Who are we?
We are a group of young (mostly), Evangelical (we think the term is still good to use), “apologete” (defenders & proclaimers), politically incorrect, culturally insensitive unashamed of the Gospel, passionate followers of Jesus Christ and most importantly we are church man. We serve our risen Savior through our local church for the glory of God.
.
What do we like to do?
We love to make an apologia for our belief.

Who’s who
SlimJim (James) is a pastor. He is a faithful servant of the church and his Saviour. Although young in age he is trying to be an apologist for the faith. He is very active in evangelism and apologetics on the university campuses. His interests include Christian history, military history, apologetics, philosophy, politics and theology. He is a United States Marine Corps veteran, a graduate of UCLA and holds an MDiv and ThM.
Zephanja M. (EvangelZ) is a Christian who desires to be set apart for Christ. It is by the grace of God that he is to continue to hate what He hates and love what He loves. Christ is his magnificent obsession. He wants the Lord to be your magnificent obsession as well. Z recently graduated with his M.Div and is sharing the gospel and evangelizing on university campuses. Z does open air preaching and can also be seen in your local Planned Parenthood Genocide Mills. In addition, “Z” also enjoy Reformed Rappers such as LeCrae and Shai Linne, and also writes and raps himself.
Andy C.C is a pastor. Andy’s testimony of how he came to know the Lord is an inconceivable story of God’s saving grace. He came out of a life of extreme spiritual depravity. Only a merciful God can redeemed such a wicked sinner. Andy’s passion in life is to worship God through the study of His inerrant, authoritative and inspired Scripture, live a Christ-like life and to proclaim the truth. Andy is a church planter and runs a theological training school in the 10/40 area. A former table tennis competitor (he still has his Waldner blade with Pronte rubber).
Thank you for linking my blog to your blog. In a few days I will link your blog to my blog.

Interesting description of yourselves; referring to yourselves as culturally insensitive. I sometimes get concerned with those who treat culture as if it were the “anti-Christ.” Jesus did say that we should not love the things of this world. Yet, that does not mean that we eschew the stewardship of things God created because they are of this world. Culture is as much a part of God’s creation, fallen as it might be. There are things there, in the garbage dump his creation has become through sin, that still reflect the beauty of the Savior and the beauty of his creation. My experience, and please forgive my “self-righteousness,” has been that Christians who generally fall into hyper-reformed categories are less loving than they should be toward what they consider “the world.” It is important to defend and to proclaim. However, most of the time it is more powerful and effective to simply love, listen and build relationship with “the least of these.” Just a reflection…..
dumbsheep,
Thanks for your comment and observation. My original intent of the phrase “culturally insensitive” was on the proclamation of the Gospel over being concerned about how people would view us. Perhaps I would one day change it to “unashamed of the Gospel.”
btw, you mentioned hyper-reformed, would you kindly tell me who (within the last 50 years) would fall into such a category?
also, if you notice from our blog that we do not use vulgar language and we try to be as respectful as we can. Therefore, we are not culturally insensitive in regards to being respectful towards people.
I apologize if this is the wrong spot to post this, but i couldn’t find any email addresses on the site.
In the post with all the Bahnsen links, comments were recently closed. Why is this? In any case, I did ask the host of those files about copyright, and here is his reply:
“As far as I know, the audios between Bahnsen and Stein are NOT copyrighted and I definitely did NOT get them from a copyrighted source. No one has asked me to take them down either…God Bless…”
You might want to make that information available to your readers.
Richard,
the comment was open for issues relating to the debates or about the articles. Not on copyright stuff.
But, we will let you comment on it.
“Love not the world….” I John 2:15 is not a quotation from Jesus. I have, as a Calvinist preacher, always noticed that anyone who is consistently reformed is usually anathamatized as a hyper-calvinist. I don’t want to apear obtuse but what do you mean by all 8 ponts? Some include preterism, dominion theology, etc… but I’m not sure how you mean it. God bless, RLJ
On logic– inductive reasons are always false because they have more in their conclusion than they have in their premises:
All men are mortal,
Socrates was a man,
therefore Socrates had to shave every day to avoid growing a beard.
Now it may be true that Socrates faced the necessity of shaving daily to avoid facial hair accumulation BUT it does NOT follow, logically, from the premises. Silver Blaze, to state Holmes’ argument correctly and make it a valid argument would go:
Slver Blaze is EITHER at place A or place B.
Silver Blaze is not at place A
therefore
Silver Blaze must be at place B.
Just because an argument is valid does not mean what it says is necessarily true.
Mermaids can breath underwater,
Beings who breath underwater can live in the sea,
Therefore mermaids can live in the sea.
Most people don’t believe in the existence of mermaids, self included, but it is a valid argument, the conclussion follows from the premises although they are not true. When you say Neil Armstrong went to the moon, you do not say Neil Armstrong went and STAYED on either the moon or Mars. To say in a conclussion that he is not [now] on the moon is equivocating, or at the very least casting a shadow of ambiguation on the exact intended meaning of your premises. When you say he went to either the moon or Mars it can be understood to say he VISITED either the moon or Mars. I peronally feel this is the way many people would take that statement. To suddenly change horse midstream and assert he is not ON one or the other is to begin comparing apples and oranges. We are wanting to know where he WENT and NOT where he IS. I take the time to go through this point because, in my experience in apologetics, most cult members as well as atheists are extremely irrational (as you have well pointed out above.) Albert Camu, who, as an existencialist didn’t believe in right or wrong or moral absolutes, once made the statement that France’s involvement in the war of Algier was immoral. Go figure. On the blog called The Atheocracy, they often loudly deny universal morals and then turn around and say Christians are immoral for condemning homosexuality. I like to pont out that God also hates adultery and fornication as well. I am used to atheists, Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons using faulty logic. I don’t like to see us, as Christians, make irrational leaps of logic. Irving Copi and Patrick Hurley have both written excellent text books on logic. The short primer LOGIC by the late Dr. Gordon H. Clark and published by the Trinity Foundation is good too. RLJ
Oops! I posted this in the wrong place, it was a comment on the post What is wrong with this argument from where I went to a site called a quick introduction to logic. Sorry about any confussion. RLJ
Richard Leo Jackson,
Don’t worry about the wrong post on the wrong blog. As part of the 8-points Calvinism which is forgiveness, we forgive you =)
Btw, what I mean by 8-point is non-literal but in general to include other important areas such as special revelation, Scripture, deity of Christ, etc. In total, it is probably a few hundred-points. What was originally intended is that we do not focus only on the 5-points.
Didn’t know where else to put this.
Yall seem to know a fair amount about reason.
I have used a verse for my belief (i think there are many verses) for Perserverance of the Saints in which I think I am using good reason.
You probably have heard it.
Hebrews 3:14 “For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance film until the end.”
My reasoning: Only those who hold fast were partakers of Christ.
I think the key phrase is “have become”
Does that reasoning hold up. (I do not know what devices I am using to make the conclustion).
Is there a way to present it that would have more “strength and validity”
Any thougts would be appreciated.
TLT,
We agree with what you are trying to present, that those who are firm until the end and have become partakers of Christ will indeed be saved by peserverence.
Do you have any systematic theology book at home? Curious…

“Scott
You posted a link to your website three times and it didn’t even talk about Swinburne per se.
You go around spamming three times here, and come back wondering why your comment was deleted. Got to be the funniest question I heard all week.”
Scott replies:
Dear Mr. Slim Jim. I am sincerely sorry. I didn’t know that my posts were spam. But I am glad you got a hardy laugh:)
In the FIRST post I mentioned Richard Swinburne quite directly. I mentioned that Richard Swinburne is an Orthodox Christian.
This fact, that he is an Orthodox Christian (Not in the slightest or remotes sense a Calvinist), seemed quite relevant, since Richard Swinburne is Orthodox and you are a group of reformed pastors, with a web site presenting items from from a Calvinist perspective, not from an Orthodox perspective.
I listed the link to an Orthodox podcast sight, because this is relevant to Richard Swinburne and his entire ethos.
In the SECOND post, I listed the website again because I thought the second link would be more useful, than the first link I posted, to anyone who was interested in learning about the Original Church, which still exists today, that has formed the mind of Richard Swinburne.
My THIRD post, simply asked an honest question. I did I see any way to contact anyone privately (just as now). and as I didn’t know to whom I was addressing my question, I listed the link again for that persons reference, so that they might answer my question.
And it worked. You answered my question. A bit rudely I think, but I have learned to expect nothing less from my younger Calvinist friends, so no offense taken.
Any hoot. You don’t need to reply to me…you can if you want…I will be happy to follow up with you, although I would recommend doing so via private email. But that is your decision.
In closing, it appears that the earlier comments I made are now visible, but only in part. Your comment however is fully visible.
It seems only fair, to me at least, to make my comments fully visible as well and also post this reply. But that’s just my opinion.
Thanks so much Mr. Slim Jim.
In Christ,
Scott Neufeld
I find it ironic you find my comment rude, but spamming the same link all three times within a 24 hours period (even though there was nothing directly about Swinburne mentioned in the link itself that is visible) does not strike you as rude.
The only thing that was removed in your comment was the same links you kept giving.
Just so you know Scott, in order to spare the commerical spammers on wordpress from getting your email, I’ve deleted your email address above, to spare your inbox, as they have been popping in here a lot and making their presence known.
Dear Mr. SlimJim,
One quick question…
In my first post, did I mention specifically that “Richard Swinburne” was an Orthodox Christian?
In Christ,
Scott
P.S. Thank you kindly for removing my email address as to protect me from commercial spammers. I gave the email address for your use, if you desired to contact me privately.
Scott
Yes, you mentioned specifically that “Richard Swinburne” was an Orthodox Christian.
The issue is you spamming the links.
Is it so difficult to see that your trolling is unwelcomed?
I don’t see how this can further the Eastern church’s cause.
Dear Jim,
I just don’t get this “spamming” charge you keep making.
1- You will have to explain, please.
——————————————————————
The site I listed does not currently have any Richard Swinburne lectures posted, but as I have stated prior, Richard Swinburne’s Orthodoxy is quite relevant to any Richard Swinburne lecture, Bahnsen or Van Til would certainly agree.
Here is an Orthodox site that has a Richard Swinburne audio…#8
http://myocn.net/index.php/Table/CRTL-Archives/
2- For listing this site above, would you consider me a spammer?
———————————————————————
You said “Is it so difficult to see that your trolling is unwelcomed?”
Perhaps you will have to define “trolling” to me as well.
I Googled for Richard Swinburne audio. I found your site.
I downloaded one or more of the audio files listed. I listened to them.
I enjoyed them.
I am thankful that you had them listed.
I then posted a comment with a link to an Orthodox Podcast site, with speakers similar to Richard Swinburne.
I then posted a better link to other speakers similar to Richard Swinburne.
3- Is what I have described “trolling”?
In Christ,
Scott
Dear Brother Jim,
On another note away from the spamming charges etc….
You said:
“… the Eastern church’s…”
I am curious why you used the word “Eastern”?
Is there a Western Church and a Northern Church and a Southern Church?
In Christ,
Scott
Dear Scott,
I don’t have the time to pursue this trivial trail concerning your spamming.
If you think posting links to that website each time you commented on our blog in your first three comments was not an indication that you were out to spam a link, I don’t know if any further discussion about your behavior is going to be meaningful. As I said, and I will say it again, your links were not even about Swinburne.
What I meant by “Eastern” is in reference to the Orthodox tradition.
I don’t know if it would do any good for us to continue this.
Anyways, I hope you have a good day.
Dear Brother Jim,
You said:
“perhaps it was unnecessary comment.”
Well, was it or was it not an unnecessary comment?
Your apology for the comment is no apology at all if you can’t man up and say that indeed the comment was flatly wrong.
In Christ,
Scott
Dear Brother Jim,
I don’t know what to say. I have clearly and I think politely told you my precise actions, which were in no way spamming or trolling or mean spirited.
I downloaded and listened to the Swinburne files.
I have even recommended your site to others who were looking for Swinburne files.
I posted a comment that was very relevant to Richard Swinburne and his ethos.
I posted a corrected site link.
I asked a honest question when I noticed that my earlier post had been deleted and for your reference sake I included a web link.
You replied to my question by calling me a spammer and by your “best laugh all week” comment, you were basically referring to me as an idiot.
You could have just as easily responded to my question by stating something like the moderator judged that link was not relevant since it did not mention Richard Swinburne by name and thus the comment was removed.
But you didn’t. Instead using your free will you chose to call me a spammer and intone that I was an idiot.
That being said, I wish you nothing but the best.
As per your wishes I will post no further on this topic.
In Christ,
Scott
Scott
If it makes you feel better:
“The moderator judged that link was not relevant since it did not mention Richard Swinburne by name and thus the comment was removed.”
That was the essence of what I originally said: “You posted a link to your website three times and it didn’t even talk about Swinburne per se.”
You said “I asked a honest question when I noticed that my earlier post had been deleted .”
You insist your comments were deleted, but your comments were not except for the links.
I called it spam because your first two comments were in the wordpress editor’s spam box.
I apologize for saying the “funniest question” comment, perhaps it was unnecessary comment.
Hey Scott,
If I can share some honest assessment: I don’t know why you are still going with this discussion. I wonder if this is a morbid way of promoting something, by continuing this discussion concerning you putting links on our page. It just seems so characteristics of trolling.
This discussion is rather fruitless, as you can make your own blog and put all the links you like on it, which will be more edifying than the comments you have been making.
You said, “Your apology for the comment is no apology at all if you can’t man up and say that indeed the comment was flatly wrong.”
By way of observation, I don’t think an apology is only an apology if one has to say their action was “flatly” or totally wrong: One could apologize for a “grey” area situation, and take the higher ground of “why not be wronged instead?”
For the sake of making peace with you, I apologize for writing my remark that your question has “Got to be the funniest question I heard all week”.
Had I known how you were going to make this an issue, (though you said no offense was taken in your forth comment on our blog, but perhaps this discussion shows the contrary), I would have not made my statement.
Again Scott, I apologize.
You said, “Well, was it or was it not an unnecessary comment?”
My particular comment was not required (necessary) to get the point across that I was then trying to make: your spamming was not going to fly.
I didn’t think you read my comment and thought I was referring to you as an idiot. I felt bad because of how you must have felt. My comment at the time was simply an honest observation of the iorny of what appear to be a spammer asking why his comments was deleted (even though in actuality, the comment was in the spam box).
Had I known you took it that I was name calling you, which stirred you to keep on commenting, I would not have written the last part on my first comment.
Again, my comment originally was honestly pointing out the iorny that someone was spamming the same links in three comments in less than a 24 hour period, and was wondering why their comment got deleted. That was simply what the comment said.
I don’t think it necessarily implied I called you an idiot, just the same way that no one should think you imply that you are calling me a woman or unmanly when you wrote, “Your apology for the comment is no apology at all if you can’t MAN UP and say that indeed the comment was flatly wrong.” And if you were to state that comment to someone, and he thought you called them a woman or some other gender that’s not male (it just comes with our times), what can you do in response but to say sorry, that perhaps the wording “you can’t man up” was unncessary (but not necessarily evil) to get your point across?
Again as I said, I apologize.
I also apologize that your comment has to be done in public. After those three link promotion, I rather not take the risk by personal email.
To be frank, I think it’s time you move on, and call it a night.
Dear Brother Jim,
You know I used to really be into Bahnsen and Van Til. I devoured anything I could get on those two. Been a few years now though. Although I think I could probably still quote large chunks of the Bahnsen/Stein debate.
Now, I have continued this conversation because I did not spam you. You keep saying I did, but I did not.
I downloaded audio files and listened to them.
I posted 2 comments which included a harmless web link. I believe the comments and the links were relevant to Richard Swinburne.
Many hours later, a friend emailed me with a question, and I’ll be danged if Swinburne hadn’t addressed his question in one of the audios listed on your site.
So I went back to your site in order to copy the link to send to me friend. That’s when I noticed that my comments had been totally deleted. Not partially, but totally. No comments listed at all. (only later in day were my comments were partially restored…missing the links.)
I thought, hmmm that’s odd, I wonder why they deleted my comments?
So I asked. That’s it.
Now you have said…
I wonder if this is a morbid way of promoting something, by continuing this discussion concerning you putting links on our page.
To which I reply…dude please give up the accusations and name calling….you are wearing me out.
You also said…
It just seems so characteristics of trolling.
To which I reply… I don’t know what trolling is.
Now, the original web link that I listed (which I have not listed again in our discussion today) …I have nothing do with this group at all. I don’t know who they are. I know they have a ton of Orthodox speakers, and I have found their audios to be very beneficial personally.
I did hear an interview once with someone on their staff and if I remember correctly, they get something like 250,000 subscribers per month…so I don’t they need my little 3 posts on your tiny site.
You know what really gets me Jim. All day long I have told you again and again, that I did not intend any harm or foul play. I have expressed this over and over again. And yet all day long you keep saying in essence, yes you did, yes you did.
You found my comments in your spam inbox. And so forever in your mind I am a spammer?
My own testimony about the incident and my intentions etc etc etc, mean nothing?
The spam filter never lies? Then why do you check your spam inbox? Surely you must be looking for relevant messages that got flagged as spam?
You said that at least one of my posts was not flagged as spam? So maybe I am only a partial spammer? Or no that one surely slipped thru the spam filter…no I am 100% spammer.
Again I ask does my own testimony about the incident and my intentions etc etc etc, mean nothing? I have gone on and on with you all day and this means nothing to you and it only acts to well up in you fears that I have ill intent?
How often have you had a spammer or that other thing you called me…trolling…how often have you had these people converse with you all day long, pleading their innocence?
Lastly, my comment to you about “man up” was completely necessary and not evil in the slightest and right on target. You have hedged all day long. It’s a destructive habit.
Really lastly, I have enjoyed the Swinburne audios today. Thanks for posting them. Have you ever listened to them?
Swinburne’s voice is grand.
In Christ,
Scott
Scott,
Swinburne’s Coherence of Theism and Existence of God are both well done and his Faith & Reason is most welcome.
There are a lot to be said about Swinburne’s contribution to Christian philosophy however, no man is perfect, his contribution to Christian theology is detrimental especially his open view of God.
Scott,
I think you need to take a chill pill, some of your rhethorics is getting kind of strong and a little over the top.
Remember the bigger picture now, you are on someone’s else blog and you posted some unwanted, and not directly related links. The perogative is on the owners to remove whatever content they wish. Let’s not ruin a good thing with what you have heard with Dr. Swinburne, by continuing these unhealthy and unwholesome comments. I don’t want to be so frank as to be rude, but if I wanted to delete your comment, hey, it’s my perogative. Even then, your comment was never deleted, only the same link continiously promoted.
You are making this into a moral crusade, charging me of wrong doing. Sometimes its easy to get tunnel vision with self-righteousness, but remember the big picture perspective, you are on someone’s blog and you are saying all kinds of stuff about one of the blogger who just removed the links you are trying to promote. I never engaged in name calling you (and calling a spam a spam is not name calling you, it’s just calling an act for what it is, kind of like calling shooting, shooting), nor did I called you an idiot, which is indicative of more of how you felt than what I wrote. I have already apologize that my comment about your question as funny, made you felt that way, and now I do not know what else to say, nor why you continue these unedifying comment. I am wondering what more do you want? Neither did I ever say you were foul playing, nor that you were dishonest, nor was I making some grand moral accusation against you. Those were never the issue, and you accuse me of me that I have been charging this against you. I plead with you to re-read my comment again, perhaps in a more charitable light. You also assume to put words into my mouth, for instance: “You found my comments in your spam inbox. And so forever in your mind I am a spammer?” But when did I say you are forever a spammer? And is taking precaution an immoral thing Scott? When I identify your behavior as trolling, by “trolling” I do not mean I am name calling you as a short little creature! It is an internet lingo, an internet terminology of a certain behavior. I suggest you look online what that term mean, I trust you are capable in researching, since you have some great internet resources online. And when I say that, I am not saying you are an idiot, but affirming that you are competent. You also say that I have detrimental behavior! Please re-read my comments and your comments again Scott. So I implore you Scott, please stop these allegations you slander me with things that are baseless nor is it wholesome. And in my honest estimation, your whole comment does seem like a morbid fascination with controversies. Think about it: you are trying to prove you are right and that I was not justified in doing something on my own blog, and end up saying all kinds of thing about me in the end. You say you are greatful that the links were posted here but your action seem to speak otherwise.
If you charge my behavior with all these charge, what then are we to make of your behavior? Jesus taught us to judge ourselves first, and remove our own log in our eye! Have you notice who it was that have taken cheap shot against someone’s religious conviction? Do you remember your comment about calvinists? “You answered my question. A bit rudely I think, but I have learned to expect nothing less from my younger Calvinist friends, so no offense taken.” Why this comment about expecting a subset of calvinists to be rude? Those aren’t even the issues. And since when did anyone here have taken a cheap shot against the Orthodox conviction like you have done? This blog was gracious to even link to a Greek orthodox thinker! You said that my comment was rude, but “no offense taken” by you, then you proceeded in the latter part of the commenting to vent how you were offended. Obviously, you did take it offense, but why did you lie? Lying is wrong. Please be more frank in the beginning next time, these fruitless comments you produced could have been spared ahead of time, and steps toward reconciliation be progressively pursued. For someone who have the audacity to say I have to “man up” to my apology even though I apologized, I wish Scott could have “man up” to how he took offense in the beginning, as this seems to be the hurt that drives you right now.
I say all this above, not to wrestle you to cry uncle to me. Something to think about, with the larger perspective that all this began with the removal of unwanted links on someone else’s blog. Is this a battle for you to win? I think by winning, no one really wins, and it feels very immature what is going on.
Concerning the link spamming, retelling the story of how you did it gets old, nor is it a justification for spamming. Saying that the link benefited you, doesn’t show you were not spamming, since it is possible those who promote unsolicited links online can believe their links are helpful. Nor saying the link to the website is a huge website with lots of viewers now qualify it as not spamming (I’m sure some of the spammer’s site are visited more regularly than even that orthodox podcast). Nor does spamming require one to have a bad intent or that the website is “harmful”! Nor does pleading one’s innocence of promoting an unsolicited link makes the spamming no longer spamming!
I prefer that you live up to your words earlier, that your comments will end. I hope this is something you think about quietly, with no need of arguing back and forth. Show this younger calvinist the behavior of an elder wiser man.
Cheers, Scott!
I’ve started the course at bibletraining.com
Thinking about picking up Wayne Grudem’s book.
I’m glad you agree. So i guess that means you think it is good reasoning? From that verse specifically. Can it logically be argued for something else.
P: We have become partakers of Christ
H: Hold fast the beginning of our assurance until the end
If H, then P; H, therefore P:
If we hold fast the beginning of our assurance until the end, we have become partakers of Christ
We held fast the beginning of our assurance until the end
—————————————————————————-
Therefore, we have become partakers of Christ
By comparing verses that state a Christian will persevere until the end with verses that show that a person who isn’t saved will not persevere (1 John 2:19), it ought to be logically clear. However, sin impedes our ability to think rationally so we ought not to be surprised nor prideful if they reject the rational.

God bless you all.
Thank you brother. I’ve enjoyed your comments and insights on the comment box over at Triablogue and elsewhere. God bless!
Just wanted to let you guys know I stopped by to check out your site after SLIMJIM stumbled on my little piece of the bolgosphere. Looks like you have a couple of vets here and I think that’s great! I did my ‘tour’ of nearly 3o years in the Spec Ops community. I’m now following your site. Lots of great resources, many of which I am already familiar. Keep the faith!
Wow, you were with the Spec Ops community? Thank you for your service…
Thank you for your service Born4Battle.
Great information 🙂
I added your site to my blogroll today…I appreciate this blog!
And I thank God for all of you vets–Spec Ops or not!
For the Kingdom!
Savannah
Thank you sister.
Thank you sister.
Hello, SlimJim. Thanks for being a visitor to my blog and for offering your support for my humor. I read your blog as well and hope to visit more frequently. Too often, we bloggers do not take the time to offer our encouragement to fellow bloggers. I want to offer my encouragement to you now. Thanks for your time.
Thank you for the encouragement!
thanks for the blog!
Could you recommend a study/series that could be used to teach apologetics to a group of high school students? A DVD series would be nice. Suggestions please
Hey Taj, thanks for visiting our blog, we hope you come back again! Here’s the DVD series I recommend, by Dr. Greg Bahnsen: http://www.americanvision.com/products/Basic-Training-for-Defending-the-Faith.html; they have study guides available online as well, if you click here: http://americanvision.org/about/study-guides/
Thanks!
You’re welcome Taj! Let me know how it goes
Hi Guys, I just noticed you linked me in your blogroll. Thanks for that.
Mike
You are welcome Mike!
[…] Domain (The Domain For Truth) interviewed me a while back for a series they are running on “Calvinistic […]
Love your blog’s name!
Thank you! It was Andy’s (the founder of this blog) idea!
Hello,
I would like permission to use an image of Francis Schaeffer that appears on your site. Perhaps you could contact me by email, if you would care to help.
Suggestion: Put a link at the bottom of your home page to “Webmaster.”
BTW, I enjoyed browsing the site. Very challenging.
Jim
Hey Jim,
Which image of Schaeffer was it? Truth be told, we probably just posted it from somewhere online…were you looking for an image for a book you are writing?
Actually, I wanted to use in in a video ABOUT a book I am writing.
Here is the link:https://veritasdomain.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/review-lectures-on-francis-schaeffer-early-years/
But if you just copied it, I suppose you could not give permission. I am looking for a picture of Francis Schaeffer that I can use without problems.
Jim.
Just like to know how do I sign on here…Im a Brit and a Christian Thanks
I’m not sure,”Sign on here”…as in “follow” it via feeds to your email?
You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work. I guess we are neighbors. I’m in Santa Monica. Any time, you’re out, here, let’s go out and get a coffee. I’m Mike.
Wow will do! Don’t think I’ll be out in Santa Monica any time soon but I will keep that in mind. I have deleted your phone number on here for your protection of spammers and weirdos =)
Hi,
I finally finished my book, which had a strong plug for Francis Schaeffer.
It is on sale at my cost here: http://is.gd/vxAETc

Gentlemen,
I don’t know how I wound up here, I was on “Analogical Thoughts” and somehow I wound up here. However, it seems as though “here” might be a good place to be for gaining answers I have concerning “reformed theology”. Would that be accurate, or do you just deal with internal reformed academic topics? I certainly do not fit that description.
Thanks,
Tom
Hey brother,
We definitely don’t know it all but feel free to ask your questions.
Thanks,
My concern is the understanding of the practical application of scripture according to what little I know of reformed theology (TULIP-elect, Reprobate). an article of AT, “the Leviticus Principle and Calvanism” got me to thinking along those lines. For instance:
1) If it is truly the will of the Father than none should perish, then how is it possible for any other will to prevail and some do perish?
2) In the parable of the Samaritan, was the Levite the elect one as one of Israel God’s elect?
3) In the parable of the camel and the eye of the needle, how is it harder for a rich man to enter into the kingdom when the requirement for entry is not wealth but the predetermination of God on election or reprobation before birth? If a rich man is predestined as elect then it is not hard it is God’s will that he enter into the kingdom.
Why would the Lord even use these misleading parables in light of the Calvinist doctrines? I won’t continue although there are many more instances that arouse my curiosity between scripture and Calvinism as I know it (cursory at best)
Thanks,
Tom
I’m busy with ministry the last few days, can I get back to you perhaps on a Monday or Tuesday? Do you it’s appropriate that I make this into a post as well for our blog?
Thank you SlimJim,
I would appreciate your comment. Also if you could, would you include in your comment (as a post) the two trees in Romans 11? My concern with reformed theology is the branches that were broken off of the natural tree. There is no equivocation involved since the same brances broken off are the same branches that can be grafted back in.
1) If natural branches were not broken off then they were elect and not reprobate.
2) If natural branches were broken off then they were reprobate and could not have been elect.
3) If natural reprobate branches were not elect then they could not become elect to be grafted back in.
The apostle’s argument for the branches of the tree is faith not election, however the apostle’s earlier argument for the remnant is election not faith (11:5). also called into question here with the trees is the reformed P of TULIP. Later in his argument the apostle declares that Israel is the enemy of the gospel. How is a reprobate enemy of the gospel an elect beloved of God?
Thanks,
Tom
Tom-G,
I haven’t read the whole thing of what you wrote, I’ve been out most of the day with ministry but will read this Monday or so and schedule a future post
Nice blog SLIMJIM! I do have evangelical & reformed worldview as your blog seems to imply. Keep up the good work in Christ! John 4:24 & 8:32 ^^
Amen! I thank God there’s another Evangelical Reformed believer!
Soli Deo Gloria. I also thank God there’s a blog like yours!
I come from Indonesia btw. I follow the Reformed Evangelical Movement thereof.
Wow cool! I know a few Indonesian Reformed Evangelical Christians and the sense I get from them is that they are influenced a bit by Dutch Reformed works as well. Could I ask if you are Indonesian Chinese?
Yes. Mostly from Kuyper’s or Van Til’s. I’m not. I’m mixed descent og German Holland, Batak (a tribe in Indonesia), and a small bit of Chinese But most of my comrades are Chinese. Well, all that outburst of movement firestarted by Stephen Tong. Surely you’ve heard about that name? ^^
*of German, Dutch, Batak (a tribe in Indonesia), and a really small bits of Chinese. But you’re right to presume that most of the members in the movement are Chinese. Yes, notably from Kuyper and Van Til. All that movement started by Stephen Tong. Surely you’ve heard about him? How bout yours? how is the Reformed Evangelical there? It seems I heard lots of names like MacArthur, Ligonier ministry, or John Piper. They are very vocal eh?
Anw don’t read previous post. Sorry double posted.
Wow interesting mix! I am familiar with Stephen Tong, and heard of him and also his brothers. Do you go to Stephen Tong’s church? Speaking about Reformed Evangelical Christians in the United States, it does seem like Sproul, MacArthur and Piper are the household name among the Reformed Community.
I love Cornelius Van Til (I don’t know if it’s evident from the blog) and want to read more of Kuyper in the near future
Yes… His family is a blessing. Yes I do. GRII is the name of the church. Yes.. I think 3 of them are the common names.. behind them are Poythress, Oliphint, Frame, etc. As of now I’m reading Therapeutic Theology by Edward Welch and David Powlison. Very good reading.
Hmm curently i don’t know much about either two since I never read any of their books. But from what I know is that today’s Reformed seems to be inspired from their works. Ain’t it?
How is Welch’s book?
Very good and interdisciplinary. I was interested in Psychology but now am very interested in Nouthetic counseling which is why I’m reading Welch’s, Powlison’s or Tripp’s. I read “When God is Small and People is Big” by Welch. It offers biblical psychological support for people who consider Fear of Man as their standard of achievements. I find more logical solution than self-help books which as we all know it adds another problem since people still compare to their own selves which inherently still a fallen human and thus adding new wine to old wineskin.
But having Fear of God as a standard allows us to see Jesus as our standard of living and I find it really comforting and logical. God know our inner beings more than ourselves so we can truly mold ourselves to what really our best potential and purpose of living. It really declutter my perspective. You should really read it if you haven’t.

