The Cosmic Egg is a Circular Argument

The most commonly-held materialistic explanation for the origin of the universe is that a ‘cosmic egg’ or ‘singularity’ expanded into the complex, ordered system we see today. To invoke this ‘cosmic egg’ is a circular argument. Let me explain.

The common understanding of the term “universe” is the sum of all space, time, and matter that exists. The properties and characteristics of a physical universe prohibit an ‘eternal’ universe, demanding that the universe came into existence at a specific time in history. But in order for the ‘big bang’ to have occurred, either matter and/or energy must have been self-existent, or they came into being, uncaused out of nothing. Both of these proposals are scientific impossibilities.

The Big Bang theory proposes a singularity or ‘cos...

The Atheist’s Problem is Not Lack of Evidence

Atheists are not free to redefine the terms. “Atheist” means “no God”. The atheist argues that he does not believe there is a God, saying there is no evidence for God. But his argument is a distraction; regardless of his wording, the atheist proposes ‘no God”, and when he is offered the evidence, he rejects it. He insists that evidence “doesn’t count”, asserting the consequent that his position is true due to the evidence being false without regard to the nature or essence of the evidence offered. There is no real effort to consider what he’s shown.

The Bible states that the very creation shows the existence and nature of God...

A Summary of Calvinism

A sovereign, all-powerful God in eternity before time planned how he would create a being almost as smart and powerful as himself, for the purpose of overthrowing him to prove God greater.

 To ensure this, he willed and caused this being to rebel against his authority, to deliberately entice God’s favourite and particular creation to also rebel and reject God’s favour, beginning a struggle that would span all time, and end with an eternity of men in perpetual, relentless torment as the condemnation for their rebellion. He purposed and caused not only the rebellion of the first being, but also that of his particular creation, man, and the concurrent destructive effect on both the function and character of all the rest of his creation.

 To show himself merciful and gracious, he would n...

Christmas Meditation 1

Political and social unrest dominate the news , and economic distress grips the entire world. People are easily overcome with a sense of hopelessness and fear. As we approach Christmas this year, it seems appropriate to refocus our attention on the reason we celebrate at all. Christ entered history in times like ours: the Mediterranean world was under the occupation of the brutal Roman Empire. Corruption and abuse abounded. Taxes were high, the common man oppressed, the ruling powers capricious and often malevolent. Citizens were disillusioned; the nation of Israel had lost sight of their calling, having lost sight of the God Who had called them. The effects of wide-spread paganism were superstition, devaluation of life, and a lack of natural affection among men.

I wish to offer you a medi...

Christmas Meditation 2

That He gave His only begotten Son:

A twig comes forth from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch from his roots shall be fruitful. The Spirit of YHWH rests upon Him: the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the YHWH; He delights in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His ears, but with righteousness shall He judge the poor, and corrects with equity the meek of the earth, and He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the belt of His loins and faithfulness the belt of His heart.” Is 11:1

“Behold the angel of the Lord appeared to [Joseph] in a dream, saying ‘...

Christmas Meditation 3

“But you Bethlehem Ephratah, little among the thousands of Judah; from you shall He come forth for Me, to be ruler in Israel, and his goings-forth are from of old, from the days of eternity.” Micah 5:2

“And she brought forth her firstborn son, and swaddled Him and laid Him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.

And shepherds were in the same region, staying in the field, and keeping night-watch over their flock. And lo, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared a great fear. And the angel said unto them, “Fear not! For look, I bring you good news of great joy, which shall be to all people. For to you was born today a Saviour Who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David...

Christmas Meditation 4

“In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:1-5

There was a man sent from God whose name was John. This same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was to bear witness of that Light, that was the True Light which enlightens everyone who comes into the world. John 1:6-9 

That whosoever believes on Him should not perish, but have  everlasting life.           

“He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, ...

“Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, and he who has no money; come, buy, and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Christmas Meditation 6

“He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. he came to His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, to those who believe on His name; who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory; the glory a of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:10-14

“Jesus said to [Martha], ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who has faith in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whoever lives and has faith in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?'” John 11:25-26

“Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, and he that has no money, come, buy, and eat. Yea, come buy wine and milk without money and without price.
