It Matters to God
Re — Naked Bible 126: Ezekiel 18 I believe Heiser chases too many rabbits in this podcast. It’s not as complicated as he makes it out to be. How many times did God miraculously spare His people in the OT? … Continue reading

Jesus the Hebrew Mystic

No Original Sin
Re: Paul, Original Sin, and Rabbinic Theology It’s not as if the Hebrew people were poor, benighted bumpkins who never really understood God, and that somehow only after the church embraced western rationalism did the truth finally come out. If … Continue reading

Not Flying Saucers
Ref: Naked Bible 112: Ezekiel 1 & Ezekiel 1 PDF I assure you that this really does require the companion PDF from Heiser. This is an academic study on the imagery of the Ancient Near East (ANE) in general and … Continue reading

Are You Deceived?
Can the Devil read your mind? Scripture is loaded with references to God knowing our thoughts, both human thinking at large and in detail with you personally. You might wonder whether He has granted that power to any of His … Continue reading

Liberalism Rests on Fantasy
It was good timing that Ron Unz chose to share with us this bit of clear reasoning about individualism and the collapse of society in the West. Not that we agree with the answers suggested by the author (Jef Costello) … Continue reading
Leviticus 19
