  • Conservative Review #213  posted 1/29/2012  (HTML)   (PDF)

    Did you know that there were 10's of thousands of demonstrators in Washington D.C. this past week; but the media did not cover it. What was it and why was it ignored?

    Many excellent quotations in Say What? from this past week.

    Wolf Blitzer: “Congressman Paul. You said the U.S. should talk to everyone. Imagine you're in the Oval Office, you speak to Raul Castro on the phone. What would you say to him?”

    Ron Paul: “Well ... I'd ask him what he called about, you know?”

    15 Questions the media would ask Barack Obama, if he were a Republican:
    1) Numerous Mexican citizens and an American citizen have been killed with weapons knowingly provided to criminals by our own government during Operation Fast and Furious. If Eric Holder was aware that was going on, do you think he should step down as Attorney General? Were you aware that was going on and if so, shouldn't you resign?
    2) In 2010 you said Solyndra, which gave your campaign a lot of money, was "leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future." Today, Solyndra is bankrupt and the taxpayers lost $500 million on loans that your administration was well aware might never be paid off when you made them. What do you say to people who say this is evidence of corruption in your administration?
    But, he is a Democrat, so no one asks these questions; or the other 13 found in this issue. Plus, another few that I added.

    Still always more than you can read. Enjoy!

  • Conservative Review #212  posted 1/22/2012  (HTML)   (PDF) From this Week’s Events: so, did you hear how the ozone hole over the North Pole is being aggravated by cold temperatures?

    Do you know about the various green companies that are getting federal dollars and then going belly up?  And President Obama has more money to give them.  And how many people are reporting on this from the mainstream media (the Obama Media Complex): one (1) person.

    Did you know that 3/4ths of the Egyptian Congress is now in the hands of Islamists?  Remember being told by the brilliant media sources that the Muslim Brotherhood makes up only 10%, so we don’t need to worry about them in the election.

    Under Say What? did you know there are a dozen people accusing the Republicans of all sorts of racism, just this week alone.  Or did you hear this brilliant quote this week?  "We're smart enough to elect our own leaders but we're not smart enough to pick our own light bulbs."

    Do you know why Rick Perry pulled out of the race?  I’ve got a pretty good idea.

    One of my favorite columns is By The Numbers which has the following information:

    When President Obama took office, 32 million people were on food stamps.  Now 46 million are on food stamps.

    The Keystone XL pipeline will be 1700 miles of pipeline.  There is about 25,000 miles of pipeline already in the sand hills, which is the area that of concern to the Obama administration.  It would be impossible to estimate just how much natural gas pipeline is laid throughout the United States, as there is so much that brings natural gas into your house.

    There has been an 80% drop in news coverage of the economy from July 2011 to January 2012

    68 of Obama's top 350 bundlers in the upcoming 2012 election have already snagged high-status jobs in the administration.

    Under “By the Numbers” this week:

    President Obama is set up to borrow $6.5 trillion in his 4-year term, which is more than all of presidents from Washington to Clinton combined (over a period of 200 years). However, to be fair, the president has been talking about merging 6 federal agencies, to streamline the government. This will save taxpayers as much as $3 billion over a period of 10 years. I think the theory here is, the president does not figure you grasp the difference. Sure, he is borrowing a lot of money over here, but then he is also cutting a lot of money over there. So, here are some numbers you can understand. Your husband (or wife) just ran up your credit card debt $162,500 this year alone, but, don’t worry, because he (or she) has a plan that will save your family $30 a year! So, the spouse has run up over $160,000 in debt, but will make up for it by skipping Starbucks for a month.

    I’ve also begun to link up the headline news, so you can explore an article if it catches your interest:

    Here’s the list so far (according to CBS): Solyndra, Beacon Power, Evergreen Solar, SpectraWatt, and AES' subsidiary Eastern Energy are all Green Energy programs which have received billions from taxpayers by way of Obama, and are in bankruptcy. Nevada GeoThermal, SunPower, First Solar, and 4 other companies are in serious financial trouble.

    On the White House website, there is a graph that makes Obama’s spending look small compared to Bush’s. It is a lie. Almost everything about this partisan graph is a lie. The graph and explanation are included in this issue of CR.

    Occupy D.C. is resulting in a rat problem. Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has decided that pest control personnel relocate the rats across the Potomac River. As far as I can tell, he was not speaking metaphorically.

  • Conservative Review #210  posted 1/8/2012  (HTML)   (PDF)   I took a week off, but since the 1st, nobody can stop talking—particularly not President Obama.  As Kimberly Guilfoyls’s child said, “That man is always talking.”  In fact, everyone, after taking a week off, had a lot to say.  Extensive Say What column this week. 

    Who’s to blame for so much of the wealth distribution?  The elderly? 

    Great charts and cartoons, as always, like the chart below:  You won’t hear the news discussing these numbers for the next year.

  • Abraham's Spiritual life in 2000 B.C.  (HTML)  (PDF).  God mandates that Abraham (Abram until Gen. 17:5) walk before Him and to be complete (or, spiritually mature).  Therefore, in Abraham’s time, there must be the modus operandi of the spiritual life laid out so that Abraham could obey this command.  Determining what the spiritual life is for Abraham is the focus of this study.   Furthermore, understanding Abraham’s spiritual life helps us to better understand and appreciate our own spiritual lives. 
  • There is no new Conservative Review this week (1/1/2012).  :(   Click on "Blog" (on the left -hand column) for more information.
  • The List  (HTML)   (PDF) has been update as of 12/24/2011.  In case you are unfamiliar with this document, it is a list of a number of doctrinal resources--churches, entire book studies, and doctrine studies which are available online.  I have recently added about a dozen or so additional sources for various books of the Bible that have been exegete online.  I have adjusted the available doctrines online by placing the website with the greatest number of doctrines at the very first. 
  • Conservative Review #209  posted 12/24/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  I wasn’t sure if I was going to do an issue this week, but the quotations were great (Say What) and there were several outstanding articles.

    Several excellent articles by Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney and Thomas Sowell.

    Here is one of the many links.  Simply answer 11 questions, and USA Today will tell you which candidate you are most like.  This is for Democrats and Republicans (Obama and all the Republican candidates are there).  When I answered these carefully, I was not surprised at the results; but I was surprised to find that I agreed about 60% with my top 3 candidates.

    New bad lip readings; these are hilarious!  Newt Gingrich; “Rick James knows what I like; hip parties with elephant money”

    Plus it is filled with all kinds of stories that are not in the mainstream press.  Did you know that, during all of the arguing in Congress this past week, they passed a $1 trillion spending bill with no cuts and lots of pork and earmarks?  Ignored by the media.  Fast & Furious appears to be a plot for gun control and only CBS news has a reporter on it (I guess they are keeping their other reporters in reserve in case Sarah Palin suddenly jumps into the race).

  • Various Doctrines on War and the Military (HTML) (PDF)  Uploaded 12/21/2011.  These are doctrines which have been culled from various chapters of Samuel and Chronicles; and this document includes such doctrines as Genocides and Political Killings of the 20th Century; What is a Righteous War?; Why all of this War and Tactics in the Bible?; The Attitude of the Word of God toward the Military; What About the Believer and Wars His Country Engages in?; and many others.
  • Doctrines of the Military in Israel's History (HTML)  (PDF)  Uploaded 12/21/2011.  These are doctrines which are related to specific campaigns, strategies or history found in the Word of God.  The doctrines found in this document include A Summary of Saul's Military Victories; Why Do the Philistines Constantly War Against Israel?; Israel and Her Enemies: a Divine Perspective; Why Not a More Measured Response to Ammon?" Military Ethics, David and Joab; and many others.  These doctrines were also culled from various chapters of Samuel and Chronicles.
  • Conservative Review #208  posted 12/18/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)   The President told us this week that, he had no idea how terrible the economic situation was.  Rush Limbaugh, even before Obama took office, said that Obama would say this.  And, just in case you did not recall, there are quotations and stories from 2009 saying that the economy was as bad or nearly as bad as the Great Depression.

    Lots of other quotes as well in Say What.

    There are stories you have not heard.  You may recall Solyndra.  There is another story out there where money is being funneled to another Green company advised by an Obama supporter.  This won’t be in your newspaper.  It won’t be on TV.

    There is a new young writer out there, a 20 year old gal, who wants to be the next Ann Coulter.  Judge for yourselves; there is a story by her in this paper.

    Senator McCain discusses the HUGE spending bill which was introduced to the floor and passed the same day.  My guess is, they hope that you would get this bill mixed up with the other bill that Congress passed.  There are very few stories on the omnibus spending bill.  Just McCain railing against it on the Senate floor.  Both Democrats and Republicans passed this spending bill.  McCain didn’t vote for it, however.

    Great issue this week; I may or may not write an issue next week.

  • Updated: Hebrew for Dummies   (HTML)  (PDF) and Hebrew Grammar for Dummies.  (HTML)  (PDF).  Updated 12/15/2011.  I have inserted a slightly different approach to waw consecutives followed by imperfect verbs; and I should warn any young Hebrew student that this approach may not fly with your Hebrew professor.  The problem with some passages is, we have an imperfect tense when it is clear that the action is punctiliar and not future, continuous or prolonged (the common understanding for a imperfect tense).  As a result, some Hebrew books and professors teach the waw conversative which "converts" the Hebrew imperfect tense into a Hebrew perfect.  I never bought into this approach.  My explanation is (and this is based upon exegeting thousands of passages), that a series of imperfect verbs strung together by waw consecutives simply indicates successive action, which may be punctiliar or it may be prolonged.  What is being indicated by the passage is simply consecutive actions.
  • Why God Did Not Perfectly and Supernaturally Preserve the Bible  (HTML)  (PDF)  updated 12/14/2011.  A few minor changes in the doctrine and two tables were added, which compare New Testament manuscripts to manuscripts from the same era.
  • Conservative Review #207  posted 12/11/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  One of the columns of this review is “News Before it Happens.”  Rush Limbaugh, some time ago, said the only explanation for “Operation Fast and Furious” was a concerted effort by the left to get guns into the hands of violent people, and then use that in order to push for gun legislation.  Sounds pretty crazy, right?  Pretty paranoid?  Emails surfaced this week, reported on by the only reporter actually investigating “Operation Fast and Furious;” and that is the plan of the government.  The left has lost their argument against strong controls over the 2nd Amendment; so now, they have pulled this!

    60 Minutes had a show on the economic collapse and why no one has been arrested and tried?  If there is all of this evil occurring on Wall Street, why is it, 3 years later, that NO ONE is held accountable.

    Now and again, Rush Limbaugh breaks some important news on his show.  Here is something you never heard about: rapid re-scores used to qualify people who should not have been given a home loan.  The Mortgage company would contact the credit bureau and send in “correction letters” which would, for a few hours, negate the information on the credit report, and turn a 600 point score to a 700 point score.  Then they would close the loan and the score would later revert to its normal level.  I heard no reporting on this whatsoever.  However, this is another key to how all of these high-risk borrowers got loans.

  • Conservative Review #206  posted 12/4/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  A few weeks ago, I made the observation that the goofy trends in education had resulted in these Occupy Wall Street types; they are unrealistic and unfocused, which is what our present educational system has done to them.  This past week, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Adam Carolla (of all people) make the same observations.

    Say What? is always good; and there were so many instances of news bias, it was impossible to include them all.

    I realize that, the extreme slanting of the news is a constant theme of conservatives, but it is always worth noting.  I also suggest some stories that, as a voter, you would like to see, but you won’t—not on television and not in the NY Times or in the Washington Post.

    Here is a section you may like; headlines that you won’t find in your newspaper:

  • The Doctrine of The Geographical Will of God  (HTML)  (PDF).  Uploaded 11/28/2011  God no longer speaks to us by dreams, or Urim and Thummim, or in Person; so how are we to determine which way we should go; which city we should live in, which job we should take?  This is covered in this doctrine; and this doctrine was taken from the Basic Exegesis of the Bible, Lesson #160.
  • Why God Did Not Perfectly and Supernaturally Preserve the Bible  (HTML)  (PDF)  posted 11/28/2011.   God is capable of preserving every single letter in the Bible, supernaturally, if you will, throughout all of human history.  However, in nearly every chapter, there are minor errors; a difference of spelling; transposed letters, which change the meaning of a verb; text which has been dropped out.  Why did God allow this with His Word?  This is taken from the 2Samuel 13 (HTML)  (PDF) exegesis, where there are several problems with the Masoretic text.  2Samuel 13 is a work in progress.
  • Conservative Review #205  posted 11/27/2011  (HTML)   (PDF) A shorter issue than usual.  Still, there were a lot of people talking; especially liberals, many of whom took the Thanksgiving holiday as an opportunity to attempt to convert.

    Great article on how the media is trying to rewrite history right now about OWS.

    Another article about how the more that government does for us, the less freedom that we have.

    Two Thomas Sowell pieces.  You don’t think Obama can win?  The media in 4 days took down Herman Cain.

  • The Doctrine of Slavery posted 11/22/2011  (HTML)  (PDF).  This is actually a collection of 3 doctrines which are taken from the Basic Exegesis Series: The Biblical Doctrine of Slavery, Lessons from the Doctrine of Slavery, and Slavery in the United States.  This study takes a rational, unemotional view of slavery, slavery in the United States, reparations and other related topics; and helps the believer to understand not simply the historical context for slavery in the Bible, but to be able to apply this thinking to current social problems and injustices, as well as our involvement as Christians in social problems and inequity.
  • Conservative Review #204  posted 11/20/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  As with most issues, there is a lot of great material in this issue.  However, this is a particularly vital issue because I offer a solution for the housing market and FNMA and FHLMC which no one has thought of before.  This is unique; you will read this solution nowhere else.  This is a no-cost solution to this problem and it is a brilliant solution (and I have another solution for Detroit rattling around in my brain as well—some day, I will put it to paper).

    There is another issue getting some media play and well worth investigating.  Did you know that Senators et about a 12% return on their stock investments?  How are they this good?  Why aren’t they Wall Street investors.  If you don’t know about this, this is one of the most important stories of our time.  It’s standard procedure in Washington D.C. and has been going on for decades.

    There are at least 2 stories out there that should have been pursued with regards to the Occupy Wall Street movement; however, no journalist seems to have covered these logical stories.  Why?  Do journalists today just write about what they are told to write about?  Do none of them have any real interest in the stories that they cover?

    Excellent “Say What?” And “By the Numbers.” Also, you are probably unaware of about half of the news items mentioned; they often go unreported.  Or, read the missing headlines and ask yourself if you heard about any of these stories.

    A lot of articles on Herman Cain and how the media has covered similar scandals in the past.  This includes a complete list of those women who accused Clinton of sexual indiscretions.  How many do you think there were?  3?  4?

    A lot of nutty things are said by the occupiers; they are found in “Say What?”

    There is a good video about them as well, under “Watch This!”

    Paul Ryan’s speech (or a link to listen to it); great Peggy Noonan article, the 15 jobs bills which have already been passed and are sitting in the Senate—no one is talking about them, not Obama, not Harry Reid, not Nancy Pelosi, and certainly not the press.  This is a coalition to make it seem as though no one is doing anything except Obama.

    Some surprising Muslim statistics.

    I had a liberal on Flopping Aces who was upset at my “Say What?” column.  He was challenged to put together a list of brilliant things said by liberals and stupid things said by conservatives—over the past week.  I doubt that he can rise to the challenge.  I do everything I can to properly pass along what was really said in “Say What?”  I do not attempt to take quotes out of context or to misrepresent what is said.  If you read nothing else, you should read this column.  If you don’t think the press is one arm of the Democratic party, read what they are saying about Herman Cain this week.  Any conservative who is up in the polls will always ben hammered by the press.  The term I hear is, they are attempting to “Palinize” Cain.

That may or may not be the case, but Psalm 32 does lay out a complete description of the Old Testament spiritual life. There are a number of general topics in this psalm; among them are: man in the Old Testament did not fully understand the forgiveness of sin as we do; salvation in the Old and New Testaments; David’s discipline and the disciplining of your own children; the uses of Selah in this psalm; and the concept of God’s protection for the believer; The more formally developed doctrines include the Doctrine of Imputations, the Doctrine of Adam’s Original Sin (both taken from Robby Dean); the Stages of Discipline; Confession of Sins in the Old Testament; The Abbreviated Doctrine of the Ministry of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament; The Abbreviated Doctrine of Logistical Grace; How to be in the will of God and how to remain in the will of God; Guidance from the Word of God; and Psalm 32 Encapsulates the Spiritual Life.

  • Lucky Guesses found in Genesis  and What is Incontrovertible about the History of the Bible added 10/13/2011  (HTML)  (PDF)   There are a number of amazing things found in the first 15 chapters of Genesis; things which are difficult to explain, apart from Genesis being a part of the written Word of God.  There are matters of science, history and theology which Genesis speaks of, in some cases, 1000's of years before these things should have been known.  For instance; God spends an entire day making the atmosphere for the earth.  This is indeed extremely important to our well-being; but how come ancient man recognized this?  How did some old Bible guy come to the idea that, all around him is an atmosphere, and that God needed to create it?   This is one of 20 lucky guesses found in the first 15 chapters of Genesis.  As a companion piece, I have a number of points on what is incontrovertible about the history of the Bible.  I have heard a lot of goofy things in my life, such as, this or that group made wholesale changes to the Bible.  This list ought to help dispel such myths.  File this study under apologetics; so that you can give a reason for the faith which is within you.

  • The Dual Authorship of the Scriptures added 10/8/2011  (HTML)  (PDF).  This doctrine was taken out of Psalm 51 (below).  All of the related doctrines and text from Psalm 51 was gathered together in order to form this doctrine.  The idea is, because there are two authors of Holy Writ, man and God the Holy Spirit, it would therefore follow that, now and again, the man thinks one thing and writes it down; but God the Holy Spirit, the co-Author, uses those exact same words to express an often related but different concept.  This, in many ways, will revolutionize the interpretation of Old Testament Scripture, particularly the psalms and the prophetic passages.
  • Psalm 51 added 10/8/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)   To the best of my knowledge this psalm has never been properly or fully exegeted until now.  This is the psalm written by David after his affair with Bathsheba and after he had her husband killed.  Nathan had come to David causing David to come to himself, to recognize the evil that he had done; and David both confesses his sin to God in this psalm and he demands complete and total forgiveness by God.  One of the things which comes out in this psalm is the concept of the dual authorship of Scripture; there is a human author and a Divine Author (God the Holy Spirit), and it becomes clear in this psalm that, the human author writes one thing, and the Divine Author writes another.  From this will come a series of doctrines related to this dual authorship: The Co-Authorship of God the Holy Spirit and David.  What Did David (and Other Saints) Know About God’s Forgiveness?  What Satan Did not Understand.   The Dual Authorship of the Holy Scriptures.  These are tremendously important doctrines which will represent a milestone in the interpretation of Scripture.  Human author David will say one thing and God the Holy Spirit will say something else, using the exact same words.  This is an amazing concept which helps to explain a great many things about the writings of the Old Testament--particularly, the Psalms, where this is more apparent than anywhere else.  There are many additional doctrines in this psalm, including Confession of Sin in the Old Testament, the Sin Nature is Passed Down Through the Male, The Barrier between Man and God, Abortion--Logic and the Bible, The Importance of Bible Doctrine; The Sin unto Death; The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament; The Doctrine of the Way of God; Doctrinal Teaching Available to David; The Man-ward and God-ward Interpretation of Psalm 51:16; among others.  There are many topics discussed in this psalm, which are not formally organized into a doctrine: progressive revelation; blotting out sins in the New Testament; how much David understood about the cross and how much he understood about God forgiving sin; degeneracy sins; homosexuality; alcoholics anonymous, victimless crimes, legalizing sins and then taxing them; Karla Faye Tucker (who was executed many years ago in Texas for a heinous murder); the long term consequences of David's sins; development of the soul and wild children; early sexual stimulation of a young person's soul; what it meant for God to take the Holy Spirit from David, David's limited understanding of the Trinity; what it means for David to teach sinners; a flurry of dog sins; David's understanding of what he has written; God's righteousness is what separates Christianity from all other religions; explaining from David's point of view, what he meant when he said God was not interested in burnt offerings; what this means from the view of God the Holy Spirit; David's broken spirit and breaking his sexual addiction; why God deals with the personal failings of rulers; and why God deals with us both individually and corporately. 
  • Davidic Timeline added 10/3/2011  (HTML)  (PDF)   This is a fairly extensive overview of David's life, with several sets of dates applied.  Primarily, this helps you to place the events of David's life into a easy-to-follow timeline.
  • Conservative Review #196  posted 9/25/2011  (HTML)   (PDF) Let me warn you that I’ve been a Herman Cain supporter for quite a long while now; but I tried not to let this slant this week’s issue very much.  He just won the Florida Straw Poll; how many interviews have you seen with Herman Cain?  

    Excellent Say what? as always. Every time I think they can’t say any more, they think of new absurdities to blather on about.  Did you hear Obama talk about “Intercontinental railroads” or his rousing speech to the Black Caucus and friends?

    Do you know just how much Solandra pissed away?  More money than the Stimulus Bill gave to 35 states for their highways, roads and bridges.  

    This issue is packed.  Enjoy!

  • A Retrospective of Genesis 14 posted September 21, 2011.  (HTML)  (PDF).  Gen. 14 is one of the most amazing chapters of the Bible, which is so filled with information that I spent 17 lessons on this chapter in the Basic Exegesis Series (HTML)  (PDF).   Prior to this study, I had no idea how much information was in this chapter.  In fact, prior to this study, I actually wondered why God the Holy Spirit included it in the Word of God.  This is possibly mankind's first world war; it speaks of the 4th and 5th stages of national discipline, imperialism, the importance of Bible doctrine in the soul of one man, and Melchizedek, one of the most important figures of the Old Testament; as well as the concept of strategy and tactics in war (which is found much more often in the Bible than you might think).  There is also blessing by association, cursing by association, the concept of the priesthood and typology, all buried in a chapter that most people read in 5 minutes.
  • Genesis 15:6 in the New Testament posted September 21, 2011.  (HTML)  (PDF).  In many ways, this verse is the foundation of our faith; that we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ.  This study examines the way this verse is quoted in the New Testament and the different points which are made.  It is a good illustration to see the variety of ways that New Testament authors used the Old Testament in their writings.
  • Conservative Review #195  posted 9/18/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  

    Excellent Say what? as always.  There is a lot of news this week which you may not have heard about.