I have the book sitting at home as one of the many books I want to read! Thank you for sharing!

Hey, sorry for double posting. I think my Opera browser does have some incompatibility with WP. D u have FB page or email something? It’s easier to communicate there. Thanks
We have a Veritas Domain Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Veritas-Domain/152595018216108?fref=ts
I can’t find a good contact link, so I am hoping you don’t mind a comment here. I am wondering if you might be interested in looking at a new book that I recently published. It is an analysis of the book of Romans. I wondered if you might want to look at it for possible review purposes, or something along those lines. If you think you might be interested, here is a link to some information about it. Thanks!

Aaron I would love to review the book.
Great. If you want to email me at _______ and let me know about how you would like me to get the book to you, I will be glad to do so. I can get you an electronic copy of it or paperback, whatever you prefer.
I emailed you
Hey SlimJim,
I commented back in the beginning of June but I can see you are busy and do not have time to answer, what for you must seem to be frivolous questions concerning reformed theology apologetics. But thank you anyway for allowing me to comment.
Thanks,
Tom
Ah thanks for reminding me. I’ve posted things I’ve pre-written earlier for this week on our blog. I promise sometime next week.
Hey Guys,
There is new revelation at Paschal Lamb Ministries website regarding Holy Week chronology. The arguments, schisms, confusion, and strife that have resulted from debates over Holy Week chronology, are now coming to an end. Alleluia! It turns out that all of Jesus’ Prophesies concerning His Resurrection began at the point when the Pharisees and the Sadducees determined the “appointed time”, “beyn ha’arbayim”. It’s quite ironic that the Pharisaic records testify to, 1) the Supernatural Power of God on the day of Jesus’ Crucifixion, and, 2) that they also bear witness to their own incontrovertible incrimination, “smoking gun” (their violation of the “Word of God” (Jesus) on the day of His Crucifixion). Our God is an Awesome God!!
In Christ’s service,
David Behrens
Sola Gloria Dei!
Bringing Christian harmony to all the world
Nice blog!
Thanks!
SlimJim, could I get you to drop me an email here: tiribulus@gmail.com Please. No obligation of course, but I have a question for you and don’t how else to contact you about it.
Thanks
Hey Greg,
Sorry, I didn’t see this comment until now, let me email you.
I love your blogs and your “Religion of Peace” thing on your page. How do I get one?
The other blogger “Andy” put it up so I wouldn’t personally know although the website has infromation about how to get it on your page here: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Pages/LinktoTROP.htm
Cool. Got it! I’ve had a rare couple days. I’ll drop you a line when I can thanks.
ISLAM IS DIABOLICAL
1. It is a central tenet of Islam that God wrote every word of the Quran. In order to be the divine timeless word of God – every word of the Quran must be Moral Perfection. If just one word of the Quran is immoral imperfection – just one word of violence, murder, hate, terror, torture, inequality of women, inequality of races, sex with children, rape, slavery etc then not only is the Quran not the divine, timeless word of God but Islam is not the true religion of God but a fraudulent, bogus ideology masquerading as a religion.
2. To be a prophet of God, Muhammad cannot be a criminal.
3. Sharia Law purports to be the divine constitution of God. To be the divine constitution of God every teaching of Sharia must be Moral Perfection. If only one teaching of Sharia is immoral imperfection then not only is Sharia Law not the divine constitution of God but Islam is totally bogus – a sham and a fraud.
In the case of Muhammad, we have a criminal child molester, wife abuser, rapist, murderer, torturer, terrorist just a small sample of the criminality of Muhammad. If God picked such a prophet to represent him anywhere in the universe and gave divine sanction and support/encouragement to His prophet’s criminal acts then God would no longer be Moral Perfection and therefore no longer God but just an accomplice to his evil prophet. God would be equally guilty in all the criminal acts perpetrated by Muhammad. God would be just a wanton criminal. Just as Adolph Hitler and Comrade Stalin were not prophets of God so to Muhammad was no prophet of God.
In order to have received Quranic verses transmitted by Angel Gabriel from God then every word of the Quran must be Moral Perfection. As we shall see, given that the Quran is filled with thousands of immoral words/teachings then Muhammad never met Gabriel. Not one word was ever spoken to Muhammad by Angel Gabriel.
Muhammad was a hands on Fuhrer Prophet. He not only ordered mass murder, torture, raping of sex slaves but he personally beheaded his enemies, raped their women, plundered their property, and sold the women – he and his men did not want as sex slaves and their children into slavery to raise funds to finance his jihadi armies. The prophet of Islam owned 40 slaves.
FOLLOWING ARE THE MOST EVIL TEACHINGS IN ALL HISTORY; NOT THE TEACHNGS OF GOD BUT OF MUHAMMAD. EVERY WORD OF THE QURAN IS FROM MUHAMMAD AKA ALLAH. ISLAM IS FRAUDELENT.
NUMBER 1 MOST EVIL TEACHING: EVIL, DEMENTED, DEPRAVED SEXUAL ISLAMIC PARADISE AS LAWS OF GOD
VERSE 9:111 – MUSLIM’S PASSPORT TO PARADISE
“Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph.”
Islam teaches that if Muslims slay or are slain (kill or are killed) in the service of God, they are guaranteed accession to a deviant sexual paradise. Islam’s Paradise is filled with whorish virgins possessing voluptuous breasts and lustrous eyes. Muslims, blessed with an access to Paradise, will have 72 such virgins to engage in incessant copulation. Furthermore, Muslim’s surest way of getting a passport to Paradise, says Allah, is to get slain while trying to kill the kafirs. The Quran is no more a holy book than Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler are holy books. Indeed, Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler would make better holy books than the Quran in that the former does not incite murder of any persons whatsoever.
Here is what the Paradise of Allah looks like:
“As for the righteous (Muslims)… We (Allah) shall wed them to beautiful virgins with lustrous eyes” [Quran 44:51-54]
“The righteous (Muslims) they shall triumph… Theirs shall be voluptuous women.” [Quran 78:31-33].
Other verses in the Quran—such as 37:40-48, 44:51-55, 52:17-20, 55:56-58, 70-77, 56:7-40 and 78:31 (listed further)—describe the Paradise to be an alluring whorehouse. Additionally, never-molested (virgin) young boys like pearls will be available in abundance in the Muslim paradise (Surat 52:24, 56:17, and 76:19) for the blessed Muslim men to engage in sodomy. For Muhammad—who was a master of indulging in carnal pleasures with a dozen wives and at least two concubines in his harem—would obviously suit such a depraved whorehouse in the afterlife. Allah (the AntiGod), in pliant servitude, provided what Muhammad wanted.
Quranic verse 9:111 is the most evil, depraved, diabolical, immoral teaching in all of Islam. Indeed in all human history.
Verse 9:111 means what it means. A Muslim who dies while trying to murder kafirs fulfilling teachings 9:5, 9:29 and all the other teachings of murder, rape, terror, torture of kafirs in the Quran ARE GUARANTEED MARTYRDOM AND ACCESSION TO AN EVIL, LEWD, DEPRAVED PARADISE FILLED WITH ETERNAL VIRGINS OF EXQUISITE BEAUTY WHO REGENERATE AS VIRGINS AFTER EACH SEX ACT AND WHOM THESE KILLERS AND MURDERERS OF ISLAM CAN SEXUALLY MOLEST IN ENDLESS COPULATION FOR PERPETUAL ENJOYMENT FOR ALL ETERNITY.
In the laws of Allah kafirs are not human beings to Muslims. They have absolutely no humanity. They have no right to life and must be killed by Muslims in Allah’s cause [Jihad] for gaining Paradise. In the holy wars of Allah, for Muslims, it is a holy religious duty to murder kafirs who have grown pubic hair. The kafirs women and children will be enslaved and sold as prophet Muhammad did with the Jews of Banu Quraiza.
Allah takes away from Muslims all rights and ownership of their life. Muslims will engage Allah’s stratagems of wars without any questions asked, and kill and get killed. This is the only mode of actions that will earn them Paradise. Allah is the peerless master of incitement of violence and bloodbath.
This evil Paradise for murderers is an outrageous affront and sin against God. It turns God into a pimp, the great whoremaster of the universe making a mockery of everything God stands for. This obviously is barbaric craziness. Islam’s God – Allah is a depraved, deranged psychopath. He is commander of mass-murder, rape, enslavement and plunder. His inhuman teachings have inspired the slaughter of an estimated 270,000,000 kafirs, over the last 1400 years, by Muslims in their aim to fulfill the teaching of Quran 9:111 for gaining a place in his whorehouse Paradise.
They did the same in the Mumbai slaughter. Major Hasan did the same at Ft. Hood. You cannot ascend to Paradise by climbing on the corpses of the murdered. Those who kill in the name of and to the greater glory of God will ascend not to Paradise but descend into the fires of hell. Major Hasan who murdered 13 soldiers at Ft. Hood is a true, good Muslim obeying exactly the teachings of the Quran.
These depraved murderers died in the fulfillment of Allah’s command to conquer the nations of the world for Islam. Islam’s God is the greatest mass murderer in history. He is the great avenger of the sword, slaughtering entire populations, leaving behind a path of blood and destruction across entire continents, wailing women and children being led away in chains by the millions for a life of sexual abuse and slavery. This is not a God of Moral Perfection but a being of psychopathical evil.
Verse 9:111 is the teaching that has been used by Muhammad and his lieutenants to mobilize the suicide bombers, the beheaders, the jihadists to kill and slaughter millions. No God of mercy, love, peace and goodness would ever teach Surat 9:111 for if God gave such a law, He would be the greatest killer in all the universe – not a God of mercy, love, peace and goodness – not a God of Moral Perfection but a mass murderer on the scale of a Hitler or Stalin or Muhammad. Promising those who kill in the name of God, whose hands are covered with blood – the Islamic Paradise of sexual depravity – virgins who re-generate as virgins after each sex act – created by God for the sole purpose of servicing the righteous Muslim killers and murderers of God who are blessed with eternal erections and are permitted by God to engage in all forms of orgies, group sex, and sexual depravity is an obscenity against God.
Can you imagine a more deviant, immoral, depravity being taught to anyone whatever their age in this the 21st century?
The Quranic teachings of this morally corrupt and despicable Paradise with God acting as brothel master and slut director demonstrates the supreme evilness of Islam. Millions are being murdered in the name of and to the greater glory of God so these killers can ascend to this Paradise of madness. No normal, rational person can believe that God – the Creator of the Universe – a God of all goodness, mercy, love – could create such an evil Paradise. The modern Islamist preachers calling for young Muslims to sacrifice their lives in order to kill kafirs are calling for the blood of human beings. Quran 9:111 is an Eternal Law of God. It is timeless. The superb erections promised to Muslim men who achieve martyrdom are a powerful motivation.
