Do Christians legitimately believe that Jesus is the fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14?  Doesn't "almah" just mean "young woman", and Isaiah was talking about his wife, and not the virgin Mary some 700 years later?  Dr. J takes a look at Isaiah in the original Hebrew, and in the Greek translation done by Jewish scribes 200 years before Christ (the Septuagint), and gives an answer.  And the hope that this passage brings still brings hope to people every Christmas season.  

I have heard recently statements from podcasters and "journalists" and "historians" that Hitler and the Nazis were "cool" or perhaps just misunderstand.  Winston Churchill was actually the bad guy of World War II.  Really?  Listen in to this analysis of the facts of WW2, and the jargon which passes itself off as legitimate history to uninformed people these days.  

We hear a lot these days about how awful "Western Civilization" is.  Teachers in public schools and colleges are constantly bad-mouthing Western Civilization, but of course they are using their free speech which is a concept that uniquely comes from Western Civilization.  Are there any blessings or advantages of living in a culture that values the heritage of Western Civilization?  I think so, and today's podcast goes through a few of them.  

What was it like in America on Thanksgiving 1945?  World War II had just ended, and now millions of American fighting men were coming home.  What was our society, our culture like then?  What were we as a nation thankful for?  Can we take any cues from that era and find things to be thankful for today?  

Is the popular American celebration of Thanksgiving actually a celebration about a massacre of Native Americans by the Pilgrims and Puritans?  It has become popular in the past thirty or forty years to trash America and try to show that America is actually a terrible nation founded upon slavery, slaughter, and oppression.  However, upon examination of real historical facts, it becomes clear that this is yet another myth foisted upon impressionable and uneducated people.  It is important to expose the fraud of the Leftists in our land, and see their deconstruction of American history for what it is.  Celebrate Thanksgiving, knowing that it's roots are truly in a great feast of peace, joy, and tolerance.  

If you are on a college campus or public school (high school or junior high), more than likely you are not being taught the history of Marxism (or much history of any economic theory or nation, for that matter).  So, to help out your education, here are short little bios about seven evil little monsters who thought it would be a great idea to seize total control, wipe out millions of innocent people, and usher in a brave new world.  

Since so many Americans believe that government should have the right to "soak" the "rich" (whoever has more money than we do) and then "redistribute it" to others who are deemed more worthy of that wealth that they did not earn, I thought it would be good to just ask a few questions.  Share with your socialist friends.  

The term "fascist" is bandied about quite a bit these days.  But what does the term actually mean?  Who were the fascists of the 20th century, how did they practice their ideology in their nations, and who today most closely resembles what the fascists practiced?  

We talked about godly men (something sorely lacking in our American culture these days).  What does the Bible say about godly women?  Tune in!

How can you spot a godly man?  What does it take to be a godly man?  The Bible is very clear about the characteristics that men in the ancient world, and in our world today, needed in order to build a happy and prosperous life.
