There are no secrets. There are only a lot of wrong questions. You’ll notice that in the latest Radix Fidem Bible lesson it almost appears that Paul is dodging the sarcastic questions. It’s not because they are sarcastic. The questions are inherently false, sarcasm or not. The answers are not available to flesh. And if…

Faith in the Old Testament
In Chapter 1 of Heiser’s Demons, he mentions that Scripture itself leaves us hanging on some issues. From reading the Old Testament, we get the impression that Israelis who knew the Scriptures were unsure of their fates, both in this world and the next. The promises are vague on the latter, in particular, but natural…
The Utter Impossibility of Liberty
Someone asked me about the various political agendas, and I admit it’s very confusing. That’s intentional. The various powers aligned against Christ and His kingdom of hearts are all committed to confusing the issue as much as possible. From a biblical viewpoint, the oldest agenda is that of the Jewish elite. Once Christ dissolved the…
Spiritual Warfare Killshot
It’s not a question of having divine prerogatives; it’s the use of them. The middle chapters of 1 Corinthians manifests Paul’s attempt to teach the Corinthian church about the “coin of the realm” in the Kingdom of Heaven: sacrifice. It’s not what you have, but how you use it. Over those chapters, Paul emphasizes different…
The Big Takedown
I would have thought it wasn’t necessary to state that the Radix Fidem path rejects Thomism (the philosophy of Thomas Aquinas). But I believe a bigger problem is that most people have no idea how influential Thomas Aquinas was and still is in Christian religion today. Thomism remains the foundation of most Protestant theology, even…
Jesus Is Still Hebrew
Let’s clarify some things. I’ve said that Western Civilization is inherently evil. I’m hardly the only one saying so. Most of the time, such comments point out the path of how we got here. We point to the mixture of classical Greco-Roman Civilization colliding with Germanic Tribal culture. To a large degree, the existing Church…

Handling Human Remains
This week’s Radix Fidem community Bible lesson points out something that most Christians today just don’t get. First, you should understand that the current series of Bible lessons are aimed at showing the continuity between the Old and New Testament. Jesus came to correct and complete Moses. He showed how some parts of Moses were…
Everybody Has Plans
The discussion of tribulation is not a matter of what we expect, but how to face whatever the Lord is doing. I won’t tell you what to do. I’m not even going to tell you what’s coming, because I’m sure to be wrong about some of it, at least. Rather, I’m going to suggest to…
Hair and Veils
I’ve read somewhere a bit of speculation that Paul’s comments in 1 Corinthians 11 about hair and coverings were related to the Greco-Roman medical mythology of the time. That’s patently silly. Paul was referencing the Old Testament, and the Hebrews had no such notions about hair interacting with semen. It’s really not that complex, though…
