Israel-Hamas War Causes Turmoil in the USA

Last updated on: December 8, 2023 at 7:24 pm By Kermit Zarley

Ever since Hamas–the governing party of the Gaza Strip–attacked Israel on October 7, killed 1,200 Israeli Jews, and took about 240 hostages, Israel has continued to retaliate with a war that is flattening Gaza resulting in reportedly 16,000 Gaza Palestinians killed. Turmoil has been building in the US about this whole situation, especially since the US is Israel’s #1 ally who supplies it with much of its weaponry and ammunitions freely as foreign aid. The war has brought to the... Read more

Christian Testimony of a Former Atheist

Last updated on: December 8, 2023 at 12:16 pm By Kermit Zarley

This century in the USA has started off with declining church attendance, 10% or more of its population no longer professing to be Christian, and a surge in both atheism and so-called “nones” who have no religious affiliation or profession of faith. So, for me it is refreshing to read a stirring Christian conversion story by a former atheist in this month’s issue (December, 2023) of Christianity Today, the preeminent Christian magazine in the USA that was founded by evangelist...

Christianity in China

Last updated on: December 6, 2023 at 5:11 pm By Kermit Zarley

I just watched a Zoom presentation of Christianity in China by an authoritative foreign affairs organization in the US that requested no attribution regarding its comments. A main speaker was being interviewed who is a US citizen who worked permanently in China for three decades beginning in the early 1980s. The following were some of this person’s remarks without being exact quotes: The Chinese government recognizes five different religions: Buddhism, Daoism, Islam, Catholic Christianity, and Protestant Christianity. The government is... Read more

US Finally Punishes Hostile Jewish Settlers in the West Bank

Last updated on: December 6, 2023 at 12:29 am By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

US Secretary Antony Blinken, who is Jewish, announced today a new, unprecedented policy of the Biden administration directed toward Jewish settlers and Palestinians living in the West Bank. He said the US henceforth will be “targeting individuals believed to have been involved in undermining peace, security or stability in the West Bank, including through committing acts of violence or taking other actions that unduly restrict civilians’ access to essential services and basic necessities.” This last target refers especially to Jewish...

Scottie Scheffler of Texas, the world’s No. 1 pro golfer, shot a four-under par 68 today to win the Hero World Challenge at Albany, Bahama, by three strokes over Austria’s Sepp Straka with a 20-under par 268 total. Scheffler dominated the field from tee-to-green with his long, accurate driving, towering long iron shots, and deft touch around and on the greens. He finished second in this tournament both of the last two years. This year has not been kind to... Read more

“You Can’t Tell Palestinians to ‘Get Out of the West Bank'”

Last updated on: December 2, 2023 at 7:17 pm By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

On my website kermitzarley.com, under “Theologian” in the menu, I have a section entitled “On Palestine.” It is devoted to my book, Palestine Is Coming: The Revival of Ancient Philistia. Regular readers of my blog know that the thesis of this book is that I believe some Old Testament prophecies about the end times indicate that by then, the end of the age, a Palestinian state will exist only in the coastal plain as a very expanded Gaza Strip, and...

Book Review of “The Monotheizing Process”

James A. Sanders was professor emeritus at Claremont School of Theology in Pasadena, California, when he died in 2020 at the age of 92. He perhaps was known academically mostly for his work as a textual critic of the Old Testament, but especially his early work with the Dead Sea Scrolls, namely the Psalm Scroll of Cave 11, and his early publications about the DSS. Professor Sanders was born in Memphis, Tennessee. He achieved his PhD at Hebrew Union College... Read more

What about After this Gaza War?

Last updated on: November 13, 2023 at 7:07 pm By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

That’s the question that is percolating a lot in the media even though it seems premature due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas War. But trying to answer this question could lead to a ceasefire and perhaps some sort of negotiation. This war is causing results that make my proposal for solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict look increasingly more viable. It is contained in my book published 33 years ago and entitled Palestine Is Coming: The Revival of Ancient Philistia. Here is my... Read more

Church Fathers Changed the Gospel

My next book is just about ready for publication. It is entitled The Gospel Corrupted: When Jesus Was Made God. It is a very easy read of about 100 pages. It is about how church fathers changed the gospel and thereby corrupted it. I’ve planned this new book as a primer for my book, The Restitution: Biblical Proof Jesus Is NOT God. It is now available at amazon.com. It is 570 pages and cites the writings of over 400 scholars.... Read more

Discussing Jesus’ Resurrection with Dr. Habermas

Three weeks ago I attended a conference in Houston at the Lanier Theological Library. I blogged about it soon afterwards, relating how Dr. John Lennox of Oxford University was the main speaker and that he delivered two lectures mostly about in artificial intelligence, but also on transhumanism and end times biblical prophecies. Dr. Gary Habermas of Liberty University was also a speaker there the first day among a panel of four people that included Dr. Lennox. During that... Read more
