Thoughts on Hosting a Gay Wedding   In May, 2015, I hosted a wedding for two women in the restaurant I ran at the time. As opposed to denying them, we treated them with the utmost respect, and they raved about our hospitality. The wedding reception took up the upper level of the restaurant in full view of the rest of the eatery and its guests. Ironically, one of the ladies, the more masculine one, dressed as the groom and the more feminine one dressed as the bride. No one outside of the party realized it was a gay wedding.    In the hospitality industry there has been a lot of controversy over Christians baking cakes for gay weddings; i.e. being asked to sell a product or service for a gay wedding event. While I believe that it is right to honor God's commands regarding marriage, I disagree with the refusal to serve the gay potential customer's request. We are a third party and Jesus does not mention a third party when he said, "If you can follow these commands,...

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. We begin as babies unable to ...

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. I believed in God in that creator sense of all things, but that God could get involved in our affairs and that men could understand him was, to me, absurd. The Bible was nonsense to me. I wanted to identify areas where it needed to be replaced. If you read this blog that I started in February 2005, you will quickly realize that something radical happened. Long story short, my arguments fell one by one. I found this to be a teflon gospel, and the thing that surprised me most was Jesus. There He was in the very Beginnings. In Genesis 3:15 - God's first response to sin was to send His Son Jesus. Did you know that? 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...
