We were created in the image of God (Gen. 1:26); however, when you look around the neighbor and read about what's going on in the world, one has to ask themselves, what's gone wrong here? Let me see now. The last I checked, God, the...
You Da Man! -
by
Ernie Fitzpatrick
Yeah, I know, it's not good English, but then neither is it good theological reasoning regarding Jesus when you're around a fundamentalist. I'm amazed at how so many religious traditions got started, much less retained such longevity. Mary was an incredible mother. How many women...
The Devil Made Me Do It! -
by

One of those strange conundrums is how we have been created in the image of God and yet the devil is acclaimed to have so much power over humanity that it's cosmic battle of epic proportions, with the victory somehow in doubt, but not really....

Have you ever laid back on a swing on any autumn day (maybe like today) when there was low humidity, a slight breeze, moderate temperatures, and contemplated the universe? Staring at the clear blue sky through wondrous leaves of fractal geometry asking yourself, "what's this...

I grew up around and in military. For five years we lived across from Gate # 2 of Camp Crowder in far Southwest Missouri. I had a paper route on the base, I hung out with the MP's at the gate, and I collected various...
A Band Of Brothers -

Ernie Fitzpatrick
It's a fascinating tale of comradeship that is, in the end, a tale of ordinary men who did extraordinary things. The story of "E" Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division from their initial training starting in 1942 to the end of World...
Christianity : A Box Of Chocolates! -
by
Ernie Fitzpatrick
One of the frequent questions that I have been asked in the past several years is, "What's a Christian?" A decade ago I would have looked at that person like it was a joke, or not knowing the person, it was because they were LOST...
The Two Pillars -

Tonight I am going to try and resurrect the belief and reality in MIRACLES! The podcast is usually available sometime Sunday: message title is, "Jesus : Exception or Example"? I get some of the meanest looks when I tell people that they should WORSHIP Jesus....

Ps. 43:5 in the (ERV) reads, "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God." Other translations ask, why...

Every society has been built on previous societies. Who doesn't know that? Every person carries some of the genes from which they came. Who doesn't know that? Every religion is built on the shoulders of previous ones. Who doesn't know that? There is a big...

Ernie Fitzpatrick
The Gospel of Judas is just one of many "time capsules" that give us insights to the life and times of Jesus. Known as the codex Tchacos, a leather-bound Coptic papyrus was discovered during the 1970s, near Beni Masah in Egypt. It has been translated and...
Victors Write History! -
by
Ernie Fitzpatrick
Finding the FACTS about history is difficult at best! Not only is history being constantly rewritten, altered to make the case of the redactor, it is also subject to being forgotten. I'll never forget my college history teacher, Dr. West, saying, "The best way to...

On August 1st we enter the sweet spot (no pun intended because it's really SOUR) of the Cardinal Climax. Then on August 15th, my last post, we encountered the turbulence of the Hindenburg Omen. But no worry, there must be TWO of those complicated events...
The 'Gospel Truth'? -
by
Ernie Fitzpatrick
The Gospel of Truth is one of the Gnostic texts from the New Testament apocrypha found in the Nag Hammadi codices. The Dead Sea Scrolls, Nag Hammadi find, and other recent archaeological digs have been changing the landscape of modern-day Christianity. I am not talking...

Some people are smarter than others! So, tell me something I don't know! There are some very bright people on the planet. Stephen Hawkings comes to mind when I think of people in our day. This British theoretical physicist and cosmologist, whose scientific career spans...
Spiritual Cyanosis -

The BP oil spill has created a lot of rumors. One of the longer term facts though is what's called Blue Flu. Blue Flu is the exposure to the toxic and oxygen depleted Gulf air and water which puts people in immediate danger of permanent and irreversible biological...

Sometimes archaeologists find artifacts so mind-blowing they seem like evidence of lost civilizations or alien visitors. Which ones are misinterpretations or hoaxes, and which are the real thing? What we do know is that we have lost civilizations and lost technologies that we have no...
The 13th Floor -
by
Ernie Fitzpatrick
One of my favorite movies was the 1999 film entitled, The Thirteenth Floor. The Thirteenth Floor ranks right there with the Matrix and Inception as I view it. The movie raises philosophical questions around technology and reality. It's one of those unique films that crosses quite a...
Religious Arm Candy -
by
Ernie Fitzpatrick
Maybe we adults should pay attention to what we tell our kids, "Too much sweet stuff isn't good for you". The word religion come from the Latin word RELIGARE which translates into English as something akin to RESTRAIN or to TIE BACK TOGETHER. So what...
New Revelation or Old Wisdom? -
by
Ernie Fitzpatrick
Let me say that I am a Christian because I grew up in a Christian environment- Missouri and Kansas before really hitting the Buckle of the Bible Belt- Texas! Let me also add that after several colonic cleansings, a couple of rewiring jobs to my...