    Several articles, including Thomas Sowell back to the Future, Parts I, II and III (Sowell knows economic history, which he makes fascinating).  Also, two articles from the other side (an atheist and an angry leftist), so you can see what is on their collective minds.

    Great issue.  Enjoy!

    ________________________________________________________________


    There was no new Conservative Review last week.  I was on vacation.
  • The Way of God posted September 5, 2011  (HTML)  (PDF)  This is an expanded version of the shorter doctrine found in the exegesis of Psalm 51 (which has not been completed yet).  The phrase the way of God, along with several similar phrases, is ubiquitous in the Old Testament and found a number of times in the Gospels and Acts.  It is an important phrase, and almost completely ignored in theological writings, much like the fundamental phrase in Christ.  Just as there are many facets to the phrase in Christ, so there are many topics associated with the way.
  • The Doctrine Available to King David posted September 5, 2011   (HTML)  (PDF)   This doctrine is taken directly out of the exegesis Psalm 51 (which is not yet posted).  When I first began studying under R. B. Thieme, Jr., I admit I was skeptical of his emphasis upon the Word of God and Bible teaching.  Since I had been in a half dozen churches, all which had a different emphases, I wondered if this approach was just another gimmick.  Obviously, I have had a change of heart since those days.  The Bible methodically records a number of sources of doctrine which were available to King David; and, in many cases, these were sources available to the general population of Israel.  This doctrine will help you recognize that knowledge of doctrine is fundamental to the plan of God.
  • Conservative Review #194  posted 9/4/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  Excellent Say what? as always.  There is a lot of news this week which you may not have heard about.

    Several articles, including Thomas Sowell, Byron York, and one who suggests that both the left and the right should worry about what Palin is saying.  Whether or not she is electable, she still gets the crowds and she has a lot to say that neither establishment likes. Do you think that media attacks from the left and the right are simply coincidental?

    Very perceptive article about Obama and American exceptionalism, and how he doesn’t get it. 

    It is all in this week’s issue and lots more.  Enjoy!

  • The Trinity in the Old Testament posted August 29, 2011  (HTML)   (PDF).  The word Trinity is not found anywhere in the Bible, but it soon became clear that God is 1 in essence and 3 in personality.  Everything in the New Testament documents pointed to this, so Christians very early on believed in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  However, what is quite amazing is, the Trinity is also found in the Old Testament, which Old Testament religious Jews take as their Scripture.  And yet, they do not and never have believed in a Triune God.  However, if we take the concept of the Trinity, and look through the OT, it becomes clear that the OT teaches the Trinity as much as does the New.  In fact, I would argue, there are more passages which support a Triune God in the OT than in the New.  This is one of the many doctrines which will help you to increase your faith.  How can the Jews view miss the Trinity in the OT and how is it possible for this to be so clearly taught from a perspective of thousands of years later?  It is this sort of doctrine which increases your faith in the Word of God; and helps you to realize that the Bible is not just a collection of writings fo religious men, but the Living, Breathing Word of God.
  • Conservative Review #193  posted 8/28/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  Excellent Say what? This week, with many pages of quotes. When there are 2 disasters, liberals can say almost anything they want, and nearly no one will report it.

    I wrote a fairly straightforward article on recessions, and we know what works and what doesn’t.  It is not completely partisan; some Democrats got it right and some Republicans got it wrong.  However, the principles are the same.

    A number of excellent articles by Sowell, and Steve Moore. Also, as I often do, I have included a couple of articles with which I disagree—Rove and Keller.

    It is all in this week’s issue and lots more.  Enjoy!

  • The Ministry of God the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament  posted August 21, 2011  (HTML)  (PDF)   Because God administers His household in a number of ways throughout human history (known to us as the Doctrine of Dispensations), there are differences from one dispensation to the next.  The Holy Spirit had a slightly different ministry in the Old Testament as compared to the New.  This is a fairly short doctrine (2-3 pages) on the Holy Spirit's specific ministry in the Old Testament. The exegesis of the Book of Numbers and Judges 3 were both updated as well.
  • Conservative Review #191  posted 8/14/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)   I wrote an article with a few Biblical references up front.  Don’t let that frighten you off.  This article has a lot of important issues in it that we need to consider.  This article deals with one of the fundamental problems in the US and Europe.

    Say What? is always good, which is one of the most consistently read columns on Flopping Aces.  This is new stuff that they say every week.

    Great stories by Sowell, O’Reilly, along with two great speeches, one by a Democrat and the other by a Republican.

    It is all in this week’s issue and lots more.  Enjoy!

  • Abortion--Logic and the Bible  posted August 11, 2011  (HTML)  (PDF)   What I rarely find is a combination of logic and the Bible used to make sense of the abortion issue.  By far, the majority of Christians groups are against abortion, although some of their uses of Scripture are suspect.  On the other side of the issue is R. B. Thieme, Jr., who teaches that abortion is an issue for the woman and her doctor.  Siding with him is almost the entirety of the liberal political movement, even those who claim not to believe in God.  However, as you will see, one can make an argument in favor of abortion on religious or philosophical grounds, but not upon biological grounds.  So the left, which often rejects religion in favor of science, must abandon science entirely to take the position which they have taken.  In any case, I hope to approach this subject using Bible doctrine, logic and a little biology.
  • Updated: Liberalism, Conservatism and Christianity, a updated 8/7/2011   (HTML)   (PDF)  Surprisingly enough, I did not include homosexuality in this list of topics, so that was just added.
  • Conservative Review #190  posted 8/7/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  Of course, there are a lot of quotes about the debt ceiling compromise and about the political chess of this compromise.  Dems got Republicans to go back on their promise to work in the light of day and to put the bill out for 3 days before voting on it.

    There are all kinds of problems out there.  Lowest percentage of workers in 28 years; FNMA wants more money; post office is broke, and we’ve been downgraded.

    The press is becoming more and more transparent in their support of the president.

    Also some great articles: Thomas Sowell on the poor, Karl Rove on a failed business, and how Calvin Coolidge beat his recession.

    It is all in this week’s issue and lots more.  Enjoy!

  • The Doctrine of Imputations  posted August 5, 2011.  (HTML)  (PDF)  We are saved because of a series of imputations.  Adam's original sin is imputed to us at birth, our sins are imputed to Jesus Christ on the cross, and, in justification, His righteousness is imputed to us when we believe in Him.  These things are covered in great detail in this doctrine.  This is an extremely important doctrine, as the word for imputeis found 126 times in the Old Testament and 42 times in the New.  This is a part of the exegesis of Psalm 51, which is what I am working on right now.
  • The Doctrine of Tithing and Modern Applications of Tithing to Taxation.  August 3, 2011.  (HTML)  (PDF)   I have seen the doctrine of tithing taught on several occasions, and there are a couple of details which are gotten wrong.  Also, since the concept of tithing and taxation are in the Scripture, this ought to give us a clue as to what is ideal application of these concepts today
  • Progressive Revelation posted August 3, 2011.  (HTML)  (PDF).  The concept of progressive revelation is, each additional truth builds upon, expands, and better explains that which was already taught.  New revelation does not supercede, replace or nullify previous revelation, but it builds upon that which is past.
  • The Seeds of Genesis--the Great Theological Truths begun in the first 14 Chapters of Genesis.  posted August 3, 2011.  (HTML)  (PDF)   Genesis is one of the most amazing books in the Bible.  It contains the seeds for many doctrines which are revealed in greater detail throughout the rest of the Bible.  This doctrine lists about a dozen major doctrines, all of which come into view, in seed form, in the first 14 chapters of Genesis.
  • Conservative Review #189  posted 7/31/2011  (HTML)   (PDF) Have you heard of the Connie Mack’s Penny Plan?  Freeze the federal budget, reduce it for 1% a year, and, in a few years, we have a balanced budget.  Rand Paul supports it, so you know, it must be that nutty TEA party, thinking that we ought to curb federal spending.  Their ideas are so radical and so extreme.

    Were you aware that all of these proposed $3 and $4 trillion cuts in the federal budget are for a period of 10 years and all such proposals will allow the debt to accumulate by over $1 trillion/year.  If the federal government simply froze the budget for 10 years, the CBO would score that as a $9.5 trillion savings.

    Did you know about Obama’s twitter account, how he lost 40,000 followers in one day this week?

    Do you have the impression that raising the debt ceiling is the fix for the credit rating of the United States?  If so, your news sources are flat out lying to you.

    Have you been told the Anders Breivik, the Norwegian terrorist, is a Christian?  Again, your news is misstating the facts.  He should be called a man of logic, a scientist or an environmentalist, which are all labels which he self-applies.  A couple quotes from him in this issue.

    I highly recommend Say What?  Short Takes and By the Numbers.  Glance at the article titles too.  They will capture your attention as well.  I also make a prediction for Obama’s running mate in 2012 (or possibly Democratic candidate in 2016).

    Best issue so far.

    It is all in this week’s issue and lots more.  Enjoy!

  • The List  updated 7/27/2011  (HTML)   (PDF).  Every doctrinal church which I am aware of, listed by state.  Their website, location, pastor and web resources are all listed.  Also in this list are all books which have been exegeted (verbally taught audio and in written form) along with certain websites where a number of doctrines are available.  This list was updated July 27, 2011.  The "Buyer Beware" warning has been expanded.  It is not out of the realm of possibility that a chruch can adopt R. B. Thieme Jr.'s vocabulary, and develop a cult.  Therefore, some warnings have been included and expanded.  Also, there are 3 or 4 sites in particular with the greatest number of doctrines online.  They have been moved to the top of the list under "Online Doctrinal Rersources."
  • The Doctrine of Intercalation  (HTML)  (PDF),  the Doctrine of Dispensations (HTML)  (PDF)  and the Doctrine of the Edification Complext  (HTML)  (PDF) have all been updated 7/21/2011. 
  • The "Salvation" Page (Salvation Page) has been appended with a set of doctrines which are fundamental to the faith; and a list of doctrines which deal with contemporary issues.  Updated 7/20/2011
  • Conservative Review #187  posted 7/17/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)   First thing, there is a lot of misleading information on all media about the debt ceiling and what to expect.  To listen to Democrats, the sky will fall, and the U.S. will be downgraded by Moody’s because we cannot pay our debts; and seniors will not get their social security—all of which is false.  And the idea that not raising the debt ceiling, which is the most popular approach in the United States, is a good idea.  I must admit to being converted when I saw this laid out with a chart—a chart you might not see anywhere else.

    With the debt ceiling drop-dead date drawing nigh, there are a set of wonderful quotes in “Say What.”  Lot’s of good stuff in the “Must-See Media” and “Short Takes” this week.

    There is a lot to read.   Enjoy!

  • Old Testament Summary Chart slightly updated on 07/14/2011   (HTML)  (PDF).  This is a very short summary of the Old Testament and the books of the Old Testament.  It is one of the most viewed documents at this website.
  • Genesis Lessons 101-140 posted 07/14/2011  (HTML)   (PDF).  The most recent 10 lessons have been added, which begins in Gen. 14 with the war of the kings and we progress as far as Abram's meeting with Melchizedek and what possibly happened during this meeting.  Abram had spoken to God on several occasions, and yet, he seems to defer to the spiritual authority of Melchizedek....why?  In this study, we logically look at the claims that Jesus made, we examine who Melchizedek was and his importance to Christian theology, and we also study, Post-Deluvian Heathenism, The Priesthoods of God, the Doctrine of Redemption and the Slave Market of Sin (which doctrines were recently posted).
  • The Priesthoods in the Bible posted July 12, 2011.  (HTML)   (PDF). There are quite a number of different priesthoods found in the Bible.  They all speak of man representing himself (or others) to God, and those in the Old Testament look forward to Jesus Christ.  This is a fairly short overview which gives you a quick an easy grasp of the various priesthoods found throughout Scripture.  This, and the two doctrines which follow, come out of the Basic Exgesis Series, which is presently in Gen. 14.  (HTML)  (PDF).
  • The Doctrine of Redemption posted July 12, 2011.  (HTML)   (PDF).  As early as Genesis 14, God is called the Redeemer of Heaven and Earth.  This doctrine examines what it means for God to be called Redeemer, and how this is one cohesive whole throughout the Bible.
  • The Illustration of the Slave Market of Sin posted July 12, 2011.  (HTML)   (PDF).  Closely related to the Doctrine of Redemption is the illustration, used by Jesus, of the Slave Market of Sin.   This particular doctrine is actually illustrated by Moses taking the Children of Israel out of Egypt.  This is an amazing study, which is further proof of the cohesiveness of the entire Bible.  This is alluded to in Genesis 14, illustrated in Exodus, spoken of by Jesus to explain why the religious types would not be saved by their being Jews or by attempting to keep the law, and then explained in greater detail by Paul in some of his doctrinal dissertations.
  • Conservative Review #186  posted 7/10/2011  (HTML)   (PDF) Under “Must Watch Media” find the clip of George Will and email it to everyone you know who supports Obamacare.

    One of the best “Say What” columns.  Hear what they say, in their own words.

    Two short videos from “Must Watch Video”; email them to people you know:

  • Conservative Review #185  posted 7/3/2011  (HTML)   (PDF) One of the excellent columns is A Little Bias, which records some of the media bias for this past week.  Now, I must admit, I have no idea if liberals are just so blind, that they do not recognize media bias (except at FoxNews, of course), or whether they just claim the news is fair and accurate to chaff my hide.  However, surely you have heard about our President condemning the corporate jet tax loophole.  He said it in his weekly address and on several occasions.  But, you know what your news doesn’t mention?  These tax loopholes were a part of the Stimulus Package.

    Great article for a couple months back in the WSJ; tax the rich at 100% and you get $938 billion, which is not enough money to cover one year of deficit spending.  Send this article to your liberal friends.

    There is a lot to read.   Enjoy!

  • Conservative Review #184  posted 6/26/2011  (HTML)   (PDF) The week’s issue is a little long.  I ended up with so many quotes for liberals this week, I just ran out of time to record them all.  There’s lots and they are excellent.

    Let me strongly recommend the news blurbs at the beginning, as you will get a very short news blurb of a lot of things that you have not heard about.  Also, there was such excellent media out this past week.

    Also, if you have wondered by certain media outlets seem to be telling you the same thing, maybe it is because George Soros in heavily invested in some of them.  You can’t beat having few resources and then, this nice man comes along and gives you money.  Great story about social security by Thomas Sowell.

    There is a lot to read.   Enjoy!

  • Conservative Review #183  posted 6/19/2011  (HTML)   (PDF) The week’s issue is a little short, and it may take me a moment to load it up as a HTML document, as I am dealing with computer problems.

    Nevertheless, the news is fascinating this week: PJ media is claiming a tie between Anthony Weiner’s wife and the Muslim Brotherhood.  UN scientists propose a number of insane ideas to solve global warming, even though some scientist are predicting a mini-ice age (which prediction is ignored by the media).

    Great quotes this week and a number of excellent vids.  Don’t miss By the Numbers.  Short Cuts is also good this week.

    A lot happened.  Enjoy!

  • 2Samuel 12  uploaded 6/15/2011  (HTML)   (PDF) covers 3 topics: (1) Nathan goes to David and causes him to look at himself and his sin; (2) David’s son by Bathsheba dies; and (3) Joab calls in David for the final assaults against Rabbah’s acropolis (the intent here is to preserve David’s reputation).  In this and subsequent chapters, God will apply installment discipline to David.  Strictly speaking, it is not discipline throughout much of the next 10 years, which will be explained in the exegesis.  As we progress, you may think that David’s punishment and public humiliation is too much.  However, it will become clear why God’s punishment of David was extremely harsh and public.  There are 3 reasons, each of which is important.  If God did not punish David this much, these 3 things would not have come to pass.  There was a lot to cover in this chapter; this exegetical treatise is nearly 275 pages long.  When you are done with this chapter, you will understand nearly everything that you need to know about it.  Included in 2Samuel 12 are the following doctrines: Degeneracy Sins (Addictive Behavior); Nathan’s Objectivity in the Use of His Spiritual Gift; David’s Sin is Explained; some of the hidden literary structure of this chapter is revealed; Why God’s Prophecies May Not Seem Precise; The Law of Natural Consequence; Why God Disciplines David Publically; Why God Allows David’s Innocent Son to Die; David’s Return to Routine; David’s Leadership Function, and Why Solomon Would Built the Temple and Not David.  Several doctrines are referred to in this chapter as well: The Doctrine of Sexual Arrogance; The Doctrine of the Edification Complex (updated and expanded); Fasting; the Angelic Conflict; and Revolution.  This is a chapter in the Word of God which has rarely, if ever, been exegeted correctly.  2Sam. 11 and 12 both begin about 10 chapters of the Word of God which have lain fallow, for the most part, for centuries.  The information and application is quite up-to-date, as is the rest of the Bible.

  • Conservative Review #182  posted 6/12/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  I must admit that I did not expect to have much of an issue this week, with all of the air sucked out of the room by Weiner.  Although entertaining, Weiner is hardly newsworthy.  I was worried there would be no good quotes, except maybe from Chris Matthews and Bill Maher, who can always be depended upon for good stuff.  However, there were a lot of liberals out there with a lot to say.  Some conservatives as well.  So “Say What” is outstanding.  Check out the Media recommendations as well.  These are always good.

    I also found quite a number of outstanding articles this past week: one on Herman Cain; one by Herman Cain; and a couple on the economy.  And there is one you have not seen, but it extremely important and another reason why Obama needs a news job: “Giving Away the Farm.”

    Rush did several interviews this past week, which is unusual; and he is outstanding in this arena, even though he rarely does them.

    If all you recall from last week is Weiner, then check out this issue.  A lot more happened than that.  Enjoy!

  • Just updated: The Doctrine of the Laws of Divine Establishment 6/10/2011.   (HTML)   (PDF)   The Laws of Devine Establishment are laws which are designed for believers and unbelievers alike.  These laws are constantly under attack.  Updating has included additional footnotes along with more contemporary examples.  This is the most complete treatment of this topic that I am aware of.

  • The Doctrine of Intercalation updated with one more example from Psalm 110 (there are at least 22 examples of intercalation in the Old Testament).   Intercalation is a revealing of the First and Second Advents of Jesus Christ, but presented as, seemingly, one event.  Posted 6/7/2011.   (HTML)  (PDF) 

  • Conservative Review #181  posted 6/5/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  There was a lot of news out there.  First of all, Time magazine has done a couple of odds pieces on the Republican candidates, but has left out Herman Cain each time.  I guess you cannot pass off the Republicans as racists if one of their rising stars is Black.

    Do you know what percentage of people are gay?  You probably aren’t even close.  4% were close in answer that question.  Excellent Medved article about a recent survey; with a lot of numbers which will surprise you.

    Two articles about Obama and the economy, along with a collection of dumb things which Obama has said.  Way dumb.  Yet he is portrayed, even in parody, as brilliant.

    “Say what” is excellent.  “Must Watch Media” is filled with great stuff this week.  Short Takes is also good.

    Good stuff this week.  Informative and thought-provoking.  Enjoy!

  • Conservative Review #180  posted 5/29/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  There was a lot of news out there.  You heard about the Weiner sex scandal right?  Maybe not; he is a Democrat.   Or the White House aide who is going to go after “misleading media.”   How about the sorry cuts offered up by both Dems and Repubs?  Did you see all the headlines about how Glenn Beck got it right?  No, of course not!

    “Say what” is excellent.  “Must Watch Media” is filled with great stuff this week.  Short Takes is also good; I can explain what Newt can’t about his remarks of a week ago.

    Great Articles: The problem with Judicial Activism, which is something California ought to understand today.  The 18 things you did not know about China.  Do you know how much money is wasted in government research?  Or what tax rate Dems are really shooting for? himself.

    Good stuff this week.  Informative and thought-provoking.  Enjoy!

  • 2Samuel 11  has been revised and re-posted 5/29/2011  (HTML)   (PDF) This chapter is all about David’s great sin where he first commits adultery with the wife of one of his greatest soldiers and he then arranges for that soldier to be murdered on the battlefield.  God the Holy Spirit chose to devote 9 chapters of Samuel to David’s sin and the discipline which he received for this sin.  Furthermore, there were several psalms written about this same incident.  There are few topics in the Word of God which are given this much coverage, so what happens here is obviously important.  There are a lot of theories presented as to what was going on with David, the most recent theory being the Interlocking Systems of Arrogance, a doctrine which R. B. Thieme, Jr. developed about 3 or so decades ago.  Therefore, we are going to delve into this doctrine, and compare it to the other theories which help to explain David falling so far out of fellowship.  Bob also developed another doctrine around this section of the Word of God, which he called Installment Discipline, somewhat a misnomer, but will also be introduced in this study.  Included in this rather lengthy study of 2Sam. 11 are the following subjects: Loyalty versus Integrity; the Will of God; David’s Wives and Children; Polygamy and Sexual Arrogance; Escaping Addictive Behavior; David and Sexual Arrogance; the Timing of the Death of a Believer; and Military Ethics, David and Joab.  There will be several doctrines either covered in this chapter or alluded to: Sexual Arrogance, Adultery, The Ark of God, Dying Grace, Liberation Theology, Polygamy, and the Will of God.   Also, 5 new gates have been added to the Interlocking Systems of Arrogance: Religious Arrogance, Sin Nature Weakness Arrogance, the Arrogance of Addictive Behavior, Manipulative Arrogance, and Compartmentalization Arrogance.

