Warning: unusually harsh cartoon. Obama
the Baby Killer? For about 10 minutes, this seemed to be a very serious
debate, and then, suddenly, it disappeared. I should warn you, the
cartoon on this page is quite harsh and you may want to skip over it.
If it did not represent the truth, I would not have put it in. True
Political Corruption—we continually fund the campaigns of candidates
that we do not approve of...who will fix this problem? Brilliant
Suggestion to McCain—what to do for his RNC speech. 2nd
Brilliant Suggestion to McCain: who should he pick for his running
mate? You have not heard this name yet... Our Soldiers in Georgia—why
are our soldiers in Georgia delivering aid? How did this effect a cease
fire. New Obama Book—the book that came out last week had some
inaccuracies. However, notice, Obama is not saying anything about this
book. Our Corrupt Media—I assume that they must be on the Obama
payroll. Unabashed plug for FoxNews. Censorship in America—one example.
- The Rush
Section: Democratic Party's Parade of Victims—Democrats fall prey to
this year after year...people who are having a tough time are trotting
out to tell their sad stories, and, somehow, we are to think that the
Dems will fix it. 3% of the World's Population Take Most Gold (why not?
We use 25% of the world’s energy). Raj in Houston Calls Rush—not a
victim. I Have a Dream! What is the record of civil rights? Obama and
Infanticide. The media moved on quite quickly after this. Since they
are in the tank for Obama, you can’t blame them. Bicycle Lanes Bad for
Environment? Arnold and Obama on the Energy Crisis. Don’t think that
Rush is simply a mouthpiece for Republicans. Whatever you do for the
least of My brothers (Obama and his brother).
- Conservative Review #38:
(August 17, 2008) HTML PDF Question for Obama. Did You
See the first Debate? Russia, Georgia-the Big Picture—it is a war for
oil. What Will Happen? (I will try to collect these under the same
heading from hereon in). God is saying, "Wake Up, America" Expelled-No
Intelligence Allowed (very low reviews and DVD is coming out). Blacks
are Inferior (according to liberal programs over the past 40 years).
Corsi's Obama Nation—finally, the media wants to investigate someone’s
background. Obama's Response to Corsi. Why Press Reveals Edwards Affair
Now. Dick Durbin on the Oil Companies (this man has no concept of what
a business is, how a business is run, or what free enterprise is all
about). Floyd Brown Ads (what do you think of this ad?).
- And the Rush
Section: US and Iraq = Russian and Georgia? Our Military is in Georgia.
Are you Shocked that Communists Lie? This War is About Oil. The Truth
About Oil (History Channel Special). Why isn't Obama Doing Better? The
Mainstream media wants to know. The Clinton (not Obama) Convention. The
APA to Make us Think Green. Dems Celebrate Bill Clinton yet Shun
Edwards.

California, the latest issue, a day early... Question for Obama; Quote
of the Week; Quote of the Week #2; Vid of the Week; Observation of the
Week; Inequity of the Week. Is Hillary Dead? Is she really out of this
race? VEEPSTAKES Surprise—a surprise suggestion for McCain. Oprah's
Vision of Education—this could have been a much better program if she
was not tied to Obama, whose plan for education is, surprise, more
taxing, more spending, and increased pay for teachers. White House
Sends out Talking Points—where did this idea come from? Conservative
Talk Radio and TV. Obama and McCain on Russia's Attack—compare what
they said, side-by-side. Why Trust Democrats in War? Wind Power versus
Nuclear Power (admittedly, not polished, but you will get the idea.
Letter in the Sacramento Bee (another of the 20 or so I have submitted,
but they will not print). The Rush Section: The Gang of Ten. Leaked
Clinton Memos. Poo and Pee Ban in Denver. Drive-By Media Supports
Inflation. Drive-By's: Downside of Falling Oil Prices. [Bill] Clinton
Won't say, Obama is Qualified. Drive-By's Revisit Trickle-Down (now it
is a factor?). ChiComs Lie? Is Pelosi this Stupid? (Rush’s words, not

Criticism of Obama?

