Spiritual Answers For The Real World
The world has always resisted the Biblical Jesus. By that I mean the supernatural Jesus. The Son of God. The man raised from the dead. The man who claimed to be “the way, truth and life.” The man who clearly said there was no name under heaven other than his - that produces eternal life.
Let us suppose I have several children. I love them equally. None of them are perfect, but I love them anyway. They are all fathered by me and have my genes and my blood. My desire is that they love each other as much as I love them, but they have problems with each other [...]
God is fearless and perfectly unselfish. There is no threat to the “self” of God and that is the source of his perfect righteousness. It is also the prerequisite for perfect love. God is love because God is perfectly fearless and unselfish. This enables Him to love completely in total abandon, holding nothing back. [...]
What is the fundamental issue or condition that produces righteousness in God that human beings are unable to duplicate, no matter how hard they try. What is it that is inherent in God, that people can’t match on their best day or their best moment.
The Christian idea that humans are cut off from God because of being inherently unrighteous is the part of the Christian message that is most unpopular. Because many people embrace the idea that variable truth is possible, they reject the proposition of being unrighteous and justify the decision by comparing themselves to themselves.
The most important word in the Bible may be righteousness. When you see the righteousness word in the Bible as it is attributed to God, it is usually describing God’s character, or His nature, or His actions, or His attitude. And, you usually find it used in conjunction with three other words: love, justice and [...]
The Bible reveals that sin is at the very center of the nature of human beings and is a terminal condition that results in spiritual death and separation from God. It is this revelation of the nature of sin that makes up the “bad news” portion of the Hebrew revelation we know as The Old [...]
After the Hebrews spent four-hundred plus years in Egypt as slaves, a descendent of Abraham named Moses was called by God from a burning bush. God told Moses to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt and take them back to Canaan so they could possess the land He had promised Abraham. Moses, who was employed [...]
The Old Testament revelation is that Abraham was the first Jew and it was not a result of his own doing. Around 2000 B.C., Abraham was minding his own business when God called him to a personal relationship, telling him to pack up and move from his home south of Babylon to a location further [...]
Common sense aside, it is difficult for average people, like me, to become sufficiently astute to make value judgments regarding the truth of the various arguments among the “experts” who make a living challenging the text of the Bible. However, from a practical perspective, I do not believe it is necessary. People who are honestly [...]
In every case of textual criticism regarding the Bible (about authors, dates, and truth) there is an assumption made with respect to supernatural influence. It is deemed to be impossible, which requires a new explanation for what is written. If miracles are reported to have happened, the text is considered to be misleading and natural [...]
An authentic, true, supernatural revelation would have the following 4 characteristics: It would reveal things we could not otherwise know. It would be somewhat of a surprise. It would line up with certain observable facts. It would not conflict with itself, or be deceptive.
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, [...]
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 [...]
