Jesus Called God “Our Father” America’s culture is experiencing questions about male-female identity. Some folks claim we should not call God “Father,” some even opting for calling God “Mother.” The other day, I saw a girl wearing a shirt that said, “I’m Not From Your Rib,” obviously disagreeing with the Genesis account about God creating the first man, putting him to sleep, and taking a rib from him with which to fashion Eve (Genesis 2.21-22). Yet Jesus is the one... Read more
The Transfiguration. All three synoptic gospels of the New Testament record that Jesus took his three disciple–Peter, James, and John–up a mountain to pray (Matt. 17.1; Mark 9.2; Luke 9.28). The apostle Matthew then says of Jesus, “he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him” (Matt. 17.2-3 NRSV). Were those actual appearances of Moses and Elijah, or were they... Read more
Last week, I read an article in The New York Times written by Medhi Hasan in which he approved of branding the creationist Duane Gish (1921-2013) with the supposed Gish Gallop technique. Hassan explained that it refers to Duane Gish publicly debating academics by purposely overwhelming them with a flurry of supposed facts resulting in his opponents not even knowing where to begin in contesting Gish’s many statements. Media reporter Medhi Hasan hosts his own “The Medhi Hasan Show” on... Read more
Rupert Murdoch is the owner of mega-media empire Fox Corp. which owns Fox News, the most watched cable TV news channel in the U.S. It was revealed today that during Murdoch’s testimony last month in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against Fox News, he admitted major Fox News hosts lied to the American public on their TV programs by agreeing with Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell who claimed the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent and that former...

In this blog, I have quoted more than once from my book, Bible Predicts Trump Fall, saying that evangelical Mike Pence–who is very public about his Christian testimony–should not have been Donald Trump’s vice president. I’ve gotten some pushback about this. The U.S. president and his or her vice president are a two-person team much like two people entering into a business partnership or a little like a man and a woman becoming married. When I criticized Pence in my... Read more
Former Vice President Mike Pence is quite public about his evangelical Christian testimony. Yet since leaving office, he has refused to testify when asked by the Special House Committee that investigated the January 6th riot at the Capitol and, more recently, by special counsel Jack Smith and his investigators who, on behalf of the Department of Justice, are investigating both the events surrounding that Capitol riot and former President Donald Trump’s act of taking unclassified documents that belong to the...

The $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News, owned by Australian media giant Rupert Murdoch, came to the forefront in the news media today as Dominion’s court filing was reported by The New York Times for the first time. Shocking statements appear in its legal filing based on discovery involving emails and other such evidence sent by various Fox News staff. Dominion is seeking this exorbitant amount in damages it claims it suffered in its reputation... Read more
The world’s oldest, complete Hebrew Bible–Codex Sassoon–will go on sale soon at Sotheby’s in New York City. It is about 1,000 years old. It is so named because of its former owner, David Solomon Sassoon, a British collector. What makes this even more interesting is that it is believed that it will sell for between $30 million and $50 million. Sotheby’s says it could “become the most valuable historical document ever sold at auction.” The highest sale ever for a... Read more
