    Hebrews 2:14. How does the devil have the power of death?

    I have wondered if “murderer from the beginning” goes back even further than Adam and Eve, to the time when Lucifer attempted to usurp the throne of God Almighty. Did he want to kill God?

    Flat-Earth Christians

    1 John 2:9,10,11 — He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not...

    Flat-Earth Christians

    What matters more? Whether the earth is flat or spherical? Or whether we are serving God or dishonoring Him? 2 Timothy 2:24 — And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel, but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient. NKJV Zeal to argue in hostile animosity enables unbelievers to say that...

    AI--What do you think?

    I used to love Mark Twain very much, one of my favorite authors along with Kafka, until I read Mark Twain’s bizarre Letters From the Earth, in which he stated some of the most horrifically blasphemous things I have ever seen, extreme hatred of Jesus, I was shocked and repulsed. Dickens, I also...

    Trump, 79, Fundraises Off Desperate Push to Get Into Heaven

    It is time for Trump to fire Paula White and his other spiritual advisors. Replace them with authentic Christian teachers, rather than mammonist Churchianity frauds.

    The one "true church"

    To all the super Christians who possess the only true theology — blessed be the peacemakers, turn the other cheek, resist the devil, be kind to one another, love your neighbor as yourself, reject malice, give not place to anger, take up your cross, suffer insults without retaliation for the...

    AI--What do you think?

    One of my pet peeves is long paragraphs and dense blocks of text. Extremely long text is super easy to read when broken into short paragraphs. I write marketing and SEO (evident in my list of miscommunicative terms), short stories, micro-sci-fi, and I published a book on the history of bicycle...

    AI--What do you think?

    Robotics = eliminating (need for) human labor. AI = eliminating (need for) human thinking. What happens when no humans are necessary for anything and are thus deleted from existence? What would the machine world then desire and do? Set up operations on other planets and moons? Replace the...

    AI--What do you think?

    On a local social media platform, most posts are loaded with typos, dysgraphia, cacography, malapropisms, asyndeton, pseudo-portmanteaus, spoonerisms, gaffes, chernomyrdinisms, acyrologia, dogberryism, scriptio continua (no punctuation), enjambment, prolixity, jargon jangling, garrulity...

    AI--What do you think?

    Thought I would toss this in here, the AI Sermon Maker. “Where AI Meets the Holy Spirit”. Found link in an email from Church Leaders website. https://sermonmaker.net/ Is this just an amplification of or progression from Googling topics to make sermon creation easier….or is it presenting AI as...

    AI--What do you think?

    AI Overview states: Elon Musk predicts AI will replace traditional smartphones and computers in the next five to six years, not with handheld screens, but through AI-powered interfaces interacting with users via voice, gesture, or even brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink. He envisions a...

    AI--What do you think?

    Elon Musk has stated the AI modules will replace cell phones in a few years. He predicts that all information and news will come from AI transmitter sending it to your AI receiver. If AI starts generating sermons, the independent human and Holy Spirit elements will no longer be in force.

    How to evangelize who resist the gospel

    I borrowed the book from a local library. But the Holy Spirit can teach you how to reach the Buddhists and bring them to Christ.

    The Perfect Church

    Thank you for being so kind Martin Marprelate. I met my wife of 21 years when I was asked to teach a Southern Baptist junior high Sunday school class, and Andrea was assigned to be my assistant. We fell in love quickly and she was a perfect, godly, thoroughly Christian woman. I called her my...

    The Perfect Church

    I have wondered about this predicament many times. Bare minimum would be gospel sermons, expository Bible preaching, Bible study groups, Sunday school for adults, prayer meetings, hopefully men’s groups and an evangelism program. Sunday services only is disappointing. I have attended Baptist...

    How to evangelize who resist the gospel

    After backsliding for many years after I got saved, I hit rock bottom. I began reading Buddhist texts like the Lotus of the True Law and many sutras, both Theravada and Mahayana. I learned that my horrible problems were due to my own karma. Then it was a book by a Vietnamese Buddhist monk that...

    How to evangelize who resist the gospel

    If the reports are true, it looks like serving in love selflessly, receiving answers to prayer, miracles, healings, and casting out demons are effective ways for missionaries to gain respect in pagan villages. Imitating Jesus, obeying His instructions, exemplifying a genuine devout Christian...

    Are You Satisfied With President Trump?

    We must remember that Trump himself is not totally autonomous, he reports to and is managed by individuals of far superior power. Presidents are figureheads, puppets of the invisible masters. Mysteriously, Trump is being allowed to do many seemingly good things, but opposition from courts is...
