Comment Policy

Since I seem to get an overabundance of less-than-nice comments here, I wanted to make sure we are all clear on my comment policy. I am reluctant to delete comments, but if they do not follow these guidelines, there is a good chance they will be promptly deleted. Please be nice and play fair. Thank you.
1) Feel free to leave comments, but all disrespectful comments will be removed. This includes rude comments about the author or the persons presented in this blog (see point 2 below). I retain this right, and any negative comments about my decisions will be promptly deleted. (Exceptions, of course, are if you feel that your comment has been unjustly deleted -- I will consider it -- or if I accidently delete a comment.)
2) No profanity, slang, name-calling, pornographic terminology, etc. will be tolerated; such comments will be promptly deleted.
3) The views presented in this blog are the views of the blogger, as well as those of the ones being quoted (Keep in mind that sometimes opposing views will be presented.). For this reason, please do not leave any “debates” in the comments. You are welcome to add to the discussion if you have something to say that supports what has been presented, but please, no Bible bashing, name-calling, crude language/swearing, or rude comments. I want to keep this a viewer-friendly blog.
4) In the past, I have posted comments from those who disagree with my point of view. I do this because I hope to have a "discussion" -- NOT a debate. If you disagree with my responses to your comments and do not wish to discuss in a civilized manner (you prefer a good debate), this is not the place for you; please kindly go elsewhere or else see point 2 above and change accordingly.
5) If you post external links, particularly those that are anti-Christian or otherwise completely unrelated to the topic at hand, you risk your comment being promptly rejected.
6) You are free to copy any information presented on this blog if you obtain permission from the author first. And please reference this blog when you use its material.
7) You are free to link to this blog. If you wish for me to link to your blog, please contact me, and I will consider the request.
8) If you have a question about anything I have written, you can leave a comment, and I will help as best as I can. If you have a question about something not presented on this blog, or something that you would like to see, you can contact me. (However, please be aware that spam is NOT tollerated and will be promptly deleted.)

 With these rules in mind, I hope we can have a good discussion, while keeping a very friendly atmosphere. It is my prayer that what you read here will inspire, encourage, and strengthen you in your faith.

Did Pontius Pilate actually exist?

Antonio Ciseri's painting of Pontius Pilate presenting Christ to the crowd. For years, skeptics have claimed that Pontius Pilate, the one responsible for Jesus' execution, was nothing more than a mythical figure. Is this true? And whether or not it is true, what is the significance of this? The implications of this are simple: if Pontius Pilate, did not exist, then the critics are right in stating that the Bible is in error. However, if he did exist, then it proves once again that the Bible is accurate in its details. Let's begin by examining Matthew 27:2. It reads, "And when they had bound Him, they led Him away, and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor." Was Pilate really a governor? Luke 3:1 seems to agree: "Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea , and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias t...

April Fools

Today is April Fool's Day. While I am not too enthralled with the idea of playing tricks on people, I wanted to share a little story with you all (no offense meant to those to whom it refers): An atheist complained to a Christian friend, "You Christians have your sacred holidays, such as Christmas and Easter. Jews celebrate their national holidays, such as Passover and Yom Kippur. But we atheists have no recognized national holidays. It's unfair discrimination." His friend replied, "Why don't you celebrate April first?" On a more serious note, I would like to remind you all that we are called to be "fools for Christ" (1 Corinthians 4:10). This does not mean that we are to act stupid in the name of Christ; rather, it means that we are to go about God's business -- even if it makes us look like fools in the process. Today is as good a day as any to go out and spread the Gospel, to be a fool for Christ!  P.S. Don't forget : The Online ...

Quote of the Week: Ravi Zacharias On The Problem of Evil

Image
"When you say there's too much evil in this world you assume there's good. When you assume there's good, you assume there's such a thing as a moral law on the basis of which to differentiate between good and evil. But if you assume a moral law, you must posit a moral Law Giver, but that's Who you're trying to disprove and not prove. Because if there's no moral Law Giver, there's no moral law. If there's no moral law, there's no good. If there's no good, there's no evil. What is your question?" ~ Ravi Zacharias, in response to the objection, "There cannot be a God, because there is too much evil in this world"
