From Yeshua to Jesus (Part 8 of Many)

In Syria and Jordan, to non-Jews, Paulus taught a new belief system, a much simplified version of the commandments topped by the worship of Yeshua resurrected adding, as he went, the epithet Son of God. Mark and Matthew wrote their gospels a few years after that, only to have them altered by a number of anonymous brush strokes on parchments.

The Epidemic of Shortage of Men in the Church

There is a great disparity in most churches, especially African American and Caribbean Churches between the number of women and men present. What accounts for this and what are the effects of this shortage of men? What can be done to reverse this undesirable situation?

Homosexuality: What Does the Bible Say?

God’s Test in Ethical Arguments

In the contemporary day there is all sense of fogginess over diametrically opposed issues in the ethical sphere: same-sex marriage; abortion; whistle-blowing websites on paedophilia; pornography in society etc. Commonly, people diverge. They take a view, having considered sides of the argument-in-question, and commit to a decision.

The biggest challenge to the credibility of the story of creation is that the Bible says it took 6 days, each 24 hours, and science teaches it took 4.5 billion years.

This article examines why the world cannot end in 2012.

Social Justice Is Not a Theology – It’s the Heart of Christ

In Mark 1:40 (NKJV) the bible tells a story, “Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean,” Then Jesus, moved with compassion (my emphasis), stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”” Let’s journey down deep a minute.

The Reckoning – The Beginning Of The Beginning

George Washington dedicated the United States of America to God in 1789, in speech (his inaugural address at the Federal Hall) and then in prayer, at St Paul’s Chapel. There is a statue of George Washington kneeling in prayer in this chapel in Lower Manhattan, New York City. That’s right New York City was the nations first capital.
