Jeff Flake Is Cool!
Last updated on: September 29, 2024 at 10:44 pm By Kermit Zarley
Who Is Jeff Flake? Jeff Flake is a cool guy in his viewpoint on politics and the way he expresses himself about it. In the U.S. presidential Biden administration, he has been serving as U.S. ambassador to Turkey the past two years. So, Flake is a Republican who has been working for a Democratic administration. How did that happen? I lived in Arizona for 25 years, and I’ve been an independent voter all my life who has always voted for... Read more

Dispensational Eschatology Controversy at Lausanne Congress
Last updated on: September 26, 2024 at 1:30 pm By Kermit Zarley
Dr. Ruth Padilla DeBorst, an associate professor at Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan, caused controversy Monday with her speech at the Fourth Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization in Incheon, South Korea. It caused her to have to later clarify her remarks to the 5,000 delegates in attendance after Congress Director David Bennett apologized to them for some of her remarks. “Hostages” Held by Israel? This conference is famous for its purpose, which is to bring together Christian leaders throughout... Read more

Jordan’s Queen Rania Makes Most Sense of Mid-East Conflict
Last updated on: September 25, 2024 at 11:47 pm By Kermit Zarley
Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein has been the King of Jordan since 1999. Schooled in the West, he has been a level-headed ruler, with insight and wisdom regarding Mid-East turmoil and a promoter of inter-religious dialogue, especially between Muslims and Christians. His wife Queen Rania is just as wise as he is about these matters and equally articulate. ABC News interviewed her yesterday about the current Israel-Hamas War in Gaza, which has now lasted almost one year, and what now appears... Read more

Trump Denounces Jews Who Don’t Vote for Him
Last updated on: September 24, 2024 at 12:12 pm By Kermit Zarley
Trump said last Thursday at a political campaign event in Washington, D.C., that was focused on denouncing anti-semitism, “If I don’t win this election, the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss.” Trump then repeated this allegation at a second event that was centered on Israeli Americans. He said they would be “voting for the enemy.” He also predicted it would cause the destruction of Israel. For multiple decades, Donald Trump has been enchanted with Adolf... Read more

What Shape Was Jesus’ Cross?
Last updated on: September 23, 2024 at 8:00 pm By Kermit Zarley
Traditional Cross Throughout the 2,000-year history of Christianity, the traditional view of the shape of Jesus’s cross has been a vertical post or stake with a crossbeam attached to it near the top of the post, but not at the top as in the shape of the letter T. The two words used in the Greek New Testament to described Jesus’ cross are stauros and xylon, and neither of them indicate its shape. In modern times, some scholars have challenged... Read more

New Analysis Confirms Wuhan Market as Origin of COVID-19
Last updated on: September 21, 2024 at 12:03 pm By Kermit Zarley
Wuhan Market Origin A new analysis of the origin of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) virus by an elite, international, research team further confirms China’s determination—that COVID-19 originated at the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in the mega-city Wuhan. I suggested this in my book, Moses Predicted COVID-19, which I wrote in three months and began the process of publishing it in June, 2020. Lab Leak Origin Theory Some people had opposed this determination, alleging that COVID-19 originated near this seafood market in a... Read more

Huckabee—”Harris Doesn’t Have Anything Keeping Her Humble”
Last updated on: September 20, 2024 at 10:22 pm By Kermit Zarley
Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ father, Mike Huckabee, was a Christian pastor and then the governor of Arkansas in 1996-2007. Sarah was President Donald Trump’s first press secretary and is now the governor of Arkansas. Last Tuesday, she spoke at a Republican town hall meeting in Flint, Michigan, preceding Trump. She made a comment that was similar to a comment by J.D. Vance, Trump’s running mate for the White House. Vance denigrated women without kids by calling them “childless cat ladies.” So,... Read more

The Bible Says Trump Is a “Fool” to “Talk On and On”
Last updated on: September 20, 2024 at 11:26 am By Kermit Zarley
Former U.S. President and Republican Donald Trump is possessed about the number of people he draws to his political rallies. It became an issue in the recent debate between him and his Democratic rival for the presidency, Vice President Kamala Harris. She deftly caused him to divert from his script to defending against her assertion that people were leaving his rallies early. This Harris allegation was true, whereas it was not happening at her political rallies. Today’s New York Times... Read more

Why’d Jesus Live in Outback Galilee Instead of Elite Judea?
Last updated on: September 18, 2024 at 11:26 pm By Kermit Zarley
Jesus grew up and lived in the village of Nazareth in Galilee. But the heart of the nation of Israel was always Judea to the south. That is where Jerusalem was located, with the temple there. According to the Law of Moses, three times per year Jewish men all over the land of Israel, which included Galilee, had to go to Jerusalem to worship God during three festivals. And the high priests of the Sanhedrin lived at Jerusalem. They controlled... Read more

Expert Affirms Jesus’ Saying, “Ask and It Will Be Given You”
Last updated on: September 18, 2024 at 7:53 pm By Kermit Zarley
CNBC asked Matt Abrahams, expert on communications at Stanford University, about asking questions since some people think it makes us look weak and insecure. I think it’s macho men who often think this way and people who project a know-it-all attitude. Abrahams says asking good questions “demonstrates you care, it demonstrates empathy, it demonstrates you’re willing to learn, and, in some cases admit you don’t know everything.” He says we should listen tentatively to others before asking them questions. Abrahams... Read more
