My mission and calling is to bring people closer to God’s ways on this earth. A major part has always been shifting from our pagan cultural background to a more biblical perspective. Writers like Pageau, Heiser, and others we will review on this blog have added a strong background to help us move in the…

Pipe Dream from Hell
It’s a false choice to suggest that we must choose between left and right. The western logical matrix of political and economic theory excludes what God revealed as His glorious will in this fallen world. Today, I’m going to pick on libertarians in particular. I’m not referring so much to the Libertarian Party (capital “L”)…
My Sources
Someone asked me about the sources of my education. It started with an evangelical college. It turned out we had some very sharp professors who alerted me to things like Hebrew symbolism and the Jewish Messianic Expectations. We had visiting speakers who said things like, “The Bible is an eastern book, not western.” I had…
Institution versus People
If you are looking for political entertainment, keep an eye on the Catholic Church. The current Pope is provoking a lot of resistance. When he finally ruled it was okay to bless same-sex marriages, a large number of conservative priests of all ranks began making noise about it. This will not end quietly. It could…
Qualified Trust
A recent article posted to Lew Rockwell’s site is very enlightening about human nature. Americans assume they understand human nature from a very narrow sample, bringing to the task a whole range of biases. We assume the rest of the world is just like us, when the vast majority of the human race has never…
A Better Standard
Genuine faith is beyond words. We should be striving for a gospel commitment that uses whatever culture exists, but does not depend on it. What mankind can generate is just the context. Faith comes from God. We are dealing with a paradox here. It is our duty to understand as much as possible the context…
It Won’t Be Missed
One of the greatest heresies is the often unspoken assumption that the gospel message depends on us. If we do not organize and expend all resources in missionary activity, then the world will die and go to Hell. Western church leadership (Big Eva in particular) imagines Christianity as a matter of human conquest. It is…
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…
Enemies of the Gospel
I keep bumping into this. People who should know better struggle to understand the Hebrew perspective on things. One of the lies peculiar to the West is the notion that the natural world does not care about you as an individual. Well, all of Creation cares the way God cares. This is more a lie…
He Will Have His Way
The following items are worth discussing, but none of them amount to a full blog post. 1. Kevin MacDonald explains how Jews dominate. If you are curious about that, his explanation is about as good as you’ll find. It’s a mixture of four primary traits, mostly a matter of DNA and selective breeding from their…
