Biblical News Source

This week on Biblical News Source we are going to take a deep dive into the troubling influx of carelessness and abandonment in Biden’s America, specifically how intentional it is and how it is showing itself even in the U.S. Congress, especially with one congresswoman Ilhan Omar. We are paying for their brazen ineptitude. Then, as it turns out, carbon dioxide emissions are actually healthy for the planet, and we will look at a recent science article that tells us why. And after that, we continue our examination of Abraham and the forefathers of biblical faith. Welcome to Biblical News Source.

This week on Biblical News Source we’re going to take a look at some matters that are really defining the nature of the moral landscape in culture, some of which have now put the U.S. at the brink of potential Civil War. Then we are going have a long discussion about the importance of free speech and finish up with another journey into the ancient world and the worldview of the Hebrews by looking at an important figure who is easy to skip over if not careful.

Another school shooting by a person who identifies as transgender raises some important questions about the present condition of Western culture; women on average have an inherent inclination to nurture and care, indicating a design for motherhood; and we continue our Hebrew Worldview series by looking into Abraham and his purpose through Yahweh.

The nativity story is far more than the story of the birth of the promised Messiah. It is the integral moment in history when all things change and a routing of the kingdom of evil, the forces and gods of darkness, could finally be realize. Jesus is King and Lord, a mighty warrior taking on the true problem of evil in our universe, and his entry into our story sparked the battle for justice, love, and life.

Tensions between Israelis and Hamas have escalated, and voices around the world are seeming to support the terrorists over the Jews, to our detriment; research is showing that many women really do not have a choice in abortion after all, as they are pressured by their loved ones and society to get abortions; and human standards of creativity have literally hit rock bottom.

After a horrifying terrorist attack by Hamas, leaders of the Gaza Strip in Israel, thousands of innocent Jews and tourists have been killed, including numerous children who were beheaded and immolated, and Israel has begun their retaliation; a former celebrity occultist joins the Christian faith and is baptized, which doesn't sit well with some Christians; and we examine the reliability of evidence: should we seek absolute certainty or should we have faith when enough confidence has been reached?

A sex-change operation in Nebraska that was forced and an utter failure brings to light the real and destructive motive behind the secular cult of selfishness and greed, the importance of Christianity and some of the evidence for its absolute truth are examined, and was Jesus woke? You know my answer, but you may not know why. Check out this episode to learn more.

There has been a change in the education system in America and in many countries across the globe. No longer are students taught how to think, they are taught what to think and are being indocrinated into the secular religion of self. A tweet of mine regarding this topic went viral on Twitter, inspiring some interesting responses. In this episode, we talk about some of those and go deeper into why critical, independent, rational thought based on the philosophical laws of logic is imperative to a functioning society.

The Declaration of Independence is probably the most important founding document ever constructed beyond the Pentateuch in the Bible. If you are in America, it is vitally important to you. If you are not, it is still important because it evidences for all people the importance of accountability, community, majority rule, and unbiased representation of the people to instill a nation where everyone can thrive with equal opportunity. Unfortunately, it is rarely read anymore and is taught less and less to children, leading to a disregard for the values it expresses, the freedoms it seeks, and the order it was devised to establish. In this episode, I read the entire document and discuss it briefly. Share it with your friends and families and encourage them to think about it. Really think about it, mull over it, process it, and appreciate its truth, power, and significance.

I discuss my reaction to Biden's onslaught of endless Twitter messages over the weekend by citing his perversity and criminality and the need for impeachment, take a look at the suppression of free speech for to little girls who simply stated the logical fact that a human cannot be a cat, check out the box office numbers for the Flash and discuss whether the movie is worth a look, and advocate head on the need for sactification within the church when dealing with matters of sexual abuse.