Again and again, there is no way God would create such a demented Paradise. Only a sick psychopath could imagine such a place – that evil, sick mind is Muhammad.
How can anyone believe in Islam with such a pagan Paradise, believe in such evil, and pray to such an evil book – the Quran?
With its offer of eternal erections and gratifying heavenly sex with virgins who “re-virginate” after sex, its little wonder Muslim terrorists, suicide bombers and other Islamic martyrs are dying to enter Islam’s brothel paradise.
God as a depraved, sexual lunatic.
The teachings of mass-murder of kafir men and women, their whole-sale enslavement, plundering and confiscating their wealth and properties and rewarding the blessed believers with a place in a Paradise of depraved sexual orgy are not befitting of a God of Moral Perfection – a God of pure love, mercy and nonviolence. As stated and re-stated, in reality, such an evil God does not exist for if such a being existed, he would not be Moral Perfection and therefore not God.
The teaching of Allah only represents Muhammad barbarous personality. This evil paradise is the creation of Muhammad to entice his followers to murder, rape, torture, terrorize kafirs and loot their property promising these holy killers eternal sexual delights. Allah was a creation in Muhammad’s imagination in his own image. Allah of Quran simply represented Muhammad’s own characteristics, personality, desires and ambitions.
Again, no rational, normal person can believe in such an evil, sexually depraved, irrational Paradise. If anyone believed in such a Paradise filled with virgins to be sexually molested for all eternity in the presence of God, and all they need to do to enter this paradise is kill or be killed in the service of God – we would declare them criminally insane.
ALL Muslims MUST believe the Quran is the ETERNAL divine word of God – the LAWS OF GOD – that God authored the Quran and a copy of the Quran is in heaven. It is valid for all times and places FOREVER; its ideas are absolutely true and beyond all criticism. To question it is to question the very word of God, and hence blasphemous. A Muslim’s duty is to believe it and obey its divine commands without question.
Therefore, ALL Muslims must believe in verse 9:111 and ALL other teachings of the Quran, otherwise they are no longer Muslims but apostates of Islam and must themselves be killed. This means that 1.2 billion Muslims believe in this Islamic paradise filled with virgin sluts.
Needless to say NO SUCH SEXUALLY DEPRAVED ISLAMIC PARADISE EXISTS. Verse 9:111 is the incarnation of evil. It is not a teaching of Moral Perfection of a God of Moral Perfection but a teaching of moral depravity AND THEREFORE, SINCE EVERY WORD OF THE QURAN MUST BE MORAL PERFECTION TO BE THE WORD OF A GOD OF MORAL PERFECTION- THE QURAN IS NOT THE WORD/TEACHINGS OF ANY GOD AND THEREFORE, ISLAM IS TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY FALSE – A SHAM AND A FRAUD.
If a God of Mercy, Love and Justice exists then Islam is a total and complete rejection of God and His teachings. Again, those Muslims who kill and are killed in the service of this bogus Allah are not going to ascend to paradise but will descend and join their founder Muhammad in the fires of hell.
Following are Muhammad’s fictional Allah’s teachings in the Quran describing this sexually depraved Islamic Paradise. Don’t forget, Muslims believe that God wrote the Quran and therefore wrote these ridiculous evil teachings.
God, the creator is teaching that women are sexual objects whose sole purpose is to service men. The perfect woman will be young, bashful, dark eyed, full breasted, and most important untouched –
VIRGINS.
Quran: (37:40-48): -they will sit with bashful, dark-eyed virgins, as chaste as the sheltered eggs of ostriches.
God is truly a man’s man. He appreciates the sexual alluring qualities of women. And why not. He created them.
And what is the reward for Muslim men “who fight in His cause and slay and are slain” “they will sit with bashful, dark eyed virgins as chaste as the sheltered eggs of ostriches.”
Quran (56: 35-36): “Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. And made them Virgins.”
Quran (56:34-37): “-we created the houris and made them virgins, loving companions for those on the right hand-.”
Quran (55:70-77): “In each there shall be virgins chaste and fair-.dark eyed virgins sheltered in their tents whom neither man or Jinn have touched before-”
Quran (78: 33-34):”And young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age, and a full cup of wine.”
Isn’t God fantastic? “Bashful, dark eyed virgins” “virgins chaste and fair – eyed … whom neither man or Jinn have touched before” “young, full breasted maidens” are these killers eternal reward. The words “dark eyed, full breasted, virgins” belong in sex magazines not in a so called book of God.
Needless to say, all these teachings are completely evil and not from a God of Moral Perfection. In sum, Allah of the Quran represents anything but the ideals of a supreme creator of Moral Perfection. Allah is no God, period!
SECOND MOST EVIL TEACHING
QURAN 9:5 MASS MURDER:
THE INFAMOUS VERSE OF THE SWORD
“Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.”
Examination of Teaching
No God who is a God of Moral Perfection would ever teach the revelation of extermination, genocide, violence, war, terror, that is Verse 9:5. The title – “Verse of The Sword” says it all. Can you imagine the words – “Verse of The Sword” in a holy book titling a divine revelation from God?
You can hear Muhammad and Allah yelling at their followers – the Muslims “Slay the Idolaters” (unbelievers) if they don’t convert to Islam and perform all Islamic obligations. Muhammad and his overlord, Allah, instruct Muslims to wage wars against the idolaters, giving instructions of war – “besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush” When they come within Muslims reach and power, “slay” them. Do you think a God of Moral Perfection, Creator of the universe would order murder and then micro manage these murders telling Muhammad how to kill his prey? Muhammad gave these instructions – “besiege them” and “lie in ambush.”
God as Moral Perfection is the very essence of non-violence; “Slay the Idolaters” is an instruction to commit murder – even mass murder. It calls for the extermination of ALL (non-Christian/Jewish) kafirs from the face of the earth, unless they convert to Islam. This means the potential slaughter of 2.5 billion humans.
This, claimed Muhammad, is the teaching of Allah, who should be all peace and love for his creatures—irrespective of Idolaters, Muslims, Christians or Jews. God of Moral Perfection, the all powerful and compassionate, would never use violence to bring a deviant creature of his own to the right path. How can God give such an opened-ended and unconditional order to Muslims for killing a section of humanity, whom God has created and nurtured with love? As Moral Perfection, an all-perfect, all-knowing God will not create his creatures in the first place, if he/she has to kill them in such barbaric manners. Obviously, such a teaching is not from God. Muhammad himself gave these instructions to his followers in the name of God in order to succeed his personal design.
Verse 9:5 is not the word or teaching of God. It is a violent, immoral teaching of mass murder. All kafirs must either convert to Islam, agree to keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, or be murdered. All unbelievers must be killed throughout all the earth.
“Slay” is defined in the Webster dictionary as – “to put to death with a weapon, or by violence; hence, to kill violently; to put an end to; to destroy, to murder, annihilate, exterminate.”
Slay is an evil, immoral word. A God of Moral Perfection could never speak the word – “slay” or the words “slay the idolaters.” He could never write such a word, or even think such a thought. By giving such instructions, God is ordering the killing of human beings. If only one human was killed on God’s instructions then God would be himself an accomplice to murder and therefore, no longer God. Again, in order for the Quran to be the word/teachings of God – every word, every teaching must be Moral Perfection. If only one word is not Moral Perfection then the entire Quran is not the word/teachings of God and therefore, Islam is totally and completely false – a sham and a fraud. “Slay” is an immoral word and Verse 9.5 is an immorally, depraved teaching.
Repeating this fundamental truth – all the Quranic verses are the teachings of Muhammad. He created Allah of the Quran and presented Allah as the same God worshipped by Jews and Christians. Muhammad staged the revelations from Allah as revelations from God to give him authority over his followers and justification to war against the neighboring tribes of so called idolaters (pagan Arabs) and Jews and Christians – the first kafirs that faced the murderous onslaught of this killer and the murderous conquering ideology of Islam.
When Muhammad spoke, he was speaking the word of God – the laws of God – that had to be obeyed without question.
“Whoso obeyeth the messenger hath obeyed Allah, and whoso turneth away: We have not sent thee as a warder over them.” Quran 4:80
How could the word of God be challenged? By morphing into Allah, Muhammad set up the perfect totalitarian system whereby his rule could not be challenged. Muhammad was Allah and Allah was Muhammad. Allah of the Quran never existed except in the mind of Muhammad.
Verse 9:5 is not the only teaching of the Quran that is immoral – there are close to 4,000 Quranic verses that are filled with murder, hate and evil. Although, we have succeeded in our mission proving that a God of Moral Perfection could never speak, write, or think, the Word “ slay” – could never teach verse 9.5 and therefore, the Quran and Islam are totally fraudulent let us continue to examine the most important teachings of the Quran so we can truly understand the evil that Muhammad brought into the world – a very great evil that 1,400 years later is living and flourishing among us and possesses the very real possibility of conquering the entire world for his fictional Allah.
Verse 9:5 abrogates 124 peace teaching from the Quran.
THIRD MOST EVIL TEACHING
VERSE 9:29 CRIMINAL EXTORTION
“Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.”
Here, Allah orders Muslims to attack and kill the so-called ‘people of the book’ (i.e. Jews and Christians), until they are defeated and submitted to the supremacy of Islam and in willing humiliation, pay jizya (submission) tax to Muslims. Like 9:5, Verse 9:29 is a call to mass murder and extermination. Only Hitler instructed his followers to exterminate the Jews so completely in such an open instruction to slay them. These teachings are not historical niceties that kafirs can laugh off. Again, Muslims believe these Quranic verses are from God. The People’s of The Book have no choice. Convert to Islam or pay a submission tax or be murdered. In this modern age of weapons of mass destruction, mass murder ordered by God becomes a very real, frightening possibility.