    “Say what” is always excellent.  Several excellent vids of Herman Cain features this week.

    Articles: Why is there so much hatred for the Jews?  Why does the recovery feel so tepid?  I like Newt, but even given 20 or 30 minutes on Rush’s program, he was unable to explain himself.

  • 2Samuel 10  reposted 5/20/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  This is an outstanding study of David, Joab, personal honor and the concept of an autonomous client nation.  David sends men to express his sadness that an ally of his, the former king of Ammon, has died.  His arrogant son and the state department make a mockery of these men, thus declaring war against Israel.  As Joab musters Israel's troops for war, the Ammonites call in the Syrians (the Aramaeans), which is the greatest empire of that day.   What results is amazing, and, as in many parts of the Bible, there is a great deal to be learned in thi chapter about strategy and tactics in war.  Some of the topics which are covered are: Principles of Warfare, Why all of this War and Tactics in the Bible?, the historical background for this chapter, the arrogance in Hanun’s state department (Hanun is the new king of Ammon), arrogance and leadership (with several modern examples), The Principle of Offensive Action, The Principle of Mass, what exactly is a flying column, fighting from interior lines, fighting from exterior lines (and other military jargon which R. B. Thieme Jr. would toss around), the Principle of Freedom and Freedom versus Equality.  Included, as always, are many modern-day examples and applications.  Like much of the Bible, you will be surprised just how up-to-date these 19 verses are.  Even if you are a non-military type, you will be surprised as to how much application there is in this chapter for you.  One more thing (and you will not find this anywhere else): Joab will be trapped between 2 armies and at a tactical disadvantage; so, how was he able to prevail?  I think there are enough textual clues which reveal not only his strategy and tactics, but exactly why he was able to defeat Aram’s mercenaries.  This is exclusive to this commentary; you will not find this in any other commentary on this chapter.

  • The Importance of Bible Doctrine  posted May 13, 2011   (HTML)   (PDF).  Our Lord Jesus Christ, in His humanity, grew in grace and wisdom (which is the knowledge and application of Bible doctrine).  On many occasions, He told His listeners that they erred because they did not know the Scriptures.  Bible doctrine is the very spiritual food that we require in order to grow spiritually.  Apart from the knowledge of the Word of God, you do not grow in the spiritual life, no matter how many good works you do.  Knowing the Word of God is the key to knowing the will of God.  This was taken from the basic exegesis series (which is a series of short lessons, which began with the book of Genesis).  See also Genesis Lessons 1-100  (HTML)   (PDF) and Genesis Lessons 101-130   (HTML)   (PDF). This came from lsson #125 and is slightly updated.

    I propose a few simple pieces of legislation, which involve savings rather than new costs.

    There are several stories and links with one main theme: there are not enough rich in American with enough money to tax enough to close the deficit—I am not talking about the debt, only the deficit.   There was a reasonable fact-check on Obama’s deficit speech.  That surprised me.

  • Jesus is not a Liberal   posted 4/11/2011   (HTML)  (PDF)  Some  time ago, I had a discussion with someone on the internet on whether or not Jesus was a liberal, and posted this here.  This is a much more careful study, taking each one of their reasons, each of the Biblical passages which they distort, and show that Jesus is not a liberal nor is He a socialist (nor is He the first counter-culture revolutionary, in the contemporary sense).   This is a very lengthy study (it is over 100 pages), wherein, nearly everything related to this topic is discussed.  First of all, there is the basic dishonesty of liberalism; the conflation of wealth and greed; the idea that, it just depends upon how you interpret the Bible, followed by the Bible and socialism.  The meat of this doctrine is examining the myriad of liberal causes which Jesus is said to have espoused: peacemaking rather than war making; being anti-war and anti-military, being for nonviolence; how Jesus was supposedly against the strict adherence to religious law, etc.  Social justice, corporate greed and individual wealth are all examined, along with nearly every passage touted by liberals (along with the many passages which they ignore).  There are many short doctrines covered in here, including Why the Government Does a Lousy Job; The Bible, Capitalism and Private Property; Morality and Capitalism; Jesus and the Rich Young Ruler (liberals absolutely love this narrative); and God and the Welfare State.  Finally, there is an extensive addendum, which you ought to find as interesting as the rest of this examination, where we learn a little from General George Patton, President Thomas Jefferson and columnist George Will.  If you ever had any doubts about this subject, it is covered here in the greatest detail.
  • Conservative Review #173  posted 4/10/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  Because Republicans had a budget and Democrats did not, there were some spectacular quotes from both sides.  My favorite column.  By the Numbers is always good.

    I reveal to the far left how to end the middle eastern wars.  We can keep this a secret, I am sure.

    Under “A Little Bias” have you noticed how many stories there are on a temporary government shutdown, but nearly no stories about the problems of long-term insolvency (which is a much greater problem).

  • Satan Did Not Know about the Cross  posted 3/7/2011   (HTML)  (PDF)   For some time, I have been ruminating about this possibility, that Satan was not aware that it was Jesus' plan to go to the cross, and, therefore, set into motion the events which took our Lord to the cross, which was the great tactical victory of the Angelic Conflict as well as the basis for our salvation.  To me, it is illogical that Satan would knowingly lead Jesus to the cross, if he realized that the cross was the beginning of the end for him.  Let me add that, this is one of the few doctrines which is different from what is taught in most churches, and, therefore, take it with a grain of salt.

  • Conservative Review #168  posted 3/6/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  I hope that you are reading the “news” column.  Again, there is a lot you don’t hear about in your news.  Do you know about the live ammunition discovered after the pro-union rallies in Wisconsin.  Do you know we are purposely letting some guns cross over our southern border?  Do you know about the bomb threat and arrest in Madison, WI?  Do you know that Republicans have reduced funding to the IRS?  Do you know that abstinence among young people is increasing and now, 1 in 4 rather than 1 in 5 young people (24 and younger) report NO SEXUAL CONTACT whatsoever?

    Excellent “Say What” this week.  Liberals had so much to say this week.

  • The Bible, Wealth and Private Property   posted 3/3/2011   (HTML)   (PDF) 

    In society, there are constantly attempts to distort the truth in the Bible.  In this society, it has become even more easy to do so, because most Christians lack a good foundation in Biblical teaching.  They can be led by the nose to a half-dozen passages, and easily led astray in this manner.  One of these distortions is that, there is something inherently wrong about wealth, or anti-spiritual about possessing wealth.  There is the mistaken impression that, it is the right thing to do for a believer to give his wealth away; or that the state ought to be involve in the equalization of wealth.  The key to the spiritual life is what is in the soul, not what is in one’s bank account.  More importantly, greed is not necessarily a sin of the rich, but more often, a sin of the poor.

  • Genesis Lessons 101-120 posted 02/23/2011  (HTML)   (PDF).  Lesson #101 marks a radical change in the book of Genesis where we begin to follow Abraham, the father of the Jewish people.  There are a number of very important doctrines included in these first 10 lessons: Historical examples of "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you."  The Doctrine of Logistical Grace; The Doctrine of Separation; Figures of Speech in the Bible; How the Altar Represents the Essence of God; The Doctrine of Blessing by Association; The Doctrine of the Will of God.  The Doctrine of Faith-Rest.  The Goals of Communism in America.   The Doctrine of the Laws of Divine Establishment.  Some of these are fundamental doctines for the Christian life.

  • Conservative Review #166  posted 2/20/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  I hope that you are reading the “news” column.  These are simply blurbs of this which have happened this week, but often, these are thing you do not hear about (and sometimes, these end up being the talk of the next week).  Here is one: the government is contracting with private companies to develop software to create huge groups of fake people on social media sites in order to suggest that there is popular support for unpopular issues.  Did you know this?

    One of the articles is called “The Dishonest Gay Marriage Agenda.”  You may think this is ultra-paranoid; but, I give you a bit of background here, and suggest what the end game is to this Gay Marriage movement.  You may think that, a relationship between two gay men is just like the relationship between a man and a woman—but you are wrong.  They are different in the most fundamental ways.  This will be covered in great detail in the article.

    This article is cross-posted on Flopping Aces.  The average article gets about 400-500 views with 20-40 comments, many of which stray off-topic.  This article has over 1000 views with nearly 200 comments, nearly all on topic.

  • Updated: 2Samuel 11  posted 2/16/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  While working in 2Sam. 12, I began to develop a doctrine which deals with degeneracy sins, or addictive behavior.  Although I will keep that doctrine in 2Sam. 12, it is apropos to 2Sam. 11 as well, so doctrine has been added to 2Sam. 11.  Degeneracy sins include skirt-chasing, homosexuality, and/or other sexual sins, alcoholism and drug abuse.  All of these sins have negative affects on our souls and dig ruts into our lives.  Such sins can be almost all-consuming.

  • Conservative Review #165  posted 2/13/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  Things you may or may not know about: the CBO tells us that the new healthcare law will kill 800,000 jobs (do you recall that this was touted as a job creator?).  GM and Chrysler, although they still owe the taxpayers a lot of money, gave out generous bonuses this year (remember when the banks were harangued for this, and they paid back the TARP money). 

    Excellent “Say What” this week.  Liberals cannot seem to stop talking.  But, some said some intelligent things this week as well.  Really.

    I must admit to being amazed in the past couple of days.  A tragic shooting and dozens and dozens of prominent and not-so-prominent liberals blame Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, the TEA party, and “violent rhetoric.”  It is so crazy, it is almost a parody.  Anyway, in “Say What” there are a page filled with such quotes (and not everyone is included because they kept piling on).  However, one liberal wrote an intelligent column about this, and that is one of the lead columns.  Along with this sensible liberal column, I include 2 very nutty liberal columns as well.  3 excellent conservative columns as well.

  • 2Samuel 11  posted 1/6/2011  (HTML)   (PDF) is all about David’s great sin where he first commits adultery with the wife of one of his greatest soldiers and he then arranges for that soldier to be murdered on the battlefield.  God the Holy Spirit chose to devote 9 chapters of Samuel to David’s sin and the discipline which he received for this sin.  Furthermore, there were several psalms written about this same incident.  There are few topics in the Word of God which are given this much coverage, so what happens here is obviously important.  There are a lot of theories presented as to what was going on with David, the most recent theory being the Interlocking Systems of Arrogance, which R. B. Thieme, Jr. developed about 3 or so decades ago.  Therefore, we are going to delve into this doctrine, and compare it to the other theories which help to explain David falling so far out of fellowship.  Bob also developed another doctrine around this section of the Word of God, which he called Installment Discipline, which will also be introduced in this study.  Included in this rather lengthy study of 2Sam. 11 are the following subjects: Loyalty versus Integrity; the Will of God; David’s Wives and Children; Polygamy and Sexual Arrogance; Escaping Addictive Behavior; David and Sexual Arrogance; the Timing of the Death of a Believer; and Military Ethics, David and Joab.  There will be several doctrines either covered in this chapter or alluded to: Sexual Arrogance, Adultery, The Ark of God, Dying Grace, Liberation Theology, Polygamy, and the Will of God.  Like the previous chapter, many of the doctrines which R. B. Thieme, Jr. taught in conjunction with the David series are included in this study of 2Samuel 11.  Also, 5 new gates have been added to the Interlocking Systems of Arrogance: Religious Arrogance, Sin Nature Weakness Arrogance, the Arrogance of Addictive Behavior, Manipulative Arrogance, and Compartmentalization Arrogance.

    Great articles this week: if you want to understand the current economic situation and why all the state governments are awash in debt, there is a common origin for all that.

    Say What? is excellent, as usual.  You understand a person’s philosophy by reading what everyone says.  Only a few media recommendations, but they are quite good.  Also, be certain to ready By the Numbers and My Most Paranoid Thoughts.

  • The [new, updated] List  (HTML)   (PDF).  Several new churches have been added, some in states and cities not listed before.  I have not personally attended any of these churches, so I cannot attest to their accurate handling of the Word of God.  However, their doctrinal statements seem to indicate that they are on target (apart from the normal doctrines one would expect to find at any Christian church, I look to make certain salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone; and that spirituality by grace is clearly and carefully taught). 

  • Liberalism, Conservatism and Christianity, a doctrine posted 12/14/2010   (HTML)   (PDF)  After posting a link to "God and the Poor; Is God Really a Liberal?" on facebook, my cousin suggested that God was above this liberal and conservative debate, which inspired me to take a look at 40 different contemporary issues and compare them to what the Bible tells us about these issues (Abortion, Anti-Semitism, Atheism, Change, Conservation and Nature, Education, Eminent Domain, Environmentalism, Evolution, Gay Rights, Homosexuality, Global Warming, Government Regulations, Guantanamo Bay Prison for Enemy Combatants, Homelessness, Income Inequity, Income Redistribution, Inheritance Tax, Islam, Islam and Child Sacrifice, Land Ownership—National, Land Ownership—Personal, Marriage, The Military, Missionary Activity, Morality, National Threats, Nationalism versus Internationalism, Nuclear Disarmament, Patriotism, Political Activism, Poverty, Racial Issues, Reparations, Revolution, Separation of Church and State, Socialism, Taxation, Taxing the Rich, War, The Work Ethic).  There are 20+ pages on these issues, giving the general liberal position, the general conservative position, and then what the Bible says.  There is a 25 page addendum where some of these issues are explored in more depth, as the format--side by side columns--does not lend itself to an in depth approach to each topic.  Everything is hyperlinked, so it is easy to go to whatever contemporary issue interests you.

  • God and the Poor; Is God Really a Liberal?  12/7/2010  (HTML)   (PDF)   A week or so ago, I was listening to Michael Medved, and a caller started ranting about the 300 verses in the Bible about how bad the rich are.  It was quite obvious that this person did not have any idea what he was talking about, but that his information came from a website posting.  That certainly interested me, as this person was indicating that the United States did not do enough for the poor, that the rich had too much money, and that a little social justice needed to be applied.  After a quick search on the internet, I found the posting about 300 verses about the poor (the rich are mentioned in this essay).  The essay was written by 3 people back in 1989, and posted on a website where one of the authors writes some far left-of-center political diatribes, and also shares with us his favorite games, literature, comics and his trip to Brazil.  Although his article castigates Christians for not being charitable enough, a precursory glace through his website and writings indicates that he personally has very little interest in the Bible or, for that matter, in the poor; except to use these issues to manipulate others to agree with his progressive causes (the welfare state, bigger government, more taxes, and probably a European-style socialism or more).  I go through this paper line-by-line, along with the 150 or so verses which he quotes (many of them wildly out of context), and explain Who God really is and what His relationship to the poor really is.

  • Just added and updated: Was Jesus a Liberal?  12/3/2010   (HTML)   (PDF).  Throughout the yeras, there have been many attacks upon the Bible and upon Jesus.  One of the more contemporary attacks is, Jesus is a Liberal.  This fits into Liberation Theology, which is simply a way of taking believers who know little or nothing about the Bible, and to convince them that the Bible is in favor of a welfare state or of Socialism or Communism.  For the unlearned, this slant of the Bible can be quite convincing, and there were many inroads made by communism in South America by using this approach.  The believers and unbelievers who are sucked into this false doctrine are the "useful idiots" which communism loves to use.

  • Just updated: The Doctrine of the Laws of Divine Establishment 12/1/2010.   (HTML)   (PDF)   The Laws of Divine Establishment and Sharia Law is a section which has been added.  More information about North and South Korea has been added, which nations illustrate the application (or non-application) of the laws of divine establishment.  The summary doctrine has been completed as well (it is about 20 pages long by itself).  The entire doctrine, including the abbreviated doctrine and the addendum, is nearly 100 pages long.

  • Just added/updated: Jehovah's Witnesses and the Deity of Jesus Christ  11/29/2010   (HTML)   (PDF).   A long time ago, when I was more argumentative, I invited Jehovah's Witnesses into my house, figuring, if I can show them that Jesus is God, they will straighten out and leave their cult.  So, I focused on one area, John 1:1-3, which they distort by calling Jesus "a god."  So, I showed them in their own Bible, how they were inconsistent in their interpretation.  Later, they came back with reinforcements and, after I argued with them for 30 minutes, they came back again with more reinforcements.  This is a short, 3-page doctrine dealing with this very specific point.

  • Conservative Review #154  posted 11/28/2010  (HTML)   (PDF)  Excellent article on changing our schools.  How can we decrease the dropout rate?  How can we better prepare our students for college?  How can we cut back on the cost of education and yet, increase the quality?  How can we introduce choice in education, without overwhelming the system with too much change all at once?  Fidn the answers within.

    Great articles this week, including Peggy Noonan’s column, who gets it at least half-right, an Obama supporter who still loves Obama (loves loves loves).  And then there are some excellent articles besides.

    One impression you will get from some of these articles: people have not elected Republicans, and now they are going to stop thinking about politics; Republicans, we now have our eyes on you.  We know what you promised, we know what you can do, and you may not be long for this world, if your promises were just words.

  • Additions to the Laws of Divine Establishment   posted 10/22/2010.   (HTML)   (PDF)   One of the things which I questioned when I first became a Christian and later when I was taught rebound was, "What about those others who do not become Christians but their lives improve?  Or what about those believers who never learn rebound, but their lives seem to improve?  The Doctrine of the Laws of Divine Establishment explains this.  Therefore, I have added to "Miscellaneous Principles" the following:
    6.    What about believers who do not use rebound and yet seem pretty nice?
        1)    This is explained by believers living under the laws of divine establishment.
        2)    Since very few believers actually know the mechanics of rebound (although they occasionally use them to get back into fellowship), some lead very moral lives.
        3)    Furthermore, such believers sometimes appear to be blessed or to have a fairly good life.
        4)    What has happened is, the believer has gone from immorality or a half-baked morality to a more full-on attempt to be moral.
        5)    Believers and unbelievers alike will be happier with their lives if they choose to be moral; if they choose to follow the laws of divine establishment.
        6)    So, regardless of one’s spiritual state, if a person chooses to honor his parents, if he chooses to be faithful to his wife, if he chooses to spend more time with his children and to raise them correctly, and if he chooses not to be overly concerned with the possessions of others, this person is going to be happier—he might be a believer or an unbeliever.
        7)    Anyone who goes from a state of immorality to morality is going to be happier and enjoy greater blessing.
        8)    Therefore, your uncle who used to take drugs, began going to AA and stopped using drugs, becomes a happier person.
        9)    The person who used to wallow in self-pity, but now has become a scientologist, now has more self-confidence.
        10)    The person who believers in Jesus Christ, but then chooses to go to a legalistic church or to a holy roller church—if the end result is, he has gone from disobeying the laws of divine establishment to obeying hem, they are going to be happier and the life is going to show great improvement.
        11)    Any person who turns from a life of immorality to morality; from disobeying the laws of divine establishment to obeying them, is going to show marked improvement in their lives.

  • Conservative Review #144  posted 9/19/10  (HTML)   (PDF)   So, is there a civil war within the Republican party?  Sort of.  You see, the TEA party is just as much a threat to the Republican establishment as it is to Democratic rule.  In this issue, I ponder about 3 Republican establishment types who are suddenly working against the Republican party.

    Every week, the quotes are good.  You need to read what people are actually saying.

    What about Christine O’Donnell?  Did Republicans make a mistake here?  Karl Rove seems to think so.  This issue will help you to get a little perspective on that (she is mentioned throughout this issue).

    Great vids from this past week.

    Also, you have heard over and over again about how letting tax cuts for the rich expire will help us get our deficit under control.  That is a lie, and the numbers will show that clearly.  Even if all the tax cuts expired, and all of us had higher taxes, it will be clear that tax hikes are not the solution to our deficit problem.

  • The Laws of Divine Establishment posted 9/16/2010.   (HTML)   (PDF)   God has a temporal plan for believers and unbelievers alike.  When this plan broken down into its component parts, it is called the laws of divine establishment.  These laws hold true for all mankind and for all governments.

    Acknowledgment: Insofar as I can determine, R. B. Thieme, Jr. gave the name to this topic, and was the first person to develop this subject under this name.  I have found that there are certain definitions which are on independent websites which agree almost word-for-word, and it is my reasonable assumption that these come directly from Bob’s notes.  Previous to Bob’s ministry, it is likely that other people had pieces of this puzzle, but Thieme was the first person to pull this all together.

    Bob, on occasion, acknowledged that his work would be added to.  If memory serves, he gave the example of an additional story in the edification complex.  For this reason, there will be some additions and some slight deviations in this doctrine which he originally developed from the Word of God.  Theology, like computer technology, was designed to be built upon, but without rejecting or altering the fundamental principles of the faith.

    Although Bob mentioned L. S. Chafer on many occasions, a number of people do not realize that most of Bob’s early work came from Chafer’s teaching (epitomized in Systematic Theology by Lewis Sperry Chafer).  After several years in the ministry, Bob expanded upon Chafer’s work considerably.

    I used Jim Brettell and Tod Kennedy’s works as references (see Bibliography), and much of their work was based upon the teaching of R. B. Thieme, Jr..  Some of their work was taken word-for-word, and I acknowledge that throughout.  My intention was to, at least temporarily, produce the definitive work on this topic.

    Introduction: Since the world appears to be made up of mostly unbelievers, God must have some kind of plan or some set of laws for unbelievers while they are alive.  These are called the laws of divine establishment, and they are applicable to both believers and unbelievers.  Just as no believer is able to perfectly execute the Christian way of life, so it is with the laws of divine establishment.  However, a society’s failure to observe a set of laws does not negate those laws or their importance.

    There is absolute truth for the unbeliever.  This truth is the doctrine of the laws of divine establishment.  This truth involves obedience to and respect for established authorities; the willingness to respect the free will, privacy and property of others; and the willingness to obey established law (which, ideally, is based upon 6 of the Ten Commandments).

