My last post was about the trinitarian debate between Dr. Dale Tuggy and Dr. Michael Brown, held eight days ago, on January 11th. Dr. Brown is Trinitarian. He presented the standard trinitarian arguments, supporting them with so many of the main texts Trinitarians cite. In my book, The Restitution of Jesus Christ, I usually go into depth regarding most of the scriptural texts Michael cited. One that I only did a paragraph on is Isa 42.8. Michael cited this, as...

On January 11, 2019, Dr. Michael Brown and Dr. Dale Tuggy spent nearly two hours debating the question, “Is the God of the Bible the Father Alone?” Then there was Q&A with the audience for almost an hour regarding this Trinity Debate. Dale Tuggy is a friend of mine. We believe alike on this question–that the God of the Bible is indeed the Father alone. Our #1 Bible text for this is Jesus’ saying in his so-called High Priestly prayer... Read more
The History Channel begins a series tomorrow on the Blue Book Project at 10:00 PM Eastern. It was the U.S. Air Force’s investigation of UFOs during the 1960s. It should be a pretty interesting program. I have a series of ten posts on my blog about UFOs entitled “The Most Renowned UFO Incidents.” In it, I mention our government’s Blue Book Project, which remains very controversial. Many authorities believe it was somewhat of a coverup, and I think that is... Read more
F. F. Bruce (1910-1990) was Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester in England. He wrote numerous Bible commentaries. He had a sterling reputation as an astute scholar who could explain things for the common person to understand. He had an early background with the Plymouth Brethren. So, Bruce always affirmed the orthodox teaching of Trinitarianism–God is three Persons (Father, Son Jesus, and Holy Spirit)–so that Jesus was both God and man. Readers of my literary... Read more
Republican President Donald Trump is in a battle with Democrats about constructing a physical barrier along the nearly 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border to prevent illegal immigration. After two years of the Republicans having a majority in both branches of Congress during Trump’s presidency, the Democrats now have a distinct majority in the House of Representatives by virtue of winning the mid-term elections last November. This further empowers Democrats to oppose Trump’s proposal to build such a barrier. Thus, our government is... Read more
The day after President Donald Trump fired his FBI Director James Comey, on May 10, 2017–only four months into Donald Trump’s presidency–I blogged (“The Black House Is Turning Me into a Democrat“) concerning the FBI investigation into Trump possibly colluding with the Russians to win the presidency, “If this story has legs, Congress could tell Mr. Donald Trump, ‘You’re fired’ [meaning impeach him]. But there is another alternative. I’m going to make a prediction: Donald Trump will resign the U.S.... Read more
Dr. Larry W. Hurtado is Professor Emeritus of New Testament Language, Literature, and Theology at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. I know Larry. He was the lecturer in the 8th annual, two-day Kermit Zarley Lectures at North Park University in Chicago in 2008. Larry Hurtado has specialized in writing books about early Christian worship of Jesus. He regards it as prime evidence that Jesus was God (high christology). Larry... Read more
My friend Barbara Buzzard–wife of my friend Sir Anthony Buzzard, professor emeritus at Atlanta Bible College–has written an interesting article, “The Seeds of Deception,” in this month’s newsletter “Focus on the Kingdom,” of which Anthony is the editor. She writes mostly about Dr. M. Scott Peck’s second book, People of the Lie (1983). (I’ll dispense with the lengthy subtitles of his books to keep this short.) Barbara obviously decided, and rightly so, that talk about this book is appropriate for our... Read more
In 2016, I posted during the presidential campaign, “Was Donald Trump a Draft Dodger?” Yesterday, The New York Times reported strong testimony that he indeed was. Two daughters of Dr. Larry Braunstein–Trump’s supposed podiatrist who died in 2007–claim their father often told people that he did a “favor” for Fred Trump, the landlord of his medical practice. The daughters, Dr. Elysa Braunstein and Sharon Kessel, say their father certified medically that Trump’s son, Donald, had a “bone spur” on his... Read more
President Donald Trump just upset his own political party, several U.S. allies, and much of the world on Friday by abruptly announcing on Twitter with a mere tweet, as is often his practice, that he will pull the total 2,000 U.S. troops out of Syria within thirty days and reduce to half the 14,000 troops in Afghanistan. This U.S. presence has been mostly for the purpose of hindering extremist Islamic terrorism which threatens the U.S. and many nations. But the... Read more
