For all my blather here about getting the right understanding of the Bible, I can tell you that it won’t change your eternal destiny. All it does is help you get the most out of your life here. Orthodoxy will not save your soul. If anything, it’s more the reverse: Spiritual birth puts you in…

Childish Shortcuts
I’ve gotten some more questions and comments. Most of you understand how I link the Temptation in the Garden with the Temptation in the Wilderness and with John’s comments about the three basic temptations. “When the woman saw that the tree produced fruit that was good for food, was attractive to the eye, and was…
Operational Objectives
What’s the whole point of all this elohim opposition? We all agree that any discussion of the divine council of elohim is necessarily tentative, at best. All we have are parables and symbolic language. It’s not aimed at answering our questions, but at giving us sufficient knowledge to draw a roadmap that keeps us at…
Dispie Inquisition
Keeping in mind the doctrine of the divine council and the Devil’s role as a major figure in Jehovah’s opposition, I hold to a minority opinion on what will happen to the modern State of Israel. This is not a conviction in itself, but the net result of several convictions. The Devil’s use of the…
Sad Summary
Having said all of that, perhaps you can understand why I would suggest the following. The human elite seeking to destroy the US are not all on the same page, at least regarding the preferred method for this destruction. There are an awful lot of folks determined to get the US into a war with…
How I See It
So, Elon Musk is taking on the ADL. I’m praying he succeeds. It’s not that I’m such a fan of Musk, but I despise the ADL. Let me remind you: Radix Fidem is not a movement. It’s a community; it’s collegial. In the strictest terms, there’s no leadership. We have a few men who suggest…
Your Government Hates You
Gary Barnett throws a bomb: The Government Slaughter in Lahaina: Maui Revisited! I can tell you that I don’t support every item he cites in this article, but I do support his thesis. That’s because I have seen first-hand how government officials are blithely willing to kill and destroy for secret agendas. It happened often…
Believe or Don’t
This is a good time to mention righteous skepticism and cynicism. We need to be skeptical about claims from western religious folks trying to ride the Indiana Jones myth, and be cynical enough about people’s motives. The example I’ll use is the recent noise about an archaeological site that has gotten some press notice in…
They Are Lying
Apparently, the truth is so earth-shattering that it bears restating more clearly for some readers. As a human on this earth, you are fallen. The mere fact of mortality itself is all the proof we need. God did not design us this way; this is a curse applied after we were created. We were not…
The Image
The Old Testament Wisdom Literature paints the picture of God’s man. He cares like a shepherd, willing to sacrifice a lot for others, particularly those who just don’t understand, any better than sheep understand the shepherd’s motives and all the stuff he has to juggle to keep them safe. The wise man is marked by…
