do not possess omniscience.
What is the real Matrix – Part 6
These ‘gods’ of mythology are the elohim of the Bible; just like ‘man’ is a word that identifies the species of man but personal names identify individuals, so too is ‘elohim’ a word that identifies the species as ‘gods’ but personal names indentify individual elohim. The prince of these gods identified in mythology as Marduk, Zeus, Jupiter, Indra and many other names is identified in the Bible as ‘the prince of the power of the air’ (Ephesians 2:2), and is none other than the Biblical Satan.
Social Justice pastors, your chickens will come home to roost
There are false pastors embedded within America’s churches who want to destroy the gospel of Christ and replace it with Marxism. The deceivers are not afraid of the wrath of the Lord. They do not believe in the God of the Bible. They are pandering a scheme that involves big government programs and a myriad of things that have nothing to do with the command to finish up the work and the preaching of the Good News.
