Frames of Reference

Freedom of Religion has become twisted to become freedom from religion, which is not what the Founders intended, as a simple reading of the Amendment makes clear.

Abortion usually is one of those issues all Christians agree on. But is it possible to be a pro-choice Christian and be correct? When do babies deserve legal protection?

Only a few months after the Healthcare bill passed (aka Obamacare) and the President signed an executive order “guaranteeing” taxpayer money won’t fund abortion, we find out (surprise!) it will, and does. How long did that promise last? As long as an ice-cube in Hell.

Perhaps you’ve heard the “Cloward and Piven strategy” mentioned. What exactly is it? And how does it play into the wildly increasing Federal debt, failure to act on a number of issues, and general political philosophy (“Never let a crisis go to waste”)?

Perhaps nothing differentiates “modern” and traditional Christianity more than the role of men and women. Those promoting a recent social justice version discard parts of the Bible not fitting their position, frequently by arguing those parts have historical meaning only. Does that make sense? Can we pick and choose what is God’s Word and what isn’t? If so, how can that be done, and who gets to make the rules (since it isn’t God)?

Reverend Jim Wallis’ article “How Christian is Tea Party Libertarianism” contains several errors. Our previous article examined Mr. Wallis’ error understanding both the Tea Party and Libertarianism. In this article, we’ll examine his other major error—using Romans 13 to support his brand of government, and its forced use of “social justice” (to use his term). Does Romans 13 imply Christians must unconditionally support government actions? The answer (not surprisingly) has been answered long ago, and remains amazingly simple when considered in context.

Does the 1967 Scofield Bible retain the thee’s and thou’s, or does it remove them when it updated archaic words?

In my new book “The Troubled Church” someone noticed page 162 says Paul made the twelfth apostle after Judas hung himself. Yet it’s noticed in Acts 1 Matthias was chosen, not Paul. What’s going on? Does the book have a mistake or typo?

A White House adviser compares the Tea Party to libertarian philosophy, declaring it as “Un-Christian” while he supports his brand of “social justice”. Is the Tea Party libertarian? Is it Un-Christian as the adviser claims? And the big question, in view of Romans 13, how should Christians view the government and its actions?

Question regarding the 1967 Scofield and the New King James Version

Deficit-deniers are back at it again with the sequel “Myth of the Stimulus” as they tout a CBO report claiming millions of jobs created from the (in)famous “Stimulus” package. But does the report have any relevance to reality at all? Read the report for yourself and see what the CBO director says about it to find out. The answer will surprise you after you’ve heard what politicians claimed for it.

Previously Richard Dawkins, when asked for his definition of morality, responded “Moral philosophic reasoning and a shifting zeitgeist.” In short, society defines whatever it believes is right and wrong. That’s value relativism where nothing is right or wrong—absolute morality doesn’t exist according to Dawkins. But is his answer consistent? In another discussion Dawkins again answers the question.

Christians (and it’s good advice for everyone else) are called to be skeptical—several places in the Bible it states check things out for yourself and don’t believe something just because it came from an “authoritative” source; many of those sources turn out to be false.

Bill Maher may hold strange views, but one thing we admire him for—he’ll state his views straight out, without any attempt to sugar coat it or show tact (at least he’s honest and proudly proclaims his views, in contrast to others who attempt to hide it. He’s consistent in his atheist far-left elitist views). Recently on his show atheist S.E. Cupp appeared, whose latest book titled “Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media’s Attack on Christianity” created some interesting discussion, and displayed the paradox of atheism.

Just published, The Troubled Church! While it takes stores a few weeks to update their catalog for availability, you can get it now, and save 30%. But wait, there’s more! You can also get a copy of Daniel also at 30% off.

Infinity represents one of the characteristics of God—a being with no beginning and no end, existing completely outside of time. Not always an easy concept to understand, but James gives us a surprising scientific and technical explanation in his letter.

We’ve written on evolution and beginnings for a while now, but the discussion doesn’t change much; debates over side issues continues to occur, while the foundations rarely receive much attention. For a sadly humorous read, find out what happens when evolutionary data is asked to be supplied, just about everything but scientific evidence for foundations pops up.

One concept causing problems for new believers and various other groups is the concept of the trinity — one God revealing Himself in three persons. In part II we’ll discover the Trinity has a scientific rationale as well.

The “separation of church and state” phrase gets thrown about frequently as a first amendment issue, but you’d be surprised to see the phrase doesn’t appear where it’s frequently credited. So what does separation of church and state imply?

When something can’t continue forever, it will end. In the case of the increasing Federal deficit, at some point it has to stop — the only questions are when and how (as in how painful will it be).

One concept causing problems for new believers and various other groups is the concept of the trinity — one God revealing Himself in three persons. Many groups deny the trinity, as they deny the deity of Jesus Himself, which causes problems in the Bible.

It’s even funnier (actually sad) they take their God-denying rants seriously.

How can you find current news and information without spending hours surfing the web? Three easy methods exist to have news delivered to you, instead of you searching for it.

For some reason, atheists aren’t happy unless they convert religious people to their dogma. Why? I don’t know, but they frequently display intolerance, expressing a deep conviction to win converts to the religion of atheism.

With all the debate over health-care, what’s really going on behind the scenes? You sure won’t find out watching CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, or CNN. One of the sticking issues remains abortion — should the Federal government pay for it? The two sides have been arguing back and forth, but recently the mask has come off the pro-abortion side, revealing what they really want.
