That’s the question that is percolating a lot in the media even though it seems premature due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas War. But trying to answer this question could lead to a ceasefire and perhaps some sort of negotiation. This war is causing results that make my proposal for solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict look increasingly more viable. It is contained in my book published 33 years ago and entitled Palestine Is Coming: The Revival of Ancient Philistia. Here is my... Read more
My next book is just about ready for publication. It is entitled The Gospel Corrupted: When Jesus Was Made God. It is a very easy read of about 100 pages. It is about how church fathers changed the gospel and thereby corrupted it. I’ve planned this new book as a primer for my book, The Restitution: Biblical Proof Jesus Is NOT God. It is now available at amazon.com. It is 570 pages and cites the writings of over 400 scholars.... Read more
Three weeks ago I attended a conference in Houston at the Lanier Theological Library. I blogged about it soon afterwards, relating how Dr. John Lennox of Oxford University was the main speaker and that he delivered two lectures mostly about in artificial intelligence, but also on transhumanism and end times biblical prophecies. Dr. Gary Habermas of Liberty University was also a speaker there the first day among a panel of four people that included Dr. Lennox. During that... Read more
I believe the U.S. should now announce that it favors the creation of a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip after this Israel-Hamas War there is finished. But it would only be the beginning of a Palestinian state that later would receive added territory. On Wednesday, both U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Council and White House spokesman John Kirby made very significant statements about the future of the Gaza Strip that represent a significant and...

U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is in Tokyo this week meeting with the Group of Seven, which are the largest financial-industrial nations in the world. Besides financial matters, they probably are discussing ongoing conflicts in the world as well. Due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas War in the Palestinian Gaza Strip, Blinken made some statements today which I think could become very profound regarding the future of the Gaza Strip in that they may lead to the development...

I’ve been saying this for perhaps forty years now. The modern State of Israel exists on the sole foundation of its two-page Proclamation of Independence since it does not have a constitution like the U.S. does. This document declares that Jews have a “right” to “the Land of Israel,” “Eretz Yisrael,” which it defines as “their ancestral land.” But it was obvious that this document, which immediately ignited Israel’s War of Independence (1948-1949), could not achieve that result due to...

It doesn’t look like it to me. The main reason may be international public opinion. Hamas started this war by invading Israel and killing 1,400 Jews–mostly civilians and some soldiers. Then they captured about 230 hostages and took them back to Gaza. These hostages supposedly are being kept in the massive, underground, tunnel network that Hamas has created, mostly in northern Gaza. These combined tunnels are about 300 miles in length. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel... Read more
The current Israel-Gaza War is threatening to spread in the region. Israel is pummeling Gaza City with bombs, resulting in many thousands of civilians reportedly being killed, including thousands of children. Israel is determined to uproot the governing Hamas, which the U.S. and other nations designate as “a terrorist organization,” so that it can never govern the Gaza Strip anymore. Hamas started this war on October 7th when, in about 24 hours, its armed invaders entered Israel, killed about 1,400... Read more
Yesterday, the Republican-dominated US House of Representatives elected its party member Mike Johnson, a 51-year old lawyer from Louisiana, as its Speaker of the House. Johnson is a strong evangelical Christian. He and his wife, who have four children together, have a podcast in which they broadcast their religious and political views. It includes Christian Zionism. So, Johnson has made it clear that US financial and military aid to Israel is a top priority for him. My book, Palestine Is... Read more
My friend David Capes of Houston, Texas, has been trying to get me to attend a lecture series at The Lanier Theological Library, where he is the director. I finally did. Thanks, David. It is located quite close to Champions Golf Club, where I have played many a round of golf, including many times in the PGA Tour’s Houston Open and once in the U.S. Open. So, last weekend I attended a lecture series in my old hometown of Houston,... Read more
