Trust the Facts–Get the Vax

Last updated on: September 7, 2021 at 9:00 pm By Kermit Zarley

On August 8, I posted, “Religious Exemption from Vaccine Mandates Is Morally Wrong.” On August 20 I posted, “Catholic Church Not Supporting Religious Exemption for COVID Vaccine Mandates.” Today, I learned that former evangelical pastor Curtis Chang, a consulting faculty member at Duke Divinity School, is the co-founder of “Christians and the Vaccine.” They have many videos explaining that neither Christianity nor the Bible advocates opposition to something like the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for covid that have been...

Cancel Florida!

Last updated on: September 7, 2021 at 11:35 am By Kermit Zarley

I was planning to have a booth at my first trade show, and it just got canceled. In October, I was going to have a booth for my patented Triangle Book invention at Printing United Expo in the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. It was canceled seven days ago because of the resurgence in this COVID-19 pandemic, which is largely because of the surging Delta variant of it. It is quite a disappointment for me because I’m trying... Read more

Cantlay Wins Tour Championship

Last updated on: September 5, 2021 at 6:36 pm By Kermit Zarley

Patrick Cantlay capped off his recent victory run by defeating Jon Rahm today by one stroke to win the PGA Tour’s season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta, Georgia. In doing so, Cantlay also won the FedEx Cup, which was worth a bonus of $15 million. It was Cantlay’s sixth PGA Tour win. After winning the BMW Championship last week in perhaps the PGA Tour’s most thrilling playoff–which lasted for six holes against Bryon DeChambeau–Patrick Cantlay, at only 27... Read more

A Contrast in Faith Between Jesus Two Apostles: John and Thomas

Last updated on: April 28, 2025 at 11:46 am By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

Jesus chose twelve apostles to accompany him in his ministry, and one of them was the apostle John. Three of the four New Testament gospels, including the Gospel of John, do not reveal who wrote them. Plus, in the ancient world, titles often were not affixed to books. Rather, they were known by the first word in the book. Take the first and last books of the Bible; Genesis, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word bereshit, means “in the... Read more

Wins BMW Championship

Last updated on: August 29, 2021 at 5:01 pm By Kermit Zarley

Patrick Cantlay just won the BMW Championship on the sixth hole of sudden-death playoff with Bryson DeChambeau. It was a most exciting tournament with two of the game’s elite stars going head-to-head for so many minutes. DeChambeau had a bunch of chances to win. He started the back nine today one stroke behind leader Cantlay and birdied the first three holes to take the lead. Cantlay kept giving himself a chance. He made clutch putts on the last three holes... Read more

The Historical Reliability of the Gospel of John

Last updated on: April 28, 2025 at 11:46 am By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

The Gospel of John is my favorite book in the Bible. Although I’m no expert on literature, I believe it is the most masterfully-crafted text I have ever read. But it has been greatly misunderstood, both as to its historical reliability and its identification of who Jesus is. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, major New Testament scholars dismissed the Gospel of John as having no historical credibility. This even included my friend Jimmy Dunn (James D. G. Dunn). They... Read more

COVID Attacks Cyber Ninjas

Last updated on: August 25, 2021 at 9:13 pm By Kermit Zarley

You’d think the secretive Cyber Ninjas, who are on a seemingly clandestine mission in Arizona, would be impervious to what they may have thought was a rather innocuous coronavirus for them. Not so. I live in Arizona where the Cyber Ninjas (yes, that is their business name) from Florida have been conducting a recount of votes from the 2020 election. It’s because Republicans control the state legislature here, and they ordered a recount. But these Ninjas have never done this... Read more

Delta Fights Delta with a New Weapon

Last updated on: August 25, 2021 at 4:48 pm By Kermit Zarley

Delta Airlines announced a new strategy today that no company has put forward yet that I know of to fight this COVID-19 pandemic and its new and strong variant called Delta. The airlines will require all of its employees to be vaccinated or else, for those who refuse, the company will increase their health insurance premiums that the company pays for them by $200 per month. That may be the only way to get a bunch of these non-vaxxers to... Read more

“Zarley, You Don’t Assume a DAMN THING in the U.S. Army”

Last updated on: August 25, 2021 at 12:17 pm By Kermit Zarley

That’s what my Army sergeant said to me in 1962 when I was in active duty Army at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. “Fort Sam,” as it is usually called, was and still is largely a medical facility. Thus, I was a medic in the Army. I had chose this MOS when I signed up, and I got it. Why? Being a Christian, I just decided that if I had a choice, I’d rather try to save... Read more