There are key differences between liberals and conservatives; I
maintain that liberals do not live in the real world...see what you

stir. The real reason that Obama objected to Bush's words.
Unless Republican leaders get their act together, they will be
slaughtered this fall. One common Democratic lie refuted.
McCain on global warming (sigh!!) Guest writer gives a
pro-torture argument. Liberation theology. Walking away
from a mortgage. Rush on Billy Carter, racist Democrats, seizing
oil profits, and the Bush, McCain, Obama dust up. Also, some great
articles linked.
- An exegetical study of 1Chronicles 16 (5-12-08) HTML PDF I
have been working on this chapter since the beginning of this
year. I have had to exegete 3 or 4 psalms during this time (which
are pertinent to 1Chorn. 16) and going to Chronicles represents a
diversion from 2Samuel 6 (in the next few days, I will go back to
chapter 7). There is a lot of incredible material in 1Chron
16: I have given very reasonable theories as to why the psalms
found in 1Chron 16 do not match their counterparts word-for-word in the
Psalms. I have explained why we have the book of Chronicles,
which appears to be a repetition now and again. One item which
has been ignored by commentators over the years: King David will
actually choose the place where Jesus Christ will rule from during the
Millennium. The Ark is in Jerusalem and the Tabernacle is in
Gibeon--I will explain why. We are told exactly what foods David
gave to the people--I will explain why this is meaningful. How
our lives are like an improvised jazz riff. The idea that Jesus
did not exist or was a fraud. Some Muslims have gone past the
point of natural affection. God's Covenant to Abraham in the New
Testament. Sometimes, God gives us a preview of coming
attractions in our lives. Christian martyrs versus Muslim
martyrs. Most environmentalists do not worship God, but they
worship His creation instead. Why was Moses so disciplined for
twice slamming the rock with his rod for the 2nd "no-water"
incident. Why David did not move the Tabernacle to
Jerusalem. The two High Priests. This ended up being about
250 pages long. Whew!

What is the October Surprise that Hillary is talking about? Why
can't the Clinton's unleash that now? DC Madam's suicide a
suicide? Michael Yon from Iraq, the coming 10 years of cold, how
Conservaitves and Liberals differ, the Myanmar disaster and how their
government really is willing to kill their own people, another example
of media bias: numbers you know and numbers the media keeps from you; a
mother's day letter from Iraq (okay, it was not written on Mother's
day, but it was written to this guy's mom); the $100,000 ad: what is a
Republican?; and Rush had an incredible week (he explains the gas and
oil prices, supply and demand, how much gas and oil the US is sitting
on right now; a liberal caller takes Rush on; the republican attack
machine, and Rush waxes eloquently on God's creation). It was a
great week! We are lucky to be Americans! Enjoy!

I must admit, I went a little crazy this
afternoon; there was so much good stuff this week, and since I was flat
on my back for a few days, I'd get up, write, and then lay back down
again. There was a lot of classic Rush, although I could not find
the quote where he said, "Obama, 278 days after promsing to, finally
went on Chris Wallace's program for an interview. By the way, 278
days--that's 2 years for you people in Rio Linda."
Is Obama a liar? There are only 3
options here...you make the call.
The things Wright said that you did not hear
before.
Clinton actually does a standup job on the
O'Reilly Factor.
The wisdom of Pastor Hagee (compare this to
Wright's statements).
Why is Wright suddenly quiet?
What about Wright's first speech this week on
education?
Why are scientists warning us about the cool
weather about to come upon us?
Out of touch politicians
Can Democrats throw Obama under the bus?
The ethanol debacle.

(1) I give a complete review of Barack Obama, and what we know about
him and what kinds of judgments we are able to make about him. This was
written before Obama's latest speech, wherein he condemns his former
pastor, Jeremiah Wright. (2) I review the movie Expelled!
No Intelligence Allowed! I provide a great many links, as this is
one of the lowest-rated movies of all time by professional movie
critics. (3) Obama allows himself (finally) to be interviewed by
Chris Wallace. Obama is ready and comes off well. (4) There
is a movement afoot to put government in charge of as many things as
possible. There is a reason for this. Before you surrender
to government-run health care, read "Let Me Pull it All Together for
You." (5) Finally, just to prove that Rush is not an arm of the
Republican party, he goes after McCain, big time.

