QA: Can Scriptures Address Modern Problems?

QUESTION: Scriptures are too old to be relevant in today's world, with modern problems, right? - May 30, 2021   

ANSWER: WRONG. If you need to ask, you haven't read Scripture, OR years of my articles in particular.

1. The Cycle of Life proves that what God said is not outdated! Ecclesiastes 1:4, 9-11 reflects God's wisdom. What happens hasn't changed, only the speed and method. Mankind still has the same fleshly aspirations, but with accumulated knowledge of God's World to achieve them. 

2. Please read hundreds of articles I have written over the years to show Scripture after Scripture that apply to everyday events. ... Read More of this and other QA in Questions Answered.

Judemental Cancel Culture: Mini Article Now Available

“Also do not take to heart everything people say, Lest you hear your servant cursing you. For many times, also, your own heart has known That even you have cursed others” (Ecclesiastes 7:21-22). How hypocritical is anyone who condemns others for that of which they, themselves, have done? Have the “cancel culture judges” never used the words they now hold in contempt? “As it is written: ‘There is none righteous, no, not one’” (Romans 3:10). Jesus said: "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?” (Matthew 7:1-3). No “cancel culture judge” has spoken so perfectly to be qualified to judge/condemn anyone else! - 6-29-2021 This and other short thoughts are available in Words of Wisdom Articles.

Cancel or Cancer? New Mini Article

“Do not remove the ancient landmark Which your fathers have set”          (Proverbs 22:28). God’s Wisdom plainly states that no one should “plow under” the entire society. Without “history,” details of The Creation by God would be forgotten: “This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens”     (Genesis 2:4). “History” shows God destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah “making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly” (2 Peter 2:6). A “canceling of culture” spreads “profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness” like “cancer” (2 Timothy 2:16-17). “The wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them” (Colossians 2:6-7). “History” reminds us of what we were, but seek to change. - March 15, 2021

QA: Why is there so much to fear?

​QUESTION: Why is there so much to fear? - January 12, 2020

ANSWER: Because the wicked are in charge of the media which promotes it. (Proverbs 10:24-25Wicked people have more reason to live in fear because they do not honour God's wisdom in their lives; they naturally assume others also live as they do. Therefore they cannot assume anyone else lives honourably. ... Read More in Questions Answered.
