First published August 8, 2009 No Escaping Jesus - Reality points to the one true Savior Certainly there are other religions and practices, but the fact that they exist do not qualify them as gates to the eternal place of wonder. As I said before, Jesus never mentioned any other gates as there was no need to. That might sound arrogant to someone who believes in including all religions as equivalent. In a legal sense, all religions are indeed equivalent. It would be a negative for Christianity to be forced on a person; anathema to the whole message of Jesus. Religions are equivalent in that they are treated equally in the body politic, but that does not mean they are equally valid. The truth is that Christianity is a world apart from all other religions. All other faiths rely on acts performed by its believers; the five pillars of Islam, the steps to Nirvana, etc. Yet this does not match the reality into which every human being is born into.

First published on March 11, 2012 I started out 16 years ago on a part-time mission to analyze the Bible and prove that it was false.

Throughout Genesis to the end of the Hebrew Bible - the Old Testament - the world is being primed to receive the Messiah. In the New Testament, here He comes. Our Hero. And, in this slow motion train wreck of the old Jim, God reach...

My Christian blog (MoralScienceClub.Blogspot.Com)  was taken down after 12 years. I still don't understand how you can have a blog for that long and suddenly have it disappear. Luckily, I can still access the articles through a back door allowing me to edit the posts. It's a great opportunity to start afresh and bring back only the best of that blog. This is one of the most-read articles of that blog. First published on June 17, 2015 Matthew 5 - from the Sermon on the Mount Salt and Light 13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.  14 "You are the light of the world." Jesus' metaphors are quite amazing. They speak to us on multiple levels into our individual lives. With the salt metaphor, Jesus makes several stunning revelations. First, He's referring to His disciples as salt and light,...
