Earlier this summer, the Episcopal Church posed the question "Is God male?". Apparently, this set off a firestorm of debate and each argument was presented from a human, secular point of view, reasoning that since the language of "God" was written as Father, King and Lord, then it's self evident that "God" [Elohim] must only … Continue reading “In The Beginning”, There Was The Father And The Son And…A Female Elohim Too?

When Yahweh Gave The 10 Commandments To Moses On Mount Sinai, They Were NOT Written On Stone Tablets
...That is, at least not at first.... I know what you're thinking. Oh, come on! Now, this is just too crazy to even imagine! We all know this story too well. You can't tell us that the 10 Commandments weren't written on stone tablets! We all saw Charlton Heston receive them as Yahweh spoke the … Continue reading When Yahweh Gave The 10 Commandments To Moses On Mount Sinai, They Were NOT Written On Stone Tablets
Where Is The “Place Of Safety” That Many Religions Talk About?
Years ago, I was a baptized member of a church whose doctrine taught about a Place of Safety that "God's chosen people" would escape to in the latter days, just before the tribulation that would result in the deaths of 100's of millions of people. We were told that this place was Petra, an ancient … Continue reading Where Is The “Place Of Safety” That Many Religions Talk About?
The Facts About Noah’s Flood Are Universally Misunderstood
A question was recently raised about the validity of Noah's flood and whether it could possibly be a true story or just a fable found in the Bible.

All of the text was written many years after the events happened, thus causing human memories to fade with time. Plus, it has been translated into … Continue reading How Do We Know That The Bible Is True?
What Was The Significance Of Noah’s Rainbow?
Not only has this NOT been a question that has puzzled theologians for centuries, I dare say it’s a question that few have ever asked, as the answer seems self-evident. Moses writes that after Noah’s flood, the rainbow was placed in the sky as a promise from Yahweh that He’ll never destroy mankind again with … Continue reading What Was The Significance Of Noah’s Rainbow?
What Was Yahshua’s “Crime” That Resulted In His Execution?
There is much speculation, in the various religious discussion groups that I've participated in, about the sequence of events that lead to the eventual crucifixion and death of Yahshua Anointed. Some say that the emotions of the Jewish people in Jerusalem had gotten so inflamed that a "mob mentality" took over and nothing could have … Continue reading What Was Yahshua’s “Crime” That Resulted In His Execution?
What’s In A Name? (Part 2)
In Part 1 of this post (here), I described the etymology and history of how the correct name of our Messiah, Yahshua Anointed, eventually became the familiar name of our Lord Jesus Christ today. This name gradually changed over the years, but there was a sudden change in the 1st century A.D. which forced that … Continue reading What’s In A Name? (Part 2)
