“Job 37:18, which describes skies without rain as a ‘bronze’ expanse (cf. Deut 28:23), is figurative and does not support the common contention that the ‘expanse’ was considered a bronze dome by the Hebrews.” — Kenneth Mathews, Genesis 1–11:26 (New American Commentary, vol. 1a) For roughly the past couple hundred years, certain scholars (mostly higher […]
I was reminded the other day that this is Black History Month. I don’t normally go out of my way to note, let alone celebrate, this. As Ryan Bomberger (who is bi-racial) of the Radiance Foundation recently wrote, “There are so many incredible stories that should be intertwined in an educational fabric that celebrates every […]
“[Socialism is] a pseudo-religion posing as a pseudo-science and run by political elites.” — Lee Edwards of The Heritage Foundation’s B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics Radical progressives want to turn America into a socialist “paradise”. They do this by teaching the “evils” of capitalism and the promises of socialism (i.e., gateway to […]
Lootings and shootings and murders, oh my! Also, car thefts, armed carjackings, train robberies, arson, vandalism, aggravated assaults, etc. When Leftists who run cities (i.e., mayors, district attorneys, city councils) defund their police force, refuse to prosecute serious crimes, even encourage lootings and arson by rioters, manipulate the system in favor of criminals, and generally […]
When it comes to the first few chapters of Genesis, some people like to claim that it is merely poetry (and thus at least partly fictional), as opposed to narrative prose about actual things that happened in real time. (Of course, even poetry can point to reality despite flowery or phenomenological language.) This affords them […]
The Bible has long been the target of pagans, skeptics, and “progressives”, including various attacks on the reliability of the text. When it comes to the Old Testament, they (naturally) start in the beginning with the book of Genesis, particularly (but not limited to) the first few chapters. In his book The Old Testament Documents, […]
“It is impossible to forge ahead while walking backward.” — Candace Owens, political commentator and podcast host Few people in America get as much flack from their own “community” as Candace Owens. But, this brave, young black woman is awake, not “woke”. She has a passion for speaking out against the political Left, who promise […]
“While the line of questions posed by the conservative members of the Court were encouraging, a lot can happen in the next few months to alter opinions. I do not believe this current administration will tolerate any decision in the case that favors the pro-life side, especially if it undermines Roe.” — Troy Newman, President […]
I thought I’d start the year by sharing a couple New Year’s traditions I read about on ‘Atlas Obscura’…. Instead of welcoming the New Year by toasting with champagne or kissing their significant others, some people in Spain and Latin America stuff their mouths with twelve grapes — preferably white Aledo grapes from Alicante, Spain. […]
This isn’t exactly a Christmas post, but it’s “Christmas-adjacent” (like Die Hard). How? It involves Scripture and the incarnation of the Son of God. In particular, the first verse in the Bible that is taken as an indication — even “proof” — of the triune nature of Yahweh. It reads, “Then God said, ‘Let us […]
