A few years ago, pastor and author John Hagee, and also author Mark Blitz, published books that both created a Blood Moon Prophecy frenzy and at the same time cashed in on the frenzy, selling millions of books that capitalized on the End Times hoopla. That was back in 2014. Nothing happened, other than Hagee and Blitz generating a lot of moola on the hype they had generated. Fast-forward to this weekend and some Christians are back at the prophecy... Read more
I’m seeing posts lately suggesting that it’s “heresy” to only follow Jesus. Like this one, for example: *[NOTE: Marcion was NOT the first “Red Letter Christian” because he only accepted one of the four Gospels and everything else was from Paul.] Seriously? If you believe Jesus was the incarnation of God in the flesh, how can it be heresy to only follow that One who is none other than GOD? So…what you’re saying is: It’s not enough to follow God....

Saying 5: Jesus said: “Know what is in front of your face and that which is hidden from you will become plain to you. For there is nothing hidden which will not become manifest.” This saying might seem a little familiar to some of us

SAYING 3: “Jesus said, ‘If those who lead you say to you, ‘See, the Kingdom is in the sky,’ then the birds of the sky will go before you. If they say to you, ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fish will go
Imagine if someone arrived on the scene with a bold message that both threatened the very heart of the religious establishment and the authority of the Government, and inspired masses of people to question their submission to either of them. How might those two established powers – the Church and the State – respond to someone whose voice held such power over the hearts and minds of their citizens? Especially if that voice was gaining influence and if that figure... Read more
“Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.” – Voltaire Saying 2 in the Gospel of Thomas – which may actually be Saying 1 – invites us to ask questions and develop our inner desire for Truth, but warns us that the process
Every Good Friday, Christian pastors stand in their pulpits and tell the biggest lie of the Christian faith. In their zeal to overstate the suffering of Jesus – as if being tortured and nailed to a cross for six hours isn’t bad enough – they will attempt to convince people in the pews that Jesus also experienced a spiritual separation from the Father and that, for the first time in all Eternity, the bond between Father and Son was severed....