    The laws of divine establishment are designed to protect societies which are made up of believers and unbelievers alike.  These laws are designed to protect evangelization and the teaching of Bible doctrine; and they are also designed to protect the freedom, privacy and property of believers and unbelievers alike.  Adherence to these laws both protects and advances a society.  Rejecting these laws leads to the destruction of a society (Greece, Iran and North Korea are excellent examples of societies which have rejected the laws of divine establishment).  Many European countries are in a transitional phase, where such laws are being rejected bit by bit.  The United States, the greatest nation in the history of mankind, is also being eroded from the inside by rejecting God’s plan for believers and unbelievers.

    Satan never sleeps.  He is constantly trying to bring down free societies.  There are multiple Satanic attacks on the laws of divine establishment going on every minute of the day.  Even though Satan probably knows that he can establish a better world through God’s laws, he refuses to do so, as the laws of divine establishment also allow for maximum evangelization of a people.  Therefore, as we examine this doctrine, I will also make allusions to Satan’s attacks and alternatives to the laws of divine establishment.

    Nations which most closely follow these laws are blessed; nations which reject these laws are cursed.  One of the best examples of this is, North Korea and South Korea.  One nation has completely reject the laws of divine establishment and the other has embraced these laws.  We now have 60 years of history which allow us to see a great contrast between God’s laws and Satanic influence.

    Insofar as I know, this is the most complete work on the laws of divine establishment, updated with a myriad of contemporary examples and applications.  All believers need to understand these laws so that they understand what is good and right for the society in which they live.  Therefore, these laws need to be carefully enumerated.

    I’ve made a suggestion for the changing of social security with one new approach, which is a compromise between the left and right, and is fiscally responsible as well.

    There is a short piece in here which made me smile; what if conservative media covered Obama’s Iraq speech like liberals cover conservative events?  Perhaps, if you are a liberal, seeing it this way might help you understand the constant bias we see.

    Oh, did you know the combined network news viewer ship fell to a dramatic low?  Was that on the front page of your newspaper or at the top of your news today?

  • 1Chronicles 11   posted 8/26/2010   (HTML)   (PDF)   1Chronicles 11:      I began working on this chapter several years ago and just picked it up and spent the last 3 months on it.  Therefore, the document online has been updated a great deal and uploaded (as of June–August of 2010).  The first quarter of this chapter deals with David as King over all Israel, and the second portion is a list of David’s great military men.  Now, you may think that a long list of names is boring, but there is a lot to be learned in this chapter and a great deal of application.  Several short doctrines are covered in this chapter (the Suzerain-Vassal treaty; the Jebusites, Joab, the Pivot, prophecies about David becoming king, David pouring out the drink offering, Ashtoreth and I just had to include George Will’s excellent column on the pencil czar).  Furthermore, there are links the great doctrines of the client nation, redemption, Bethlehem, the Arabah and Masada.  Also, very importantly, there is a lot of real-life application found in this chapter.  This is an important chapter in the Word of God; furthermore, it is an unplowed field, as no one has ever spent more than 5 or 6 pages on this chapter at most .  The exegesis is in excess of 250 pages.     http://kukis.org/Chronicles/1Chron11.htm   http://kukis.org/Chronicles/1Chron11.pdf  

  • Conservative Review #140  posted 8/22/10  (HTML)   (PDF)  New article: “How Can Obama Do and Say Such Stupid Things?”  It was posted this morning on Flopping Aces and has been re-posted at several more sites.  It is based upon a question that Bill O’Reilly asked, “How can Obama say the things he does?  Doesn’t he know that he is going to get hammered for some of this stuff?” (I am paraphrasing).  I answer Bill’s question.

    Like before, there ought to be some news items in here that you have not heard yet.

    The quotes are always good.

    Great vids this week.

    Hope you enjoy the comedy relief section.

    And a passel of thought-provoking articles.

    It’s a lot to read.

  • Conservative Review #139  posted 8/15/10  (HTML)   (PDF)  Conservative Review #139

    You may not realize it, but a lot happened this past week.  There is a lot of information packed in this issue.

    Quotes are great and do not pass up the vids.  I forgot to include Glenn Beck’s shows this week (it just now occurs to me).  Will mention those next week.

    The socialist Party of American finally revealed which Congressmen are members; there are 70 of them.  Most of them will not surprise you.  The number ought to.

    There are a lot of articles about the economy from several different viewpoints.

    Two particularly good articles about the collapse of the left and 10 reasons why Obama’s popularity is fading quickly.

    What is going on with healthcare and Government Motors?  The info is right here.

    It’s a lot to read.

  • Conservative Review #138  posted 8/8/10  (HTML)   (PDF)  Often, when I put this review together, after writing the introductory 8 or 10 pages, I am often too worn out to do more.  However, it is timely to explain judicial activism, what it is and what should be done about it.  There are 2 other articles on this same topic.

    McCain and Coburn put out a list of the wasteful projects found in the Stimulus Bill.  Is this what you thought we ought to be spending money on?  Is this why our economy has been in a stall for the past year?

    However, to be fair (but not really balanced), Tim Geithner wrote a piece this week about the summer of recovery—remember mission accomplished?  Same deal.

    A surprisingly neutral article on the TEA party people.  How did that sneak into the news?

    Also, an article about Calvin Coolidge that Cal Thomas wrote a long time ago.  If you do not know who Coolidge is or what he did, you need to read up on this man—one of the greatest presidents from the 20th century. .

    Great quotes again this week.  Short takes are always good, and require about 1 minute each to read.

  • Conservative Review #137  posted 8/1/10  (HTML)   (PDF)   Great quotes again this week.  That’s my favorite thing, finding the best quotes of the week, so you know what all of these people are actually saying.  The news reports are all about hatred and anger on the right, but that is not what is really going on, as you can tell from these quotes.

    Short takes are always good, and require about 1 minute each to read.

    The media bias is getting more and more blatant.  Several examples are given.

    Plus great articles, including Brent Bozell’s 20 questions to the Washington Post about JournoList (notice how the media has downplayed this story?); 2 Democrats write about the divisiveness of this president, and what an assault there as been on the rule of law over the past 18 months.

  • Conservative Review #136  posted 7/25/10  (HTML)   (PDF)

    This was an incredible week! I was knocked over by the excellent article called the Ruling Class, which is long, but well worth reading. Furthermore, this ought to dispel the notion that TEA party people, Rush Limbaugh and the conservative movement are simply shills for the Republican party. If you think that, you are clueless as to what is going on.

    xjobs.jpg

    Even more significant than this is JournoList, where a collection of 400+ journalists participated in what appears to be a daily e-letter, wherein stories and policies were discussed. Yes, policies! This group, which included Time Magazine editor Joe Klein, NY Times writer Paul Krugan and now budget director Pete Orszag, curing the 2008 election, discuss things, e.g., how to bury the Reverend Wright story and the best ways to attack Sarah Palin. Did you ever wonder why you would flip from one news station to another, and find them covering the same stories using, very often, the same phrases? Did you ever wonder about, how could you read the print media (except for the WSJ) or watch televised media (except for FoxNews) and they seemed to do more than bring you the news; they helped you to decide who the right presidential candidate was. If you are a liberal, I do not suppose you will appreciate or even understand the significance of this story. Don’t worry. Your own news broadcasts will assure you that it’s nothing, it’s unimportant, and not to worry about it. Everything is alright. Next story, the economy continues to recover.

  • The Doctrine of  the Client Nation  posted 7/23/2010   (HTML)   (PDF)   Not all nations are equal, and it is clear that God blesses some nations far more than others.  Compare the United States to Kuwait, Qatar or to the U.A.E..  Even though the per capita income may be similar, these nations could not be more different.  The difference between them is, the United States is a client nation to God and the others are simply a worldly kingdoms which serve the god of this world.  (1) A Client Nation to God has free and open evangelism within its borders.  (2) Furthermore, in a client nation, the Word of God is being taught and there are a significant number of believers who are interested in the Word.   (3) The client nation preserves and protects and disseminates the Word of God.  (4) The client nation sends out missionaries to a variety of other countries.  (5) Finally, a client nation acts as a haven for the Jews.  Although there might be some anti-Semitism within a client nation, Jews are free and protected by the laws of that nation.  These are key elements of the client nation, and this explains why the quality of life in one nation seems to be so much greater than that anywhere else (e.g., England in the 19th century or the United States in the 20th century and beyond).  This is a lenthy doctrine, over 35 pages, with extensive BIblical references and historical documentation.  This concept was first put together by R. B. Thieme, Jr., and this doctrine probably would not even be available apart from his work.  Much of this information has been taken from Bob's teaching, as well as Robert McLaughlin's, and there has been a great deal of material added as well.  You may notice some changes in this doctrine; I am still refining it.  This is a part of the exegetical study of 1Chronicles 11, which should be completed within the month.

  • Conservative Review #135  posted 7/18/10  (HTML)   (PDF)  Did you know that the one-day increase for June 30 of this year was $165,931,038,264.30 - bigger than the entire annual deficit for fiscal year 2007?  That’s the U.S. debt increase for one day!

    Did you know that a manufacturing plant utilized the energy from the heat it produces and has turned that into more energy than solar panels have generated?

    There are a whole lot of stories ignored by much of the media.

  • Conservative Review #134  posted 7/11/10  (HTML)   (PDF)  Great quotes this week; most of them from liberals. 

    There is one moderately slick political chess move and an extremely clever one from the past.  Don’t miss By the Numbers or Polling by the Numbers.

    I also recommend the news section, which is the first column in this ezeen.  I try not to editorialize (too much), and there are often a number of stories you haven’t heard, seen or read about (like the plant which is recycling green energy way beyond what solar power has done).

    Provocative articles as usual.  Always new links.  Excellent vids.

    It is more than you can read.  You will find yourself better informed than after watching a week of alphabet news.

  • Conservative Review #133  posted 7/4/10  (HTML)   (PDF)  There are a lot of quotes this week.  It is one of my favorite things to put together.  The Short Takes I think are quite good this week as well.  Don’t miss reading By the Numbers.

    I always include a lot of media links. These are the very best of what is out there.  If the topic interests you, check the media link.  Also, if you haven’t watched Glenn Beck yet, because you hate him, at least try the July 2, 2010 show.  Most of his shows take about 8 or 10 minutes, and then you start to really get into it.  There is no one out there presenting the material he is presenting.

    Some of the best articles culled from dozens of sources on the gulf oil spill, Obama’s economic approach, Obama’s fake immigration reform, the tax hikes which are coming, and many other topics.

    It is more than you can read.  You will find yourself better informed than after watching a week of alphabet news.

    Great quotes this week, as always.  Take a look at “By the Numbers;” also an excellent column.  There are a great set of vids this week as well.  In case you are not checking these out, you will be surprised as to how informative and entertaining this section is.

    What has Obama done with respect to the oil crisis?  What should he do?  This is not a carefully organized article, but  I simply listed the things which he has done and what he should have done.  You decide for yourself if I am on target here.

    Several outstanding articles, including some from Conn Carroll, Ben Stein, and Thomas Sowell.  Also, a little bit from Glenn Beck’s show about Ayn Rand.  It’s a short article; did you know about this?  Email one of them each day to your favorite liberals.

  • Update on the Exegesis of Chronicles.  Posted June 19, 2010.  The exegesis of the first 7 or 8 chapters of Chronicles was done ages ago, and there were many bad links in them.  Those links were all updated.  The links to the Chronicles chapters was updated to include a brief chapter synopsis, along with some of the important information to be found in that particular chapter (e.g., important doctrines).  Chronicles Links  (HTML)   (PDF)   Also, 1Chron. 11, which is incomplete, was uploaded.  It will take me another month to complete that chapter.  (HTML)   (PDF)

  • The Doctrine of the Arabah 4/17/10  (HTML)   (PDF)   As I began to encounter this word more and more often, without having a good grasp of its meaning, I decided that it was about time to examine this word in great depth.  This word shows up a variety of times in the Pentateuch, in Samuel and in Chronicles (where the areas called Arabah are much different from those in Numbers and Deuteronomy); and this word also shows up in Psalm 68, where the KJV translates it as heaven (which confuses the entire passage and spoiled a huge number of subsequent translations which often default to the KJV).  For most people, examining the entire 24 pages of this doctrine is unnecessary; any one of the summaries at the end of the doctrine should be enough.  Also updated: Numbers  (HTML)   (PDF) and Psalm 68  (HTML)   (PDF).

  • Deuteronomy is updated.  4/16/10.  (HTML) (PDF).   I have been working on the Doctrine of the Arabah as of late, and Deuteronomy was updated with respect to the references in this book to the Arabah.

  • Conservative Review #122 posted 4/11/10  (HTML)   (PDF)  There are a lot of excellent quotes this week, from Democrats and Republicans.

    There is a lot of excellent media available this week, including one speaker at the Southern Republican Leadership Convention that most media outlets are completely ignoring...someone who is a possible presidential candidate, whose name you do not even know.

    How China is a good example of unintended consequences (which consequences could impact our lives in the next decade or two).

    In this issue is stuff which is all about you AC unit and how it will cost you about twice as much to repair it, in some cases.

    The healthcare law, freedom and personal responsibility are covered, and how the concept of freedom is being changed.

    Several articles on the economics of what is going on, which should get your attention no matter how you vote.

    Did you know that people close to the president are moving to shut Glenn Beck down?

    And the way the media is reporting, you would think that all of the anger and racism is on the right, but that just isn’t so.

    Or, how about Obama’s many broken promises?  I think the President has set a record here.  We have most of them listened in the article entitled The Complete List of Obama Statement Expiration Dates by Jim Geraghty.

    Maybe you want to tell them about the disgruntled Democrats who are joining the TEA party; CNN did a story on that, and the link is in this issue.

    There are 2 stories which I think are particularly important: “The Problem with the Safety Net” and “Is Obama Intentionally Destroying our Economy?”

    Also included, 3 aspects of healthcare and the Obamacare package that no one is discussing, but ought to be.

    What are the 5 words Obama will not say?

    Are you sick of all this news about healthcare?  If it passes, expect to hear healthcare for the next 4 to 10 years.  This is just the foot in the door by liberal communitarians; and this is just the beginning of people fighting back.

  • Parallels between the Signs of Moses and the Signs of Jesus  Posted 3/20/2010   (HTML)   (PDF)   At the Communion Service in Berachah Church on March 14, 2010, R. B. Thieme III spoke about the 7 great signs of Jesus, as named in the book of John.  As he was teaching this, I could not help but think of parallels between these signs of our Lord and the signs of Moses, performed 1500 years earlier in the land of Egypt.  Whereas, these parallels are not always exact, nor is there an exact 1 to 1 correspondence between them, there is a striking similarity between the first, second to the last and the last sign of Moses and the first, second to the last and the last great sign that Jesus did, as recorded in the book of John.

  • Genesis Lessons #1-70   posted 3/17/2010   (HTML)   (PDF)  This is a series where each lesson is 3-5 pages and the material is covered thoroughly, but without a lot of time spend on the Hebrew.  I may allude to 1 or 2 Hebrew words in a lesson, but the Hebrew of every verse is not exegeted in this lesson set.  So far, in these 70 lessons, we are nearing the end of Gen. 7, the Great Flood of Noah.  This newest set of lessons which were just added (lessons 61-70) include the Basic Mechanics of the Spiritual Life; the careful organization of Gen. 6:1-13 (the organizational aspects to the book of Genesis are amazing); What the Ark of Noah Represents; the Doctrine of the Ark in the Bible; and Miracles in the Bible.  Two topics also discussed: why the narrative of the ark and the flood is not just some story and Noah's Personal feelings about the ark and his responsibility.

  • Conservative Review #118 posted 3/14/10  (HTML)   (PDF)  My favorite is generally the quotes.  This week is quite good.  If you did not know about the textbook wars in Texas and how this affects you, there are vids and articles on this.

    Excellent by the numbers column this week...it will help to put green energy into perspective.

    People try to tug on your heartstrings about the poor.  There is an article in here with stats which is going to surprise you about America’s poor.

    I have included one liberal, anti-FoxNews article.  It does not have within it a single hard fact.

    There is an article from two moderate Democrats about Obama and healthcare which is quite good.

  • Conservative Review #117 posted 3/7/10  (HTML)   (PDF)  

    There are great articles in this week’s review.  This time, in the “Say What” section, there are mostly quotations from liberals (and lots of them); and I have 2 articles written by liberals in this issue as well.

    In case you are confused about which is actually going on with regards to healthcare, this issue will straighten you out.  3 of the bills/proposals out there are meaningless; there is only one bill which counts which is up for a vote.

    This is an article which is proof positive (as if you need it) of how biased the liberal media is, and one which helps to explain why public schools are treating history as they do (and what is this government movement against private schools and home schooling?).

    It was another great week, and far too much happened!  Enjoy!

  • 2Samuel 10  uploaded 3-5-10  (HTML)   (PDF) documents wars between Israel, Ammon and Aram. There are 2 options with regards to this chapter and 2Sam. 8: (1) they are descriptions of the same event or (2) they are descriptions of 2 different events.  The details are quite different from 2Sam. 8 (which differences will be discussed in detail in this exegesis), so we are describing different wars.  However, there appears to be a fairly long period of time in between these chapters (at least a decade).  One thing that is different in this chapter is, I went back and listened to the teaching of R. B. Thieme, Jr. on this chapter, and integrated many of the notes and doctrines which he gave with this exegesis (he is credited throughout).  Some of the topics which are covered are: Principles of Warfare, Why all of this War and Tactics in the Bible?, the historical background for this chapter, the arrogance in Hanun’s state department (Hanun is the new king of Ammon), arrogance and leadership (with several modern examples), The Principle of Offensive Action, The Principle of Mass, Thieme on Elite Forces, what exactly is a flying column, fighting from interior lines, fighting from exterior lines (and other military jargon which Thieme would toss around), and Thieme on Freedom and Equality.  There are examples in this chapter of how a believer can properly interpret history (with some examples from Bob Thieme on his teaching 40 years ago).  I wrote this chapter during the last half of 2009 and for a couple months into 2010, so there are many modern-day applications (our president and his actions make for excellent application).  This chapter is filled with maps, so that you will be able to visualize what is happening, and which army came from where.  There’s one more thing: Joab will be trapped between 2 armies and at a tactical disadvantage; so, how was he able to prevail?  I think there are enough textual clues which reveal not only his strategy and tactics, but exactly why he was able to defeat Aram’s mercenaries.  This is exclusive to this commentary; you will not find this in any other commentary on this chapter.

  • Conservative Review #115    2/21/10   (HTML)   (PDF) Outstanding articles this week; more reasons why you ought not to put your healthcare into the hands of government.

    Excellent quotes this week, including one you may not have heard from Evan Bayh.

    I highly recommend the By the Numbers column this week.  The polling is interesting as well.

    There are several things throughout this issue which indicate that the alphabet media is simply looking to guide your thinking; they do not have interest in bringing you the news.  One of the most glaring examples is the big news about global warming this week...and if you do not watch or look for alternate media, you don’t even know what that news is.

    And did you know that the White House has a new communications strategy?  It is all about running the White House like they did the campaign.

    Also the Mount Vernon Statement and a list of many of the Stimulus projects (they will make you grind your teeth).

  • Conservative Review #113    2/7/10   (HTML)   (PDF)  Outstanding issue this week.  

    “Each of us here today [at the national TEA party convention] is living proof that you don’t need an office or a title to make a difference; and you don’t need a proclaimed leader, as if we are all a bunch of sheep who need a leader,” said Sarah Palin.

    Glenn Beck said, “A community organizer who told us that we could lower the oceans by inflating our tires can’t solve our economic problems?  Really?”

    Did you know that our top security people believe that a terror attack attempt is certain?

    Have you seen the video which explains why it is taking so long to train the Afghan soldiers?

    Did you know that Obama’s monthly deficit in 2010 is roughly equal to Bush’s deficit for all of 2007?

    It’s all here in this issue, which an incredible collection of articles on the budget, how to really cut the budget, on the waste and pork in the Stimulus Bill (since there is another Stimulus bill out there right now, but it will not be called Stimulus II, but it will be called a Jobs bill); the terror policies of Obama are not much different from Bush and Cheney’s, etc.

    This is an issue of great stuff; enjoy!

  • Conservative Review #112    1/31/10   (HTML)   (PDF)   A lot happened this week:

    Jonathan Stewart had one of his best lines: “This guy is one scotch away from being Ron Burgundy,” spoken of Chris Matthews, and Matthews realized that he forgot for an hour that Obama was black.

    It will be logically explained to you why we know banks were forced to take TARP money.

    Why Obama has no clue as to what free enterprise and innovation are all about.

    Ben Stein did the simple arithmetic: if the average job pays around $50,000/year and the Stimulus Bill was $800 billion, there should have been 16 million jobs created.

    You knew, of course, that Oprah is the #1 television personality; but did you know that #2 is now Glenn Beck?

    A lot happened this week, so this is a huge issue.  Guaranteed, you will find 3 or 4 articles which will capture your interest.

  • Conservative Review #111    1/24/10   (HTML)   (PDF)   Outstanding, dramatic week; great quotes; and a issue filled with outstanding articles.  And, as usual, news before it happens.

    Did you know that the Director of National Intelligence, Dennis Blair along with the Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano  and Michael Leiter the Director of the National Counter Terrorism Center all admitted that none of them were consulted about how to handle the Christmas day terrorist bomber?  

    I am sure you heard Keith Olbermann’s quote: "In short in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible homophobic racist reactionary ex-nude-model tea-bagging supporter of violence against women and against politicians with whom he disagrees. In any other time in our history this man would have been laughed off the stage as an unqualified and disaster in the making by the most conservative of conservatives. Instead the commonwealth of Massachusetts is close to sending this bad joke to the Senate of the United States."  How is it possible to call someone a homophobe, and, in the same breath, call him by a homophobic pejorative?

