The Doctrinal Hypothesis

JEDP, I knew you well. There is scholarship in different circles that tries to discredit the Torah (or first 5 books of the Bible—specifically Genesis) by stating that it was complied by 4 authors—none of which was Moses. Tackling this head on—there is no problem with a different writer for Genesis.  Clearly, it’s not a [...]

Who Should Control How Much You Get Paid?

Some of the most well paid people in the world are athletes.  These people who play a sport get paid to do something they love to do—and they get paid handsomely. Now, it’s true that they produce some jobs—concession stand operators, announcers, etc.  And they produce a lot of revenue in terms of television contracts, [...]

Microsoft Has a New Search Engine

Just when you thought Google had it all sewn up, Microsoft is still attempting to come up with an answer to Google and to try to get in on Google’s millions making search engine.

Just Incase You Still Believe Him

By now I’m hoping that you’ve begun to see through the facade.  President Obama promised a lot of things, and contrary to what some would like you to believe, he intends on carrying out his socialist agenda as far as he can get away with.

How The Bible Was Delivered

The Atheist’s next argument is again placing himself in the position of God.  His argument is summarized thusly:  If I were God, I’d make sure that everyone heard from me personally—I wouldn’t use dead languages over time.  That’s just a bad job at revelation.

Palin Vs. Letterman

I don’t think that Gov. Sarah Palin has a good chance of getting anywhere close to the White House.  Don’t get me wrong, from what I’ve seen of her policies and passion I believe that she could have been a great Vice President, but some of the things that are happening are colluding to make [...]

No Matter What We He Chooses, He Loses

There’s this old saying, about being between a rock and a hard place.  Well, that’s where our new President is going to find himself very soon. You see, no matter who the President is, there is a whole lot of difference between a candidate and an actual elected official.  The candidate, more times than not, [...]

As If We Weren’t Taxed Enough

One of the signature reforms that was on the lips of the politicians last fall was the health care system.  Whether it was Sen. McCain’s gimmick of allowing insurance companies to go across state lines or then Sen. Obama’s plan to nationalize a bit of the health care system, both of them believed that the [...]

Biblical “Contradictions”

No discussion with an Atheist is complete without some mention of the “hundreds” of contradictions in the Bible.  However, for every contradiction they can come up with, there’s always a reasonable response to them if you take the time to examine the context of the passage and consider the time period and culture.

Obama Wants To Control All Businesses

The old adage goes “Actions Speak Louder than Words”, so when Pres. Obama came out a few weeks ago to say that he didn’t want to control the auto industry—he had enough things to do with being President that he didn’t need to be a auto company CEO—many believed him.  Except he kept pursuing policies [...]

Is It All About Money?

I was recently reminded about what really matters.  The truth is that there are things that will matter in this life, and things that will last for eternity.  People will last for eternity.  Our children will last for eternity.  This blog will probably not.

Never Met a Tax He Didn’t Like

President Obama has a lot of ideas.  And all of his ideas cost money.  And for some strange reason he believes that he can continue to raise taxes on the American people, and the American people will just keep taking it.

The Bible and Reality

The second attack is that the Bible and Reality seem to contradict each other according to the Atheist. Let’s look at his points, shall we?

Saved or Created

If I told you that, by my being laid off I saved two people their jobs, we might be able to measure that.  We could Compare my salary with the salary of two people in my company and see how the compare, or Interview the management of my former company and ask what they would [...]

How Much is In Your Emergency Fund?

How much do you have saved up?  Me, I’m better than about 3 months—especially because we’ve seriously cut back on discretionary spending with my job loss.
