Christian V Atheist Evangelism

It really is amazing to observe Christian Weston Democracies giving way to atheism  when atheists in atheist countries like China are clamouring for Bibles and giving up atheism for Christianity, and still many more wanting and waiting to know about biblical Christianity! Despite religious persecution in China, it’s Christian population increased by 500,000 in 2009 [...]

The Ideal Marriage: Romance Into Old Age?

Dr. Janice Shaw Crouse writes of romance that begins with the young and blossoms into old age, ‘until death do us part.’ Says Janice Crouse:
“Romance … in old age? Young people snicker at the thought. At best, they write it off as the childish sentimentality and clouded memory of doddering old age
“But what if … [...]

All Things Will Be Made New

Final Setting - # 5.Why the need of the Second Coming of Jesus? This is not the first time I have been to three funerals in one year - two of which are family, an older brother and a younger sister. Wootton Bassett is very familiar having lived there for 10 years - and how [...]

The Meaning Of Christmas

Setting # 4.Carrying from my last post, Seeing Queen Elizabeth  in different settings, the informal as well as in splendour and majesty, very royal, leads me to think of another very surprising scene. Christmas time reminds us of Someone more special than Queen Elizabeth II. Thirty years down his road of life he was unrecognised. We [...]

The Episcopal Church In The USA Going Towards Demise

The Episcopal Church is winding down in America. Winding down in numbers: from 3.5 million in 1965 to 2 million today - “that’s a 43 percent drop from a year when the United States had about half as many people as it does today” - on the rolls that is. Attendance figures are considered to [...]

The Two Sides To Christmas

First - there is this take on last minute shopping. Charles Wesley is said to have written over 6000 hymns - this humorous adaptation of one of his most well-known hymns might represent the reality of Christmas in our Western world.
Come, Thou Unexpected Jesus (with apologies to Charles Wesley)
Come, Thou unexpected Jesus,

Was Jesus A Real Person?

It was not what I expected to see on the Daily Mail Website - and especially on ‘Best of The Web’ section. While not a subject he engages in it is a doubt that Dawkins implies in TGD, ‘which he would, wouldn’t he!’ But in this era of faith and science conflict it is a [...]

St Teresa’s Relics & Luther & The Reformation

St Teresa’s UK itinerary ends at Westminster tomorrow. I was saying in the last post that it is nearly 500 years since relics and the selling of indulgences split Europe in two, Catholic and Protestant. The 16th Century Reformation resulted from one man’s spiritual struggle, Martin Luther, over how we are put right with God.

Jesus’ Murder Squad!

I’ve been reading some bad news about what is happening to Christians in Iran  in the wake of the current political unrest. “Pressure on Iranian Christians is growing just as foreign powers are being blamed for rioting that broke out due to the electoral fraud. The argument on the influence of foreign powers is well [...]

Dawkins & Superstition III

A Resume of Martin Luther’s Change of Heart and How We are Put Right With God
In my immediate previous posts one and two I responded to Professor Dawkins’ view of what he understands as ‘a personal experience with God’ (TGD, p. 87-92), with my own contrary views. Here I will finish with my view [...]
