Creation; Long or Short
BASIC ASSUMPTIONS 1. God created all: a) The elements, forces, laws of the universe. b) He abides by His own laws. If He didn’t He would be like some ruthless, arbitrary human despot that cannot be trusted. c) There is no such thing as supernatural. God cannot be above Himself. It only looks like He supersedes His laws because we don’t know them all. There is nothing supernatural but there is profound ignorance. Just because we can now partially explain events, detracts nothing from the power and intelligence God used to make something “miraculous”...
Read MoreTHE LAST WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO CONVINCE THE WORLD OF THE NEED TO BE PROLIFE
Introduction Ever since humans chose to know everything, good and bad instead of gradually absorbing the very basics from the Creator Himself, human life has been in an uneasy, fragile balance. Life is in the balance individually and collectively. Despairing people take their own lives or throw them away with recklessness or in hopeless causes. Religious or philosophical groups have been persuaded to commit collective suicide. Armies of young men have killed and died fighting offensively and defensively for reasons history has shown to be vain and futile. But there has never been a time like...

Oh To Be Like Christ So Many Christians wish, sing or pray that they could be more like Christ. They forget that the more they are like Christ, the more often they will be treated as Christ was. He was treated with indifference by the vast majority, claimed to be honored by a significant number, passionately hated by quite a few and passionately loved by a minority. Shame And War The world tries to bury its’ shameful history by honouring, then interring an unknown, unnamed soldier. Though the flesh rots and the bones eventually dissolve, essential history cannot be forgotten. The pain is...
Read MoreThe Ethic of Mutual Benefit
It is impossible to benefit at the expense of one’s neighbour. History has proven time and time again that, if it is not good for one’s neighbour, it is not good for one’s self. No empire that was built on slave labour or military might, stood for very long. If it is not good for one’s neighbour, it is not good for one’s self. If it is not good for black, it is not good for white. If it is not good for men, it is not good for women. And therefore, if it is not good for an unborn child, it is not good for pregnant mother. Not only is this morally correct, it is scientifically...
