Despite the demonstrably obvious failings of the prophecies that predicted Trump’s re-election, I continue to receive comments from die-hard believers who still resolutely believe that the prophecies will come to fruition and that God is about to work a miracle to install Donald Trump for a second term. This unshakeable faith in Trump’s eventual victory …

A CRISIS OF PROPHETIC INTEGRITY A cascading series of false prophecies by many high-profile Pentecostals over the last year must surely cause us to question the integrity of these self-proclaimed ‘prophets’. It also raises the important question of the nature of prophecy itself. Now that Joe Biden has been officially declared to be the President-elect, …

The 117th American Congress was opened on January 3rd with a prayer by a United Methodist minister, Emanuel Cleaver.

Recently, in an online forum for debating the existence of God,  an atheist presented me with the assertion that “belief in God is unscientific”. Another atheist wrote to me, stating that “science disproved God years ago.” This seems to be a very common view. It regards science as the realm of ‘fact’ and religious faith …

Norway has just passed a law making it illegal to criticise the LGBTQI movement in the privacy of one’s own home. Labelling it as ‘hate speech’ the Norwegian Parliament has established heavy fines and up to one year in jail for anyone found to have expressed opinions that are critical of the LGBTQI movement, even …

The origin of the universe is the greatest conundrum facing atheism. How did the physical universe come into existence in the beginning? Where did it come from? By what processes? Atheism’s whole worldview is founded upon the presupposition that nothing outside of nature exists. Thus, everything that happens must have a physical, natural cause. But …

Could the biblical account of the global flood actually be true?  Here are some points to consider. Firstly, the Bible clearly intends us to regard the global flood as a literal historical event. This is evident by the fact that the New Testament writers consistently referred to Noah’s flood as actual history. For example, the …

A Bill was introduced into the Victorian (Australia) Parliament two weeks ago, seeking to ban ‘conversion therapy’ and proposing fines of up to $10,000 or up to 10 years in jail for those who attempt to change someone’s sexuality or gender identity.