    However, did you hear what Dennis Miller said?  “The French...had to do away with all vending machines in schools because of obesity—no More snack cakes, no more candies, no more sodas.  It is all a part of the French master plan to raise healthier cowards.  It’s nice to hear the French have finally taken a stand against somebody, and it’s Little Debbie.”

    A lot happened this week and there is a lot to think about.  All in this latest issue of Conservative Review.

    If you need an explanation as to what caused our economic crisis or want an explanation to email to others, that is included at the end of Financial Crisis Compensation Fee, which is a good analysis of Obama’s most recent proposition.

    Outstanding set of articles this week, including a speech from President Obama of a year ago.  See if his promises are anything like what he has done.

    Karl Rove appends an article with a short, 200 word addition and Axelrod writes a rebuttal; Rove will write an answer to Axelrod’s article this week.

    Great vids this week, including 2 of Beck’s better shows.

    The press’s bias when it comes to Reid’s remarks and Obama stealing from the banks are dramatic; even liberals should be able to grasp the press is not a neutral 3rd party here.

    Under This Week’s Events, I listed 3 stories you probably did not hear about.  Quotes of the Week are always good.

    I highly recommend listening to Walter E. Williams subbing for Rush Limbaugh.  If nothing else, listen to hour 2 (which is actually 38 minutes).  He’s brilliant, he’s hilarious and he interviews Thomas Sowell, which is always fantastic.

    Also, don’t miss Daniel Hannan, the voice of reason across the pond.  Two recent videos of him.

    Under my short takes, I give two distinguishing features of conservatives and liberals; see if you agree.

    I think I know what SNL will do next week.

    Nearly 3 columns of what is going to happen this next year.

    Fantastic article one what our Stimulus money is being spent on.

    Plus this is loaded with important facts like, $871,000 spent per house by our government to save the mortgage (which the value of the average house was less than $200,000).

    It was a great Christmas week, and a lot happened.

    If you are having trouble will millions, billions and trillions, I’ll see if I can help you out with that.

    I am offering up what I think is necessary to fix the United States.  I think it is a good article...

    There are great sets of quotations in this issue.  Included are the awards handed out by the Media Research Center.  They did a great job.

    There are several excellent articles on the cost and contents of healthcare legislation.  Particularly, if you are a young person, and you have not really paid much attention to what is going on, this is the issue you need to read.  Just read the articles about healthcare with an open mind.

    By the way, if you are a young person, you need to pay attention; it is your money and your children’s money that is being spent.

    What is Copenhagen all about?  Sarah Palin’s most clever line.  Will the arctic ice be gone in 5 years?  Let’s ask Al Gore about that.  Some of Dennis Miller’s best lines; he was on fire this week, which certainly proves global warming is true.  

    The Obama interview and did some of his lines sound familiar?  It is because he has issued dire warnings before of doom and gloom.

    Links to one of Glenn Beck’s best shows.  European’s have spent billions on global warming.  How has this been working out for them?  And the U.S. has essentially spent nothing.  How do we compare in our respective Cabon footprints?

    Some of the best articles on healthcare legislation, Obama and our economy.

    There is so much that happened this week.

    Congress is spending and spending and spending.  There is a good chance you don’t even know about half of what they are doing.

    Do you recall all of the promises President Obama has made about healthcare?  We have an independent agency saying that all of that is false; and, not too much of a surprise, your own healthcare costs are going to go up significantly (as well as your taxes).

    I have a no-nonsense, easy-to-understand article on the current healthcare bills and why Congressional healthcare is going to be so expensive.

    There are also a number of outstanding articles, including:

    Let me highly recommend Newt Gingrich’s commentary of the jobs summit and, more importantly, how to actually create jobs.  Also important are the 5 major flaws in health legislation and several articles on Climate Science.  Also, Obama’s vision of history and how this warps his understanding of today’s events.

    There are links to great media for this week: Steve Crowder at Club Gitmo, Greta’s TEA party show rebroadcasted; Glenn Beck’s Demise of the Dollar show rebroadcast.

    Don’t miss By the Numbers and Polling by the Numbers either this week.

  • 2Samuel 9  posted 11/28/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   2Samuel 9  is another look into David’s downtime. What do normal kings do during their downtime (when they are not at war or presiding over governmental matters)?  They may gather with their drinking buddies and drink and eat at feasts and party for weeks on end (Daniel 5:1–12).  However, another might build great edifices and engrave in prominent places his name and deeds. Another might multiply possessions to himself, looking to find fulfillment in all that he owns (Eccles. 2:4–10).  Another might go looking for a new wife or simply chase after women (2Sam. 11).  David searches out a member of Saul’s family, the rival dynasty, in order to shower grace upon him.  What he uncovers is Mephibosheth, a son of Jonathan, who is no longer living on to the property of his grandfather Saul, but being cared for by another family, while Ziba, a former servant of Saul’s, enjoys Saul’s property.  This is a fascinating narrative with great spiritual implications and foreshadowing.  This chapter of Samuel gives us an important look into the character of David, and better helps us to understand how Jesus Christ sees us.  Some of the topics of this chapter include such things as the destruction of the spiritual life of African Americans, liberation theology, slavery, slavery in the United States (a different take on this than you have read elsewhere—for instance, every African-American living in the United States should get down on their knees and thank God for the slavery of their ancestors), God’s treatment of the helpless, handicaps, and the importance of faithfulness in the little things (even if no one is looking).  However, what is most striking about this book is, its spiritual parallels.  God the Holy Spirit did not just throw this chapter into the middle of 2Samuel as human interest, but this book has a clear and powerful spiritual message.  One more thing: there is a slip of the pen in this chapter by the authority, which reveals to us who the authority or this chapter is.
  • 2Samuel 8 has been updated (again).   11/28/09   (HTML)   (PDF)  2Samuel 8 is all about David at war.  He goes to war against the Moabites, Aram of Zobah, Aram of Damascus, and the Edomites.  This is one of the few chapters of Samuel where there is a very serious copyist error, where the text reads Syria (Aram), but it should be Edom instead.  Although the book of Samuel is probably more riddled with copyist errors than any other book of the Old Testament, these errors tend to be fairly minor and have no appreciable effect upon any doctrine.  However, this error is a biggie, along the lines of that great copyist error found in 1Sam. 14:18, where Saul is said to have called for the Ark of God, but he really called for the Ephod of God.  There are topics in this chapter which are extremely important and timely for the believer of the 21st century (of any century): we examine war and the concept of a righteous war (which is very applicable today) as well as the divine perspective of Israel and her enemies.  There is also a fascinating organizational structure of the first half of this chapter, but I did not discover this until I got to 1Chron. 18, the parallel chapter in Chronicles (HTML)   (PDF).  There is a second half to this chapter where we see the men under David and we examine their various responsibilities.  In this second half of 2Sam. 8, we run into several problems: the parallel priesthoods, who is the father of whom (Abiathar or Ahimelech?), and who or what exactly are the Cherethites and the Pelethites. 
  • Conservative Review #102   11/23/09   (HTML)   (PDF)    A great set of quotes; a lot from liberals.

    Eric Holder's end game.  Since he is not going on precedence in order to try terrorists in a criminal trial (which is how a lawyer is supposed to function), so he has to have another reason.  I'll tell you what I think it is.  Also, if you have not seen it yet, you need to watch the Lindsay Graham grilling of Eric Holder.

    There is information and a video on SEIU that you need to watch.  This is one of the largest organizations which supports Obama.  SEIU head visits Obama more often than anyone else does.

    Did you know there is actually psychology involved in the camera work of the Walters-Palin interview?

    AP assigns 11 fact-checkers to Palin's book; 2 to the healthcare bill.

    News before it happens and Prophecies fulfilled are 2 excellent columns, if you want your news before it happens.

  • 1Chronicles 18 just posted.  11/16/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   Although the writer of Chronicles used Samuel as one of his source documents, there are some differences between 1Chron. 18 and 2Sam. 8, every single one of which will be noted.  There are some textual problems as well, and they will be sorted out as well.  One of the most important applications that we get from the study of this chapter is the Biblical view of war.  Included in this study is, "Some Points on War", "What is a Righteous War?", and some introductory points to this chapter of Chronicles which substantiates that some just wars are aggressive, offensive wars.  Included in this study are doctrines which, insofar as I know, are not covered anywhere else, e.g., "Is David Amassing Blood Money?" and "The Parallel Structure of 1Chron. 18."  There are several doctrines on the Davidic Covenant.  Also covered is the dual priesthood of David's day, Zadok and Abiathar and Ahimelech, the Cherethites and the Pelethtites, as well as a plethora of maps, so that you have some idea as to the movement of David's armies.

    Big thumbs up to “V” and link to first episode

    Did you know that Muslims celebrated the Fort Hood shootings?  In the United States.

    Short takes includes some to some of the important differences between liberals and conservatives.

    This issue is filled with number—how many children are on food stamps at one time or another; how many governmental agencies Pelosi-care creates (and a chart of those agencies); and the number of millionaires in Congress.

    Read the Party of No; Republicans can turn it around and use this slogan.

    I offer up some possible solutions for the Fort Hood tragedy...but I am still formulating some of these ideas.

    Plus, a little bit about what I believe is a real political conspiracy possibly equivalent to Nixon’s Watergate.  I do not generally go in for conspiracies....but I think one happened this last election, and the blame goes pretty far up.  You won’t read this anywhere else.

  • Is Jesus a Liberal?  11/5/09 and updated 11/7/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   I recently came across an article where someone asserted that Jesus is a liberal, and he quoted "Thou shalt not kill" and "Turn the other cheek" etc. etc.  The problem with most liberals who want to bring Jesus into their fold is, they take a few isolated passages our of context, often giving them a meaning which they do not have; and then give these redefined passages prominence over all else.   However, it is still a reasonable question....Is Jesus a Liberal?

    Several articles about healthcare, because if you are not watching FoxNews, you are not getting any real information on the healthcare bill (although, admittedly, 60 Minutes did a good segment on Medicare fraud)

    Great quotes this week, such as Valerie Jarrett speaking truth to power.  And Rush’s comment, finding out that he quoted Obama from a hoax paper, and saying, “But I stand by that quote anyway!”

    How did Cash for Clunkers really do?  Do you know what it costs taxpayers per car?

    How about those jobs...the few that the Stimulus Bill created, do you know how much they cost?

    Also, the Chris Wallace/Rush Limbaugh Interview.

    A lot happened this week.  Great quotes, great articles, great issue.  It’s all in Conservative Review #99:

    This is filled with news that you have not heard about...did you know that Obama-care part I has already gone before the Senate...and was shot down?  Do you know that the pay czar is looking to have control over more salaries than those belonging to TARP money recipients?  Did you know that ACORN also gets FEMA grants?  Have you become accustomed to 10% unemployment?  It could be the new normal.

    Great quotes this week, such as Alan Grayson’s comments about Dick Cheney, “I have trouble listening to what he says sometimes because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he is talking; but my response is this: he is just angry because the President doesn't shoot old men in the face."

    Lots of fulfilled prophecies in this issue.  Lots of information.  It all happened this week.  Enjoy!

  • Conservative Review #97   10/18/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   Were you aware of just how many people attacked Rush Limbaugh over the purchase of the St. Louis Rams?  Did you know one was from Obama’s transition team?  Did you know that anyone could have, with an hour or so research, determine that the racist quotes attributed to Rush were never actually made by him?  Why would news organizations run with false material that could have easily been fact-checked?  If CNN fact checks Saturday Night Live skits, surely they have the ability to do a little fact-checking on their own stories.

    Did you know that the White House Communications director praised Chairman Mao, a man who killed 70 million people, to an audience of high school kids?  This is the same director of communications who just this week went after FoxNews for its bias.

    Did you know that the government has set up funding for ACORN, even if direct government funding is halted?  Banks are required to either make loans that will not be paid back (which is what got us into this economic decline in the first place or they have to pay a fine to ACORN.  We’re talking millions of dollars here.

    Did you hear about the USS New York?

    Did you hear about Sheila Jackson Lee denouncing Rush Limbaugh (a private citizen) on the Congressional floor?

    Do you know where the public stands on healthcare today?

    Did you hear about someone asking Al Gore a difficult question about global warming?

    A lot happened this week.  It’s all in Conservative Review #97:

  • Conservative Review #96   10/11/09   (HTML)   (PDF)  Did you know that some powerful Democrats are exempting their states from some provisions of the healthcare bill?

    How is it possible for the healthcare bill to cover more people, provide better coverage, and yet, will somehow reduce the deficit?  I will explain that.

    Are there 40,000 or more people dying in the streets every year because they lack healthcare?  Where did this number come from?  I’ll explain.

    Obama’s budget is running a deficit...so what?  Bush ran a deficit as well, right, as have most presidents.  There is a big difference...

    Did you know that CNN actually fact-checked a comedy skit on Saturday Night Live because it presented our President in a negative light?  They did not do this for any skit on Bush, Palin or McCain.

    Great media this week.  People standing in line in Detroit for Obama money are interviewed.  Children sing adoring songs to Rush Limbaugh. Big Bird asks Michelle Obama to produce her husband’s birth certificate.

    Will our government do anything to involve themselves with media?  Will they fund some media?  Will they restrict some media?

    It is all in this issue of Conservative Review #96

    There are several new regular columns now: A Little Comedy Relief, A Little Bias, and Political Chess.

    And the regular columns: This Week's Events (I try not to editorialize here). Quotes of the Week (these are either funny to me, ironic, or revealing). Joe Biden Prophecy Watch (I stole the column head from the Fox All Stars, if memory serves; it is based upon Biden’s warning about Obama being tested). Must-Watch Media (with the internet, there is a lot which comes out every single week and some of which is well worth watching). Comedy Relief.  Short Takes (here, I get into editorializing; I recommend this section highly to liberals and conservatives both). By the Numbers (too often, liberals debate from made up assumptions; these numbers often set the record straight; one example this week is 40 million abortions, which liberals support as versus 3 terrorists who have been water boarded and subject to a few hours of discomfort—and we are supposed to ignore the abortions but become incensed over causing discomfort to not even a handful of terrorists). Polling by the Numbers (this is new; so you can see how the public is thinking). Saturday Night Live Misses (SNL will rarely make fun of Obama—his inability to speak when not on a teleprompter; but they will draw the most absurd caricatures of conservatives; and so, they miss so much that they could make fun of). Yay Democrats! (now and again I agree with what Dems want to do or with what specific Democrats say; you will be surprised at who I like this week). Obama-Speak (Obama is able to sound great and I find myself agreeing with much of what he says; but often he says one thing, and does something entirely different). Questions for Obama (although the press has improved slightly when it comes to asking Obama questions, they still do not hold his feet to the fire). You Know You've Been Brainwashed when... (if you have a particular mindset or a particular opinion which is not based upon facts; or the news keeps telling you one thing, when just the opposite is true). News before it happens (if I have a correct worldview, then I ought to be able to give you reasonable predictions of what is to come).

  • Conservative Review #94   9/27/09   (HTML)   (PDF)  There was a lot of news this week...did you know that Social Security is going broke?  I don’t mean in a few decades, but next year?  Do you know about the latest Obama resignation?  Do you know what is going on with ACORN this week (and did you know that there were ties between ACORN and the IRS?  I didn’t).  Did you know that the Senate health care bill can put you in jail if you do not buy government-approved insurance?  I will admit, I read just the headlines—some or all of which you have not heard of—and it is like we are in a new dimension.  Some of the headline news this week sounds made up, it is so crazy.

    I recommend my first two articles along with the quotations, the news of the week.  There is just so much that happened this past week!

    Define Your Terms—what you call compassion is really socialism or stealing.  Tinkerbell Politics—excellent description of Obama’s concept of ruling.  Baucus Bludgeons Humana (excellent article; first full-frontal assault on free speech).  Prez comes across as a gullible sap by Rich Lowry.  An Obama Speech in 13 Easy Steps by Rich Lowry.  On Afghanistan, Never Mind? by Rich Lowry.  U.N. climate meeting was propaganda: Czech president by Louis Charbonneau.  Obama and the Politics of Concession.  Iran and Russia put Obama to the test last week, and he blinked twice by Mark Helprin.  The Fox Panel on Afghanistan and the CIA.  'Special Report' Panel Rates Obama's U.N. Speech.  Who's on the rolodex of ACORN CEO? [from the Glenn Beck show].  Obamacare Puts Transparency and Accountability on Death Bed.  An email forward for Teachers.

    The Rush Section:
    The Official Obama Criticizer (always one of my favorite bits).  Obama Serves Up America on Silver Platter to UN Freak Show.  Khadafy Sounds like a Democrat (not that shocking nowadays).  Obama Shatters Our Self-Esteem; Denies American Exceptionalism.  Flatulence and Carbon Emissions (see how far carbon control is going in England).  Revisiting the "Financial Crisis" (excellent recap, in case you don’t know what happened).  Environmental Hysteria Doubles Down.  Sound Bites That'll Make You Puke

  • Conservative Review #93   9/20/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   This is a fantastic issue today!!  Some of the stories you are probably not aware of: Obama has doubled the amount of money in circulation, virtually overnight.  You, the taxpayer, are now on the hook for 90% of the mortgages in the United States (a year ago, this was 50% of the mortgages); and Congress wants al the student loan market.

    Let me recommend The Plane Analogy if you do not understand how anyone could oppose Obama-care (except for being a stingy, mean-hearted bastard, of course).  See what alternative media has done over the past few weeks.  There is a fantastic article which goes through Obama’s health care speech (the big one to Congress) and tells you in great detail what is wrong with it.

    If you recall the two sad stories that Obama told about mean health care insurance companies?  Turns out that Obama distorted the facts dramatically. 

    Don’t forget the quotes, the numbers and the short takes—all excellent this week.

    Oh, and tons of photos of the march on D.C.!

    Enjoy!
  • Psalm 21   9/14/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   God the Holy Spirit guides the writer of Scripture in such a way that, without waving that writer’s intelligence, vocabulary, train of thought and personality, records God’s Word to man.  In prophecy, we often find portions of prophecy which have a near and a far fulfillment.  Psalm 21 tells us what is going on with David and, simultaneously, with David’s Greater Son.  So, in a way, we have two psalms here by two authors.  Understanding this is the key to this psalm, and at the end of the psalm, I will give the two interpretations side-by-side the text.

    This study also explains why David, although the most spiritually mature of the kings, does not have an emphasis upon the Tabernacle or the sacrificial worship in his own writings.  There is also a builder analogy which helps to explain the functions of the Trinity.  This is another psalm where we find the name Jesus in the psalm itself.  We will also examine David, his stability and his rise to power; what is a righteous war; economic and social justice; and David, in this psalm, recognizes the blessings which God has laid on him.

    The doctrines covered include “The Ministry of the Holy Spirit to Jesus Christ,” “The Prayers of Jesus,” “How Majesty and Splendor are placed upon David, upon Jesus Christ, and upon the Church Age believer,” “God’s Essence as Portrayed in the Psalms,” “God’s relationship to man as found in the psalms,” “The Baptism of Fire,” “The Places of Judgment after Death,” “The Doctrine of Evil,” “Satan’s Present-Day Attacks against the 4 Divine Institutions,”

    There may be too much material on differentiating between the terms glory, honor, majesty, and splendor.
  • Conservative Review #92   9/13/09   (HTML)   (PDF)  Great quotes this week, like: Sign carried by Fort Worth woman during the 9-12 demonstration there: “Ask Santa Anna how it went for the last president who tried to take away Texans’ Freedom.”

    There is fantastic stuff in the must-see video, including a special on school textbooks (I had no idea either....); great short takes, and some great articles dealing with Obama-care, Obama’s speeches, and Obama’s economy.

    Obama-War Hawk?  Did you think this would happen?  I explain why.  The Obama Promise.  For you moderates, do you remember these promises?  It's Still the Economy, Stupid!  This could be America's greatest failed presidency. By Daniel Henninger  Obama and the Bureaucratization of Health Care by Sarah Palin.  What Republicans Should Say with Regards to Health Care Reform by Michael Medved.  Commentary on Obama's Speech (I am one of those conservatives who think that Obama did an excellent job at selling his plan; but do his claims hold up to scrutiny?).  Obama's Health Care Speech.  Obama's Health Care Speech in Plain English by Michael F Cannon (this is excellent).

    The Rush Section:  Joe Wilson was Right.  More Will Die with Obama-care.  The Government Wants to Control Our Diet.

  • Psalm 20   9/11/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   Most of the time, I end up feeling as if I had a good understanding of a psalm and its time and place.  However, I never felt that with Psalm 20.  I felt that in my exegesis, I was missing something, some key which would have unlocked this psalm for me.  This does not necessarily mean that exegeting and interpreting the psalm was problematic.  However, at the very end of this psalm, I put together a possible way that this psalm may have been sung (i.e., who sung what), and that may explain David’s organization for this psalm (his literary organization could be quite complex).  Part of the problem is determining, to whom is David speaking from verse to verse.

    In this psalm, we will examine God’s protection for believers in time; God’s protection of the United States; propitiation; the accuracy of the text of the Bible; the Dead Sea Scrolls; the state of America in 2009; how and why God is protecting the United States in the year 2009; our spiritual obligations; and our temporal lives in the light of eternity.

    Some of the doctrines covered include God answers prayer from His holy place; God’s right hand in the life of David; and God hears us and answers our prayers.

  • Conservative Review #91   9/6/09   (HTML)   (PDF)  

    There are some very important stories in here. The White House reaching out to the art community in order to get them to do some propaganda art; the news blackout of Van Jones all of this week. The quotations this week are outstanding, as are the first several videos (under must-watch media). If you have any question as to the concept of American exceptionalism, the first video will set you straight. There was so much that happened this past week.

