We have another question about why we suggest getting married is a really bad idea for Americans right now. American women, broadly speaking, are impossible. Yes, there are gems out there, just a few, and if you find one guys, grab her. But be careful, because there are plenty of them that will play head…

His Promises Fail Not
Okay, so having invited questions, I got a good one regarding the issue of our coming tribulation. As always, I can share only what I have in my heart. I’m convinced this is not the Great Tribulation. It looks pretty ugly, for sure, but keep in mind the position of our Radix Fidem community teachers:…
Hell and the Abyss
The Hebrew people had a symbolic cosmology. They didn’t pretend to know any facts about the universe as the fabric of reality, only the symbolism God had revealed to clarify what had been the common assumptions across the Ancient Near East. In particular, Hebrew writing is very thin on the afterlife. It’s not that Hebrews…
Justice: Restoration versus Punishment
When you begin to dig deeper into the biblical value system, it makes cultural and social evil more obvious. In the Bible, torment is a mark of Satan. Biblical justice aims at building and maintaining social stability based on God’s moral character. Thus, the primary concern in catching and judging sinners is removing the threat…
Lots of Surprises
Temper your expectations by moral truth. Do you see the spirit of madness in the world today? Nothing Israel does makes any sense unless you understand the vast ocean of hatred and contempt the Jewish leadership has for everyone else. They even spitefully use their own Jewish people like canon fodder. They want the whole…
The Practice of Neighboring
Psalm 119 celebrates the revelation of God. It refers to the Word as the ultimate privilege, the freedom to live as God made us. It allows us to walk away from bondage to darkness. When David used the term “the Law” it was a reference to the Ancient Near Eastern conception of law as the…
Not Just a Talent
In my post on arrogance a few days ago, I didn’t mean to imply that I hadn’t lived with arrogance in my family. Rather, the arrogance manifested primarily because it was an inherited trait across my whole family. And the reason it manifested so consistently is that there were precious few among my relatives who…
Never Let You Go
Let’s review first principles: This world is fallen. It’s not real; it’s an artificial construct, a prison for eternal beings. We are the only ones here who can’t see what’s real. It’s Satan’s turf. This world was made for him, and humans chose to submit to him, so here we are in his realm. The…
Like Married Couples
It’s a proverb of the Radix Fidem community: Don’t take yourself too seriously. Arrogance and fear are a married couple. Generally, arrogance is rooted in fear (except in the case of psychopaths). Fear is its own thing, but arrogance is one human response to fear, depending on personality and character, though it can also be…
