No
Exodus - Newsweek - Aug 2004 Carol
Meyers, Professor of Biblical Studies at Duke University, and William
Dever, Professor emerits at University of Airzona, a leading authority
on near eastern archeology, say that "on the basis of what has been
found so far, there was no exodus as described in the Bible, and there
was no conquest of the land of Canaan by Joshua." I would
refer everyone to check out two sources to answer these "educated"
professors that we entrust our children's futrue to in the institutions
of higher learning. 1) A documentary series called
"Pharaohs and Kings", by Historian - Archeologist David Rohl, and
2) A documentary on "The Real Mt. Sinai", by Bob Cornuke and
Larry Williams. I use these as part of my Seminar Series
on the book The
Paradigm Trilogy. These two documentarys will
provide you with evidence which suports the Bible's historical setting,
which has yet to make it into the mainstream of academia due to
political pressures (Egypt and Saudi Arabia).

Noah's
Flood and Angels - July - One
of the controverseis in understanding the reason for the flood and God
killing even the babies in the flood is the understanding of Genesis
6:3-4, and whether this reference is to angels, or godly men, or what
(see
The Paradigm
Trilogy
pgs 63-64). Even Paul in
1 Corin. 11:10 makes a reference to women needing to cover their heads,
"because of the angels", meaning that women, even today, should shelter
their beauty, and that in the past (Genesis), angels had harmed them.

Hate
and Preaching
- May 2004 - Many of you have no doubt heard that 23 US
Senators have endorsed Senate Bill 16, which adds the terminology
"intimidate" to the language regarding discrimination and hate
speach.. This will in effect limit the ability of pastors and
Christian schools to teach that homosexual behavior is a sin.
the tool the government will use is the "tax-exempt status" of the
organizations. Unless Churches and schools follow the public
intrest - as defined by the law and the courts - their tax status will
change, and they must pay taxes, and even then they must still abide by
the law of the land, which is being redefined to include sex / gendeer
and sexual orentation / behavior into the same catagory as race in
defining descrimination.

2012
and the END OF THE WORLD - I
have had several conversations concerning the year 2012. This
is the newest date on the horizon for the predicted end of the
world. The book The
Paradigm Trilogy addresses this date, as well as
the supposed Rapture.
The Rapture / Resurrection event is also addressed in a special Hand
Out - see the Hand
Out List.

Jesus
and the 7 Feasts of Israel - As
we move from Passover (Easter), to Pentacost (Feast of Weeks), it is
good to reflect on the fact that God gave these 7 Feasts to Moses 3,500
years ago - 1,500 years before Christ came - and - they are to be
celebrated on very specific days. AND - Jesus fulfilled each
of these dates exactly for the first 4 feasts. There are 3
remaining Feasts in the year, and many feel these too will
be fulfilled by Jesus upon His return -
again, exactly upon the specific dates given by God to Moses.
Once again, I trust not in dates, but in Christ - however, Christ
commanded us to be aware of the seasons and signs, and that we should
not be surprised - Matt. 16:3, 1 Thess. 5:1-6. I do believe
time is short - whether it be the years left in this body of mine which
gets older each day, or whether it be due to Christs return.
These issues involving the 7 Feasts, and many others, are covered in a
special
Hand Out on the 7 Feasts ( see
list of Hand Outs ), which is used in conjunction with the book The
Paradigm Trilogy and the Seminars we offer. The Seminars are
available on CD's for those who cannot attend.

God
uses the word Reconcile to point to our True Creation -
March 2004 - As pointed out in the book The Paradigm Trilogy, both the
Old and New Testament project this theme of reconciliation.
Both in the book of Hosea, and in the story of the prodigal son, this
is the central theme - we
were once together, and have been seperated, and
now look forward to the day of reconciliation. In fact, all 3
parables in Luke 15 along with the prodigal son share this
understanding of reconciliation ( also see the Hand
Out on Predestination ).

Carbon
14 shows Evolution Theory is flawed -
March 2004 - New technology allows for science to double the accuracy
and sensitivity of it tests. What these test results show is
surprising. Science now knows that ALL
specimens are measurable with C-14,
meaning that NO life
form can be older than 90,000 years
maximum,
which is the new outer range of the C-14 tests. Of course you
won't find this in any text books, not in high school, or in college,
but you can read the reports in various scientific journals.

The
Bible's TWO Accounts of Creation -
Feb. 2004 - Concerning the Genesis section of the book The
Paradigm Trilogy pages 47-55 and 171-172, the
professor of Hebrew and ancient Semitic Languagess at
ClaremontTheological Graduate University, Loren Fisher, confirms, as
many other have that the context of the Hebrew shows two
seperate accounts
of
creation,
two seperate
narratives of the
Genesis creation events.

The
Earth BECAME Void, not "was" void - Genesis 1:2 -
Jan. 2004 - David Eckman, professor of Hebrew at Western Seminary, as
well as Groman Grey in the book "Age of the Universe", agree, as do
many others, that in Genesis 1, the earth was NOT in a vapor, gas
or formation state in verse 2. The Hebrew contextual usage is
that the earth instead is fully formed in verse 1, and is
transformed
to a
barren and desolate state in verse 2. As one reads The
Paradigm Trilogy, one will note that this is not
a "gap" for
evolution, but represents a Judgement
placed upon the earth, and its inhabitants.
