It was dark when John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn and sister-in-law Lauren took off from the Essex County airport in New Jersey headed for Martha’s Vineyard on July 16, 1999.  Weather conditions were poor.  Although other pilots had cancelled their flight plans, Kennedy insisted on flying even though he was not instrument qualified. As he flew into the haze hugging the Atlantic ocean, there were no lights to see along the shoreline, there were no stars overhead.  Even …

I was standing in front of the Phoenix Public Library promoting my upcoming Truth Based Thinking seminar, when a man walked up to me and asked a question. “Do you believe in gay marriage?” he asked.  I explained that I didn’t. “Who do you think you are standing here pretending you understand what TRUTH is?  All you’re doing is perpetrating lies.  I would never come to your seminar.”  he said as he stomped off leaving me to wonder what had …

In my article Two Kinds of Truth we discovered that absolute truths make great reference points for our lives, we also recognize that man does not create truth, he only discovers it.  Therefore, the question arises, “Who or what created truth?  Does God exist?” To answer these questions I will use the Truth Finding Method also discussed in Two Kinds of Truth.  Once again that Method is: Objective Evidence + Real Faith = Truth The Truth Finding Method is used …

In the last article, I proposed the question, “Is the Designer trying to find man?”. If he is, we can immediately rule out religion. Why? Because religion is all about “man’s efforts toward God”, an idea dispelled in my article, Transcendent Truth. Man can’t find God. But he’ll try. He’ll set up rules and expect himself and others to meet those rules so that he/they can “find God”. But it just doesn’t work. So where do we look? Like an …

In this article we will consider the question, “How does the Designer transfer His unlimited nature to man?” This is where I left off from my last article entitled, “Is The Designer Trying to Find Man?”.  We had been considering the Bible’s explanation as to the origins of man, his fallen condition and God’s plan to restore him. We had seen that God needed to deal with the fallen nature of man.  To do this, He created a NEW NATURE …

You will remember we have been using the Truth Finding Method to answer the question “Who or what created truth?  Does God exist?” The Truth Finding Method has 3 steps, they are: There must be objective evidence. There must be action. The definition for “real faith” is objective evidence in ACTION. It must work. Truth is borne out, only if it WORKS. In formula form the Truth Finding Method looks like this: Objective Evidence + Real Faith = Truth STEP …

In our last article, “God’s Method for Giving Us a New Nature” we saw that God gives man a new theocentric nature in order to be the CENTER of his life. But why does God want to be the center of man’s life? God wants to be the center of man’s life so that He can reestablish COMMUNICATION with him.  We understand how this works and why it is necessary when we look at the composition of man. The Bible …

In the last article, “Why God Gives Man a New Nature”, I showed you how God restored your fallen spirit and gave you spiritual eyes to see a new you in heaven.  But on earth you probably still see yourself as the same.  The purpose of this article is to show you how you can get who you are in heaven to who you are on earth, thereby transforming your soul (mind, will and emotions). Making the transfer is really …

In previous articles, we’ve seen that when God births us into His Heavenly Kingdom, we appear there bearing His nature— we are perfect.  We’ve also seen, that it’s God’s purpose to bring who we are in heaven (a justified spirit), to who we are on earth (a fallen soul), through a process called sanctification. His ability to do this in us depends on how we deal with 3 major obstacles that stand in our way. They are: How we deal …

In previous articles we’ve seen that God wants to transfer who we are in heaven (a justified spirit) to who we are on earth (a fallen soul).  This process is called sanctification.  There are three obstacles that keep this from happening.  They are: How we deal with sin. How we deal with natural information. How we deal with the Devil. In our last article we discussed how to deal with sin.  In this article, we’ll discuss how to deal with …
