The Woman Caught In Adultery and Why It Matters

I know this story is very much disputed as a later addition to John's gospel and based on oral tradition, HOWEVER, the story remains consistent with Jesus's character and actions throughout The Bible and I think there is enough precedent to discuss this and I feel like discussing it today, so let's dive in;

Tongues: Revisited

So, about this time last year, I was confronted with the topic of tongues once again, this time from a church my brother took me to, which declared that tongues were evidence that one was saved, and if you never spoke in tongues, then that was conclusive proof that you were not saved. Of course, I informed my brother that they were heretics and not to be listened to, BUT the discussion I had with them was nonetheless illuminating and worth discussing the topic of tongues again. So here we go;

Responding To Parker

So Charlie Kirk, a Conservative commentator and Christian did a video with Jubilee (sadly not the X-Men character or anyone in cosplay) where the main topic being debated was whether or not college was a scam. Charlie held his own very well until a smarmy young man named Parker approached the mound and decided to hurl curveball after curveball at Charlie. What was the curveball? Parker claimed that religion was likewise a scam and proceeded to make a transphobic argument against Charlie; and as much as I like Charlie, he struck out several times here and I'm here to explain what should have been said to answer Parker's objection. Now, full disclosure I did not watch the entire Jubilee clip because there's only so much I can take of people like Parker, not hating on the guy just when they're so smug and have no clue what they're talking about but act as if they do it really grinds my gears. Let's dive in.

Reflecting The Book Of Jonah

So a while back I was watching a video about an Atheist talking about certain verses that caused her to question her faith, and I may do a response article to that in the future but while I was watching the video I was thinking about The Book Of Jonah and how real the book is to humanity. What do I mean? Let's discuss;

Jesus IS God and Here's Why

So all too often I hear Muslims and various people make the claim that Jesus never claimed to be God or that Jesus never said "I am God, worship me." while they're right about those words never appearing in The Bible they are horribly wrong.  This confusion largely stems from the use of the words "Son" of God, as The Jehova's Witnesses believe Jesus is a son in a literal sense, a god with a little "G" as in a separate being from God Himself (they also believe He's Michael the arch angel but that's a whole other can of worms that I won't get into here.) and so when people see or hear the word "son" they instantly think of "offspring". I'm writing this article because I spoke at my church a while back on this topic and decided I'd write a proper article demonstrating that Jesus Christ is in fact God Himself. Let's dive in;

Death Note, The Christian Anime?

Here's an article that I never thought I'd write and yet here it is. We're talking about the anime "Death Note", "But, Ugo isn't this a Christian blog? Why are you talking about anime?" you might be asking. Why? I'll tell you why; because "Death Note" is a very Christian anime.  How so? Well for those of you who don't know "Death Note" tells the story of Light Yagami, a Japanese high school student who finds the eponymous Death Note dropped by a Shinigami (Japanese Death God) and uses it to cleanse the world, only to find himself in a cat and mouse game against the world's greatest detective. "Ugo, Japanese death gods? This doesn't sound very Christian." Oh trust me, it is. How? Let's dive in;

Who Told You...?

Hey all, been a minute, I know. But I decided to write this article after a discussion I had with my wife a while back. I was talking to her about Genesis and I realized that the first question God ever asked was "Who told you that you were naked?" and I wondered why this was the first question God ever asked and why He asked this question. Let's dive in;
