There have been several news articles about various heads of state visiting the Pope earlier in the month. I’m surprised I haven’t seen more Church of God blogs and commentaries say something about this. Isn’t it interesting that in spite of the lesser popularity of the current Pope in contrast…
It has been a long time since I’ve been shocked by anything on the Internet. Vegan condoms pretty say it all. Welcome to the age of the extreme extremists! Anything to devalue humans to be lower than the animals is welcome! Meanwhile, I also ran across an extremist atheist site…
Fans of Star Trek probably know that Gene Rodenberry’s futuristic view of the galaxy was that societies would run on a credit system. This fictitious system would eliminate the need for paper money and coins. Transactions would be done via centralized computer. Well, banks and credit unions in Australia are…
The Church of God has long understood the modern identities of Ephraim and Manasseh as Great Britain and the United States. There are some smaller groups which say it is reversed, but the majority go with the traditional view. Ephraim was to become a “company of nations” similar to a…
James Quinn at The Cutting Edge wrote a piece on 30 March 2009 called “America Once Ruled the World–The Last Bubble is Bursting”, since republished as “When America Ruled the World (Part 1)“. It pretty much summed up this financial mess and compared the bursting of the bubble to the…

In “Bone fragments confirmed to be Saint Paul”, the Telegraph reported on 29 June 2009 that “scientific tests confirmed shards found in the underground chamber … were from the apostle.” It makes you wonder. Did they have some DNA of his laying around to compare with? No, just purple linen…
COGWriter’s Robert Thiel posted “PCG on Obama and Iran” on 24 June 2009. He reports about a theTrumpet.com article that Gerald Flurry published on 22 June about Iran.