    The Van Jones (non) feeding frenzy by Byron York (who covered this story when it was a story?). The Apollo Alliance and the Stimulus Bill (did they write the Stimulus Bill? Who are they?). Obama, the Mortal by Charles Krauthammer (always brilliant). True Health Care Reform by John Kyl (yes, conservatives have a plan). Educator-in-Chief—why do conservatives balk at Obama talking to the kids? Are we overreacting? Obama's Missed Opportunity—Obama could have parlayed this school thing into something fantastic, but he did not (please, do not send this idea to the White House, as I want Obama to fail ). How a Detainee Became An Asset Sept. 11 Plotter Cooperated After Waterboarding by Peter Finn, Joby Warrick and Julie Tate (here is what waterboarding got us). Cash for Clunkers Savings (not). EDITORIAL: Not wild about Harry from the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Enough is enough, Harry Stop the childish bullying by Sherman Frederick (I don’t care how liberal you are; you will agree that Harry Reid did a way, way stupid thing here).

  • Conservative Review #99   8/30/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   There are so many good things in this issue!  I strongly recommend reading What Most Liberals Do Not Understand (when it comes to conservatives rejecting Obama-care); we do know all the talking points, we really do!

    There are several great vids: John Stossel did just a short bit on health care which was fantastic (this is under Must Watch Media).  Glenn Beck had a great week this week.  Although, quite frankly, he could have condensed it all to 2 shows, it was still great stuff.  I recommend any of the Glenn Beck vids (if you watch 3 minutes and decide, not for me, then that’s fine; just choose one and watch it).  Bill Kristol and Natalie Arceneaux make excellent points on health care insurance.  Besty Mccaughey is insightful as ever, as is Thomas Sowell.  

    And, of course, Rush Limbaugh doesn’t want the president anywhere near his penis, which is a good conservative position to take, on many levels.

  • Conservative Review #89   8/23/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   There are some excellent things in this issue: the first quotation is outstanding; the Health Care Reform Short Takes, just in case you do not understand why so many people oppose Obama-care.  By the numbers will tell you just who is uninsured.  The George Will article (actually taken from him speaking on a panel) has him covering the 4 arguments for a public option and why they are faulty.  I am moderately happy with the H1N1 proposal; hope it communicates.  Plus, Thomas Sowell always has something smart and persuasive to say.

  • The first 40 lessons on the book of Genesis have now been uploaded.   8/20/09.  General Introduction (PDF) (4 lessons); Introduction to the Bible (PDF) (14 lessons);   Introduction to the Book of Genesis (PDF) (3 lessons).  All of these introductory lessons are one document.  As of August 20, 2009, I have added the first 40 lessons in Genesis.  Whereas I had hoped to cover this material in less detail, I must admit to getting bogged down in with some detail.  Genesis 1 (the first 40 lessons in an HTML format)   (PDF version).  All of the doctrines covered are now included as a part of the first few pages and hyperlinked to where they are found in the exegesis.

  • Conservative Review #88   8/16/09   (HTML)   (PDF)  There is so much out there by way of information on the health care bill.  I tried to include which articles seemed to be the most informative.

    The thing not to miss: check the Hannity townhall meeting under Must-watch Media; check out the quotes, particularly by Dr. Ezekiel Immanuel; the Michelle Bachman and the Daniel Hannan vids, and Steve Crowder interviewing the unruly mob in Denton and especially PJ TV’s ipod ap and the Cavuto-Simmons interviews.  Oh, and the articles are outstanding as well.  If you want to be informed, here it is:

  • Conservative Review #87   8/9/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   I strongly recommend reading at least the quotations today; they are fantastic! Example: Michelle Malkin: "They misunderstand the roots of this [anti-Obama-care] movement. It is not directed from the top down. The Republican party could only wish they were this competent."  Great week for quotes. If you wonder how anyone could object to liberal healthcare reform, then read "Why People Object to Obama-Care" as well as "Questions Pollsters need to ask." (In the Rush section).  There are things in this healthcare bill which are going to surprise you!

    Why People Object to Obama-Care (just in case you think that a government-option is going to make health care cheaper and better).  Astroturf Objections.  The New White House: www.Snitch.Com (What if George Bush did this?).  What is Being Sent Out to Obama Supporters (these are the actual emails which Obama and company are sending out).  Take Two Aspirin And Call Me When Your Cancer is Stage 4 by Ann Coulter.  `You Are Terrifying Us' by Peggy Noonan.  Palin on Obama's Evil Death Panel by Mark Thiessen.  Your Guide to Corporate Astroturfing: Lobbyist-Run Groups Orchestrating... by Kate Thomas.  Jim DeMint's Blog (he makes some excellent points).  The New Commandments (author unknown).  List of the Blue Dog Democrats (in case you need to know who to call.

    ____________________________________________

    The Rush Section: These are the Questions for Pollsters to Ask (these are outstanding and VERY specific questions—stuff you do not know are in the House healthcare bill).  Far-Left Leadership Ripping Dems Apart.  Rush Interviews Eyewitness to Tampa Bay Townhall Meeting (this is what happened; especially important to those of you with limited news).  Rush Stands up for the Mob.  Axelrod Invents Astroturfing

  • Conservative Review #86   8/2/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   This is an excellent issue on health care legislation, as well as some insight on the Cash for Clunkers project.  I strongly recommend that you read why Health Care Costs Increase; and Cash for Clunkers (what is wrong with this program); and how there is at least one thing in the future that I cannot predict.

    Health Care Costs Increase—this is a common sense approach; read this, and why health costs are going up in the U.S. will become perspicuous...and, knowing this, tells you why Obama-care is not going to cut costs, because none of these things are addressed.  Cash for Clunkers—the Dems are sooooo proud of this program; I’ll tell you what is wrong with it.  The Future Confuses Me Here—I honestly have no clue whether Democrats will pass health care legislation or not...this is a tough one to call.  5 freedoms you'd lose in health care reform by Shawn Tully, editor at large at Money Magazine.  Why Is the Far Left Saying America Is a Dumb Country? by Bill O'Reilly.  'Special Report' Panel on Whether Government Will Coerce People Into Health Care Choices (great discussion with some excellent points; this is one of the reasons you ought to be watch FoxNews).  Clunker Health Care Reform by the Heritage Foundation.  Cash for Clunkers Why Obamanomics Will Fail by the Heritage Foundation

  • Conservative Review #84   7/19/09   (HTML)   (PDF)  There are a couple of excellent stories that I highly recommend: my observations on the press and how well it has informed the people of California (at least the ones I know).  Rove wrote an outstanding article about how Obama first tells us the Stimulus plan will do this, and since it did not do what is was supposed to do, Obama pretends that the Stimulus plan results were not what he originally said.  And, of course, the adoring press never calls him on it.  Karl Rove does.  You have heard over and over again, if you like your present health care plan that you can keep it?  Obama crafts his language very carefully.  Obama-care will keep you from changing to a different plan unless it is government-run health care.  Of course, your news did not tell you that.  Like many conservatives, I did nor worship Walter Conkite.  In fact, I hold him to blame, in part, for our loss in Vietnam, which loss was not inevitable; and the resultant 2–3 million deaths were not inevitable either.  Finally, two outstanding articles about the economy and health care, with information you don’t get on television or in your newspaper.

    The Problem with Our Press (I spend a few days out in California, and asked a few simple questions about certain farms which suddenly are going without water and about the huge TEA parties which have been held in Sacramento—I think that there have been 3.  Apparently, these are things which Sacramento news does not want anyone to know about.  The Czar List (there are a lot of them).  The President Moves the Economic Goalpost—The stimulus isn't working as originally advertised by Karl Rove.  It's Not An Option by Investor's Business.  Daily Cronkite Dies & Liberal Love-In Commences by Curt
    The Economy Is Even Worse Than You Think by Mortimer Zuckerman.  On Health Care, Obama Battles History and Human Nature by Geoff Colvin

    The Rush Section:  Obama is Tanking US Economy on Purpose.  Sotomayor Hides Her Radicalism.  Sessions Grills Sotomayor.  Another Obama Gaff.  Ginsburg Reveals True Reason for Abortion.  Sotomayor’s Many Gaffs.  Cheney’s Secret Plan

  • Conservative Review #82   7/5/09   (HTML)   (PDF) I did not write any complete articles this week, but look under the Short Takes and By the Numbers—there is a lot of important stuff going on this week.

    How health care 'reforms' will mess with your coverage by Betsy Mccaughey (don’t think that Obama care is just going to be another option or another player).  The Fox Panel and Honduras (Obama decided quickly to let his views be known here.  If you know nothing about this, I suggest you enjoy their comments).  Obama and Immigration by Dee Dee the Latina Freedom Fighter (Dee Dee’s latest missive, also available on Youtube.com; search for the Latina Freedom Fighter).  Chip and Helen Beat up on Robert Gibbs (text of their famous dustup this week)  This gives me a little hope.

    The Rush Section  Obama to Change your Lightbulbs.  Environmental Impact Inspection to Sell Your Own Home (of course, you knew nothing about this before this bill went up for a vote; by the way, this is the way that California is run...is there a chance that these thousands upon thousands of inspectors might put some strain on the California budget?).  Conservative Radio People are Terrorists (direct to you from the Sacramento Assembly).  Obama Economic Philosophy in a Nutshell (if you have not heard Rush pontificate on this, this is an important issue).



    In these first few regular columns, I try to offer up short and concise thoughts: This Week's Events (I try not to editorialize here).

  • Conservative Review #81   6/28/09   (HTML)   (PDF)  Cap and Trade (this bill blew through town in a week, will possibly be the most costly bill to the average person, and how much have you heard about it?).  3 Supreme Court Cases (there are at least 2 significant cases for them to rule on before summer vacation).  A few thoughts on the California Budget Problems (I get so disgusted with governmental dishonesty; they can’t meet their bills, and the first thing that they do is threaten to shut down the schools).  Dick Morris on the Obama Takeover (this is excellent; there are several strategies in order to insure an Obama victory in 3.5 years).  The 'Axis of Evil' and President Obama by Bill O'Reilly.  Unanswered Questions about Health Care by Neil Cavuto (Neil is fantastic).  The Obama Press Conference #4 (on Iran and Health Care) with a few comments by me.  His answers were so dishonest!  The Economic Impact of the Waxman-Markey Cap-and-Trade Bill by Ben Lieberman (outstanding article).  'Green jobs' studies contain fundamental flaws, think tank experts say by Mark Tapscott (the main problem is, green legislation destroys more jobs than it creates).  The High Cost of Cap and Trade: Why the EPA and CBO Are Wrong by heritage.org (this is short and you need to read it).

    The Rush Section: Cap and Tax Bill.  Is Obama an African Colonial? (This is a fascinating perspective).  The Waxman-Markey Bill simply Redistributes Wealth (I just heard Axelrod talk about how the poor will be getting more money back in a few years because of cap and trade).  It is all about control... The Government Determines the Health Care you Get.  Stock Markets-Who's Selling?  Energy Tax? Follow the Money.

  • Conservative Review #80   6/21/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   Great quotes this week; great numbers and poll numbers; and excellent short takes.  Also, do not miss the first two stories—Health Care by the Numbers and Something Fishy.

    Health Care-by the Numbers (these are simple numbers to work with, and why no one is touting this simple math, I do not know; this is an exclusive).  Something is Very Fishy Here (so, our government gets to screw things up, and then come in and say, “Well, we just need more government control to fix it.”).  Barbara Boxer, You're Okay (from NPR; they agree with Boxer.  Letter from a 4th grade teacher (okay, okay, we do not know who really wrote this, but the sentiments are good).  Barack Obama Complains About FOX News Again by Bill O'Reilly (Obama’s point, that all day long, there are negative stories on him on FoxNews is just a lie).  The Fox Panel on Iran Demonstrations (excellent points).

    The Rush Section: Gerald Walpin is not Afraid (is Sacramento aware of this story?).  Is Iraq Affecting Iran?  Who Regulates Obama?  Obama Takes Over Another Industry.  White House Trashes Gerald Walpin.  Canadian Health Care (examples).  There is No Health Care Crisis (this is the simple truth).

    In these first few regular columns, I try to offer up short and concise thoughts: This Week's Events (I try not to editorialize here). Quotes of the Week (these are either funny to me, ironic, or revealing). Joe Biden Prophecy Watch (I stole the column head from the Fox All Stars, if memory serves; it is based upon Biden’s warning about Obama being tested). Must-Watch Media (with the internet, there is a lot which comes out every single week and some of which is well worth watching). Short Takes (here, I get into editorializing; I recommend this section highly to liberals and conservatives both). By the Numbers (too often, liberals debate from made up assumptions; these numbers often set the record straight; one example this week is 40 million abortions, which liberals support as versus 3 terrorists who have been water boarded and subject to a few hours of discomfort—and we are supposed to ignore the abortions but become incensed over causing discomfort to not even a handful of terrorists). Polling by the Numbers (this is new; so you can see how the public is thinking). Saturday Night Live Misses (SNL will rarely make fun of Obama—his inability to speak when not on a teleprompter; but they will draw the most absurd caricatures of conservatives; and so, they miss so much that they could make fun of). Yay Democrats! (now and again I agree with what Dems want to do or with what specific Democrats say; you will be surprised at who I like this week). Obama-Speak (Obama is able to sound great and I find myself agreeing with much of what he says; but often he says one thing, and does something entirely different). Questions for Obama (although the press has improved slightly when it comes to asking Obama questions, they still do not hold his feet to the fire). You Know You've Been Brainwashed when... (if you have a particular mindset or a particular opinion which is not based upon facts; or the news keeps telling you one thing, when just the opposite is true). News before it happens (if I have a correct worldview, then I ought to be able to give you reasonable predictions of what is to come). Prophecies Fulfilled (these are prophecies which I have made weeks or months ago which have come to pass). Missing Headlines (stuff happens and your newspapers often ignore them or bury them in the back pages of your paper).

  • A weekly study in Genesis; lessons #1-30 are now posted.  6/17/09   This takes us to Genesis 3 and the fall.  (HTML)   (PDF).  There are introdoctory lessons to this study as well: (HTML)   (PDF)
  • Conservative Review #79   6/14/09   (HTML)   (PDF)    Under the Media, I highly recommend the speech by Krauthammer as well as the two film trailers: 33 minutes and Kimjongilia.  Also, you need to see the speech by Newt Gingrich; it is fantastic.  Short takes is always recommended.  A few short, logical points made by myself and others.  Each should take 1–2 minutes to read.

    I also recommend my own story on Obama’s Motivation, an area where I actually disagree with Rush.  Also, if you want an historical perspective on marriage and Israel (2 separate topics), see the 3 articles from Schulman, Medved, and Krauthammer.

    Obama's Motivation (for those who are watching, you know how bad our economy is getting, and you know Obama is not fixing things...so, why is that?  Is he really that evil as to want to screw all of America?  I don’t think so, I think he is sincere, but....).  Love or lust, Obama and the fawning press need to get a room by Phil Bronstein (from SF?).  Krauthammer on Gitmo (I look forward every day to coming home and watching Fox Reports and catching the Fox Panel’s take on things, which usually includes Charles Krauthammer).  Obama's issues crumbling by Dick Morris.  Two perspectives you may not have heard before: The Worst Thing About Gay Marriage: It isn't going to work by Sam Schulman.  Hollywood Contradictions on the Importance of Marriage by Michael Medved.  The Settlements Myth by Charles Krauthammer.  What's behind Obama's sudden attempt to fire the AmeriCorps inspector general? by Byron York (if you live in California, do you know about this?).

    The Rush Section: Safeway Medical Insurance (here is how to use free enterprise with medical insurance.  Dems Brace Themselves for CBO Numbers (what they claim it is going to cost and what it will cost, are two different things.  Obama's Cairo Speech and Iran's Election (let me add, if Obama is taking credit for the discussion in Iran; will he take credit for the election results as well?).  Obama Salary Caps (it won’t just be execs who took TARP funds).  Obama Lies about Health Care Reform (this is problematic; if this is so good and so right, why should Obama or Democrats have to lie about it?).  Mo Tells Rush, Every Republican he has met is a racist.  Miranda Rights for Terrorists?  What Obama Inherited (what he really inherited).  What Obama said; What Obama Did.

    In these first few regular columns, I try to offer up short and concise thoughts: This Week's Events (I try not to editorialize here). Quotes of the Week (these are either funny to me, ironic, or revealing).

    The Rush Section: The Rage of Sonia and Michelle (this is fascinating and something which I have observed in my own life; anger is used by them as a tool...it may be real and it may not be...but it is a tool which some minorities use).  Hannity Limbaugh Interview Transcript (this is excellent).  And several rants about the new media (filled with examples): State-Run Media.  News: It is good to be Unemployed under Obama.  The Media is out there to Mislead.  Some Minorities Use Anger and Rage.  State-run News to be More Positive

  • Conservative Review #77   5/31/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   One of the most important stories which I mention several times in this issue is the auto dealerships which are being closed down.  This potentially could be Obama’s Watergate.  His administration appears to be closing down Republican dealerships and keeping Democrat dealerships.  In America.  You need to read about this.  Sonia Sotomayor Quotes.  Rulings of Sonia Sotomayor.  Questions for Sonia Sotomayor.  Lawyers on Alito.  Lawyers on Sotomayor (this is pro and con).  My Opinion of Sotomayor (after all that you have read so far, you might be surprised).  Thomas Sowell on Sotomayor.  Krauthammer of Sotomayor.  Sotomayor Would not Qualify as Juror (and this is actually the most damning piece on Sotomayor; she would not be selected as a jury member)  by Andy McCarthy.  Funniest Result of Sotomayor Nomination.  6 Ways to Save America by Sean Hannity (unfortunately, I could only find 3 of them; and I do not agree with the education section). 

    The Rush Section: Laid Off in an Obama Economy.  Obama Election did not End Race or Class Warfare.  Returning Wealth to Rightful Owner (if you want to know one of Obama’s fundamental approaches to life).  Liberals Love Obama Because He Lies (they know that half of the time, he is lying in order to placate the right and the moderates).

  • Conservative Review #76   5/24/09   (HTML)   (PDF)  This is a rather large edition, as I have included the text of the speeches made by Barrack Obama, Dick Cheney and Michael Steele.  The Cheney Offensive (I did not write too much this week; there was just too much happening!).  Obama in Bush Clothing by Charles Krauthammer (Charles is always good).  Krauthammer Explains Iranian Thinking.  The NBC, GE Obama Connection by Bill O'Reilly (I mentioned this last time; but it is well worth reading).  War Between the Factor and the NY Times by Bill O'Reilly (Bill gets a bit irritated when the Times prints stuff about him which is false).  Investigating ACORN by Bill O'Reilly (Bill had a stellar week this week).  Reviewing Honda's New Low-Priced Hybrid by Jeremy Clarkson (this is hilarious!).  The Torture Argument by Richard O'Leary.  President Obama's May 21, 2009 Speech.  Dick Cheney's May 21, 2009 Speech.  Michael Steele's May 19, 2009 Speech.  Obama "We Are Out of Money" (I only wish he believed that).  Letter from a Dodge Dealer (excellent!).


    The Rush Section: Geithner Blames Us for Recession (really; so you had better start living within your means so this does not happen again!).  California is a Microcosm of What is to Come.  Chrysler Dealer Shut Down (this is just wrong).  The Left is Still Angry (Obama’s is president, they have the Congress; and they are still pissed off).  Obama, Café Standards and Oil.  Dem's Polling Data Says "Keep Gitmo Open" (so now they are voting against funding its closing).  What is Really Happening in the Economy.  Nuke Power for UAE, Windmills for US (it is okay for an oil rich country like the UAE to get help with nuclear power from us; but not okay for us).  Emission Standards to Kill More than Iraq War (really).  Converted Lib Thanks Rush.

    The Rush Section What is Cheney’s Motivation?  Why is Dick Cheney out there right now?  This stuff preserving his legacy is ridiculous.  The Obama Budget.  24% Understand Cap and Trade.  Obama’s Shovel-Ready Jobs.  Obama has Meetings and Fixes Health Care (Do you really buy into this?  Do you really think Obama can hold a couple of meetings with a few dozen people and health care is going to be fixed?).  White House Memo: CO2 not a Pollutant (this is fantastic).  Stimulus Bill Payouts (only 6% so far).  Cheney Gets Results (read this; see how much Obama has changed his points of view in the past week).  Your New Green House (what your house will look like in the future; if you can afford it).

  • 2Samuel 08 5/9/09 is finally completed after 3 months of work.  (HTML)   (PDF)  
  • Personal application: How can we determine if a war is just?  What ought we to do if our country is so far gone that we need to oppose it?  Can we actually turn against our own nation (despite Rom. 13)?  The Bible covers these topics.  And let me add that, a war that we choose to fight is probably more significant than a war which we are forced into fighting.
  • Textual criticism: there are several of the most difficult passages to explain in this chapter, and the errors in copying are quite dramatic, even though you will not find this particular problem alluded to on anti-Bible sites where they list what they believe to be contradictions.
  • Historical background material: Why are there two priesthoods?  Why is David fighting all of these wars?  Why does God focus on David rather than upon the high priests?  Why does God focus on David's actions rather than upon the function of the Tabernacle?  Why does God not allow David to build the Tabernacle?  How far did David's kingdom extend?
  • I should add that the links in 2Samuel 8 to Psalm 20, 60 and 1Chronicles 18 will be dead links for a few months until I complete the exegesis of those chapters.

  • An updated Old Testament Topics document has also been uploaded.  Although this does not contain as many direct links as I would like, this is one of the best documents to open up in your web browser and then to use your "Find in document" option (in the edit menu) to find virtually any topic I have ever covered.  (HTML)   (PDF)

  • 1Samuel files   4/27/09   In the 1Samuel exegesis, some of the graphics did not display correctly.  Also, at one time, I believed Abiathar the priest to be a very young man when he first came to David.  However, in examining 2Samuel 8 (which I should post within 2-3 weeks), it is apparent that Abiathar was old enough to marry about the time that he escaped Nob and put himself under David's protection (by the time we get to 2Samuel 8, Abiathar will have a son who is in the priesthood).  I made these corrections and uploaded about 10 chapters from 1Samuel.

