  Triforce of Lorule, Legend of Zelda At the core of all three of these very diverse religions and philosophies is “I.” In Buddhism is its I will become enlightened, in Atheism it is I do not need God and I will decide the course of my life, and Satanism is the veneration of the fallen angels who is all about I, “How you are fallen from heaven, O [ a ]Lucifer, son of the morning! How  you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’” (Isaiah 14:11-14). At the heart of all three of this triad of I faiths is the concept that you are the center of the universe. Buddhists make their journey all about thief ascension in the Eight Fold Path. Atheists is it to be a humanist-consumer where everything is as...

  Deconstructing one’s faith has become very vogue. Many renowned pastors and celebrities in the church have employed this process in an attempt to reform. In Deconstruction there tends to be a spectrum, there are those like Jonathan Harris, the author of I Kissed Dating Goodbye, that has in deconstruction process lost his faith, and then there is the the song by David Dunn, “I wanna go back to Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so, for the Bible tells me, yes Jesus loves me, Yes Jesus loves me.”  Deconstructing can be useful when it is to step out of bad doctrines and trends in the church. The Prosperity Gospel and Doctrine is a good example, that someone would have to deconstruct their faith in Christ from it because it is a wrongful and harmful doctrine. However, the deconstruction process has perils, because many “throw the Baby out with bath water,” or as I put it, “the Christ child out with the bad water.” We have had a steady stream of mainstream pastors...

  The powers of this present darkness    are becoming more and more overt. The popularity of the demonic has surged in media with Demon Slayer, an anime, becoming massively popular and K-Pop, a Korean Group that includes their Demon Hunters story of them doing protective powers over audiences and in the Netflix movie fighting a demonic band called Saja. One of characters in Demon Hunters Movie is a half demon named Rumi who is good, and Korean Shamanism/Mythology is laced throughout The K-Pop concerts, which reminds me of the apostle’s words, “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.” (2 Timothy 4:3-4) and “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons.” (1 Timothy 4:1). The We...

The dispute over the proper Pascha, over Easter was once a major issue in The Church. The issue arose over solar and lunar calendars. The West used The Gregorian Calendar, which used the sun for time of day, days, and months, and year while The Eastern Churches used The Julian Calendar which used the moon. What inevitably happened is as the church split, so did the celebrations, so while Good Friday was April 3rd for Western Churches, the Eastern Churches are celebrating on April 10th.  We could become dismayed that the whole Church family around the world    is not unified and celebrating Passion Week and Easter at the same time. One could echo the words of our Lord Emmanuel, “I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.” (John 17:20-21). An...

All over the world tombs exist for the founders. Judaism’ principle founder Moses is buried in The Valley of Moab (Deuteronomy 34-:5-6), Islam’s Prophet Muhammed’s tomb is in the Green Dome Mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia, Buddha who was cremated has multiple shrines with his ashes, and Joseph Smith is buried in his Family Cemetery in Illinois. Only Christianity, our faith has people flocking to an empty tomb, for its significance is not that Christ is still buried there, but that He was buried there, but “He is not here, He is Risen.” (Matthew 28:6).  Around the world people flock to shrines of their sacred and holy leaders, because they were all mortal men who died. In stark contrast, Jesus who is God and Man did not stay dead, He rose from death, “On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jes...

  In time for Good Friday, people are posting about The Geologists in 2012 who were studying earthquakes from Jerusalem to The Dead Sea and found evidence there was a quake in the time of Pontius Pilate, between 26-39 A.D ( https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna47555983 ,  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-15595731/biblical-earthquake-jesus-crucifixion-dead-sea.html ).    The Gospels tell us,  “And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and[ c ] went into the holy cityand appeared to many people.” (Matthew 27:50-53). There is astronomical evidence of an eclipse happening April 3rd, 33 A.D. because that was when a blood moon eclipse happened ( https://science.nasa.gov/eclipse...
