UFOs and Atomic Weaponry

Last updated on: December 27, 2024 at 5:02 pm By Ted Peters

Is there a connection between UAPs or UFOs and atomic weaponry? Yes, indeed. In fact, there are two points of contact. First, scientific data demonstrates that UFOs survey, monitor, and occasionally interfere with American nuclear missile systems. Second, these incidents reinforce the message of the contactees of the 1950s that extraterrestrials seek to bring peace on earth. In this post, we’ll examine two complementary connections between UFOs and atomic weaponry. Read more

Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith

Last updated on: August 21, 2023 at 2:43 pm By Ted Peters

Pope Francis has just appointed Argentinian Archbishop Victor Manuel “Tucho” Fernández to head the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Among other enjoinders, His Holiness has shifted the emphasis away from heresy hunting toward sharing "theological knowledge." In this post I try to spell out how valuable theological knowledge can be when it takes the form of systematic theology that is applicable, comprehensive, logical, and coherent. Read more

Last updated on: July 12, 2023 at 7:04 am By Ted Peters

Church decline, like low tide, leaves the sun to bleach out the traditional religious depth of American culture. Wildcat digital media hawking competive worldviews that include missionary atheism has dried up the Christian Weltanschauung. What is the way forward for the gospel? Is it time to pray? Is it time to act? Read more

Heaven. Afterlife 11

Last updated on: October 11, 2023 at 5:13 pm By Ted Peters

Heaven is God's promise which we can understand only symbolically in terms of (1) the ecstasy of worship; (2) the beatific vision or visio Dei; (3) Paradise as a garden; or the kingdom of God as (4) the New Jerusalem. Rather than a return to the Garden of Eden, heaven comes to us as God's future fulfillment of all creation. Read more
