Has Western Civilization permanently decline? Is this downward trend irreversible? Was it predicted in the Bible to happen before the Second Advent?
Was prophecy utilized in the biblical text to prevent God's people from sliding into apostasy or was it designed to predict events in the Last Days none of which have come true? The purpose of Prophecy is closely related to a warning of a close enemy or to stir up revival in the House of God.
Is the Bible God's Word or is it simply the evolution of Israel's religious growth and canon? Why do we falsely claim an inerrant response by the receiver of God's revelation when this never was the process? Only God is infallible.
Why are Science and Religion at odds with each other in the modern world? The biblical text is not a scientific treatise on how our world operates. Genesis is a temple text which describes Yahweh's story and worship in the creation process. It was never intended to be a scientific or young earth account.
Christians are often accused of preaching hell fire and damnation but Judgment can be an exercise in Wisdom which leads to forgiveness and pardon. We need to rethink the Heaven-Hell paradigm that the church borrowed from pagan ideologies.
Jesus was a Jew and taught Jewish sayings as a Rabbi. The Western church often misses the intent of Jesus' words and uses the biblical text to place believers in spiritual bondage.
Our cultural milieu struggles to understand egotism versus humility. God has created both to be understood through the operation of ego strength. Our religious world confuses the meaning and so the humanists. We need to learn the art of being human.
Is our modern economic system creating two classes of people- Masters and Serfs? Why have we not learned the lessons of history? Our people in the West do not seem to know who the enemy actually is. Maybe it's us!
