728 The Truth About the Lodge
The Masons have been around for many centuries. Masons claim that their organization finds its roots with the builders of King Solomon's temple, but others trace its origin to the Ancient Pagan Mysteries. According to Pike's Morals and Dogma, Buddha was a Mason some one thousand years before Christ. The first Grand Lodge was founded in London in 1717. Masons claim that their "fraternity" is not a religion, but over and over again we find religious elements in their practices. read more...

The early church history is explored to include Catholics and others who originally baptized in the name of Jesus. The middle ages also had groups who testified to this mode of baptism. Lastly, the modern groups who once baptized in the name of Jesus (Assemblies of God, Quakers, and many others) and those who continue to keep this practice of the Apostles. read more...

558 Adultery
In our morally deteriorating society, it is difficult to share at times that certain decisions and actions are still sin in God’s eyes. There once was a time when adultery was condemned from the pulpits. However, largely due to the desensitizing of our culture and the promotion of this sin through the media (music, movies, television, tabloids, and romance novels), most people turn a blind eye to adultery even though the consequences are still as devastating as in ancient times. read more...

591 Several Witnesses of Christ
There are secular (and Jewish) or non-Christian sources that prove Christ's life was a reality. Here's what 1st and 2nd century sources have said about Him which verifies Jesus as an actual man of history. Cornelius Tacitus (55 - 120 A.D.) Tacitus was a 1st and 2nd century Roman historian who lived through the reigns of over half a dozen Roman emperors. Considered one of the greatest historians of ancient Rome, Tacitus verifies the Biblical account of Jesus' execution at the hands of Pilate. read more...

587 Three Realms
Apostle Paul informed us of a third heaven (where the presence of God dwells with His host). "I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven." Here we are informed that Paul himself was in the very presence of God. (2 Cor. 12:2) The word of God tells that there are three heavens. The first being our immediate atmosphere, and the second is outer space. read more...

421 What's the Catholic Faith?
What's the Catholic faith? Most people who do not call themselves Catholics but believe in the false doctrine of the Trinity fail to realize that they hold the central teaching of their mother. Even the Catholic Church itself calls them Catholic in the Quicumque Vult of Catholicism. The Quicumque Vult states that, "A Trinitarian is a Catholic even though he or she may profess to be a Protestant." The issues and theology of the Catholic faith is explored in history. read more...

624 Space Exploration's Inspiration
The history of flight is the history of man's dream to rise through the sky like a bird. Early tradition about flight and probably many early challenges involved fashioning wings out of birds' feathers. The narration about flying objects at the time of revelation of the Bible, Koran and legends. Bellerophon the Brave, captured Pegasus, a winged horse and took him to a fight with the triple headed monster, Chimera. The Bible also inspires it. "He stretches out the north over the empty place." read more...

452 The Power and Nature of Singularity
The definition that I found that struck a chord of meaning with me was the following term. "A point of infinite density and temperature, derived from the concept that if we could view our universe going backwards in time, every galaxy will eventually crush into some singular point. The time of this event is known as the Big Bang epoch." Indivisible, indivisible, the beginning point… without which you have zero, and anything beyond is not possible without the beginning one. read more...

424 Savage Wolves in Christ's Name
What do the History books have to say about Christendom under the Rulership of the "Holy" Roman Empire? Some people will only believe the truth when it's presented by cold hard facts. The items here are such. They will shock some and disgust others, but they are only presented to tell the truth in it's entirety. "Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." (Proverbs 27:6) read more...

13960 Pagan Gods and Goddesses Worshipped as Christian Saints
Saint Brigid was named after one of the most powerful goddesses of the Pagan religion. "Probably the clearest example of the survival of an early goddess into Christian times is Brigid, the great triple goddess of the Celtic Irish. Bridget took religious vows and was canonized after her death by her adoptive church, which allowed the saint a curious list of attributes, coincidentally identical to those of the earlier goddess." The Catholic Church in order to gain pagans, made a goddess a saint! read more...

840 From Babylon to Rome
"The cult that arose in Babylon and spread its cult tentacles throughout the world was trinitarian. At first, this doctrine was merely humanism, man making himself god. The first humanism trinity of record to be setup and worshiped as gods, was that of Nimrod, Semiramis, and Tammuz. These are in the Old Testament in the Canaanite language identified as Baal, Ashtoreth, and Tammuz. At the dispersion of the people at the Tower of Babel, the trinity was spread to all the world." read more...

797 The Pearl of Great Value
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it." (Matthew 13:45-46) In ancient times pearls had far greater value than they do today. Here the Lord is showing the worth of the truth. It's value is far greater than all our worldly possessions. Thus we sell (or put aside) all our earthly interests, in order to receive the heavenly kingdom and serve the living God. read more...

476 The History and Beliefs of the Jehovah Witnesses
Charles Taze Russell is the official founder of the group. He was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. As a youth he was afraid of hell, this in turn led him to a discussion and with an individual who denied it's existence. He then believed from that time on that there was no such thing. Another turning point in his life was he went to a church that was very interested in the time of Christ's return. From then on he sought out the exact date of that important event. read more...

460 Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. (Not lacking, or Wanting, as the scripture says it, takes action on our part. Spiritual needs are filled by God as we pray, fast and study the Word of God. Natural needs are met as we do what we can with what we have. God will provide for us, but if we sit back and wait for God to provide, we will probably lack.) He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. God provides the Word of God for us to feed upon. read more...
