intro to paul v the platonists
The Apostle Paul wrote his epistles between 50 and 60 AD. By this time Platonism had already been infused into both secular culture and popular religion. Both Paul’s writing and the writings of the other Apostles reveal a world entrenched in Platonic philosophy. Paul establishes a stern warning against the philosophy of the day Continue reading

matthew was the first gospel written
Mark is not the earliest Gospel. Mark was written during the waning of the Hebrew mission and the rise of the diaspora and Greek mission. It was written as a Readers Digest version of Matthew, shedding very Hebrew centric ideas in favor of more broadly accepted ideas. Continue reading

the shadow government workforce
In FY 2010 (Oct 1, 2009 through Sep 30, 2010), the Federal Government spent more than $44 billion on management support services. In laymens terms, these are contract employees, sitting next to and indistinguishable from government employees. Guestimating about $100k average per contract employee (probably a low estimate), this would mean that contract employees add another 440,000 (upper estimate) on top of the official government worker numbers (federal = 4,443,000).

the book of life of the lamb slain
Calvinists who maintain that God is timeless or eternal (in the sense of being above time) sometimes point to Revelation for evidence. They consistently state throughout their sermons that all events are forever happening at all times in God’s mind. Christ is forever crucified, being crucified, in God’s frame of reference. They point to Revelation 13:8 as support for this… Continue reading