- Although I exegeted Psalm 95 about a decade ago,
exegeting its companion psalm recently caused me to go back and rework
this psalm. HTML
PDF
There are a number of important doctrines and studies in this
psalm. First of all, it is important to note that the key to this
psalm is either positive or negative volition after salvation, and we
see both sides of this coin here. Some areas of interest might be
(1) speculation versus dogmatism; (2) If God owns the earth, what right
do we have to claim this or that plot of ground? (3) the proper
posture in worship; (4) covenant theology both challenges the
faithfulness and veracity of God as well promotes legalism; (5) how
could both of the exodus generations fail, but one goes into the
land? And (6) how God's promises to Israel parallel the promises
made to us for time and eternity.
- Conservative
Review #16: 3/16/08 HTML PDF
There are two primary topics covered in this issue: Barack Obama
presents himself as a man of excellent judgment and he will be meeting
with all of the enemies of the United States, presumably because he is
so smart, so perceptive and so able to move someone over to buckle to
US demands with words. If he is this smart, how is it possible
that Obama sat under a racist Black, separatist pastor, and yet, never
had a clue? Does this show good judgment? Does this show
human insight? The second point is, the Democratic party cannot
seem to run a sensible primary--the Democratic primary is insane,
convoluted, and the super-delegates can overrule the people...now,
these same people who cannot organize a simpe primary think that they
are capable of running our health care system, something which is
infinitely more complex. Does this make even a little sense?

- 2/23/08 Psalm
96 HTML
PDF
This psalm both names Jesus by name and speaks of the earth's circular
orbit (yes, I know the earth actually has an elliptical orbit).
This is an amazing psalm. Also, with this psalm, because of the
new version of WP (X4) and Windows Vista, most of the Hebrew characters
are now accurately represented in the HTML documents (which should
interest all of about 2 people). This is not retroactive,
however, and all older documents will continue to accurately represent
the Hebrew and graphics in the PDF documents, but not so much in the
HTML docs. I did some minor updates on this psalm 2/25/08, to
better explain how we find the name Jesus in Psalm 96.
I also found out that Jesus
being the Greek equivalent to Joshua
is actually up for discussion. I went back and covered this
particular issue letter by letter, so that there is no mistaking that
our Lord's name in this Psalm.
- 2/21/08 The word intercalation means insertion. Theologically,
this refers to where the Church Age is inserted between the advents of
Jesus Christ. The Old Testament does not predict the Church Age,
but the Old Testament has the 1st and 2nd Advents of Jesus Christ,
between which we know to
insert the Church Age. The Doctrine
of Intercalation is updated slightly, almost doubling the number
of passages where the 1st and 2nd Advents of
Jesus Christ are found in Old Testament Scripture. HTML

I put this doctrine together primarily because I could not find it
represented properly on the Internet.

This is one of the many psalms which is carefully organized. In
this psalm, there is a different inscription in the Greek text.
What does this mean to us? Does this bring all Scripture into
question? How much has man messed with the Bible; can we trust
it? I also cover the following topics: the Essence
of the Soul, False
Concepts of the Soul, what it means for Man
to be Created in the Image of God, and Salvation
in the Old Testament. I also discuss: what man has actually
done to the Bible; why we know that we can trust the manuscripts that
we have; politics and doctrine; why conservative candidates do not
insure divine establishment government, the link to Romney's
Religion speech (no, I am not a Momron; it was still an excellent
spreech); contrary to what many people believe, the Bible does not beat
us over the head with Biblical principals; illustrations of the
greatness of R. B. Thieme Jr.'s teaching; the thoughts of men die with
them; the plans of man and the constitution of the United States; the
importance of the body; abortion (with links to Robby Dean's teaching
on this topic); the rarity of water in this universe; the first
recorded instance of Global Warming is found in the Bible; welfare and
God's plan; why most Christians are failures; and criminals, jailhouse
ministries and God's Word. Also, this is where I decided I needed
to post the Doctrine
of Intercalation.

