The Jews Should Not Exist

The people known as Hebrews, or Jews should not exist.  The fact that they do defies human reasoning.  Their early history and culture is captured and codified in what Christian’s call the Old Testament of the Bible.  The origins of these people go back some 4,000 years and their experience spans every sort of natural, [...]

Jesus: The Revelation

As spiritual creatures we are a part of eternity and the supernatural, but in our earthly form we are trapped in a natural world.  The God of eternity fills our most basic instincts and humanity has been drawn to Him from age to age.  We are drawn to Him because He beckons to us across [...]

The Supernatural Dishwasher

Let’s  say I have been living in a remote part of the earth for many years and have not kept up with technology.  I return to this country and buy a house.  In my kitchen, there is a machine I do not understand.  It has a knob on the front and a latch that secures [...]

False Religions Not Based on True Revelation

Any religion or theology that is not based on authenticated revelation is false.  Without revelation, humanity must create theology and religion based on observations of the natural world.  Such religions tend to permit human beings to continue doing what they want to do.  These religions always present a system of human works that can eventually [...]

Revelation! A Requirement

Human opinions are largely the result of thinking and reasoning.  It is a natural process performed by a biological brain trapped in a time-driven perspective.  When we think, we take stock of certain facts, relate them, and reach conclusions about the past, present and future.  Fear, however, throws a monkey-wrench into this otherwise rational process.

Eternity and Morality

Human beings are biological creatures living in a natural world.  We know that is the truth.  Does man also have a spiritual dimension?  Jesus said we do.  Spirituality is a supernatural subject, just like eternity.  At the root of eternity and spirituality is a common probability:  The existence of God.  The existence of God is [...]

The Reality of Eternity

Human beings somehow sense the reality of eternity and we are driven to touch it in a tangible way with our minds.  These attempts always fail.  At the point we think we are about to grasp eternity with understanding our thoughts become muddled.  What we think we are about to grasp slowly evaporates into a [...]

Natural vs. Supernatural

Natural things are things we can see, touch, understand and frequently manipulate.  Nature, by definition, is the material world and its phenomena.  So, natural things are limited to things and conditions present in, or produced, by nature.  Supernatural things encompass all things outside the natural world.  Since supernatural things evidently have spiritual characteristics, it is [...]

Humans Have Supernatural Qualities

Scientists are very intelligent and science is important as a tool to understand and interpret the natural universe, but scientists attempt to interpret what they see against a backdrop of nothing.  If there is nothing beyond time, what is the purpose of life beyond survival and reproduction of the various species?  It brings us back [...]

Pure Existence

Eternity must be occupied by something that needs it and logically that something would use up all of the “space” in eternity.  There would be no need for eternity if it were not utilized to the fullest extent.  Any unoccupied portion of eternity would be unnecessary, and eternity would end at the point it is [...]

The Reality of the Supernatural

There is nothing we can see, from a natural perspective, on the other side of the “big-bang,” (the beginning of time) but that does not prove nothing is there.  There must be something on the other side of the beginning as we know it or we would have to accept the idea that something did [...]

Cause and Effect

The natural world is a system based on cause and effect.  Time is composed of events and behind each event there is always a direct cause that makes the event possible.  This law of cause and effect involves a principle of dependency; everything that happens is dependent upon something else happening first.  If the thing [...]

The Problem About Time

 The natural universe exists in time.  However, it eternity exists it is timeless.  One analogy I heard that tries to describe eternity involved imagining a huge diamond the size of the earth.  Every billion years a hummingbird appears, flies to the diamond and lightly brushes one beat of its wing against it.  When the hummingbird’s wing [...]

The Cosmos and Eternity

During the ministry of Jesus  on earth, he showcased eternity as the stage of spiritual reality.  Jesus said that his purpose of coming into the natural world, and his subsequent death and resurrection, was to provide a way for human beings to have eternal life.  This message makes the issue of eternity critical; if there [...]
