Why won't God heal amputees?
by Jim Barringer
Google.com has a feature where you can type in the first few words of a phrase you want to search for, and suggestions will drop down, indicating the most common searches that begin with those words. Typing "Why won't" brings a variety of choices from "Why won't my parakeet eat diarrhea" to "Why won't my hydrangea bloom." One of them is "Why won't God heal amputees?" I've wondered things like that before - never about amputees, specifically, but in general.

God Is Not Simple
by Jim Barringer
I don't mean to make it sound like there are no rules in the Bible, but Jesus is pretty open about the fact that the rules that matter most are "Love the Lord your God" and "Love your neighbor as yourself." I don't know if you've ever tried loving someone, especially someone who's hard to love, but it's a lot more difficult than just following a few rules. Sometimes I think I would rather have the rules.

How could a good God...?
by Jim Barringer
Many people wonder, "With all the poverty, hunger, exploitation, and injustice on earth, how can God exist, or how can God be good?" I want to argue that this line of thinking is redundant and misguided. If you really want to make the case that God is sadistic, all you need to do is observe the fact that he's inflicted us all with life.

Salvation Without Jesus?
by Jim Barringer
Can a person be saved without Jesus? The short answer is: no. To give a more in-depth answer, I'd like to pose two more questions. First, what is the problem: why do we need salvation at all? Second, what is the solution: how do we achieve salvation?

I Love Me Some Me
by Jim Barringer
Since the birth of Christ, we've advanced unspeakable distances in medical science, and humans correspondingly live longer and healthier. We've come so far in technology that we went from horse-drawn cart to car to airplane in less than a century. So why do we have such a hard time figuring out something like love?

The Hypocrisy of Pluralism
by Jim Barringer
Have you ever heard someone say, "All ways lead to God," or suggest that all beliefs are equally valid? Those statements are wrong on every possible level, and it's very easy to understand why.

From Where Does Morality Come?
by Jim Barringer
Morals and ethics are major hot-button issues these days, but where does morality actually come from? Some believe it is socially determined; others believe individually determined; still others believe that any behavior is okay so long as it does not harm others. In this essay I explain where morality comes from, and why all concepts that do not involve the creator God of the Bible are fraught with inconsistencies and logical errors that make them unworkable.

Breadth of Mind and the Bible - Spiritually
by Robin Calamaio
Why is there so much confusion on spiritual matters? Even if one just focuses on Christianity, there is very little agreement among competing scholars - thus all the different denominations. So how is the "average Joe" supposed to know what material is actually from the Creator?

Are Christian Religious Symbols a form of Idolatry?
by Robert Randle
Wearing a small replica of the Cross of the Crucifion or prayer beads around our neck, lighting incense in front of a shrine, displaying a portrait of "The Last Supper," in one's home, driving a car showing IXOYE or the 'fish' as a bumper sticker, and the such like; still are these devotional and worshipful acts, images and artifacts in keeping with God's word? Jesus said in John 4: 24, "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

Was Jesus really Crucified on "Good Friday?"
by Robert Randle
Christendom celebrates one of its most holiest days as Easter; the day [Sunday morning], which our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth rose from the grave and conquered death. Leading up to this blessed Day is an equally important one, "Good Friday," the Day our Lord and Savior was Crucified on the Cross on Mount Calvary. Since Jesus Himself mentioned that He would be in the heart of the earth for three days and nights, it is unlikely that He was crucified and buried pre-dusk Friday before the Sabbath, and rose early Friday morning before sunrise.

A plea for Christian unity
by Robert Randle
Christendom is composed of over four hundred Churches with differing faith practices, liturgy, traditions, and theology; but each one claims to be serving God and believe in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Yet, how many of us in the Body of Christ really fellowship one another with regular visits and support from the differing congregations about our common walk of faith?

Reality Reality

The reality is that we need one source of truth. There are so many theories, philosophies, speculations, ethical rationales, political paradigms, and social constructs in the world that it's difficult to know where to turn.

Breadth of Mind and the Bible - A Personal Narrative
by Robin Calamaio
Most people know someone who has "converted" to Christianity. From a purely mental, intellectual viewpoint ... what has happened here? This is really a great mystery ... or is it? Would it help to hear from someone who underwent such a change - with an additional 32 years (and counting) tacked on?

Breadth of Mind and the Bible - An Illustrative, Philosophical View
by Robin Calamaio
Christians are often accused of being "narrow minded." Is it possible a Biblical Theist has actually accessed the broadest form of human thought? How does Humanistic thought measure up? And could a Biblical Theist even have a greater breadth of mind ... than an evolutionary Naturalist?

Same Devil, Same Deception, But Still...
by Jaisam Daniel
I have always wondered about one thing after many years of walk with our Lord Jesus Christ, no matter how hard I try to reason myself intellectually away from God's word I fail, If the word of God says something and I reason with my 1350 grams of brain and do things in my own way, I fail 10 out of 10 times.
