Veneration of Saints

Many people say to me that the veneration of saints is necromancy. This is simply not true. Not only is this untrue but it is the opposite of that very accusation – it’s actually Biblical!

A Modest Suggestion to End the Gay Marriage Debate

The topic of gay marriage seems to be a very important topic these days. There are many people on both sides of the discussion.

Scripture on Alcohol

Once while out with a Bible study, after we finished our session, I was asked why I had ordered a beer with my meal. Now, it is seldom that I drink alcohol but on occasion I’ll have one drink. My response was, “Is it offensive? If it is, I can send it back”. What ensued was a sling of non-Biblical theories of how evil and sinful alcohol is. I have decided to write this essay to show the contrast of the fundamentalist view of alcohol and scriptural passages that speak of the matter.

As we will see, I have provided to positions regarding Christian conduct and homosexuality. One is conveyed through strictly Biblical scripture. The other is theological and philosophical.
