The Bible and A.I.
It appears Einstein was right all along when he said: ‘only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not so sure about the former.’ Jesus answered them. Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods? (John 10:34) It also appears that many in this age believe they […]
Jesus not welcome
I saw something the other day, which reminded me of an incident in March 2023, when two ultra- orthodox members of the Zionist Government proposed a law banning the name of Jesus in Israel. In order to clamp down on ‘other religions’ their bill included imprisonment for anyone preaching Christ. Due to an outburst from […]
No More Remembered
Part 1: Context From a simple cell to the expanse of the universe everything is governed by rules: cells cannot exist without a membrane, rain can’t fall from a cloudless sky, motion requires force, and nothing is created of itself. Without rules there is confusion. Out of rules comes stability and harmony. Paul wrote: for […]
The Use and Abuse of God’s Word – Part Three: The Way, Truth and Life
Part Three: the Way, Truth and Life As the Church of Rome and daughter churches of the Reformation have obviously touched God’s Word through errant doctrine, where do we find dependable teaching and the truth of Christ Jesus in all this confusion? With so many claiming the truth, with all manner of theological answers on […]
The Use and Abuse of God’s Word – Part Two: Historical
Part Two: Historical The abuse of God’s Word comes in many forms; directly tampering with it, altering context, using it in vulgarity or arrogance; but when it comes to total disregard Ancient Israel was top of the class. There are countless examples of the LORD warning Israel of what would befall them if they stayed […]
The Use and Abuse of God’s Word – Part One: Preface
Part One: Preface One of my younger brethren had a fairly difficult time coming to grips with the Scriptures; an often testing journey towards the truth of Christ and the Word of God; he now has a good understanding of what spiritual and personal tribulation actually means. The LORD put this young brother through the […]
The Liberty of Christ
And there was delivered to Him the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: the Spirit of the LORD is upon me because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, […]
The Ubiquitous Christ
We are inherently linear beings; and while our actions progress from one to the next like words on a page, we think and visualize differently. It is not sequential like walking or reading, rather an internal subliminal conversation we have every waking moment. Within this background chatter we also reason and analyse; when a subject […]
Distractions
And this I speak for your own profit, not that I may cast a snare on you, but for that which is right, and that you may attend on the Lord without distraction. (1 Cor 7:35) While Paul was addressing the unmarried and widowed at the time, we have another issue where this Scripture could […]
Love hung bleeding
That the Creator of all things seen and unseen (John 1:1-3) would come to us in physical form, walk among us, teach us His ways and build a discipleship to carry His message through the ages is beyond understanding. That He would go as far to purchase the curse of sin with His blood goes […]
