    Queen of heaven in the Scripture

    Jeremiah, chapter 10
    interpretation - meaning - commentary - explanation

    This chapter can be divided into two parts. Part one (1-15) deals with prayer to idols. Part two (16-25) deals with the dramatic spiritual conditions in Judah.

    (1) Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: (2) Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at

    Isaiah chapter 44:9-20
    interpretation - meaning - commentary - explanation

    Let me state strongly and clearly at the outset: this chapter is nothing more than a description of the disregard for the second commandment contained in Exodus 20.4-6 " Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down

    Charlie Hebdo - reasons for the attack

    At the outset, I will point out that I disapprove of the attack carried out in 2015 on the editorial board of the atheist tabloid Charlie Hebdo, and condemn this form of crackdown on spiritual arrogants. I sympathize with all those killed who were not involved in the creation of this tabloid, and with those who suffer the loss of loved ones. I condemn in the strongest possible terms the murderers and the murdered

    The 2nd commandment vs. the 11th commandment

    The second commandment (called the eleventh by many), you will find in Exodus 20.4-6 and Deuteronomy 5.8-10 and it reads:

    King James Version
    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for

  • Unbiblical celebration of the new year, New Year's Eve

    Celebrating the new year and the Bible

    I am surprised by those Christians who believe in God and yet celebrate the welcome of the new year lavishly. The very fact of getting drunk on this day goes beyond biblical standards, and the arrival of the new year shows that the Savior did not come in the passing year.

    Jesus promised to come again and take the saved to heaven for 1,000 years, to then return together to earth and carry out the final

  • False celebration of Christmas and Easter

    Celebrating Christmas and Easter vs. hypocrisy

    As every year comes Christmas and Easter and the false celebration of them. Few people will actually direct their thoughts toward Jesus, and even fewer will pray together. Artificially breaking a wafer and wishing a person who is and will be gossiped about is not unusual. Worst of all, however, is the ghastly celebration of the holidays by atheists and their mindless sending of wishes in which they utter

  • Evolution and the big bang theory according to Pope Benedict

    The pope and the theory of evolution

    The words of former Pope Benedict XVI that "the theory of evolution and the big bang do not contradict the biblical description" have further plunged the Roman Catholic Church into deviant extra-biblical teachings. This is another attack by the church on the Bible that not everyone recognizes.

    What the Church has gained from the words of Pope Benedict XVI:

    1. To gain new
