Those who strongly disagree with the "European Union" forging ahead, the Euro-skeptics, state sovereignty is under attack and that the EU is going backwards, descending into the darkness of fascism, not advancing democratic ideals but sacrificing them with impunity.Rodney Atkinson, author of three books on the subject of Fascist Europe Rising (his most recent), led the charge, sounded the alarm, from a strictly secular point of view that interestingly matched what theologian Herbert W....
Recently we Christians have been bombarded with a slew of Gnostic readings and studies which gnaw at the heels of Christianity. Since the discovery of the Coptic Gospel of Thomas at Nag Hammadi in Egypt in 1945, scholars have had a heyday deciphering the purpose behind the Gnostic faith.So what is Gnosticism? Without getting too intellectual or theological, Gnosticism basically indicates that the requirement of salvation is special knowledge from God, which they call, simply, knowledge....
Question
With all of the various interpretations of the second coming today how do we know if we are on target, or off on a wild tangent?Answer
This question seems to be the one that plagues the believer most often and it is easy to see why. Do we go with a pre, mid or post tribulation rapture? Should we believe the teachings of the pre, post or ah millennialists? And there are many other questions swirling around today in a dizzying melee that will confuse anyone, regardless of how...
Things the antichrist will do at about the time he rises to power or shortly thereafterHe receives a deathblow from some would he assassin. And to the amazement of the whole world he recovers from what would otherwise be a mortal wound. While it is purely conjectural, some think that he actually is dead by all standards and is revived directly by Satan. This belief is why some also believe he will acquire the full spirit of the god of this world (Satan) at that very point, and will be...
QuestionAre movies like The Omen or the more recent TV series Revelations helpful? Even though they are not always biblically sound or historically accurate, can't we glean some good things from them anyway?AnswerI once heard a man describe the Hollywood crowd as a bunch of crooks and robbers with the morality of a pack of jackals. I concur with this assessment in general, so it is hard for me to conceive of anything redemptive coming from a Hollywood interpretation of one of the gravest...
The Supposed ThreatWhile Jeffrey sees a New World Order of global domination of economic, political and military power the greatest threat to our national security, he writes that God will intervene before the last seven years of this age and sweep the church off the earth before the Tribulation begins. This is precisely the kind of "crystal ball" fortune-telling modern prophecy pundits engage in when they ignore or overlook the first century fulfillment of the end-time.Whatever may be...
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross... " (Hebrews 12:2 NIV).The story is told of the little boy who loved to play with toy soldiers. His mother and father gave him a chocolate soldier, carefully wrapped in bright red foil, for his birthday. The little boy was ecstatic. He took it outside on a very warm afternoon and placed "General Julius," as he named his new addition to the family of soldiers, right up...
In person, Noam Chomsky, now 77, is soft-spoken and considerate, looking very much like what he has become
Emergence is a notoriously slippery subject. Some say it seems to be nothing more than a shorthand way of describing the development of the universe and the rise of life on Earth. Others say it takes one into much deeper scientific and philosophical waters.Charles Darwin might have articulated the most well-known scientific theory of emergence
"I don't believe in God. I believe in something, just not in God".When questioned about their belief in God, a lot people seem to have a very narrow view of what God is supposed to be, inextricably linked to organised religion. When they cannot reconcile that narrow view with their own belief system they state that they do not believe in God and therefore have no relationship with the divine. That relationship may still be desired, as it could bring security, unconditional love, support...
How much do we believe that people need to hear the gospel?Matt 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."We see that when Jesus left the earth to be with his Father, He gave an assignment to the disciples. It is the same assignment that we have today. This assignment was to...
God is inescapable, non erasable and inevitable. God is feared and loved, he is hated and revered. He is all that of a simple creation that yet has an effect on the whole world. He is something to fight for, he is something to live for, he is something to follow. Any God in any religion in any belief is a part of the society or culture in which the individual that follows him and resides in. More can be said about God than any other topic, subject or theory. God's theories, beliefs, fundamentals,...
Interreligious dialogue is a challenging process by which adherents of differing religious traditions encounter each other in order to break down the walls of division that stand at the center of most wars. The objective of interreligious dialogue is peace.What does interfaith encounter look like? Interreligious dialogue has many faces. Two people can come together and share the aspects of their respective faiths and struggle to understand that which is foreign. Theologians can write papers,...
When it comes to fundamentalist preachers, there is nothing quite like the way they choose to express themselves from the pulpit. What they say, in and of itself, can be quite amazing. Such as the recent flap with Mrs. Benny Hinn, tryng her darndest to give a ranting good sermon for the masses and making a complete fool out of herself. In the typical breathless rant of evangelical showmanship, she told the audience what they needed was "a Holy Ghost enema, right up their butts." Honest,...
The Antahkarana is a psychic body which is you or rather your greater self yet you are inhabiting only a small part of yourself. You are inhabiting only the seven chakras whereas the Antahkarana stretches from the chakra in the center of the earth, through you and up through your crown chakra through all the chakras above your head, to God.The Antahkarana is the communication bus, the energy of the Holy Spirit, which connects between heaven and Earth.These three are the Holy Trinity.
