The harmony between science and faith
         I believe science has been redefined in our culture. When most people hear the word science the idea of millions of years, the big bang, and macro evolution come to their mind. Science however is based on observations (using one or more of the five senses) and repeatable processes to gain knowledge about the world. This is known as observational science. The issue of Creation/Evolution is the study of the past.  We cannot repeat the past because it is history. Many people are so sure that they know how life began, however they were not there to witness it. There is not one living scientist that was there to observe the Big Bang that supposedly occurred 13-15 billion years ago, nor the rock formations that took millions of years. They cannot repeat these events either. All of the evidence exists in the present. Evolution is a belief system about the past. It takes faith to believe that the universe we see today is a result of a random chance event that took place 13-15 billion years ago. It also takes faith to believe that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Interestingly, almost every branch of Science, was founded, co-founded or advanced by a Bible believing Creationist. Christians and Evolutionists both practice observational science and both have an idea of how the earth began. The idea that science and faith cannot coexist is a fallacy because everyone exercises faith.

Below are ten questions you can use to ask a Jehovah's Witness or someone else who you are concerned is in a high control group. Now, these questions are designed to help your Jehovah's Witness friend to start thinking critically because they are become conditioned to rely on an organization to think for them.  These questions are not designed to just start blasting one after the other at a Jehovah's Witness. They way to use these questions is by genuinely asking them in a calm setting and allowing your friend to answer. Then, after you have asked these questions you can return to your friend's original answer and apply literature and information exposing the organization. Now these questions also involve YOU doing your own research and finding the best information to bring into the conversation. 1. Do you believe the Bible was written to all people? Initially most cults would agree that the Bible was written to all people. However, after further research yo

Approaching Two Jehovah's Witnesses to Discuss Christmas and Their Double Standard

  Happy New Year! The day after Christmas I approached two Jehovah's Witnesses and asked them their reasoning for not celebrating Christmas. My goal was not to get them to believe celebrating Christmas is acceptable but rather for them to see how they carry a double standard.  Jehovah's Witnesses are quick to call out Christendom for its supposed false teaching and pagan doctrines. However, what is considered a false teaching for other religions is simply a mistake or error when it's taught by the Watchtower. Secondly, if we take a look at the teachings JW's held during the time Jesus was supposedly inspecting all the churches, they were not the proper food at the proper time. They interpret Matthew 24:45-47 as a prophecy to mean God will appoint a "Faithful and Discreet Slave" to feed God's people. They currently teach the Faithful and Discreet Slave is their Governing Body. However, this teaching has changed over the years.  You can listen to my conversa

The truth that sets free is Jesus!

This person left a comment on one of my "shorts" where I describe the agenda in a JW Book Study. Ironically, for them the truth in John 8 is referring to a person, NOT an organization. I told this person, they need to keep reading because Jesus is the one who sets free from sin. Jehovah's Witnesses are indoctrinated to believe that truth must be found in an organization. I've seen this with other religious groups where they are led to believe their church is the only TRUE church. When disillusion strikes these individuals because they've uncovered falsehood, lies or deception in their group they are still left with the question of "what church/group has the truth?" Instead, the New Testament continually points to a person for salvation and freedom. Our job is not to identify the true religion but rather to respond to a person and his work. "and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 "Jesus answered them, “Tru
