Melchizedek Part 1

Posted on July 25, 2026 by ehurst

Posted on July 13, 2026 by ehurst

I received a few questions I felt were worth sharing. Though I’m not a fan of either TPUSA or Candace Owens, from where I stand, it seems that the dispute stems from some senseless secrecy. TPUSA has been hijacked and … Continue reading →

The Gift of Truth

Posted on July 8, 2026 by ehurst

The word “unchurch” has been used by several different organizations. I wasn’t aware of any of them when I decided to steal the idea of “uncola” and apply it to church. I wrote up my concept 20 years ago; my … Continue reading →

Burning in Hell?

Posted on May 30, 2026 by ehurst

Spiritual Graduation

Posted on May 4, 2026 by ehurst

Sorry, but I don’t have the footnotes for this tidbit from way back in my college days: I recall reading somewhere about an exchange between Hebrew and Greek philosophers. This was before Alexander the Great. In their discussion, the Hebrew … Continue reading →

Latter Day Idolatry

Posted on March 7, 2026 by ehurst

It Matters to God

Posted on January 31, 2026 by ehurst

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 →