Verses 9:29 and 9:5 are Allah declaration of war against kafirs. These Laws of War are permanent and will not end until ALL kafirs are murdered or pay the jizya (submission) tax or convert to Islam. This is criminal. Again and again – this is not God’s law – this is the law of Allah. The true God gave mankind an intelligence to comprehend the universe and a free will to do good or to do evil. God wants all mankind to come to Him of their own free will. God would never use the force of violence or coercion of a tax (or any other means except love, goodness, mercy) to force anyone to believe in Him.
“Fight those who do not believe in Allah” was never spoken by God. “Fight” is a word of violence. A God of Moral Perfection could never order people to fight those who do not believe in Him. God could never write or speak the word “fight” – not even express a thought containing the word “fight”. If God created such a teaching, He would be an immoral being and therefore, no longer Moral Perfection – therefore no longer God.
Verses 9:29 and 9:5 – revealed during the final days of Muhammad’s life – are the two most important and finalized teachings of the Quran. They are Allah’s declaration of permanent war against Jews and Christians until they are murdered, converted to Islam or pay the jizya tax in humiliation and all other kafirs either converted or exterminated. This barbarism is obviously not fitting of a perfect creator. As stated, the true God, having endowed humankind with intelligence, will let his/her creatures follow their own free will to do good or evil. If at all, God would want all human beings to come to his/her path of their own free will. The thought of extracting taxes that too, through such brutality from a section of his/her creatures would never cross God’s mind.
Again, Islam’s God orders Muslims to attack and kill the so-called ‘people of the book’ (i.e. Jews and Christians)’, until they are defeated and submit to the supremacy of Islam and in willing humiliation, pay jizya tax to Muslims. Such is the punishment God renders to people for following, in His own admission, scriptures, which He Himself had sent to them through Christ a few hundred years earlier. Extraction of jizya from dhimmi Jews and Christians is obviously designed for Muslims to enjoy a good life on the labor and sweat of the dhimmis.
God declares that the Peoples of The Book must not only pay the jizya tax but the dhimmis must be “disgraced, humiliated and belittled. They must pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority of Islam and in a state of subjugation- in a state of complete abasement. Muslims are not allowed to honor the people of Dhimmah or elevate them above Muslims, for they are miserable, disgraced and humiliated. The jizya should be collected with belittlement and humiliation.
In his own words, Allah is a barbaric exterminator of his own creatures, a tax-collecting overlord. As stated, extraction of jizya is obviously designed for the Muslims to enjoy a good life on the labor and sweat of the dhimmis. God would never order the killing of Christians and Jews. He would never order them to pay a submission tax. He would never teach that Muslims are superior to any other people – that they have a right to subjugate non-believers – disgrace, humiliate and debase them into submission. This is immoral and evil. If God used the word “Slay” – the word “fight” ordering people to be killed – an instruction to murder – engaged in criminal extortion – engaged in oppression and subjugation – established a system of humiliation and inferiority of kafirs that is dhimmihood then He would not be Moral Perfection and therefore, no longer God.
These verses can come only from a vilest of human being, as evil as Hitler. Obviously such actions and attitudes are not befitting of an omnipotent God of Moral Perfection and pure love for all – regardless of race, religion or creed. As with teaching 9.5 since verse 9:29 is not a teaching of Moral Perfection – the entire Quran is not the word/teaching of God. Islam is false.
FOURTH MOST EVIL TEACHING
VERSE 5:32/5:33 OF EXTERMINATION
“For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty), but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth.”
When President Barrack Obama gave his speech in Cairo, he quoted from Verse 5.32 “whosoever killeth a human being, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind.”
Isn’t this a wonderful teaching from a wonderful God worthy of quotation by the President? Wait a moment while I grab my handkerchief and clear the tears from my eyes. It is just such a beautiful teaching. “whosoever killeth a human being, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind.” Only a true God could create such a teaching of love. Could provide such guidance for mankind. A divine, timeless teaching worthy of a divine, timeless God.
But wait a moment. The President did not quote Verse 5:32 correctly. He left out a most important part of the teaching. God has created in his infinite wisdom two exceptions to his teaching.
“ whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind,” We can killeth a human being for manslaughter and corruption in the earth and it will not be the killing of all mankind.
And what does the exception “corruption in the land” mean. All human beings who do not convert to Islam have declared war on Islam and Allah, are a danger to Allah, and therefore have created corruption in the land and must be murdered.
Verse 5:32 is a teaching of mass extermination and genocide. The President quoted a teaching that justifies the mass murder of 305,000,000 Americans who are non-Muslim.
This is a teaching of madness masquerading as a teaching of love. This is not a teaching of Moral Perfection from a God of Moral Perfection. It is a death warrant issued by the Allah. This is the incarnation of evil. Again, not being of Moral Perfection, the Quran is a book of evil and all Islam is evil. And how are the kafirs to be murdered for making “corruption in the land.”
Read the following Verse 5:33
VERSE 5:33 OF BARBARIC CRUELTY
“The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter theirs will be an awful doom;”
Can you comprehend God ordering people to be “murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides” God ordering people to be horribly tortured. God is ordering people to be crucified? Do you understand the sheer pain and suffering, the extreme torture of crucifying a human being?
GOD AS A MONSTER.
Such horrifying tortures of barbaric nature are unacceptable in any manmade civilized society of our time. How could a God of compassion, love and mercy render such punishment to his/her own creatures? How could one accept such penal codes as the eternal laws of the human society? It is needless to emphasize that such laws cannot come down from the supreme creator of Moral Perfection.
Hitler had people tortured by the SS and then hung alive on meat hooks to be filmed screaming in horrible agony for his later enjoyment. God has humans chopped up for his enjoyment and pleasure. This is not a teaching of Moral Perfection but of moral depravity. Verse 5:33 makes a farce of God’s name. Can one imagine a God killing, murdering and crucifying “those who fight god and his messenger and seek to corrupt the land?” In the first place, how can one fight the almighty creator, under whose control is everything on earth? If God simply wishes, everything in the universe falls in place. God would never order Muslims to kill other human beings, whom he has created with love.
There is nothing more nonsensical as ideas like this, which prophet Muhammad, the purported messenger of Allah, used to cause great human tragedies, such as to murder, torture or banish those who oppose his rule.
The hate and venom pours from verse 5:33 across the pages of the Quran soaking the book in blood. Take your sword and cut human beings into pieces like you would carve up a pig for slaughter. Crucify them. Execute them. Murder them. Again, these are not words of Moral Perfection – these are evil orders that could only be given by an evil incarnate – a Hitler, a Stalin, a Muhammad, not God.
FIFTH MOST EVIL TEACHING
VERSE 65.5: SEX WITH CHILD GIRLS IS SUNNA:
GOD IS A PEDOPHILIA MONSTER.
Quran 65:4 “And those of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the ‘Iddah (prescribed divorce period), if you have doubts (about their periods), is three months, and for those who have no courses [(i.e. they are still immature) their ‘Iddah (prescribed period) is three months likewise, except in case of death] . And for those who are pregnant (whether they are divorced or their husbands are dead), their ‘Iddah (prescribed period) is until they deliver (their burdens) (give birth) and whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make his matter easy for him.”
The most important duty of any species is the care and protection of its young. The prime duty of mankind is to raise children in a safe environment, care and educate them, so they can progress into responsible adults. There is no worse crime than the sexual abuse and exploitation of children. By sexually abusing a child, you totally destroy the child’s self esteem and mentally condemn the child to a life of psychological torment. Having murdered their souls, they become part of the living dead.
As we have already seen, Allah has created two types of Homo sapiens – Muslims and kafirs. Again as previously stated, on the human evolutionary scale, kafirs are sub-humans – they have no humanity and can be murdered, tortured, terrorized etc. with impunity. In Islam, these are not crimes but holy acts deserving of Paradise provided, they are perpetrated on kafirs. While kafir women have no humanity, Muslim women are only slightly higher on the evolutionary scale having evolved to the status of a dog.
Seeking to please the sexual desires of his male Muslims, Allah (the AntiGod) has decreed verse (65.4) that Muslim baby girls can be sexually molested condemning them to a life of sexual and mental anguish. Quran 65.4 sets the prescribed period for divorce. You can marry (and divorce) little girls who have not yet reached menstruation age. As if Islam was not morally depraved enough, we now sink to the true essence of the evil that is Islam: Allah IS A PEDOPHILIA MONSTER.
SIXTH MOST EVIL TEACHING
VERSE 33:50 OF SLAVERY AND RAPE SANCTIONED BY GOD FOR HIS EVIL PROPHET
33.50: “O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those [slaves] whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who fled with you; and a believing woman if she gave herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet desired to marry her — specially for you, not for the (rest of) believers; We know what We have ordained for them concerning their wives and those whom their right hands possess in order that no blame may attach to you; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful”.
As stated before – here, as elsewhere, the term “possessions of the right hand” mean slaves. It is expressly stated that Muhammad’s slaves are given to him by Allah himself to be taken out of his share of the captives in war. It also records the special dispensation given to Muhammad, not available to other Muslims, in the number of wives
This verse 33:50-52 is for Muhammad.
God allows Muhammad to own and rape his slave girls.
