After a discussion with my 15 year old yesterday, I think I finally have some resolution with Buddhism, so I am going to share some thoughts on that. As you know if you’ve read my previous blogs, I believe that Word of God encompasses much more than the incarnation of the Word we see in the birth of Jesus. I believe that God reveals Himself in the expansion of thought, not in the limiting of the Word to what was written 2000 years ago. Continue reading Thought and Buddhism
It’s funny to look back in time and see how far humans have come technologically, but how we basically still walk along the same thought footpaths that previous generations have walked when it comes to religion and philosophy. Continue reading Faith and Reason
A few weeks ago I posted a blog based on a quote from Jesus, “No one is good – except God alone.” In light of what just happened in my home state of Florida at a club called the Pulse, I want to expound a little on how I believe that statement should shape our view of the world.

Heaven isn’t really something we have a lot of information on. The Bible mentions it, but there aren’t many specifics. Jesus mentions why that it is when he speaks with Nicodemus in the Gospel of John, Chapter 3, Verses 12 and 13: Continue reading Heaven
I went back to refresh my memory on the controversy of Jesus’ divinity. I thought that the issue really wasn’t argued that much anymore. Boy was I wrong! There are entire books still coming out on the subject. Continue reading Revelation 12 and the Divinity of Jesus
I look back on my near half century on this planet and think about all the mean and selfish things I’ve done and I know I haven’t been a good person. There was a lot of selfishness, pride, lust and drunkenness and, though God is working on me, those sins still keep popping up. Continue reading No One Is Good – Except God Alone
The subject of the elect, a form of predestination, is a difficult subject that has faced Christians for at least hundreds of years. It is in scripture and cannot be ignored. Calvin took the strictest interpretation to heart and taught that only the elect would go to heaven and those not chosen since the dawn of time would suffer damnation. Continue reading The Elect and Free Will
In 2000, I was reading a work by St. Thomas Aquinas dealing with progression in God and I was also delving into the concepts of Einstein’s theories of relativity. Additionally, I was puzzled with the concept of the Trinity at the time. There’s nothing better than a nice relaxing hobby, right? Out of this mix of ideas and through prayer, study and thought in a search for truth, I developed the theory of Trinity based on God’s relationship to time. Continue reading Trinity
Many of us, possibly through our own experience, have observed people who had seemed to fervently believe in God fall away or even reject this belief. Continue reading Once Saved Always Saved?
To be upfront, I am not someone with any claim to theological or spiritual authority. If you should happen upon these words, the only thing I can say in their defense is that they come from over twenty years of an earnest search for truth through prayer, study and thought.
