  Doctor James Dobson, founder of Focus On The Family, has recently reposed and gone to be with the Lord. It seems since Billy Graham died in 2018, we have seen the Old Guard of Media Ministers passing away, with Pat Roberson in 2023, who was founder of CBN and 700 Club ,and Charles Stanely in 2023. This changing of the guard, as men who wielded great influence in the spotlight for the faith can be jarring. Questions begin to fester, do they have successors? Who will now take their pulpits and chairs? Who can fill their shoes?  This happened on a much more overwhelming level in the Early Church, when all the Disciples of Jesus and Apostles died. The Church was confronted with a reality that, “Jesus was not going to return in their lifetime, and so they had to find new meaning, shedding the apocalyptic view for martyrdom, or monasticism and Anchoritism (hermits).” (A Little Lower Than The Angels: The History of Sex and Christianity, Diamand McCulloch). The Church had a crisis p...

  All of us have at some point had a spiritual mentor. This person often helps us learn Hermeneutics, how to rightly divide scripture and interpret it, as well as seeking a deeper relationship with the LORD. The Bible is full of these sort of spiritual relationships, we have Elijah and Elias, Moses and Joshua, and Paul & Timothy. The Mentor and protégée relationship becomes a strong vergence in the Spirit, to help you grow as a Christian. That is until one of two outcomes takes places, you outgrow them, and thus develop your own strengths spiritually and independent of them, or they become your adversary. To address the former I will simply quote Master Yoda, “We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all Masters” (The Last Jedi). Yoda means that the protégée, the disciple whom Jesus urges us to make, will invariably grow beyond us and go and seek out their place in God’s Kingdom. This a natural and a healthy mentor will accept when their disciple spreads their w...

  Byzantine Spirituality and theologians of folly taught that we become sexless when we die, that our spirits lose gender when ww shed these bodies. This is utter nonsense, while our genitals convey on us maleness or females, our spirits were in bodies male or female and this effected how we think and are; we do not lose our gender on death.  This false doctrine of genderless heaven & resurrection came from concepts of asceticism based on gnostic texts. The monks and nuns contemplating the sacredness of angels took Jesus’ words, “For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.,” (Mark 12:25) as proof we become sexless and genderless, this is rather bizarre interpretation on account that passage is baiut marriage and divorce in context not genders, and angels had sex with women Genesis 6:2-4), there are female angels (Zachariah 5:9), and that Jesus Christ our Lord raised from death in ...

  I remember when I first encountered Furries. It was on a CIS (Criminal Investigation Scene) episode that showed these bizarre raves with people dressed in animal costumes to get randy. In the episode the whole concept was taboo and treated as bizarre. Now that has changed as Furries or Fursonas is becoming popular, with people’s attraction to anamorphic anime people is becoming more wide spread. Sometimes this is more animal like in the case of Star Fox characters, where the only human aspects that they stand upright, have breasts like Krystal, and outfits like jackets. It can be less so in the form of what has become phenomenon known as Uma Derby Girls in which they are anime girls with horse tails, and ears, but the rest is human. I am convinced Umamusume Derby Girls is an attempt to Furrize or make converts to Furry community. The game has players get invested with their horse girls, that you train, interact with, and do races with. It is a bizarre concept that is taking gamin...

  We enjoy judging others. There is a spiritual pride in deciding that someone else is not measuring up to rules we find in Scripture or in our churches. And yet there is a great amount that Christ says about, “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?,” (Matthew 7:1-3) and “But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her..” (John 8:7).  Why are these sayings ignored? Why does the Cross, the symbol of God’s Mercy get used to crush people? The answer is the Mob. We want to crucify those who do not measure up to hide our own frailty and that we arn’t measuring up. It’s easy to cry, “let me take the speck out of your own eye, when I have log in my owm.”  We are so keen ...

  The Main Source that supports the claims in this Post is  Diarmaid MacCulloch’s Little Lower Than The Angels: The History of Christianity and Sex, Chapter 2, 2024.  We are inclined to think that the attitudes that have pervaded in the Church towards sexuality come from The Bible. That God wants sex for procreation purely and solely. This was the Medieval Church’s stance, and where it comes from its not the Bible. Rather it comes from the Greco-Roman culture of Antiquity, which was forged by Philosophers like Plato and Aristotle. In the Greek Culture, Self Control was seen as Honor, to the point that sexual enjoyment in excess was considered a weakness and betrayal of your masculinity, and the blame for sexual excess was placed upon women. This concept that you must curb your pleasure, and not enjoy Sex too much arrived in the Church through Monasticism and Asceticism, how? Because the Medieval Roman Catholic Church used Plato and Aristotle    as a lens for int...
