My Philistia Proposal Advances

Last updated on: May 23, 2019 at 8:37 am   By Kermit Zarley

About 1.5 million Palestinians live in the UN designated “occupied territory” of the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967. Nearly half that many Jews live there in what they call “Judea and Samaria.” That is because the West Bank curiously corresponds almost exactly to ancient Judea and Samaria before the Romans extinguished the nation of Israel in 1935 following the Second Jewish Revolt. The UN also designates the Jewish settlements in the West Bank as illegal according to... Read more

Should the Catholic Church Abolish the Priesthood?

Last updated on: June 18, 2019 at 9:55 pm   By Kermit Zarley

As everyone knows by now, the reputation of the Roman Catholic Church has been suffering serious decline due to thousands of predator, pedophile priests who preyed on young boys in the Church, especially altar boys. And perhaps worst of all, the Church hierarchy could not be trusted to clean this mess up. Instead, the clergy implemented a systematic coverup of this growing problem that existed for decades. But the tide began to change recently when governments and courts of nations... Read more

Why the Book Is Not Dead

Last updated on: May 19, 2019 at 6:10 pm   By Kermit Zarley

They say some people never retire. I guess that includes me. I do two things since my retirement from the PGA Tour in 2005. I write theological books, and I invent things. I’ve now written seven such books. See them at kermitzarley.com. As for inventing, I have invented a new book format called “a self-supporting book.” I have a trademark for it called Triangle Book. My website for it is at atrianglebook.com. But I’m in the process of redoing this... Read more

Koepka Wins PGA Championship Again

Last updated on: May 19, 2019 at 4:44 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Defending champion Brooks Koepka just won the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black Course in Farmington, New York. He bested his best friend on the PGA Tour, Dustin Johnson, by two strokes. It was Koepka’s fourth major win in the past two years. It also vaulted him above Dustin Johnson to become the #1 pro golfer in World Rankings. For a while, it looked easy for Koepka. He started the day with a whopping seven stroke lead on Johnson and two... Read more

Koepka Still Leads by Seven at PGA

Last updated on: May 18, 2019 at 8:28 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Brooks Koepka shot an even par 70 today in the third round of the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black Course to keep his seven stroke lead with 12-under par garnered the first two rounds. The only difference is the players who are tied for second at 5-under par: Harold Varner III, Jazz Janewattananond, Luke List, and Dustin Johnson. Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott both shot 72 to fall back to a tie for 8th at 3-under par. The course played a... Read more

Muscleman Brooks Koepka is setting golf history. He is about to tee off right now for the third round of the 101st PGA Championship. It is the second of four major professional golf tournaments in the world this year. Koepka has a seven stroke lead after the first two days of play.

The Missing Link in the Bible

Last updated on: May 15, 2019 at 10:25 pm   By Kermit Zarley

When I first meet a Christian, occasionally the first thing that person will ask me is, “You believe in the Trinity don’t you?” They never ask me, “You believe that Jesus arose from the dead, don’t you?” Why is this? The book of Acts tells us mostly about the early Christians preaching the gospel, which means “good news.” That good news is that Jesus arose from the dead. The book of Acts tells us over twenty times what their evangelistic... Read more

Zion Is in the News

Last updated on: May 16, 2019 at 6:11 pm   By Kermit Zarley

I’ve been an NBA fan all of the adult life. Zion Williamson, an eighteen year old kid who just finished his first year of college at Duke University, is the #1 latest and greatest teenage basketball player since Lebron James. I say kid, but he’s 6’7″ tall, weighs 284 pounds, and he looks like he doesn’t have an ounce of fat on him. If Lebron James is a freight train running down the NBA track, Zion Williamson is a rocket... Read more

Is God on Israel’s Side?

Last updated on: May 16, 2019 at 9:16 am   By Kermit Zarley

U.S. Ambassador to Israel, David M. Friedman, is an Orthodox Jew who has been working with President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who is also an Orthodox Jew, on a peace plan to settle the 60+ years old Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Before that, Mr. Friedman worked a long time for Donald Trump as his bankruptcy lawyer. Friedman and Kushner have been saying for months that they are going to reveal their peace plan in a matter of days, and it hasn’t... Read more
