How did the Apostle John die? What can the Bible and history tell us? The Apostle John The Apostle John is the author of my favorite gospel and that is the Gospel of St. John the Apostle. He is the one apostle that rumor had it that he would never die but that’s contrary to biblical teaching for its appointed for all to die and then comes the judgment (Heb 9:27). The Apostle John was the author of the gospel... Read more
Does the Bible tell us how the Apostle Paul died? If not, what do church and secular historians say? The Pouring out of Paul Near the very end of Paul’s life he wrote some very heartbreaking statements. Apparently, just prior to his execution, Paul wrote “For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.... Read more
Can anyone really claim to be a very late descendant of Jesus Christ? It is even possible to prove it genetically or does the Bible say anything about Jesus descendants in the future? The Alpha and Omega Jesus never had children. There is no historical or biblical evidence that He ever got married either. The fact is that “He is without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of... Read more
Does the Bible say anything about cavemen? How do they fit into the Bible? Missing Links? I find it almost humorous that they keep finding “missing links” and then turn out to be frauds. What is more amazing than the claims of finding so-called missing links is that the whole chain is missing. Why are we so amazed at finding a missing link when there’s no chain in which to fit it into? One such example is Piltdown Man which... Read more
Is it sinful to donate organs after death and if necessary, even before death? What can we learn from the Bible whether a Christian should or should not donate organs?

Who are the two witnesses mentioned in the Bible? Why is it important for us to know? Witnesses We are called to be witnesses for Jesus Christ and the gospel but the fact is that less than one in ten actually witness to at least one other person in their entire lives and only one in twenty have ever lead someone to saving faith through Christ. This is one of the sins of omission that the Christian can commit. It... Read more
Some Christians actually claim to be saved and yet follow astrology. Can a Christian follow astrology and not be sinning? The Origins of Astrology Some follow astrology, some live by their horoscopes or the zodiac and some even read tarot cards to determine what the future holds. There are many who even connect with psychics but are these condemned by God? The origin of the zodiac probably comes from Mesopotamia and the Babylonians from around 3,000 BC and was later...

Who is King Ahab that is mentioned in the Bible? Why should we need to know about him? God Anoints Kings From the very beginning of the times of the kings in Israel, it was God Who appointed and anointed them as with David where it was written, “Now [David] was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he” (1st Sam 16:12) who is to be king and again... Read more
God is described in the masculine in the Bible but is God truly male or female? How can we know? Like the Angels When Jesus was asked about whether there’ll be marriage in heaven or not, He said “For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven” (Mark 12:25) and He told them who were trying to trap Him “you do not know the Scriptures or the power...

What if you’re in a situation where your husband is being abusive? Can God change this many through the power of prayer? The Power of Prayer There is power in prayer. In fact God states through Solomon that “The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will” (Prov 21:1) so if God can change the heart of a pagan king, surely He can change anyone’s heart. James writes that... Read more
