Praying at night – the Qur’an and the Bible
The Qur'an, in Sura 73, encourages praying at night. How does this compare with what's in the Bible? We'll look at the New Testament to see how the two compare and contrast. And then look at what the differences mean. The first thing I thought of when I read ...
Who are God’s children?
I would have thought this would be an easy question. Who are God's children? Apparently not so easy. At least not for some - Baptist Pastors Won’t Hear Ben Carson after Young Pastors Object That the answer to this question isn't "all of us" raises a couple interesting questions. Which ...
The problem of registering Muslims – or any group
The problem of registering Muslims. Donald Trump Sets Off a Furor With Call to Register Muslims in the U.S. Sure - it sounds great to some people. If they don't think about it too much. Even a little bit of thought would (should?) bring up all sorts of reasons ...

Protected from the Bible – Who’s in Hell
It's easy to get mad at God because of Hell. But we have to remember - no, we have to know that Hell wasn't made for us. We also have to realize that we don't go their without plenty of warnings from God - and from our own choice. Some ...
The problem of sacrifices and burnt offerings
We (Christians) tend to focus on the part about the healthy not needing a doctor - but only the sick. The part about mercy and sacrifice - I feel like we (Christians) tend to think this message was meant for the Jewish leaders - but not for us. Which is ...

The problem of Good Deeds and Faith
Any attempt to say that we must have faith and do stuff above and beyond that to earn our salvation - it takes away from Jesus' death, as I mentioned - but it also takes away our only means to judge for ourselves whether or not our faith is real ...