    This week’s articles: Even though Obama chose to call off his dogs, there are still some things to be discussed when it comes to torture: Misdirection of the Torture Issue (the Obama team tries to control the media for a week, and what you don’t hear much about is what is important; in this article I tell you what really happened this past week).  Torture-Obama's Irrevocable Actions (Obama cannot take back what he did here).  Definition of Torture (this is a major problem; we need to get on the same page when it comes to what torture is; or discuss it so that we can get on the same page).  Tortured Errata (some miscellaneous comments).  48 Laws of Power (these are not mine; but they will remind you of someone.  Spankings Outlawed?  When I first heard about this story, last night, I was quite skeptical.  The John Murtha Airport (why conservatives despise big government).  Back on Uncle Sam's Plantation (so you get a Black point of view) by Star Parker - Syndicated Columnist.  Larry King goes after the Big Story (this passes for news?).  Homeland Security for Dummies (who could this story be about....?).  "Crossing the Border is not a Crime, per se" by Janet Napolitano (yes, she said it). 

    The Rush Section: Rush on Earth Day (always interesting to find out what Rush is doing on these special days).  The Emotional Cocoon of the Liberal (this gives a short succinct examination of what a liberal is).  Rush Confuses Obama.  Obama's Real Problem: Bush Kept us Safe (this is why those on the left are really angry).  Rush on Feinstein (why do we conservatives hate big government?  Here is another reason).  Tea Parties Open Some Eyes (new, young callers to Rush Limbaugh; comparing what the media said to what these young people actually saw and heard with their own eyes and ears).

    Stuff keeps happening every single week.  You cannot accuse Obama of just sitting on his behind.
  • Conservative Review #71   4/19/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   If you are a liberal, then I highly recommend that you read “Democratic Lack of Integrity” and “If you are a Democrat...”  If you are anti-Obama in all respects, please read, “Give Obama his Due.”  There is a lot of meat here today.  I hope you enjoy it.

    Give Obama his Due (when Obama does something right, there is no reason to disparage that).  Democratic Lack of Integrity (if you are a Democrat—particularly one who used to rail against Bush and forward anti-Bush emails—you need to read this).  News Coverage of the Tea Parties (what happened here amazed me; our newspapers and media outlets have drawn the lines; if the news agrees with their position, then they will tell you about it; if not, then it was not important).  NPR Coverage of the Tea Parties (we pay for NPR news; it comes out of our taxes—so how was their coverage?).  If you are a liberal....you need to read this article.  Right-Wing Extremists?  In case you were unaware, the Department of Homeland Security released a report about rightwing extremists, which includes me and about half of the people I know.  And the government is not afraid to use the word “terrorist” when describing me or those who believe what I believe.  Obama Ties Own Hands on Terror (the biggest mistake of the Obama administration so far) by Michael Hayden and Michael B. Mukasey.  More Health Care Myths by Devon Herrick (just in case you really think the government can do it better and more fairly).  Franken versus Coleman from the Wall Street Journal (the WSJ breaks through the hype and tells you what is really going on.  This is why their subscriptions continue to increase and most other newspapers are tanking).  Europe Likes Obama More by Josef Joffe (from the WSJ).


    The Rush Section: Two Rush rants on the tea parties: his comments on the day they happened and his comments the day after: Tea Parties-on the Day of and Rush Tea Party Retrospective.  Those Attending Tea Parties Talk to Rush (people inspired by their experience call up Rush.  Trump Talks Sense to Larry King (as if).  Gibbs on Tea Parties and DHS Report.

    I was a little late getting this out.  I had a lot to write about today.
  • The Doctrine of Predestination  4/16/09   (HTML)   (PDF)  Before I knew what a computer was, I wrote boxes and boxes of notes, and did some studies of various theological topics on my own.  I've decided that, when I am exhausted studying 2Samuel, that it might be easier to type up some of these studies (most are about 15-20 years old) and post them as well.  Most of these are going to be shorter and in less detail than most of my studies, making them more readable.
  • Conservative Review #70   4/12/09   (HTML)   (PDF)  Let me highly recommend: if you are interested in education—particularly in dealing with our problems in our schools, and you are looking for a part of the solution which is more than just throwing money at the problem (which was Bush’s mistake, Obama’s mistake and the problem with government in general).  Also, you have to read “Obama reaches out to the moderate pirates.”  It’s hilarious!  Under the Must watch Media, check out Neil Cavuto trying to talk sense to Leslie Marshall (who does not think the Tea Parties ought to be covered by our media).  And, if you did not see it, also check out the “Communist Colmes” video, which was the opening for the “Hannity” April 1 show.

    One Problem with our Schools (there are many....).  Obama Reaches out to the Moderate Pirates by Jon (great article).  Obama a Narcissist? by Ali Sina (this is interesting but perhaps a bit incendiary; you may not want to read it if you are a liberal).  

    The Rush Section: People Versus the Government (Kauai) (the alternative to government bailout money).  Clinton and Iran.  New York City Layoffs (not only are they raising taxes, but...).  Supply-Side Economics 101.  Rush Talks to the Children (Easter vacation and they kept calling and calling).

  • Conservative Review #69   4/5/09   (HTML)   (PDF)  

    Let me highly recommend the quotations this week, because, even though these were said, you probably have not seen them. Secondly, there is a new regular column--matching what someone says with what they do, called "Obama-Speak."  Finally, there are a couple of outstanding videos this time around. Also, help for you if your computer sometimes does not play YouTube postings.

    Don't Call a Democrat a Marxist (or a Socialist or a Fascist) (from Seth on Bill Bennet)(identify a Democrat as a Democrat, which means; more taxing, more spending, more government programs, more government involvement in everything, and a smaller military). Keller's 21 Reasons Recession is Almost Over (you might be surprised; remember that unemployment is not a leading indicator. Two sets of talking points by O’Reilly: Spain in the Talking Points and Is Obama Selling out America?

    The Rush Section: Somebody's Got to Think for the Masses (so, who thinks this way?). Journalism Student Interviews Rush (you realize that Rush’s name shows up in a variety of college classroom texts—and people are required to do reports on him). American Consumers Not Smart Enough to Spend Their own Money (who thinks this way?). Protestors are on Obama's Side—they ought not to be protesting; Obama agrees with man of them. Governor Paterson Glad Rush Moves out of NY (Rush does not live in NY).

  • Misdirection and Paranoid Thoughts—I am not a crazy conspiracy nut, but there are a lot of things which have my attention. The Spiritual Component—I believe that where we are as a country has a definite spiritual component. Domestic Terrorist Report 2009—I fond out that my anti-social cousin who like Ron Paul might be a domestic terrorist...this is a real report. Nothing about someone being a radical Islamic Nazi; nothing about someone being trained in a foreign country and then returning to the US; this is all about people with Libertarian stickers on their car who might own a gun. This is government at its finest. The Fed's Futile Move by Dick Morris (you need to read this!). The 7 Myths of Green Jobs—sounds good, but what is the reality? The Media's Top Ten Economic Myths 2008—the media, with one voice, espoused a lot of lies in 2008; these are the top 10.

    The Rush Section: In Defense of the Individual (read it or listen to it; if you are a liberal, this may help you to understand where we are coming from). Angry Mobs at AIG Exec Houses. Fannie/Freddie Decry Taxing of Bonuses (did you know about these?). Cramer Caves! This is a sad and/or scary story. Obama supporter turned on Obama, got flack from all sides, and now says, "Obama is on the right track." It as if his boss came to him and said, "If you want to keep your job, you need to eat crow, and this is what you need to say." Phoney AIG Scandal. What's a Retention Bonus? When Did Obama Know about the Bonuses? Just in case you have no idea what this is.

    Two new columns: Because of SNL’s political persuasion, they miss a great deal of the political humor which is out there: Saturday Night Live Misses. Second new column: some Democrats do good; when I hear about it, I will pass it on: Yay Democrats! What Does Obama Know about Economics? Is the fall of the market intentional? Does he not care? A Nation of Ingrates—we wanted hope and change, and we got it. Don’t look at the Stimulus bill; do not think about the pork-filled Omnibus; think about how divisive Rush Limbaugh is: Obama's Misdirection.

  • Moab and Ammon  3/3/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   There are 2 Moabites in Scripture: the mother of the Moabites and Ruth the Moabite.  Read this doctrine to see the difference in their thinking, which makes the difference in their lives.  If you do not know anything about these two countries, then this doctrine will tell you everything that you need to know, so that, when you read and/or study the OT, you will not draw a blank when reading about either country.
  • Conservative Review #64   3/1/09   (HTML)   (PDF)

    Allow me to make 3 strong recommendations: (1) What do you think of my marketing advice to the Republicans; we need to establish an honest brand. (2) Rush Limbaugh’s speech at the CPAC is a must-see for liberals, moderates and conservatives alike (you can skip Ron Paul’s and Ann Coulter’s this year). (3) The numbers which we are dealing with are far too large to understand. Read the article from WSJ, Who Pays for the Obama Agenda? The writer simply looks at how much will it cost to pay for what Obama and the Democratic Congress have done so far.

    Marketing Advice for the Republican Party (an email that I sent to Michael Steele and to Newt Gingrich). Who Pays for the Obama Agenda? Outstanding article from the WSJ. The Obama Translation by Kim of the WSJ (another great WSJ articles). The Special Report Fox Panel on Gitmo (listen to what kind of people are being kept their. THE WELFARE PSALM (taken from a site where I go to discuss theology now and again).

    The Rush Section: Censorship has Begun (several people have been saying that this is coming; it has just begun). Obama's Cruel Socialism (you think it is compassion; you are wrong). Under Obama, Unemployment Pays (I need to go on unemployment myself, after hearing this). Biden Plays Fast and Loose with the Facts (can you imagine if anyone else said this stuff?). All I Need is the Air that I Breathe (it will be taxed). A Judge Renegotiates your Mortgage (you signed a legal contract; judges now will be able to change the terms of that contract).

Obama Increases Homeless Spending Tenfold (I should add, that when people lose their house, they do not move out to the street; they rent a house). Slowly, the Revolution Begins (there are some anti-Obama demonstrations going on, and other sorts of rebellion; you just don’t hear about most of them).

  • Conservative Review #61   2/8/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   This time, I focused a great deal on the stimulus package.  First of all, however, I covered the Democratic Attack on Democracy and what their strategy is to be in control of Washington for a very long time (and you will see these things occur mostly over the next 2 years).  What is Stimulus?  A question worth asking.  What is in the Stimulus Package? I don’t have everything listed, but there are about 2 pages of the things which you may or may not realize is in the stimulus package, supposedly designed to stimulate our economy.  Investment During Inflation.  I could be wrong here, but I believe that Obama will pass his very Democratic stimulus bill with the least number of Republicans necessary.  This is going to cause great inflation over the next 5 or so years—possibly longer.  So, is there any investment strategy which is worthwhile?

    Rush was gone, but several of his recent interviews are available.  Hannity Interviews Rush.  Rush's Bipartisan Stimulus Plan (here, this is a rather antagonistic interview).  Rush on Fox and Friends.  Rush Speaking at Hillsdale College (a college which accepts no money from the government, including government scholarships and grants).

  • 1Chronicles 17  2/5/09   (HTML)   (PDF)   There are 3 chapters in the Bible which cover the Davidic Covenant in detail: 2Samuel 7, Psalm 89 and 1Chronicles 17.  Samuel is history recorded at the time that it occurred (probably written down by Samuel, David, and/or Nathan), and Chronicles was written after the 5th Cycle of Discipline had been applied to the Southern Kingdom (Judah) and after they had been returned to the land.  In general, Chronicles is the divine interpretation of Israel's history.  However, this is one of the chapters of Chronicles which is almost identical to 2Samuel 7.  There are a few new things which we examine in this chapter which we did not in 2Samuel 7: Why didn't God allow David to build the Temple and why didn't God push David to unite the Tabernacle and the Ark?  The near and far fulfillments of the Davidic Covenant are important, as the author/editor of Chronicles is writing this after the Davidic dynasty appeared to come to its end.  We examine progressive revelation and the Messiah.  In my lifetime, I have observed incredible full-frontal assaults on the divine institutions, so that is discussed in this chapter.  Finally, 2Samuel 7 and 1Chronicles 17 purport to be direct quotations from God and then from David.  How do we explain the differences between the texts, if these are direct quotations?  Therefore, we examine in depth the inconsistencies of the texts, the accuracy of textual transmission, textual criticism, and discuss, just how much can we trust the text of the Bible?  Finally, Psalm 89 and 1Chronicles 17 are the first texts where the Hebrew characters are properly reproduced in the HTML format.

    The Rush Section: Obama-Limbaugh Stimulus Plan (this is serious; have you heard of it?). Wall Street Execs and New York Tax Revenue (reduce the salaries and bonuses of Wall Street and this also reduces the New York revenue). Rush/Cantor Discuss Budget (the stimulus bill isn’t). Obama's War on Prosperity (remember Bush’s so-called war on science? The difference is, Obama is opposed to prosperity). Obama Wants Rush to Fail. Remember Nixon's Enemies List?

    I ended up working on Saturday instead of writing, so I did not write nearly as much as I usually do. However, the Dick Morris article is important for all liberals and conservatives alike. The Democratic Plan (really, just a preview of the Dick Morris article). BEWARE OBAMA'S TROJAN HORSE By Dick Morris And Eileen McCann. Who is in on This? Quite frankly, I need to work on this article. There are some very big players behind Obama. I suspect that the guy is George Soros. Stimulus Package or Pork? (An excellent article from the internet of what is in this stimulus package. The Liberal Press from Bill O'Reilly's Talking Points.

    The Rush Section: Rush on Green Bay Grammar School PA (I know I should not find this funny, but, for some reason, the sad looks on little children’s faces makes me laugh a little; maybe I became too jaded as a teacher?). The Press Confused about Obama (the saga continues). Rush on Morris on Obama on Socialism (this is more of the big picture; the big, and very scary, picture).

    Now is the Time to Get Rich—you will look back on these days as one of the best times in your life to make money. Is Fitzgerald any good? The press keeps telling me that he is aggressive, nonpartisan, and good; I don’t buy it. 60 Minutes on Foreclosures—a good show, but much of the story is not told. Click and Clack Favor Higher Taxes—I did not realize how political these guys were. Top 10 PC List for US Schools—it has been a fine year in our schools for politically correct behavior. Doctor's Opinion of the Bailout (you may have already seen this...). I Admit My Mistakes.

    Rush Section: The World's Largest Ponzi Scheme (social security). Rush Interviews VP Cheney (Rush excels at interviewing, in case you didn’t know). Rush Responds to Colin Powell. Powell, McCain and Blagojevich (how do we tie them altogether?). AP Calls Obama Inexperienced—oh, really? How the Left Gets Approve for More Taxes—yeah, we don’t really pay enough yet, do we? Drive-By's Start to Get Testy with Obama (adt). Obama: Our Schools Will Continue to Suck (one more thing the Messiah will not be able to fix).

  • The Angelic Conflict  December 16, 2008   HTML   PDF   I send out a basic Bible study, starting with an introduction to the Bible and working into the Book of Genesis (we are only a couple of verses into Genesis).  The Bible makes it clear that angels were created after the heavens and the earth, but before the earth was restored and before the creation of mankind.  It is also clear that, God judged Satan and the fallen angels, and passed sentence over them, yet this sentence has not been carried out.  Since man was created between the sentencing of Satan and the carrying out of this sentence, logically man is involved in the appeals process, which occurs between the sentencing and the carrying out of a sentence.  In this study, I suggest that there are a number of objections which Satan raised with respect to his sentence, and probably far more than those which I have suggested in this study.
  • In my exegetical study of Psalm 89, I had reason to examine the Edification Complex of the Soul.  December 16, 2008.  HTML   PDF   In this study, I suggest another floor and look at the ECS with respect to its man-ward and its God-ward exhales.  Logically, when there is doctrine in our souls, we exhale toward man and we exhale toward God.  Therefore, the Edification Complex Structure is going to be slightly different exhaling toward man and exhaling toward God.  I put down the initial concepts, but I am sure this will be improved upon.

    It is a shorter issue this week, and it took me longer to put it together.  Perhaps I am getting old?

    Obama "Meets the Press" Tom Brokaw did someting in this interview which I have never seen done before, and no one has said a word about it. Will this be the way other reviewers deal with Obama? Foreclosure Moratorium—why this is a stupid idea. Global Warming Update—I am still amazed as to how many of my friends still buy into this. How many severe winters will it take before they realize they have been duped? The Washington Atheists—if they are going to put up signage, then we get to too.

    The Rush Section: Remember Obama's Changing Stories? Don’t think this is going to stop just because he is presidential elect. He will keep floating and revising his story until he finds one which seems to work, and he goes with that. How long are we going to say, "Okay, that’s fine." Obama's vision for America—he does have ideas, and they are a little scary. How Did Michelle Obama Get Her Job? This is where corruphttp://kukis.org/blog/ConservativeReview53.htmt politics may rise up and bite Obama in the butt. Would You Buy a Car from Congress? Rush Has Been Fired too (one of these days, I will lisall the jobs I have been fired from as well).

  • Psalm 89 (added December 11, 2008)   (HTML)   (PDF)   (the PDF document is not uploaded yet, as I am having document problems).  This examination of Psalm 89 presents the fundamental key to this psalm, which, insofar as I know, has never been presented before.  What ought to occur to any exegete is, why is the Davidic Covenant presented in 2Sam. 7, 1Chron. 17, and in Psalm 89?  There is more to it than just the idea that, this is an important covenant.  What is amazing is, the psalmist pleads with God to fulfill this covenant to David, and, with the same words, presents Jesus Christ, the fulfillment of this covenant to David.  There are many places in the Bible where a set of words has 2 or more fulfillments or 2 or more meanings, but this psalmist pleads with God and expresses concern about the fulfillment of this covenant, and, with the very same words, gives the fulfillment of the covenant.  This is one of the most amazing passages that I have ever studied.  I have spent over half of the past 4 months exegeting this psalm and am still impressed as to the parallel thoughts of Ethan the author and God the Holy Spirit.

  • I have recently begun a new project.  I have always admired and appreciated the Thru the Bible series by J. Vernon McGee.  However, its chief weakness is his use of the King James Bible.  Two or three generations ago, this was acceptable; today, however, few people are comfortable with the Shakespearian language of the KJV, and, as a result, his wonderful 5 year series becomes less and less relevant to us, despite his outstanidng teaching (McGee was a genius when it comes to taking complex Biblical principles and explaining them in clear, plain language).  I've decided to put together a series of lessons which are not as thorough as most of my exegetical studies, but which cover specific books of the Bible.  I do not know how many books I will cover, and I certainly do not expect to be able to duplicate McGee's amazing feat of going through the entire Bible in 5 years.  However, what I have attempted to do is to develop of series of lessons, between 3-5 pages each, which introduce the Bible and exegete several books in the Bible.  At this point in time, I have no idea how far I will take this series.  I email out the new lesson each Wednesday and if you want to be on this email list, just contact me and let me know.  Meanwhile, I have just begun to post some of these lessons online.  General Introduction (PDF) (4 lessons); Introduction to the Bible (PDF) (14 lessons);   Introduction to the Book of Genesis (PDF) (3 lessons).  All of these introductory lessons are one document. 
  • At this moment, I am working on exegeting Psalm 89, as a part of my exegesis of the book of Samuel.  What I have just discovered is completely incredible: the psalmist asks a question and expresses deep concerns about the fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant, and then, the very words used in his question answer his question.  From a literary standpoint alone, the final third of this chapter in the Psalms is both amazing and a testament to the divine nature of God's Word.  My estimate is that I will complete the exegesis of this chapter sometime in late December and that the entire exegesis is going to run about 300 pages.

Democrat Jennifer Brunner Limits Oversight—Ohio Secretary of State does not care if voter registrations are legitimate? Obama: Record versus Rhetoric—Obama promises a lot; what has he actually done which squares with the gospel he is preaching? Obama's Campaign Funds ACORN—Obama has some close ties to ACORN, but the mainstream media is too busy with Joe the Plumber to investigate. ACORN and Voter Fraud. ACORN Links (this is an evil organization). False Liberal Agendas—we hear these things over and over again, and how good they are. McCain vs Obama-Round Three—as a McCain supporter, I am glad he finally did some good. Excellent moderator too, who got out of the way and let them spar a bit. Free Speech under Obama—hahahahaha. The Fairness Doctrine (what is it and is it fair?). More Ayers. Red Girl Rising on Obama and the Media (I just discovered Red Girl Rising; she seems to be writing more than I write). Will McCain Investigate FNMA? Don’t hold your breath. I suggest you harangue your local Congressman. Palin Crowd: Kill Him! Did someone really say this?

    The Rush Section: Most of these are about either the media and its misrepresentaion of Obama, or Obama lying about his own self (as we say here in Texas). AP Misrepresents its Own Poll. Rush on Brunner. The Media Attacks Joe the Plumber PT 1. Mainstream Media Trashes Joe. Is Obama an Elitist? Hillary Supporter Cheated by Obama? How the Electorate Makes its Decision (this is VERY sad!)

    The Rush Section: Rush's Take on the Bailout Plan.  Not much of TalkRadio liked this plan.  Rush was one of many who opposed it.  ACORN Pressured Banks to Make Bad Loans, which is part of the problem of these bad mortgages.  Dems Fight Against FNMA Regulations—plus, you can see them on video, saying, “No reason to regulate FNMA or FHLMC” when Bush pushed for it.  Few Reported Honestly on this Bail-out — this was quite sad, but our news reporting is dead; it is all spin now.  Who's to Blame Matters — if we want to deal with this problem, we ought to know who and what caused it.  Obama: Put out the fire first.