The above verses are only a few out of numerous such verses scattered throughout the Quran. What could be more unethical than owning slaves and raping slave girls? God graciously allowed Muslims to own and rape slave girls. Prophet Muhammad himself and his disciples routinely raped their slave girls. Muslim men were permitted unlimited raping of their slaves and even gang rape. Sex slaves were one of the main factors in the spread of Islam. This is the evil that is Islam.
Islam is a morally bankrupt and unethical ideology. Repeating, the reality of Islam previously discussed in this work – slavery, raping slave girls, owning slaves, murdering kafirs, killing apostates of Islam, selling boys and women as trophies of war, looting and pillaging the property of murdered kafirs, sharing the booty obtained from the sale of boys and women and the proceeds of looting with God – Himself, the subjugation and beating of women, martyrdom for those who kill and are killed for God, a depraved Paradise filled with virgins who re – generate as virgins after sex as the sex slaves of the killers of Islam – these are just some samples of utterly unethical and evil teachings in the Quran.
Can you tell us if you find some man in any civilized country who owned slaves let alone raping slaves, what will be your conclusion about that guy?
Can you tell us how a man who Muslims claim was the apostle of God – the prophet of peace – was authorized by God – to own and rape slaves – a God who created evil laws that allowed the ownership of slaves, their purchase and sale, and their sexual abuse?
Islam codifies and legalizes the diabolical evil of rape. God and his messenger Muhammad not only endorsed the institution of slavery but also the raping and sexual molestation of female slaves. The very proposition that God would make rape a divine, holy act and have as his prophet a man who raped, allowed his male followers to attack their female captives is simply outrageous.
Where is the outrage?
Muhammad lived the Quran to the letter. Being a holy man, a symbol of perfection for all mankind, Muhammad obeyed the teachings of Allah. Rape is Sunna – following the ideal behavior of Muhammad. After their battles, the jihadists partook in the pleasure of raping the wives and daughters of the conquered men. There is a total correlation between the Quran and the hadith recording Muhammad acts. One is the mirror image of the other.
SEVENTH MOST EVIL TEACHING
Muslim Wife Beating
The Quran:
Quran 4:34- “Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.”
A Muslim woman is the property of her husband. A Muslim husband has the legal right and religious obligation to beat a wife if she disobeys him, is disloyal to him or simply does not please him. The concept of wife abuse does not exist in Islam. There is no concept of martial rape. A Muslim woman cannot refuse sex with her husband.
According to Islamic law, a husband may strike his wife for any one of the following four reasons:
• She does not attempt to make herself beautiful for him (i.e. “let herself go”)
• She refuses to meet his sexual demands
• She leaves the house without his permission or a “legitimate reason”
• She neglects her religious duties
Any of these are also sufficient grounds for divorce.
EIGHTH MOST EVIL TEACHING
Allah Shares In the Looting And Pillaging Of Murdered Jews Property
Quran 8:41— “And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah, – and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer, – if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Testing, – the Day of the meeting of the two forces. For Allah hath power over all things.”
ENJOY THE BOOTY
After killing, Allah now declares that Muhammad can take the defender’s land, their homes, their money, and lands he never had stepped upon. God can do all things. It’s now your land, your homes, your money. Take it all. Allah is not only a mass-murderer, but also a looter, a robber. Allah’s prototypic teaching is: ‘Attack and kill the kafirs, enslave the women and children and take possession of their property.’
How can acquiring earthly wealth and money through such immoral, barbaric and cruel means come into the equation of God’s teaching? Indeed booty is so important to God that He titles an entire Surah in the Quran; Surah 8: “The Spoils of War Booty.” This Surah was created to prevent fighting among Muslims for booty.
NINTH MOST EVIL TEACHING
VERSE 24:2 ALLAH IS A BARBARIC BARBARIAN
Adultery and fornication must be punished by flogging with a hundred stripes
Quran 24:2 “The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication, – flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by God, if ye believe in God and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.”
This verse leaves no other option for Muslims who believe in the divine origin of the Quran. It specifically says they must not have mercy on people who have committed adultery or fornication, and that this brutal punishment of 100 lashes is “prescribed by God.” However, since other verses in the Quran specifically allow men to have sex slaves, the horrible crime of serial rape against a non-Muslim woman is not considered adultery or fornication and would not be punished if the woman is considered a concubine.
No God would ever teach 24.2. To beat someone with 100 lashes is barbaric. Allah is a barbarian. No God would ever state “flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by God, if ye believe in God and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.”
No God would ever write – “Let not compassion move you in their case”. Stating these words as God’s words is evil and repugnant. As we have already demonstrated – A God of Moral Perfection is pure mercy and compassion. God is all mercy and all compassion. He would never allow anyone to beat any other human being – not with a whip, not with a stick, not even with a toothbrush.
No God would ever speak – ” in a matter prescribed by God, if ye believe in God and the Last Day” to force someone to put aside his natural human feelings of compassion – do it because I God have prescribed it – no matter what your own personal feelings of mercy may be – do it if you believe in Me and the Last day. This is truly evil – commit a brutal evil act to prove you believe in Me. God would never order anyone to commit evil – to go against what he knows in his heart to be morally wrong.
You tell me what kind of person could flog a woman 100 times and not be an immoral brute. For God to force someone to commit this evil is truly evil incarnate.
You tell me what kind of barbaric, barbarian God would be to order the whipping of a human being.
“let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.” Not only brutality flog but do it in front of Believers to make sure, they get the message. God wrote these words. God spoke this teaching. Who can believe in such immoral nonsense?
No normal, rational human being can believe that God would ever utter Quran 24:2.
Quran 24.2 is not the word or the teaching of God. It is the word and teaching of Allah (the AntiGod). Allah is the AntiGod of pure hate – a brutal barbarian without mercy, without compassion. But of course this teaching is not from Allah – since Allah never existed. The brutal, barbaric, barbarian – the evil mind that produced this teaching is Muhammad.
WHY QURAN 24:2 IS NOT THE WORD/TEACHING OF GOD AND THEREFORE THE ENTIRE QURAN IS NOT THE WORDS/TEACHINGS OF GOD
As has been shown – A God of Moral Perfection is the very essence of pure love. The very existence of God is pure love. If God is not the embodiment of pure love then God does not exist. God has never spoken one violent word. If God spoke just one word of violence – God would no longer be Moral Perfection and therefore, no longer God. God is not a violent being. God is the very essence of non-violence. If God committed just one act of violence ordered an act of violence be committed, he would no longer be Moral Perfection and therefore, no longer God.
Quran 24.2 is not Moral Perfection, It is a hateful, violent, brutal, heartless, immoral, evil teaching of an immoral, brutal, hateful, violent, heartless, evil, barbarian AntiGod – Allah. Therefore, stating again for the countless time – the entire Quran is not the word/teachings of God and Islam is fraudulent. Although we are stating and re-stating the morally obvious in this book, and presenting teachings enmass, we must continue to state “Quran is not the word/teachings of God and Islam is fraudulent” to expose and destroy without question the propaganda that the Quran is the divine word of God, Islam is a religion of peace and Muhammad – the prophet of mercy and peace.
TENTH MOST EVIL TEACHING
There is a gigantic tie for the tenth most evil teaching. There are 3,990 teachings of the Quran that are equally evil. All these teachings are immoral depravity. Not being words/teachings of Moral Perfection – the Quran is not Moral Perfection and therefore not from God, therefore Allah is not God and Muhammad is no prophet. Following is a very small sample of further Quranic depravity.
OF TORTURE
Quran 22:19-22 “fight and slay the Pagans, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem” “for them (the unbelievers) garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods”
OF SLAVERY
Quran 2.178: “O you who believe! retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain, the free for the free, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female, but if any remission is made to any one by his (aggrieved) brother, then prosecution (for the bloodwit) should be made according to usage, and payment should be made to him in a good manner; this is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy; so whoever exceeds the limit after this he shall have a painful chastisement.”
You kill one of my slaves, females or free man and I’ll kill one of your slaves, females or free man.
OF BARBARIC CRUELTY
5:38 “Cut off the hands of thieves, whether they are male or female, as punishment for what they have done-a deterrent from God: God is almighty and wise.” 39 “But if anyone repents after his wrongdoing and makes amends, God will accept his repentance: God is most forgiving and merciful. (Haleem)”
OF AN EYE FOR AN EYE
Quran 5:45 “And We prescribed for them therein: The life for the life, and the eye for the eye, and the nose for the nose, and the ear for the ear, and the tooth for the tooth, and for wounds retaliation. But whoso forgoeth it (in the way of charity) it shall be expiation for him. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed such as wrong–doers.”
In Islam, an eye for an eye means an eye for an eye.
OF BEHEADING
Quran 8.12 “Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”
There are 75 teachings of beheading in Quran.
OF SLAUGHTER IN THE LAND
Quran-8:67 “It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise.” (Allah insisting Prophet to kill all the prisoners, and should not keep any surrendered prisoners alive until He (Prophet) occupied entire Arabia.)
Being filled not with one word of immoral imperfection but thousands of words and teachings of immoral depravity, the Quran is not the word of God. and Muhammad being a criminal who murdered thousands was no prophet and therefore Islam is EVIL IN THE NAME OF GOD. ISLAM IS THE GREATEST CRIME AND SIN EVER COMMITTED BY MAN AGAINST GOD.
Agree with you here buddy–Islam is quite wicked