- I just
re-worked Psalm 105; the
process took me 2.5 months and the exegsis is 240 pages long. The
updated version has a lot more information than did the previous
version. One of the striking features of this psalm is just how
complex the organization is. The psalm seems simple to read, but
the outline is quite fascinating. A point of interest to some is
the spiritual life of Israel; this psalm lists 7
commands of the spiritual life in the Age of Israel. The Catholic
Church often gets a bum rap for somehow getting ahold of the early
Scriputres and making untold numbers of changes to them early on; this
is completely false and covered in this study. Other important topics
in this study: your
memory is a part of your spiritual life; the
exclusivity of the God of the Jews; the
Problems of Covenant Theology; Jacob
versus Israel; every
word of every contract made by God with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the
exact travels of Abraham and the
other patriarchs; the
amazing parallels between Joseph and Jesus (as type and antitype); the
problem of pain; hints
to parents; people tend to mistakenly believe that the Bible is
filled with miracles and that, every time you walk into a church, you
ought to expect a miracle; thus just is not true--see the
time periods of miracles; God
turning the Egyptians against His Own people; What
About Reparations?; I have developed an hypothesis about God
hardening Pharaoh's heart (I am not quite ready to commit to it
yet); the meaning of the two "no-water"
incidents in the desert wilderness; and, finally, just how accurate
are the
Old Testament manuscripts? Quite frankly, I am pretty happy
with the end results of the commentary of this psalm and highly
recommend it. HTML PDF

years ago, when I attended a Baptist church, a guest speaker give us an

know there is an Old Testament, but you don't know much beyond

- 10/18/07:
I have not added anything for awhile. I have taken a few trips
out of town, and when I do that, I work on the basic exegesis, which
requires another 2-4 weeks worth of work to complete. So, I have
about 6 psalms in the hopper, so to speak, which I am working on, all
which related to 1Samuel 5 and 1Chronicles 16. However, i have added a
set of notes, many of which were not posted here before. I have a
new page of notes found here.
- 8/28/07:
I have done some minor updating on 1Samual 4 and 1Samuel 5, adding a bit
of commentary to both. I have also fixed the graphics for most of
the Samuel series. I've also updated the Old Testament Topics.
- 8/24/07:
You will obviously note that I have not posted anything new for
awhile. I have spent the last 3 months working on Psalm 68 (HTML PDF), which is
practically the most difficult chapter of the Bible that I have ever
exegeted (which includes the chapters of Job that I have done so
far). There were two verses for which I could form almost no
explanation; and there were a half dozen verses which I half-explained,
but not to my own standards. However, despite this, I feel as
though this has been some of my most productive work to date.
Here are some of the topics which I covered:
- Although I heard a lot of weird theories
about the occasion for this psalm, I was able to nail that down with
little trouble (comparatively speaking).
- Just who is Mary (the mother of Jesus) and
why isn't she just a little bit better than all of us? The
Catholic view of Mary taken out to its logical conclusion.
- Freedom, war, our involvement in Vietnam,
Iraq; science and women's choices.
- The Lake of Fire; can this really be
justified to our human minds?
- The inconvenient locations of Wal-mart in
the ancient world.
- Quite frankly, there are some verses in the
Bible that we will never understand...what does that mean? Did
God screw up? How should we deal with the idea that some portions
of Scripture are truly inscrutable.
- Why are there 4 gospels?
- Why do we need to be strong? Why does
God want us to grow up spiritually? Isn't the man who can just
sit on a park bench and wait for God to take care of him--isn't he the
picture of a great, mature faith? What is spiritual growth all
about?
- Why did God choose Solomon to build the
Temple; why didn't God choose David, as it was in David's mind to build
a Temple to God?
- Why do we praise God?
- What is the significance of the ancient heavens?
- Can any scientist fully comprehend
anything, no matter how narrow his field?
- God's relationship with the Jew.
Arabic hatred for Jews.
- What happened with the Conservative party
in the US when we abandoned anti-Semitism.
- So, as you see, despite the fact that I
fought tooth and nail with this psalm, I got so much out of it and felt
that portions of this psalm reflect my best work (although, taken as a
whole, this psalm may tend to be very
ponderous).
- 6/5/2007: I have extensively
examined a dozen or so Hebrew words in great detail. In some
cases, I have spent 5-10 pages examining a single Hebrew word.
Admittedly, even though there are some very important theological
points sprinkled throughout, these studies are going to have limited
appeal. The Links to these
Specific Hebrew words: HTML PDF
- 5-29-2007: My suggestion for immigration reform; you are welcome
to copy and paste and send it along to your congressmen (I've
sent it to mine) or to those on your email list. HTML As
an update, at least one of my proposals is a part of legislation before
Congress (although, as far as I know, it was original with me; however,
no doubt, others had the same ideas as well)
- 5-19-2007: Psalm 47. God is
presented as Sovereign over all the world, something which is clear in
Old Testament Scripture. This psalm was possibly sung when the
Ark was transported into Jerusalem, and speaks of our Lord's 2nd
Advent. There are some fascinating parallels between this psalm
and the history of Israel and between this psalm and the resurrection
of Jesus Christ. HTML PDF
- 5-1-2007: Psalm 12. Here's what I
suggest; read this psalm; particularly v. 6. So, what is an
earthen furnace? The key to this verse is ellipsis and the key to
the psalm is organization. Once you understand that, everything
will hold together and make sense. By the way, this is one of the
most up-to-date portions of Scripture; this deals with the internet and
the political left and their present-day tactics. HTML PDF
- 4-28-2007: I am presently
working on Psalm 12; however, I came upon the fact that the words the poor and the needy occur
together in Scripture over 30 times. I felt that should be
investigated. The Doctrine of
the Poor and Needy (which is not the same as The Doctrine of the
Poor) is found here: HTML PDF