Community Reinvestment Act is part of the cause of the mortgage crisis.  Might be good for you to know a little bit more about it.

Quotes of the Week—great quotes from Obama, Palin and Fred Thompson. Vids of the Week—huge list this week...links to several RNC speeches, Obama on national defense, a campaign spot for the other female candidate that McCain could have picked. Predictions—lots this week. Observations of the Week—why our unemployment jumped. Missing Headlines—these should have been the headlines that you saw, but, I bet you didn’t. Palin has no Experience? This article actually deals more with the strategy and chess playing which McCain has done. Liberals and liberal media fell right into McCain’s trap. Why Do Feminists Hate Palin? My opinion here (of course). No one has ever thought that Palin was McCain’s way of picking up Clinton voters—if you think that was the plan, then you were blind sided and outsmarted by McCain. The Other Women and Palin—here is the other half of McCain’s strategy, and it required the media and liberals to go on a frenzy against Palin. Comparison of the Conventions—just a few glaring differences in these campaigns; did you notice these things as well. Katrina Version 2.0—remember how Katrina was a media story for months and month? Gustav and the response got about a day’s worth of attention this time. By the way, even Rush gave kudos to Mayor Nagin this time around. More Obama and Ayers—you have no idea what is about ready to break out in the news. Is Obama a Bad Man? Nope. My Mistaken Notion and My Shortcomings in Evaluating Palin—there are some things which I did not quite get in all of this. US Weekly Looks at Palin—in case you did not see how US Weekly treated Palin compared to Obama, it is egregious. Sarah's Friends/Obama's Friends—just where are Obama’s friends from the past making speeches on his behalf? Trooper-Gate—a short explanation as to what is going on. Obama and the Media Attacks on Palin—they fell right into McCain’s trap and The Media Screws Itself. More Proof of Media Bias—as if you need it. Slick Strategy—it is a chess game, and it requires judgment and looking ahead and seeing what your opponent is going to do.

    The Rush Section: Palin: Religious Fanatic, Global Warming Denier—undeniable proof of each. Obama Puts Clinton on Ticket?—You don’t think it is possible? McCain Speech-Rush Yells at him only once—maybe Rush is mellowing out? Palin Wants Alaska to Secede? Maybe you have heard about this. Caller Sees What Rush Does not—this is a brilliant observation. Obama Warns of Global Warming—I don’t know if you have noticed, but Obama has not spent much time dealing with global warming. Palin has him so punchy, that Obama is warning the yokels about it to give them more reasons to go to church and hug their guns.

    The Rush Section: Bo Snerdley Disses Michelle (Bo Snerdley is worth the price of admission). Carter Calls Obama a Black-Boy (really; what if McCain had said this?). Drive By's Want Gustav to Hit New Orleans (many of them don’t believe in God, but they are praying, nonetheless). The Speech Bill Clinton Wanted to Give.

Brilliant Suggestion to McCain—what to do for his RNC speech. 2nd Brilliant Suggestion to McCain: who should he pick for his running mate? You have not heard this name yet... Our Soldiers in Georgia—why are our soldiers in Georgia delivering aid? How did this effect a cease fire. New Obama Book—the book that came out last week had some inaccuracies.

We use 25% of the world’s energy). Raj in Houston Calls Rush—not a victim. I Have a Dream! What is the record of civil rights? Obama and Infanticide. The media moved on quite quickly after this.

Blacks are Inferior (according to liberal programs over the past 40 years). Corsi's Obama Nation—finally, the media wants to investigate someone’s background. Obama's Response to Corsi. Why Press Reveals Edwards Affair Now. Dick Durbin on the Oil Companies (this man has no concept of what a business is, how a business is run, or what free enterprise is all about).

    Obama and the Vet Hospital in Germany—who thinks this reveals good judgment?

    Obama's Qualifications—let me know if I missed any of his qualifications; I believe that I listed them all. 

    Speaking of Michelle Obama—I realize that by quoting Michelle Obama, that it can be seen as an attack on Obama’s wife...such a moral dilemma. 

    Criticism of Obama? One quick tally of what Obama tells us is out of bounds.

    Thomas Sowell on Subprime Lenders—I’ve been talking about this in previous issues, but Sowell nails this topic.

    Addendum to FHLMC and FNMA—the suff I forget to tell you about these guys.

    Obama, McCain and the NY Times—probably nothing new here...just access to Obama’s article, McCain’s article and the NY Times email explaining how McCain might get his article published.

    Props to Brokaw—I thought that he asked Al Gore some good questions.

    Iowa VS. New Orleans—you may have seen this.

  • An exegetical study of 1Chronicles 16 (5-12-08)   HTML   PDF   I have been working on this chapter since the beginning of this year.  I have had to exegete 3 or 4 psalms during this time (which are pertinent to 1Chorn. 16) and going to Chronicles represents a diversion from 2Samuel 6 (in the next few days, I will go back to chapter 7).  There is a lot of incredible material in 1Chron 16:  I have given very reasonable theories as to why the psalms found in 1Chron 16 do not match their counterparts word-for-word in the Psalms.  I have explained why we have the book of Chronicles, which appears to be a repetition now and again.  One item which has been ignored by commentators over the years: King David will actually choose the place where Jesus Christ will rule from during the Millennium.  The Ark is in Jerusalem and the Tabernacle is in Gibeon--I will explain why.  We are told exactly what foods David gave to the people--I will explain why this is meaningful.  How our lives are like an improvised jazz riff.  The idea that Jesus did not exist or was a fraud.  Some Muslims have gone past the point of natural affection.  God's Covenant to Abraham in the New Testament.  Sometimes, God gives us a preview of coming attractions in our lives.  Christian martyrs versus Muslim martyrs.  Most environmentalists do not worship God, but they worship His creation instead.  Why was Moses so disciplined for twice slamming the rock with his rod for the 2nd "no-water" incident.  Why David did not move the Tabernacle to Jerusalem.  The two High Priests.  This ended up being about 250 pages long.  Whew!

    I must admit, I went a little crazy this afternoon; there was so much good stuff this week, and since I was flat on my back for a few days, I'd get up, write, and then lay back down again.  There was a lot of classic Rush, although I could not find the quote where he said, "Obama, 278 days after promsing to, finally went on Chris Wallace's program for an interview.  By the way, 278 days--that's 2 years for you people in Rio Linda."

    Is Obama a liar?  There are only 3 options here...you make the call.

    The things Wright said that you did not hear before.

    Clinton actually does a standup job on the O'Reilly Factor.

    The wisdom of Pastor Hagee (compare this to Wright's statements).

    Why is Wright suddenly quiet?

    What about Wright's first speech this week on education?

    Why are scientists warning us about the cool weather about to come upon us?

    Out of touch politicians

    Can Democrats throw Obama under the bus?

    The ethanol debacle.

  • Conservative Review #22 (4/27/08)   HTML   PDF   (1) I give a complete review of Barack Obama, and what we know about him and what kinds of judgments we are able to make about him. This was written before Obama's latest speech, wherein he condemns his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright.  (2) I review the movie Expelled!  No Intelligence Allowed!  I provide a great many links, as this is one of the lowest-rated movies of all time by professional movie critics.  (3) Obama allows himself (finally) to be interviewed by Chris Wallace.  Obama is ready and comes off well.  (4) There is a movement afoot to put government in charge of as many things as possible.  There is a reason for this.  Before you surrender to government-run health care, read "Let Me Pull it All Together for You."  (5) Finally, just to prove that Rush is not an arm of the Republican party, he goes after McCain, big time.

  • Although I exegeted Psalm 95 about a decade ago, exegeting its companion psalm recently caused me to go back and rework this psalm.  HTML   PDF   There are a number of important doctrines and studies in this psalm.  First of all, it is important to note that the key to this psalm is either positive or negative volition after salvation, and we see both sides of this coin here.  Some areas of interest might be (1) speculation versus dogmatism; (2) If God owns the earth, what right do we have to claim this or that plot of ground?  (3) the proper posture in worship; (4) covenant theology both challenges the faithfulness and veracity of God as well promotes legalism; (5) how could both of the exodus generations fail, but one goes into the land?  And (6) how God's promises to Israel parallel the promises made to us for time and eternity.
  • Conservative Review #16: 3/16/08   HTML   PDF   There are two primary topics covered in this issue: Barack Obama presents himself as a man of excellent judgment and he will be meeting with all of the enemies of the United States, presumably because he is so smart, so perceptive and so able to move someone over to buckle to US demands with words.  If he is this smart, how is it possible that Obama sat under a racist Black, separatist pastor, and yet, never had a clue?  Does this show good judgment?  Does this show human insight?  The second point is, the Democratic party cannot seem to run a sensible primary--the Democratic primary is insane, convoluted, and the super-delegates can overrule the people...now, these same people who cannot organize a simpe primary think that they are capable of running our health care system, something which is infinitely more complex.  Does this make even a little sense?

  • 2/23/08  Psalm 96   HTML   PDF  This psalm both names Jesus by name and speaks of the earth's circular orbit (yes, I know the earth actually has an elliptical orbit).  This is an amazing psalm.  Also, with this psalm, because of the new version of WP (X4) and Windows Vista, most of the Hebrew characters are now accurately represented in the HTML documents (which should interest all of about 2 people).  This is not retroactive, however, and all older documents will continue to accurately represent the Hebrew and graphics in the PDF documents, but not so much in the HTML docs.  I did some minor updates on this psalm 2/25/08, to better explain how we find the name Jesus in Psalm 96.  I also found out that Jesus being the Greek equivalent to Joshua is actually up for discussion.  I went back and covered this particular issue letter by letter, so that there is no mistaking that our Lord's name in this Psalm.
  • 2/21/08  The word intercalation means insertion.  Theologically, this refers to where the Church Age is inserted between the advents of Jesus Christ.  The Old Testament does not predict the Church Age, but the Old Testament has the 1st and 2nd Advents of Jesus Christ, between which we know to insert the Church Age.  The Doctrine of Intercalation is updated slightly, almost doubling the number of passages where the 1st and 2nd Advents of Jesus Christ are found in Old Testament Scripture.  HTML   PDF   I put this doctrine together primarily because I could not find it represented properly on the Internet.

B. Thieme Jr.'s teaching; the thoughts of men die with them; the plans of man and the constitution of the United States; the importance of the body; abortion (with links to Robby Dean's teaching on this topic); the rarity of water in this universe; the first recorded instance of Global Warming is found in the Bible; welfare and God's plan; why most Christians are failures; and criminals, jailhouse ministries and God's Word.  Also, this is where I decided I needed to post the Doctrine of Intercalation.

  • I just re-worked Psalm 105; the process took me 2.5 months and the exegesis is 240 pages long.  The updated version has a lot more information than did the previous version.  One of the striking features of this psalm is just how complex the organization is.  The psalm seems simple to read, but the outline is quite fascinating.  A point of interest to some is the spiritual life of Israel; this psalm lists 7 commands of the spiritual life in the Age of Israel.  The Catholic Church often gets a bum rap for somehow getting a hold of the early Scriptures and making untold numbers of changes to them early on; this is completely false and covered in this study. Other important topics in this study: your memory is a part of your spiritual life; the exclusivity of the God of the Jews; the Problems of Covenant Theology; Jacob versus Israel; every word of every contract made by God with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the exact travels of Abraham and the other patriarchs; the amazing parallels between Joseph and Jesus (as type and antitype); the problem of pain; hints to parents; people tend to mistakenly believe that the Bible is filled with miracles and that, every time you walk into a church, you ought to expect a miracle; thus just is not true--see the time periods of miracles; God turning the Egyptians against His Own people; What About Reparations?; I have developed an hypothesis about God hardening Pharaoh's heart (I am not quite ready to commit to it yet); the meaning of the two "no-water" incidents in the desert wilderness; and, finally, just how accurate are the Old Testament manuscripts?  Quite frankly, I am pretty happy with the end results of the commentary of this psalm and highly recommend it.    HTML   PDF

  • Serious Old Testament textual problems.  Surely there are more than I have listed here; however, these are the only ones I have found after 12 years of studying the OT.  HTML   PDF 
  • The Doctrine of Manna   HTML   PDF, which is a part of Psalm 105 and something which I should have done back when I did the exegesis of Exodus.  An abbreviated version of this is now found in the book of Exodus   HTML   PDF.  There are a few minor updates in my still woefully incomplete Genesis.  HTML   PDF 
  • Many years ago, when I attended a Baptist church, a guest speaker give us an outline of the Old Testament in about 45 minutes.  I took notes and kept these notes with my primary Bible for the next 30 years.  I have reproduced that chart, and it is helpful to those of you who know there is an Old Testament, but you don't know much beyond that.  Old Testament Summary:  HTML   PDF 
  • 10/18/07: I have not added anything for awhile.  I have taken a few trips out of town, and when I do that, I work on the basic exegesis, which requires another 2-4 weeks worth of work to complete.  So, I have about 6 psalms in the hopper, so to speak, which I am working on, all which related to 1Samuel 5 and 1Chronicles 16. However, i have added a set of notes, many of which were not posted here before.  I have a new page of notes found here.
  • 8/28/07: I have done some minor updating on 1Samual 4 and 1Samuel 5, adding a bit of commentary to both.  I have also fixed the graphics for most of the Samuel series.  I've also updated the Old Testament Topics.
  • 8/24/07: You will obviously note that I have not posted anything new for awhile.  I have spent the last 3 months working on Psalm 68 (HTML   PDF), which is practically the most difficult chapter of the Bible that I have ever exegeted (which includes the chapters of Job that I have done so far).  There were two verses for which I could form almost no explanation; and there were a half dozen verses which I half-explained, but not to my own standards.  However, despite this, I feel as though this has been some of my most productive work to date.  Here are some of the topics which I covered:
    • Although I heard a lot of weird theories about the occasion for this psalm, I was able to nail that down with little trouble (comparatively speaking).
    • Just who is Mary (the mother of Jesus) and why isn't she just a little bit better than all of us?  The Catholic view of Mary taken out to its logical conclusion.
    • Freedom, war, our involvement in Vietnam, Iraq; science and women's choices.
    • The Lake of Fire; can this really be justified to our human minds?
    • The inconvenient locations of Wal-mart in the ancient world.
    • Quite frankly, there are some verses in the Bible that we will never understand...what does that mean?  Did God screw up?  How should we deal with the idea that some portions of Scripture are truly inscrutable.
    • Why are there 4 gospels?
    • Why do we need to be strong?  Why does God want us to grow up spiritually?  Isn't the man who can just sit on a park bench and wait for God to take care of him--isn't he the picture of a great, mature faith?  What is spiritual growth all about?
    • Why did God choose Solomon to build the Temple; why didn't God choose David, as it was in David's mind to build a Temple to God?
    • Why do we praise God?
    • What is the significance of the ancient heavens?
    • Can any scientist fully comprehend anything, no matter how narrow his field?
    • God's relationship with the Jew.  Arabic hatred for Jews. 
    • What happened with the Conservative party in the US when we abandoned anti-Semitism.
    • So, as you see, despite the fact that I fought tooth and nail with this psalm, I got so much out of it and felt that portions of this psalm reflect my best work (although, taken as a whole, this psalm may tend to be very ponderous).
  • 6/5/2007: I have extensively examined a dozen or so Hebrew words in great detail.  In some cases, I have spent 5-10 pages examining a single Hebrew word.  Admittedly, even though there are some very important theological points sprinkled throughout, these studies are going to have limited appeal.  The Links to these Specific Hebrew words:  HTML   PDF  
  • 5-29-2007: My suggestion for immigration reform; you are welcome to copy and paste and send it  along to your congressmen (I've sent it to mine) or to those on your email list.  HTML   As an update, at least one of my proposals is a part of legislation before Congress (although, as far as I know, it was original with me; however, no doubt, others had the same ideas as well)
  • 5-19-2007: Psalm 47.   God is presented as Sovereign over all the world, something which is clear in Old Testament Scripture.  This psalm was possibly sung when the Ark was transported into Jerusalem, and speaks of our Lord's 2nd Advent.  There are some fascinating parallels between this psalm and the history of Israel and between this psalm and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.    HTML   PDF  
  • 5-1-2007: Psalm 12.  Here's what I suggest; read this psalm; particularly v. 6.  So, what is an earthen furnace?  The key to this verse is ellipsis and the key to the psalm is organization.  Once you understand that, everything will hold together and make sense.  By the way, this is one of the most up-to-date portions of Scripture; this deals with the internet and the political left and their present-day tactics.  HTML   PDF 
  • 4-28-2007: I am presently working on Psalm 12; however, I came upon the fact that the words the poor and the needy occur together in Scripture over 30 times.  I felt that should be investigated.  The Doctrine of the Poor and Needy (which is not the same as The Doctrine of the Poor) is found here:   HTML   PDF  
  • 4-13-2007: A book report, so to speak of Lubenow's Bones of Contention.  I summarize a few chapters and some of his best arguments.  This is no substitute for the book, which I recommend highly to those who are interested in this topic.  HTML   PDF  
  • Psalm 46   HTML   PDF   I originally began this study, hoping to tie this psalm to the moving of the Ark by David into Jerusalem (there is one word found in the inscription which is only found in one other chapter of Scripture: 1Chronicles 15).  After working on the psalm for about a week, it became apparent that such an interpretation was unwarranted.   It is more likely that this psalm should be placed when Sennacharib first attempted to invade Judah by intimidating the Jewish people.  I completed this exegesis, even though it was unrelated to where I am in the books of Samuel and Chronicles.  I did not want to leave this psalm half-done.  This, along with other events, helped to solidify my thoughts expressed above in War and the Believer.  (4/12/07)
  • War and the Believer   HTML   PDF   There is a quick and easy way to examine any war, such as our war in Iraq, and determine if we are justified in God's eyes to be at war there.  Pastor Kennedy has a good link on War as well.
  • I have recently added a page devoted to creation versus evolution; although I only have a few articles posted there, it is well worth checking out (for those who are interested in this particular topic). 
  • Psalm 24   (HTML)   (PDF)   This short psalm was probably written by David specifically for the carrying in the Ark into Jerusalem.   Although the Bible is not a scientific book, it makes a few statements which were pretty amazing to have been written by a shepherd-king 3000 years ago.
  • 2Samuel 5   HTML   PDF
  • 2Samuel 6   HTML   PDF
  • Confusing and/or Objectionable Passages of Scripture  HTML   PDF: as a part of the exegesis of 1Chronicles 13 (a work still in progress), there are a number of prominent passages in the Old Testament which are confusing to the unbeliever or to the new believer.  In 2Samuel 6 and 1Chronicles 13, Uzzah, a Levite who has been taking care of the Ark for several years, reaches out to steady the Ark when it appears that it might fall out of the cart in which it is being carried, and God strikes him dead right there on the spot.  I mean, come on, isn't this a little harsh?  There is nothing to suggest that this thing which Uzzah did was any more than a natural reflex--God should kill him for that?  This, and several other passages, are discussed and explained, so that you might better understand and appreciate what God does.
  • 1Chronicles 13   (HTML)   (PDF)  You might think that, having studies 2Samuel 6 that its parallel passage in Chronicles is unnecessary; think again.
  • Why are there 4 Gospels?   (HTML)   (PDF)  Why didn't God the Holy Spirit simply include everthing that we need to know about Jesus Christ in one gospel?
  • One of the things which has bothered me for a long time is, why did God have Joshua and the Jewish military walk around Jericho for 6 days bearing the Ark of God?  Furthermore, why did God demand that Jericho be burned with fire?  While studying this morning, it came to me, and I have included these points in an old examination of Joshua 6   (PDF version).
  • 1Chronicles 14   (HTML)   (PDF).  Given all the anti-war protests which have recently occurred, and given that this is a study of David at war with the Philistines (among other things), it is worthwhile to examine the exegetical study, particularly those sections which deal directly with the believer whose country is at war.  It is always interesting when those who tend to be anti-God are marching in these peace marches (not all of them, of course), and the Christian right are seen as the war mongers (which confuses the left, because they recall that Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers").  Given all of this, you may find this to be an interesting set of points.  Less topical, but every bit as important are the two questions: (1) Why is 1Chron. 14 placed here, in between the two attempts to move the Ark; and (2) why is 1Chron. 14 here at all?  That is, there is essentially one verse found here which is not found in 2Sam. 5; so what is the reason for the repetition?
  • Polygamy: there are several doctrines from the Pentateuch which I have not gotten around to doing; however, after coming across pertinent passages in Judges, Samuel and Chronicles, I figured it was time.   (HTML)   (PDF)
  • 1Chronicles 15   (HTML)   (PDF)   Although covered in just one chapter in 2Samuel, the writer/editor of Chronicles devotes 3 chapters to David moving the Ark of God.  1Chron. 13 deals with the unsuccessful attempt to move the Ark; 1Chron. 14 covers the successful transport of the Ark from Obed-edom's home to Jerusalem; and 1Chron. 16 will cover the celebration which takes place after the Ark is placed in its tent in Jerusalem.  At the end of 1Chron. 15, I will cover Psalms 24, 46, 12, 8 and 68 (in that order).  Whether or not these psalms were a part of the celebratory movement of the Ark, is unknonwn.  However, given that several psalms are alluded to in 1Chron. 16, and given that there were many musicians involved in the transport of the Ark, it is reasonable to suppose that psalms were sung while the Ark was moving.  It is possible that these psalms were sung during this time.
  • Surprisingly (at least, two me), two of the doctrines which seem to get the most hits are the Ark of the Covenant  (HTML)  (PDF) and the Doctrine of Fasting  (HTML)  (PDF).  Therefore, I have updated these doctrines somewhat.   As is often the case, the PDF version of the Arc of the Covenant may not display on your computer, as it is a fairly large document; in that case, you will need to save it to your harddrive and view it from there.
