Madison vs. Jesus #7: God Prohibits Some Folks’ Repentance?

Last updated on: August 6, 2019 at 9:53 am By Dave Armstrong

This is an installment of my series of replies to an article by Dr. David Madison: a pastor in the Methodist Church for nine years, who has a PhD in Biblical Studies from Boston University. It’s called, “Things We Wish Jesus Hadn’t Said” (Debunking Christianity, 7-21-19). His words will be in blue below. Dr. Madison makes several “generic” digs at Jesus and Christianity, in the written portion (it details a series of 12 podcasts): A challenge for Christians: If you’re so sure Jesus existed, then...

Hot Flashes: Successful Natural Remedies Available

Last updated on: August 4, 2019 at 12:24 pm By Dave Armstrong

For the hundreds of millions of women who endure the ordeal of the “hot flash” during their pre-menopausal years, no further description is necessary. As for those men (many millions also, I fear) who are married to these women and who make fun of this symptom or show little compassion for the discomfort, irritation, and sometimes embarrassment involved: it’s no fun at all, guys. Please get with it and show some more understanding. It can only make life better for... Read more

“Angry Atheist” Ring-Around-the-Rosey Example #763

Last updated on: August 5, 2019 at 4:12 pm By Dave Armstrong

The following “replies” took place on the Debunking Christianity website in early August 2019, underneath the post, “Things We Wish Jesus Hadn’t Said” (7-21-19), by Dr. David Madison. The sky fell down because (lowly ignorant Christian that I am) I dared to write (and announce there) a refutation of one of twelve podcasts that Dr. Madison presented in his article (I’ll be writing many more, too: possibly replies to all twelve). Words of the attackers will be in various colors: sir_russ =... Read more

Depression and Anxiety: Some Natural Remedies Do Exist!

Last updated on: August 2, 2019 at 12:18 pm By Dave Armstrong

Millions have problems with depression and anxiety. Why that is (apart from physiological reasons) would be a huge discussion in itself. But I wanted to share with others the success that my wife Judy has had with various natural remedies. She has had fairly serious depression and post-partum depression, particularly from 1993 (when our second child was born) to 2000. She took Zoloft during that time, and it had several negative side-effects, such as making her what we called “zombie-like”.... Read more

Caiaphas’ Unjust Accusation of Jesus as a Blasphemer

Last updated on: August 2, 2019 at 11:13 am By Dave Armstrong

At Jesus’ trial, He was questioned by Caiaphas the high priest: Matthew 26:63-66 (RSV) And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” [64] Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, hereafter you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.” [65] Then the high priest tore his... Read more
