Christianity, it’s different

Christianity is different from other world religions. Most of them can survive their sacred texts being found to contain conflicting details. What’s most important to them are the broad generalities they teach, not the particulars of their founders’ lives. But Christianity holds itself to such a high standard — 100% accuracy (a standard established by God Himself) — that the details of the life and death of Jesus Christ are critical to the validity of Christianity’s entire message. In fact,

Did God really create over billions of years?

People often challenge biblical (young-earth) creationists with comments along the lines of, “I don’t believe evolution, but couldn’t God have taken billions of years to create?” Some claim that an emphasis on six literal days, 6,000 years ago even keeps people away from the faith, so why do we focus on something that is not a salvation issue? It is not the timescale in and of itself that is the important issue, but whether the Bible actually means what it

Can I Be A Christian and Believe in Evolution?

This question arises frequently these days as evolution is taught in public schools across the U.S. Some Christians think it’s irrelevant whether they believe in Biblical Creation as long as they accept and abide by the Gospel. But is it?  Here is some perspective inspired by Joel Tay, a Scientist at Creation Ministries International, that shows this is a more serious matter than some Christians think. The belief that it doesn’t matter what you believe about biblical creation infers a

2017 Prophetic Year in Review

When Jesus was describing conditions just previous to the end of this Age, He said “you will hear of wars and rumors of war.” (Matthew 24:6) In a broad sense, that’s true of all years. But 2017 was different. It was rife with rumors of warfare at a level perhaps never seen on earth before. Two nations figured prominently in those threats. One or both of them may one day make up part of an alliance known in Biblical prophecy

The Unbiblical Theories of Pope Francis

[Some] folks are beginning to notice that Pope Francis seems to have a lot of them. Some of which don’t seem to agree with the Bible or the historical teachings of the Roman Catholic church. Writing for the British newspaper, The Independent, Samuel Osborne observed, “During his four years in office, Pope Francis declared evolution is real, assured atheists that they don’t have to believe in God to go to heaven, and spoken out against the rise of populism in

Trump and the End Times

It’s a funny thing. During the primaries, many Christians opposed Donald Trump because he wasn’t “Christian” enough. But since he won the presidential election, some of those Christians have decided that these may not be the end-times after all. They place so much hope in President-Elect Trump that they foresee only good things happening in the United States and the world. And it’s true that some positive things have already taken place. Now, I don’t know how the President-Elect will

Scientific Study of LGBT Issues Results in Intolerance

According to an article produced by Answers in Genesis1, researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine reviewed hundreds of scientific papers on homosexuality and transgenderism. They determined that many popular views on LGBT issues, such as the idea that “gender identity is an innate, fixed property of human beings that is independent of biological sex,” are not supported by science. Now, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is at odds with the actual evidence of the study, and is using

Amnesty Hypocritical

Political Correctness has … turned Amnesty International into Amnesty Hypocritical. It is ironic that Islam is probably the greatest beneficiary of Political Correctness. Yet Islam is hostile to the main tenets of Political Correctness. Homosexuals once held the highest level of “protected status” among the politically correct. But it now seems that the gay community’s “most protected” status has been replaced by love of Mohammed. His religion despises, outlaws, and punishes gays. It regards women as commodities, to be bought and

A Message About Sexual Orientation

Recent reports indicate that the Obama administration has released new guidelines that require all federally-funded women’s shelters to admit men who identify themselves as women.  The potential for abuse and predatory behavior is obvious.  However, the real and eternal life-threatening problem lies in the bigger picture.  Ken Ham in his Answers In Genesis blog writes, Now as Christians, we should have compassion on all people who are in need of help, including those who call themselves transgender. But we also recognize