I so look forward to reading more of your articles! I love what you put about what you are doing and being unapologetic about it, that mixed with passion is a “spiritual zeal” that seems to be lacking today in some circles (not all, but definitely on the rise 😦 ) so it is great to see that.

Hi SlimJim, wanted to discuss some things with you privately. Hoping you could email me. Thank you.
Churches have been deceived about how to be tax exempt. Are you aware that in 3 states that were part of the original 13 colonies it is illegal to become a 501 C3 church? The tax exemption is Constitutionally implicit if not explicit for all American churches.
To become a 501 C3 you must become unequally yoked with the government. The government will always attempt to impose secular laws upon you such ACA. Banker and lawyers politicians love it but it has been and will become a tool to control you. Only churches are prohibited from political speech to remain tax exempt.
Do some research and drop this yoke of bondage with this fallen world ASAP.

Hey brothers, I’d like to have you guys review some books I’ve published. If you’re up to it, I can email you the PDF proofs. These books are apologetical in nature, and are, I think, of contemporary relevance.
Let me know, if you’re up to it.
Email me at –
I very much appreciate your work here!
Thanks!

Recently came across some links focused on the Puritans. One of the articles concerned the Puritans regulations for worship.They were much concerned about profane worship. Nadab and Abihu did not do anything that God directly forbade. They, like many churches today, simply decided to worship God in a manner pleasing to themselves. This is the same as the sin of Cain.
One of the top reasons for choosing a church, today, is how good the Christianized rock and roll worship concert is. Just because it is pleasing to people does not mean that it is pleasing to God, which should be of greater concern. Applause is fine in a concert venue but how is applause showing reverent worship to God?
You brothers are interesting keep up the good work responding to Bible contradictions

Gents, I’d like to get in touch. Can you shoot me an email? Thanks
Hello!
I found you on Amazon.
I’d love to connect and collaborate with you (somehow!)
My work outlines practical and creative ideas inspired by love in the quest for wellbeing.
In Fit for Joy, I wrote about the paradox of two realities that don’t match: physical health and mental chaos. The idea was to start a conversation about the “true” meaning of health. A PDF copy is attached.
As a podcast host, I am in search of meaningful truths, ideas, and insights about mental and spiritual health that can awaken new ways of thinking, leading us toward a new way of being — Being Well.”
Would you be interested in any or a combination of:
– A podcast interview: A Quest for Well-Being
– Guest blogging
– Book review exchange
– Book review
– Affiliate Link
Much Love,

Good blog. Just learn about regeneration recently do you know about it? A new heart is the gift of God’s Spirit alone (John 3:3–5), and God promises His grace to His elect, though we cannot say that God always regenerates those who are baptized but haven’t trusted in Christ.
Your book reviews are very helpful
What’s up?
I found this article very interesting…please read!
Do you remember the blockbuster hit film The Matrix that was released in 1999? You may not know this, but it has deep spiritual implications concerning the times we are living in and Bible prophecy.
It tells a story of how these “agents” are trying to turn us into machines. We are closer then ever before for this to become a reality when they cause us to receive an implantable microchip in our body during a time when physical money will be no more.
You may have seen on NBC news concerning the implantable RFID microchip that some people are getting put in their hand to make purchases, but did you know this microchip matches perfectly with prophecy in the Bible?
“He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…
You also may have heard of the legendary number “666” that people have been speculating for possibly thousands of years on what it actually means. This article shares something I haven’t seen before, and I don’t think there could be any better explanation for what it means to calculate 666. This is no hoax. Very fascinating stuff!
…Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666″ (Revelation 13:16-18 NKJV).
GOD is sending out His end time warning:
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name'” (Revelation 14:9-11).
In the Islamic religion they have man called the Mahdi who is known as their messiah of whom they are waiting to take the stage. There are many testimonies from people online who believe this man will be Barack Obama who is to be the biblical Antichrist based off dreams they have received. I myself have had strange dreams about him like no other person. So much so that I decided to share this information.
He came on stage claiming to be a Christian with no affiliation to the Muslim faith…
“In our lives, Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith. But there have been times where my faith has been questioned — by people who don’t know me — or they’ve said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing,” – Barack Obama
…but was later revealed by his own family members that he indeed is a devout Muslim.
So what’s in the name? The meaning of someones name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface…
“And He (Jesus) said to them (His disciples), ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven'” (Luke 10:18).
In the Hebrew language we can uncover the meaning behind the name Barack Obama.
Barack, also transliterated as Baraq, in Hebrew is: lightning
baraq – Biblical definition:
From Strongs H1299; lightning; by analogy a gleam; concretely a flashing sword: – bright, glitter (-ing, sword), lightning. (Strongs Hebrew word H1300 baraq baw-rawk’)
Barak ‘O’bamah, The use of bamah is used to refer to the “heights” of Heaven.
bamah – Biblical definition:
From an unused root (meaning to be high); an elevation: – height, high place, wave. (Strongs Hebrew word H1116 bamah baw-maw’)
The day following the election of Barack Obama (11/04/08), the winning pick 3 lotto numbers in Illinois (Obama’s home state) for 11/5/08 were 666.
Obama was a U.S. senator for Illinois, and his zip code was 60606.
Seek Jesus while He may be found…repent, confess and forsake your sins and trust in the savior! Jesus says we must be born again by His Holy Spirit to enter the kingdom of God…God bless!
I like this blog’s apologetics resources
Is this a blog by one person with three names?
Hi Editor!
I am Prime Vance from Heroes Bible Trivia Game(https://heroesbibletrivia.org). I couldn’t find a contact page so I commented just like others. Please delete if this is not allowed. First of all, thank you for putting this awesome website full of Biblical content.
I’d like to make an inquiry if it would be possible for us to partner. We officially launched Heroes 2 The Bible Game last March 25, 2021. Learn while you have fun, this is the motto of Heroes 2! On this app, designed for smartphones, the most prominent Bible characters ask you interactive questions about their lives. The game was completely for free with no ads, as a tool to curb secularism and Bible illiteracy. Play with your family and friends of all ages! I’d like to kindly inquire what would it take for this app to be featured on your website or even a simple mention. We hope to change how people think about bible study especially in the age of online gaming. Also, it would be an awesome way to spend extra time during this pandemic.
If you would kindly consider this it would mean the world to me and our team if you let us know the requirements of getting featured. Also, if there is anything we can do to return the favor please let us know.
Warmest,
Prime

Great I have been following your blog.
I love your approach to gospel.
I am looking for your email or any contact my e-mail is eviemutumbu89@gmail.com
I love this… I love it when I get information that can spare me from being further away from GOD but to find out it’s something I do all day and never even thought twice if it was a sin or not just blows my mind…. I’ve got ALOT of work ahead of me now lol but one day I’m gonna be in the presence of GOD ALMIGHTY and I hope I see all y’all there too!
What is your opinion of TGC? They’re perfectly willing to speak up about others issues the world is sympathetic to, “to be winsome”, but unwilling to talk about the sinfulness of abhorrent sexualization of children, or the dehumanization of all abortion/murder of children in the womb. They don’t seem very prophetic at all.
Good apologetics and theological materials for Christians. Great for Christians. I have hope we can trust the Lord to complete the good work he started in them. 🙌🏼
If I hadn’t experienced the gospel (and in a way, so that I finally understood it!) I would have been lost in my wickedness and conscious rebellion – and of course I would have deserved it.
But I have experienced grace through the gospel.
Without the love of God in Jesus – which I saw in Jesus – I probably would not have been able to convert to God
better to assist or guide the nonbeliever to change his course, than to crash it….. 😞
Happy Reformation Day!Isn’t it wonderful that “In Christ” every spiritual blessing is ours now by virtue of our union with him, including Justification?
I love to read the posts here and watch creation believing folks take apart unbelievable worldview.
Im concerned about so many pushing this Aamaic propaganda.
I was triggered by Bible maps intentionally labeling ancient Israel as Palistine, which is a lie. Actualy an antisemitic lie.
(I only have a high school education. Excuse my poor spelling and gramitical errors.)
If Aamaic was indeed the most popular spoken language during the earthly life of Jesus,wouldnt Pontius Pilot be aware of that fact? Yet he wrote “Jesus King of the Jews” in Hebrew, Latin and Greek but not Aaramic. odd that
The Hebrew rioters calmed down when Paul spoke to them in Hebrew, the Holy Language.
Why would anybody want to believe that the, King of the Jews, would speak and preach in a foreign unholy language?
I do know that Islamic and secular forces are doing their level best to convince the world that the modern Jews have no legitimate claim on Gods land.
They even try to prove that Russian Jews are not really genitic descendants.
Even aspects of Reformed theology, and many others sects and denominations, seek to replace Israel with the church.
Zech. 12:10 absolutly refutes that assertion.
Paraphased When they, when Jesus returns, look and see his wounds that their ancestors did by piercing Him….
If they are not the genetic covenant descendants, that prophecy is a lie.
Gods eternal Covenent with Abraham,Issac and Jacobs descendants is unconditional and irrevocable.
Thank you for your invaluable efforts to defend the faith and for being just about the only ones who keep track of the number of Islamic attacks.
Hello! I just recently posted what I believe is a thorough, yet concise, introduction to presuppositional apologetics. I’d be honored if you guys posted the link on your blog to get it out to a wider audience.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks.
