https://pixabay.com/photos/figure-king-david-king-david-harp-510612/ In today's article, I want to take a look at the supposed lineage of Jesus all the way back to King David, the same David that supposedly slew Goliath in the Old Testament (Hmm, I need to break that one down, too). The Bible gives us this lineage in detail in the Book of … Continue reading The Son of David
That is the million-dollar question, isn't it? The basic literalist and fundamentalist is a firm believer in the entire Bible being completely literal and the inerrant word of God. Is that true? What do you believe? If you are here, my guess is that you already know the answer or you are on the edge … Continue reading The Return of the Messiah – Is it a Thing?

If you are not familiar with the writings of Josephus, you will be by the end of this article.

Salvation simplified.
I often hear people say that they want nothing at all to do with the Bible due to negative past dealings with the church, its harsh judgment, hypocrisy and the like. It saddens me to some degree because I know that these texts were never meant to be read literally but spiritually. And I can't … Continue reading Lost in Translation
We are heading back to the insanity of the misunderstood Old Testament today in our latest venture down the rabbit hole of religion and everything that needs to be unpacked therein. In this specific story, Ezekiel is given the task of planning out the siege of Jerusalem. But to do this he needs God's help, … Continue reading This is not your Mama’s bread…
I don't know about you, but prior to my research, my mental imagery of a tree hugger was something like the following: I was so ignorant about them that I just chalked it up to "nature people" that smoked a lot of weed and sang "kumbaya" around a campfire.

Isn't that a beautiful sight? From a literal perspective, Jesus is really in his element and doing what he does best: loving and helping people. The fundamentalist of Christianity today is a far cry from this scene. They have fallen prey to ignorance, hate, division, fear-mongering and misguided blind political faith just to name a … Continue reading The Miracle of the Feeding of the Five Thousand
