Whether ’tis Nobler in the mind to suffer…

Whether ’tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,

The Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocks
That Flesh is heir to? Continue reading

Neil Postman, Technopoly, and Amusing Ourselves to Death

“The Technopoly story is without a moral center. It puts in its place efficiency, interest, and economic advance. It promises heaven on earth through the conveniences of technological progress.

The origins of the universe and life on earth are mysteries, yet modern science, in order to jettison God from our world, insists on providing pseudoscientific explanation for both of these, asserting these “explanations” as “facts”, and hiding the truth: science has no answers, other than mystical ones, which require faith to believe in, that are not scientific but religious… Continue reading

When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.

Are the Jews God’s chosen people?

It’s a long story, but yes: the Jews are God’s chosen people, which is why, when they rejected Christ, Christ rejected them and the gospel went to the Gentiles.

In fact, Jesus was sent only to the Jews. He was not sent to the Gentiles:
