Luke 2

1And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with...

Further guidelines for those who comment...

I delete anything that makes reference to me without using my correct name. This includes "Raymondo" and even "Raymond" (my mother is the only one that uses that name).

I delete untrue comments such as "Ray is a liar and he's admitted it," or references to crimes that I have supposedly committed, or any reference to a well-known creationist (and friend) who is in prison for not paying taxes. I do that out of respect for him and especially for his family.

I deleted one comment this morning tha...

If You Weren't Such a Coward

"Ray, if you weren't such a coward, you wouldn't have comments held back until they are approved in the first place. It's a common thread among creationists. Whether it be blocking comments and responses or screening them as you do, creationists always need preemptive damage control lest they suffer a nonstop barrage of truth. In public, no less!"

Dear (I would put your real name, but you didn't give it), don't entertain the thought for a moment that I'm afraid of truth. That's not the reason...

Free On the Origin of Species book

The same gentleman who kindly made it possible for atheists to be sent a free copy of On the Origin of Species has increased the amount, so that more can be sent overseas.

So if you are an atheist, you live outside of the United States, and you would like a copy, please format your name and address in 3-4 lines, with caps and lower case and send it to: originforatheists@livingwaters.comFor Evangelism Resources, please visit LivingWaters.com.

The Great Paradox

"When God kills someone, that's holy and good. And when he orders someone killed, that's also holy and good. And when he alters hearts so that he can use someone as an example, that's holy and good too. Because God is holy and good he can be as evil as he likes because it's holy and good."

It amazing to me that an atheist will use the word "evil" when it suits him, even if it's just in sarcasm. In reality he has no definition of the word. Evil cannot exist. Neither can good. Those who would ar...

"Ray, are you afraid of dying?"

This is perhaps the shortest of questions I've been asked, but I will probably give it one of my longest answers, because it's a question with which every sane person wrestles. So I will be thoughtful and very candid with my answer.

The quick response is "Yes, I am fearful," and "No, I'm not." I am not afraid of dying, but I am afraid of the process of dying (as I have noted that a number of atheists have also said).

Tomorrow is December 5th. That's when I turn ...

Free Origins book

I have noticed that quite a few atheists have wanted a copy of On the Origin of Species (for a collector's item). Someone has kindly donated money to make it possible for the first 200 atheists who request a book. If you would like a free copy, send us your name and address, formatting it as you would address an envelope--in three or four lines, caps and lower case. This will speed up the process. Please state if you would like the book signed.

Cornered Tiger

Tiger Woods was recently caught in what he called "transgressions." That's a direct reference to the Law of God (specifically the Seventh of the Ten Commandments).

Sin has a way of catching up on us. It snaps at our heels like a hungry piranha. It may not catch us in this life, but it will certainly catch us at the next. It demands justified "wages" (see Romans 6:23), and on Judgment Day there will be Hell to pay.

It's my earnest prayer that Tiger finds complete forgiveness at the cross. As ...

"Mistakes" in the Bible

"Ray, In light of the following verses: 1 Chronicles 16:30: 'He has fixed the earth firm, immovable.' Psalm 93:1: 'Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ...' Psalm 96:10: 'He has fixed the earth firm, immovable ...' Psalm 104:5: 'Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken.' Isaiah 45:18: '...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast...' Are you willing to admit the Bible is in error, or does the earth in fact sit immobile and fixed...
