Hunting and Fishing

Image
I am NOT a hunter and I never went hunting. I am NOT a fisherman and never go fishing. Yet I do NOT agree with Vegans, who equate it with murder. I believe that for most of human history it was necessary to hunt or fish in order to survive. Also, Jesus Christ Himself had shown approval of killing animals for food. See the Gospel of John's chapter 21, verses 5-13. However, todays' hunting and fishing is often a far different matter. That is because modern grocery stores and food markets eliminate the need for hunting and fishing for the overwhelming majority of people. Perhaps many can eliminate meat eating altogether, due to the potential nutrition in such wide varieties of food available today, plus modern vitamin pills. But instead, we have worse things. Namely, sport hunting and fishing: killing animals, putting them in distress, and giving them pain for no reason whatsoever. And the perverted pride of having conquered another living thing, which unlike combat sports between...

Accusing Devils

Image
                                                              Am I  hateful, linked to hate groups per Internet claims, or promote hate? Again, NO. 1) Any manifestation of hate ALWAYS includes severely mistreating others OR advocating for severe abuse of others. One can be secretly hateful without such indications. But you cannot know that without being a mind reader.  Without such evidence, shut up and quit judging.   See my 6-minute video on hate for more information.   It has been said that my content is widely regarded as hateful. But here's why: The political spectrum can be divided into extra-liberal, standard liberal, moderate, standard conservative, and extra-conservative or Alt-Right. And the dominant pattern is that the more liberal one is, the more people they accuse of hate. And generally, the...

Christian Divorce/Remarriage: An Intro

Image
                                                                    My parents are not religious.  But they were only married once, to the same person for 63 years!  Yet I have encountered churchgoers who were on their fourth marriage! Today's believers bring SHAME and discredit the cause of Christ. Jesus allowed divorce and remarriage for ONLY ONE reason (Matthew 5:31-32, Matthew 19:9, Mark 10:11-12, Luke 16:18, Romans 7:2-3 KJV). Early Church father Origen stated that even one spouse poisoning the other or killing their child would not be grounds for divorce. The two become one flesh as Jesus said.  Paul's 1st Corint hians 7:15 is no addition. Rather, desertion affords the strongest presumption of Jesus's exception: adultery. That is because it is human nature that those who were married do not remain ...

Multiculturalism

Image
                                                                  I'm unconcerned with differences between interculturalism, multiculturalism, poly-culturalism, or trans-culturalism. They all view the mixing of cultures, ethnicities, and races as good. Rather, it's that verses the conservative historical value of separation.  As far as multiculturalism in the early Church, Internet sources are *extremely dishonest*. They essentially say the Church was fully multicult.  But here is what is behind that:   In the Bible's pre-Mosaic and Jewish ages, Yahweh's people were commanded to be fully separate from all others, culturally, ethnically, geographically, and racially.  Any mixing resulted in war, the Israelites being captured or capturing others, or their falling away from the LORD.  But the adven...

The Holocaust

Image
The word holocaust comes from the Greek word holokaustos, meaning a whole burnt offering. This term appears in the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Old Testament circa 250 BC which Jesus and His disciples quoted from.  In over 250 places most Bibles use the words burnt offering or offerings. For example, Genesis 8:20, Leviticus chapter 1, Psalm 50:8, and Hebrews 10:8. Some Bibles used the words holocaust, holocausts, holocausto, holocaustos, or holocaustum. This includes the Latin Vulgate circa AD 390, the Douay-Rheims of 1610 and its 18th century revisions, 1970's  New American Bible , and Portuguese and Spanish versions as late as the year 2000. And it only meant burning by fire.  Along came the book titled Night, all of which I listened to on audio. It was written by Elie Wiesel, who was held in Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Monowitz concentration camps. In it he made the following claims: In the Gleason Forest infants were tossed into the air and used as targets f...

Am I a Deist?

Image
                                                                Ayo.  Am I a deist? NO.  Deism is belief in the existence of a supreme creator who has  never intervened in the universe after having created it. In other words, they would say that God, after creating Earth and the laws governing her  never interfered with the operation of those laws.  That is, rejecting any supernatural intervention in human affairs.  Also, most Deists reject any revelation as a source of divine knowledge and that God never interacted with humanity. That is, God's existence is revealed through nature  only . I do believe that God is primarily revealed through Nature, but NOT nature only. I believe that God's major revelation came through Him taking on human flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. I believe that on e...

Hebrew

Image
                                                                  Robert Lee,  Since truths draw us closer to Christ and misinformation pulls us away, I say:  Biblical Hebrew is NOT precise. 1) Besides lacking vowels, the original vowel markings and thus original pronunciations are lost to history. 2) The original full Hebrew text body is lost to history. There are huge differences between our Masoretic text and every other early witness of the text (such as 2,600 differences in the Great Isaiah Scroll alone). 3) Biblical Hebrew is highly polysemous: that is, single words often having very different meanings, depending on context, fostering inaccurate translation. Then some words are hapax legomena (unique words that lack clues to interpretation).   4) Quoting the Jewish Encyclopedia (whose scholarship R...
