Where Are those Evangelicals Who Said God Made Trump President?

Last updated on: December 24, 2020 at 7:24 pm By Kermit Zarley

It is so ironical that Evangelicals were a primary force who put Donald Trump in the White House. The man’s history was so opposite of a religious person. But Evangelicals (and Pentecostals) had a transactional relationship with Trump. They would vote for him if he would do two things: oppose abortion to try to get Roe v. Wade overturned, and appoint conservative judges. I don’t think Trump cared about abortion; he previously had endorsed it. And I don’t think Trump... Read more

Jesus Denies Church a Second Time about COVID-19

Last updated on: December 24, 2020 at 2:45 pm By Kermit Zarley

On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Jesus G. Bernal denied for the second time a request by the mega-church Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, California, to lift state restrictions blocking in-person worship services from being held during the ongoing pandemic this Christmas. The church, as has many others U.S. churches, claimed the restriction prevented it from exercising its fundamental right to practice its religion. Earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court had ordered Judge Jesus Bernal to reconsider his earlier,... Read more

Bill Schlegel Interviews Me on his “One God Report” Podcast

Last updated on: December 20, 2020 at 6:20 pm By Kermit Zarley

Evangelical John MacArthur is one of America’s leading mega-church pastors and an author of many bestselling books. He probably is known mostly for his internationally-syndicated, Bible-teaching, radio broadcast entitled “Grace to You.” Professor Bill Schlegel used to work with John MacArthur in his ministry until about 2.5 years ago. MacArthur fired Bill because he no longer could in good conscience sign a doctrinal statement that included the proclamation that Jesus is God. Thus, Bill had changed his belief about Jesus...

More on “Moses Predicted COVID-19”: Part One

Last updated on: December 12, 2020 at 11:09 am By Kermit Zarley

This COVID-19 pandemic that the world is suffering is called “novel” for a reason. Novel means “new.” It’s not only new because it has never happened before. Health experts are learning new information about it all the time. One of the areas where there have been “outbreaks” of this covid is in the slaughterhouses of the meatpacking industry. For example, the news source Reuters reported (Global Ad Media, 6/24/20) in late June concerning covid, “In many rural parts of the... Read more

Trump and Jesus on Being Judgmental: Part Two of Three

Last updated on: December 11, 2020 at 9:28 pm By Kermit Zarley

Two weeks ago I posted this title, “Trump and Jesus on Being a Loser: Part One of Three.” This post documents how Donald Trump as president has called various people “losers” and that his casino operator says “it’s his main attack word.” Actually, Donald Trump speaks derogatorily of others in many ways just because they disagree with him. When Trump does this, he is pretty judgmental of others. Jesus proclaimed in his Sermon on the Mount, “Do not judge, so... Read more

The Difference Between Ivanka and Hunter

Last updated on: December 10, 2020 at 10:57 am By Kermit Zarley

In the past two weeks, there has been a notable difference in responses by President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka and President-elect Joe Biden’s son Hunter in their public announcements about governmental investigations being conducted about each them regarding the paying of taxes. With Ivanka, the New York state investigation is about her being paid by her father’s Trump Organization for large, and thus questionable, consulting fees the Organization had written off as expenses on its tax returns. With Hunter, the... Read more

Dunn on Jesus’ “I Am” Sayings in John

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

0 Comments

Britisher James D. G. Dunn–known as Jimmy Dunn to his many friends, which included me–was a leading New Testament scholar. He was professor at Durham University, England, from 1982 until recently. Jimmy was humble, kind, personable, and a delight to be with, all striking characteristics in such a towering intellect. We suffered a great loss when Jimmy died this past June. He was such an accomplished biblical scholar who wrote many books and trained many people as their PhD dissertation... Read more

Trump and Jesus on Being a Loser: Part One of Three

Last updated on: September 27, 2024 at 8:26 pm By Kermit Zarley

Republican President Donald Trump cannot accept losing the presidential election held nearly four weeks ago. Democratic President-elect Joe Biden gained nearly 7 million votes more than Trump did in the popular count. But that doesn’t count in the USA’s electoral system. In what counts–the Electoral College–Biden tallied 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232. Biden only needed 270 electoral votes to win. Biden’s 306 electoral votes is the same number Trump garnered in 2016 in defeating Hilary Clinton to gain the... Read more

Carbon Neutral Is the Future

Last updated on: November 27, 2020 at 8:23 pm By Kermit Zarley

Manmade global warming is a scientific fact. The temperature of Earth’s atmosphere has increased about 2% since the Industrial Revolution began in the latter part of the 19th century. Scientists tells us that humans are almost the sole cause of this increase in Earth’s temperature. Yet global warming has become a divisive factor in American politics of late. That is, many millions of American deny that humans are causing this global warming. But I believe this denial of science will... Read more

U.S. Supreme Court Rules for Religion Against Health

Last updated on: November 27, 2020 at 12:29 pm By Kermit Zarley

Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 in favor of freedom of religion versus New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s recent restrictions imposed on houses of worship in his state for the purpose of preventing mass spreading of the deadly pandemic called COVID-19 that has now killed over 263,000 Americans this year. This vote concerned the Constitution’s First Amendment Free Exercise Clause concerning religion. The vote applies to other states as well, thus also California and Nevada were similar... Read more
