“Scholar of American Religion” Doesn’t Know Much about Christianity

In a USA Today article, Stephen Prothero writes that “Sanders, a secular Jew, is the most Christian candidate in this race.” Prothero self-identifies as a “scholar of American religion.” All that means is that he has a PhD from a secular institution, but it doesn’t guarantee that he really knows that

Bible Scholar Says Eve Wasn’t Made from Adam’s Rib but His . . .

The Bible says that God took a rib from Adam’s side and created Eve. The process is never explained just like the process of creation itself is never explained. Now there’s a new theory: “A professor of the Bible in California has posed the theory that the Adam and Eve

Joseph and Mary were Neither Homeless Nor Refugees

The Christmas story has been turned into a political message about homelessness. Recently, liberals have claimed that when Mary and Joseph could not find a room in Bethlehem – you guessed it – it’s just like today’s refugee problem. Never let a contrived Bible story go to waste. The problem

The Despicable Use of ‘Widows and Orphans’ in Refugee Debate

It’s almost a forgone conclusion that liberals will use the Bible to support a cause if they can find something in it that they can use to defend a pet policy. The latest example is the refugee crisis. Biblical law has a lot to say about resident aliens, sojourners, strangers,

Is It Always Wrong to Discriminate?

We’re seeing a radical push by so-called Progressives to redefine human nature by an appeal to the God who created the natural world and all things in it. You may have seen this meme: When did using your religious beliefs to discriminate against others become a Christian value? Choose love.

If Obama is a Christian, then What About His Non-Christian Policies?

I’m amazed that the media and a number of GOPers are saying that President Obama is a Christian. How can he be a Christian when he supports killing unborn babies, supports homosexuality and same-sex marriage, and continues to use his high office to force religious institutions to go against their
