“…the biological theorists don’t know that Kant has analyzed why one cannot have an immanentist theory of evolution. One can have empirical observation but no general theory of evolution because the sequence of forms is a mystery; it just is there and you cannot explain it by any theory. The world cannot be explained. It is a mythical problem, so you have a strong element of myth in the theory of evolution.” (Eric Voegelin, CW Vol. 33, The Drama of Humanity Conversations, III, Myth as Environment, p. 307)

Canadian Christian pastor Derek Reimer of Mission 7 Ministries will spend Easter in jail after he was arrested Tuesday for a third time in a five-week span by members of the Calgary Police Service (CPS) on charges relating to protesting drag queen story times at public libraries.Reimer’s previous bail conditions state that he must stay at least 300 meters from LGBTQ events. Tuesday’s arrest appears to involve a slew of new charges filed under a recently enacted Calgary anti-street harassment bylaw.

As Christians we are called to stand firm in our faith even in the midst of turmoil and chaos of the world around us. Recent news of the horrific massacre of six Christians including three young children in Nashville, the news of President Trump’s sham indictment, and the conviction of Douglas Mackey may be discouraging and disheartening, but in these moments we must remember that our hope and our strength come from a higher power.

Methodist Bible college in the U.K. fired a Christian theologian and threatened to report him as a terrorist because of his tweets in opposition to homosexuality, his attorneys claimed.Dr. Aaron Edwards, who taught theology at Cliff College in Derbyshire, England, was dismissed from the school after being accused of "bringing the college into disrepute" on social media last month."Homosexuality is invading the church," Edwards tweeted on Feb. 19. "Evangelicals no longer see the severity of this [because] they're busy apologizing for their apparently barbaric homophobia, whether or not it's true."This *is* a ‘Gospel issue,’ by the way. If sin is...

Dr. David Jeremiah - End Times Warning | The Beast In The Sea of Humanity

Dr. David Jeremiah ✝️ End Times Warning | The coming of The Mark of the Beast

Although this won't be published until the first week of January or so, today's date is Saturday, December 31st, 2022. The last day in what turned out to be a prophetically supercharged year. In paraphrasing my friend Lee Brainard, we have moved out of the times of simply living through prophetic doctrine, to the times of living through prophetic reality. As I shared with him and some others, I have this weird feeling going on in my brain at the present. This feeling isn't so much prophetic, as it is a mixture between nostalgia, dread, and excitement as we cross...

We live in the age of surveillance. Cameras (attached to facial recognition systems), satellites, street sensors, license plate readers, drones, credit cards, computers, phones, televisions, “smart” devices, and other technologies watch every move we make. Corporations use this avalanche of data to make money. But does it work? Not always. According to Business Insider, Amazon is on track to lose $10 billion dollars on its Alexa division this year. That’s billion… with a “B.” Amazon is big, but the loss of that kind of money still hurts. According to Macrotrends, “Amazon net income for the twelve months ending September 30,...

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has been forcing teachers across the country to follow certain guidelines demonstrating their commitment to “LGBTQ inclusivity” in their classroom instructions. As reported by Breitbart, the CDC-issued “assessment tool” asks teachers numerous questions about school employees and their loyalty to the concept of “queer theory,” and forcing sexual education teachers to use gender-neutral language, forbidding them from using terms such as “boy” and “girl.” The guidelines also urge teachers to advocate for membership in their school’s “Gay Straight Alliance,” and decorating their classrooms with gay pride flags and other pro-gay symbolism, as well as...

So-called heretics from history had some major predictions for 2023, and most of them revolve around the apocalypse. Let’s start with Nostradamus, a French astrologer who forecast the arrival of the Antichrist, World War III, mass depopulation, a drying ocean, and the burning down of the British monarchy — all in 2023. In his writings, Nostradamus predicted “seven months Great War [and] people dead through evil” as our apocalypse appetizer, according to the New York Post. As for Buckingham Palace, apparently it’s going to see a “celestial fire on the royal edifice,” the outlet noted. Some might argue that this...

New battle lines are being drawn in the US by a right-wing Christian movement set on what it sees as its divine mission - to spread its beliefs and messages using political power. So what is Christian nationalism and why is it flourishing now?/... ...God and country is one of the oldest and most influential currents in US politics. It ebbs and flows throughout American history. It's at high tide now because conservative Christians feel they're on the losing end of demographic and cultural changes. .... ...What's different now about such Christian political activism is that the country is no...

Remember the Trump years? Back then we were told the administration, like its head, President Donald J. Trump, was deeply unserious: impulsive, ignorant, possibly corrupt and always vulgar. All in all, a disgrace to the hallowed history of American government. One argument for electing candidate Joseph Robinette Biden was that a Biden administration would restore normalcy to Washington. Instead of crazed, self-obsessed MAGA performers, a Biden team would be made up of sober, sensible establishment types. Boring, perhaps, but not crazy. The problem with that argument, it turns out, is that our establishment nowadays isn’t sober or sensible or boring....

President Joe Biden attacked the 'extreme' Supreme Court for threatening rights as he signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law Tuesday He also vowed to protect transgender children and 'callous' laws targeting them 'Congress is acting because an extreme Supreme Court has stripped away the rights afforded to millions of Americans that existed for half a century,' he said

Volodymyr Zelensky has been branded a "small demon" in a bizarre Russian TV debate over the Ukrainian president's resistance to Vladimir Putin's geopolitical ambitions in the region. One pundit called on the Russian Orthodox Church to officially name the Ukrainian leader to be the "Antichrist" during the heated discussions. He told Russia1: "We need to be very specific as to what we emphasize and not be shy about it. 'I believe that the Orthodox church should proclaim that Zelensky is officially the coming of the Antichrist.

Nearly a quarter of countries around the world used physical force to stop religious gatherings in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new study. The study published Tuesday by the Pew Research Center also found religious groups in more than a third of those countries defied the lockdowns. Authorities used physical means, including arrests and prison sentences, to enforce COVID-related mitigation measures in 23% of 198 countries and territories in a study. In the U.S., police in New Jersey arrested 15 people at a rabbi’s funeral that violated the state’s ban on public gatherings, according to the report....

Get out your Bible and turn to Daniel 9:24-27. If the Antichrist is not actually found in this passage, dispensationalism unravels. While dispensationalists may have different systems to find the Antichrist in this passage, here’s one way that they interpret this: Per Daniel 9:26 the prince (who was to come) that destroyed the city and sanctuary must be a future descendent of the Romans who destroyed the city and sanctuary in AD 70. It is merely ASSUMED that this person is the Antichrist. It is the Antichrist who, sometime in our future, will make (“confirm”) a covenant with Israel, and...

Israeli author and university professor Yuval Noah Harari said that most Israelis have moved on from the two-state solution in an interview with CNN on Wednesday. Harari, who is best known for his best-selling books Sapiens, Homo Deus and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, said that "a lot of the Israeli public has gradually switched from the belief in the two-state-solution to an implicit belief in the 'three-classes-solution.'" Harari also lectures at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and has given interviews with media outlets abroad and on American late-night talk shows, largely due to the worldwide success and appeal...
