    Effect The butterfly

    Is reality not a metaphor? Does not all that exists outside us not reveal all that exists within us? There are many different ways of viewing human existence as we know it but this view dramatically changes when we consider life after death. If we do...

    Myth of omni-selfish motives

    Every now and then I run into someone claiming that there is no such thing as an un-selfish act. That at it’s base every action is essentially selfish. Now this idea is so peculiar that it momentarily stuns the listener, but after the initial pause it becomes apparent that the person really...

    When did the name of GOD first appear

    What verse of the bible in original text does the name "Yehweh " first appear? Does the name first appear on the mountain with Moses? Also, would it be correct to say that Abraham, Isac and Jacob did not know the proper name Yehweh? If they did know then why did Moses ask GOD what his name was?

    Ironically unapplied study

    A short hop ago a group of high school girls caught wind of a surprising rumor that, for the first time in its history, their school was going to host a senior prom. Excited by the news, the girls began whispering and chattering among themselves about the broad range of subjects involved with...

    Parable challenge (The Strong and the stubborn)

    Long before the microscope. Long before publications in print. Long before TV or radio. Before science was readily available to all people, there was two neighbors one frail and sick and one healthy and strong. The frail man was bitter because he coughed and ached and had no energy. He felt...

    Let him who comes with the hearing option….let him hear.

    Because I hear this accusation so often I feel compelled to answer. Because this attitude perpetrates philosophical arguments so often I feel I must speak out in rebuke because the double standard is blatant and ugly. “GOD makes us flawed and then punishes us for the flaws in his creation.”...

    Star Wars is greater than Star Trek [moved from GT]

    At a party the comical question arose between two ardent fans debating which was greater; Star Wars or Star Trek. Although of course the victor is subjective the majority consensus in the party was greatly in favor of Star Wars. But when asked why no one seemed to be able to clearly define the...

    “Grace is OK.”

    The other day I was watching “the winter passing” which is a mellow drama about a relatively dysfunctional family of writers. The movie centers around a daughter who is struggling to reconcile her feeling towards her family which consisted of a distant self absorbed father and mother who...

    A mysterious but fair rant

    Inevitably when the topic of GOD comes up right behind it comes tragedy and the never ending question “why?” Now most people are familiar with the popular Christian response “GOD works in mysterious ways.” Now this response is far inadequate for the analytical mind but for all reading this...

    Jesus The Son Of Evolution!!!!

    One of my favorite things to do is watch the discovery channel and the history channel. I love science and I consider myself very lucky to live in this day and age where one can catch up on the studies of nearly every scientific discipline by simply going to the library, surfing the internet, or...

    Stairway to heaven

    The song “stairway to heaven” by Led Zeppelin is the most requested rock song of all time. When I stopped to think about it seemed kind of strange given the fact that rock is commonly preferred for its party, rebellious, darker perspective spirit. This fact struck me as odd given the slow...

    Will They Stay In Hell Forever!!!!!

    The question comes up every once and a while weather or not hell will be eternal for the dammed. Everyone on every level differs in their opinions concerning this topic and it has been disused in depth through out the ages. Hell is eternal trash can. Hell is punishment eventually leading to...

    Apollo bows to CHRIST

    Not that this matters and please don't read too much into me posting this. I just found this very interesting. The Oracle of Apollo at Delphi was a cornerstone of greek worship. It is where the god Apollo communicated with a prophetess on a regular basis giving advise to kings and nobles for...

    Believing GOD exists will not help you.

    Dear friends in CHRIST. Very often I come across people who ask me “why doesn’t GOD just appear to everyone? Then everyone would believe.” This comes from the misconception that GOD simply wants people to believe he exists. My response to this question is written below. Why do you think that...
