Sir Isaac Newton’s Simplicity of the Christian Gospel

Last updated on: December 20, 2025 at 12:59 pm By Kermit Zarley

Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) was the famous physicist and mathematician who discovered gravity and the laws of motion. He once made a statement that seems so foreign to his brilliance and expertise in unravelling complex issues. He said, “Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.” I think Newton had in mind not only science but also theology when he said that. It’s the formula KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid! Newton... Read more

Trump Is in Free Fall

It is as I predicted in my book, Bible Predicts Trump Fall. This book is mostly an anthology of 200 posts—each about 1.5 pages in length—on my Kermit Zarley Blog from the time that Donald Trump began his first campaign for the U.S. presidency, in the summer of 2015, to his exit from the White House in early 2021. The first and last chapters are much longer. The introductory first chapter provides mostly a family history of how Donald Trump... Read more

Sir Isaac Newton’s Non-Arian Theological Beliefs

Last updated on: December 10, 2025 at 5:15 pm By Kermit Zarley

Sir Isaac Newton was one of the smartest men who ever lived. He was a mathematician and a scientist who discovered gravity. He and Albert Einstein were the two most influential scientists ever. Newton also was a very devout Christian and student of the Bible. His friend John Locke—a member of the so-called Newton Circle, whose writings later had a profound influence on the crafting of the U.S. Constitution through Thomas Jefferson—wrote of Newton’s “great knowledge of the Scriptures, wherein...

Discovering Your Gift to Give Away All Year

Last updated on: December 9, 2025 at 12:59 pm By Kermit Zarley

Famed artist Pablo Picasso said, “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” Theologian Howard Hendricks said the way to find your gift is to ask, (1) what do you like to do, (2) what do others say you can do, and (3) what results do you get from doing it. Jesus said, “Give, and it will be given to you” (Luke 6:38). “Freely you have received; freely give” (Matthew... Read more

Does God View All Acts of Nonbelievers as “Filthy Rags”?

Some Misapplication of Scripture in Evangelism In the 2,000-year history of Christianity, there have been times of church renewal in which the faithful advocated reform against ritual observance and/or rote liturgy that results in insincere, non-genuine worship of God. The most prominent examples have been Protestantism, with its emphasis on justification by faith and dependence on Sola Scriptura (“Only Scripture”), and the more recent emergence of Evangelicalism. The name of the latter indicates its emphasis on personal evangelism. All of... Read more

About two months ago, President Donald Trump started a military campaign against drug traffickers in international waters, mostly in the Caribbean Sea. Trump has characterized it as “a war against narco-terrorists” transporting illegal drugs that he claims were destined for the U.S. to kill Americans. Never mind that such Americans want the drugs, buy them, and shoot them themselves or whatever with the serum of their own volition as addicts. The U.S. “War on Drugs” Is Not Literal To date,...

I have been blogging about Roman Catholic Pope Leo XIV visiting Iznik (formerly Nicaea), Turkey, this weekend to celebrate the 1,700th anniversary of Nicene Council, what the Church calls the First Ecumenical Council. See my other posts here, and here, and here, and here. The Nicene Council and Creed Christian Roman Emperor Constantine called this council in the year 325.

I have been blogging about Roman Catholic Church’s Pope Leo XIV celebrating the 1,700th anniversary of the Nicene Council and its Nicene Creed in the place where it all happened—in Iznik, Turkey (formerly Nicaea) near current today’s Istanbul (formerly Constantinople). (See “Today Is the 1,700th Anniversary of the Nicene Creed,” and “The Irony of Celebrating the Nicene Creed in Islamic Turkey.”) In my 570-page book, The Restitution: Biblical Proof Jesus Is Not God, wherein I cite the writings of over...

Catholic Church Celebrates the Nicene Creed in Turkey Catholic Pope Leo XIV will now travel from the Vatican in Rome to Iznik, Turkey, a very Islamic country, to celebrate this weekend the Catholic Church’s Nicene Council that met there 1,700 years ago (when it was Nicaea), in the year 325 CE. That council of 318 bishops produced the Nicene Creed, under political pressure from Emperor Constantine to do so. Nearly all Christians since, even of the Protestant tradition, have bound...
