Three New Daily Reading Bibles

Sorry about going ‘no contact’ for the past month. I’ve been completely dedicated to getting three daily reading Bibles published on Android:

The Bible in Basic English – BBE

The Literal Standard Version – LSV

The World English Bible – WEB

The hard part is done. All that’s left is  to bundle them up into individual Android Apps and publish them on the Google Play store. This should happen rather quickly, since the core development for each app is already done.

The question is… what’s next?

When Heroes Walk Among Us

There are times when you hear a story and feel the need to drop everything and talk about it. I have done this many times and have a collection of such stories. This one is about a man who created an electronic Bible application out of a love for God and His words:

Denys Dolganenko

His example inspired others to join him in his effort to spread the word of God. One of those men was Oleg Safonov.

Denys is Ukrainian

Oleg is Russian

Let that sink in…

Why Israel?

Why do most Christians never ask the question?

Yes, I know that there are many, many Christians who love the Land of Israel and her people. It’s wonderful to see. But, few seem to step back and ask why.

Now, you aren’t a bad Christian if you don’t ask such questions, but there is a depth of meaning here that many of us forget, as we go about our lives seeking to serve God.

So, let’s ask the question:

Why Israel?

Missing The Bigger Picture

We have become so intent on anticipating one tiny corner of the Last Days – the coming of the Antichrist – that we’ve missed the biggest part of End Times Prophecy. Yes, the Antichrist is one scary dude, and no one wants to be caught by his arrival. But, he’s only a small part of what’s happening.

More importantly, we’ve forgotten that Satan isn’t the one orchestrating the events that we see coming toward us. God is doing that. And, the single biggest topic about the Last Days is this one:

The Redemption of Israel

The Trouble With Jacob’s Trouble

Have you ever seen someone try to fit a mattress into a Honda Civic?

Right. It can’t be done.

Unfortunately, we do the same thing in our beliefs about the Last Days. We take one of the biggest topics written about by the prophets and try to stick it into the Honda Civic of Eschatology – the tiny sliver of time that we call the Great Tribulation.

What is that huge topic spoken of by the prophets?

The Redemption of Israel.

That is a truly gigantic mattress to try and fit inside such a tiny car.

So, maybe we shouldn’t.

End The Rebellion

After having done the deep dive into Bad Eschatology, I find myself shocked at how man-centered our faith has become. We no longer want to know what God says. We just want to know what other men say.

When was the last time your pastor prepared a sermon without consulting a book written by some dead guy?

It’s really rare.

Then there are our Bible translations. Every single Bible translation is riddle with errors – some of them intentional.

Why is all this happening?

We’ve become rebels against God.

Conclusion – Bad Eschatologies Have One Thing In Common

Bad Eschatology – Part 12

Writing this series has helped clarify a couple points that I hadn’t thought of as so foundational:

Our eschatology directly impacts what we believe about God.

Except for a tiny few – no one understands the Redemption of Israel, or even cares about it.

Our churches sent their pastors to seminary, where they were taught a man-centered faith. They learned ‘scholarship’ and how to be a ‘theologian’. They were immersed in the thoughts of men who promoted false doctrines of the worst kind. So, it’s no wonder that so few understand the Bible.

Historic Premillennialism – The (Almost) Dead Eschatology

Bad Eschatology – Part 11

We have finally reached the most Biblical eschatology that we can find. It has the most literal view. It doesn’t insert ideas into the Bible that are not there. It tries hard to not symbolize that which is not symbolic.

It is the least popular eschatology, precisely because it tries to be truthful. It doesn’t offer an easy way out of suffering. It doesn’t cry “onward, Christian soldier!” It doesn’t paint a rosy view of the future.

Unfortunately, modern Historic Premillennialists lost the plot, and killed off what was good about their view of the Last Days.

Why must we always do that?

Postmillennialism – Amillennialism On Steroids

Bad Eschatology – Part 10

Back in the 1950s, Postmillennialism barely deserved a footnote in any discussion of eschatology. It had withered into something of a fringe movement. But, just a decade or so later, all of that changed with the arrival of Dominion Theology and the Charismatic movements of the ’60s and ’70s.

Just as Augustine’s Amillennialism put a sword in the hand of the Roman Catholic Church, Postmillennialism has done the same for corrupt ‘christian’ movements who seek political power. Christian Reconstructionism, Kingdom Now Theology, New Apostolic Reformation and Theonomy are all buzzwords for these people. And, it’s bad news for all of us.