A book report, so to speak of Lubenow's
Bones of
Contention. I summarize a few chapters and some of his
best arguments. This is no substitute for the book, which I
recommend highly to those who are interested in this topic. HTML PDF
- Psalm 46 HTML PDF I
originally began this study, hoping to tie this psalm to the moving of
the Ark by David into Jerusalem (there is one word found in the
inscription which is only found in one other chapter of Scripture:
1Chronicles 15). After working on the psalm for about a week, it
became apparent that such an interpretation was
unwarrranted. It is more likely that this psalm should be
placed when Sennacharib first attempted to invade Judah by intimidating
the Jewish people. I completed this exegesis, even though it was
unrelated to where I am in the books of Samuel and Chronicles. I
did not want to leave this psalm half-done. This, along with
other events, helped to solidify my thoughts expressed above in War and the Believer. (4/12/07)
- War and the Believer HTML
PDF
There is a quick and easy way to examine any war, such as our war in
Iraq, and determine if we are justified in God's eyes to be at war
there. Pastor Kennedy has a good link on War
as well.
- I have
recently added a page devoted to creation versus evolution;
although I only have a few articles posted there, it is well worth
checking out (for those who are interested in this particular
topic).
- Psalm 24 (HTML) (PDF) This
short psalm was probably written by David specifically for the carrying
in the Ark into Jerusalem. Although the Bible is not a
scientific book, it makes a few statements which were pretty amazing to
have been written by a shepherd-king 3000 years ago.
- 2Samuel 5 HTML PDF
- 2Samuel 6 HTML PDF
- Confusing and/or Objectionable Passages of
Scripture HTML
PDF: as a
part of the exegesis of 1Chronicles 13 (a work still in progress),
there are a number of prominent passages in the Old Testament which are
confusing to the unbeliever or to the new believer. In 2Samuel 6
and 1Chronicles 13, Uzzah, a Levite who has been taking care of the Ark
for several years, reaches out to steady the Ark when it appears that
it might fall out of the cart in which it is being carried, and God
strikes him dead right there on the spot. I mean, come on, isn't
this a little harsh? There is nothing to suggest that this thing
which Uzzah did was any more than a natural reflex--God should kill him
for that? This, and several other passages, are discussed and
explained, so that you might better understand and appreciate what God
does.
- 1Chronicles 13 (HTML) (PDF) You
might think that, having studies 2Samuel 6 that its parallel passage in
Chronicles is unnecessary; think again.
- Why are there 4 Gospels?
(HTML)
(PDF)
Why didn't God the Holy Spirit simply include everthing that we need to
know about Jesus Christ in one gospel?
- One of
the things which has bothered me for a long time is, why did God have Joshua and the Jewish
military walk around Jericho for 6 days bearing the Ark of God?
Furthermore, why did God demand that
Jericho be burned with fire? While studying this morning,
it came to me, and I have included these points in an old examination
of Joshua 6
(PDF version).
- 1Chronicles 14 (HTML) (PDF). Given
all the anti-war protests which have recently occurred, and given that
this is a study of David at war with the Philistines (among other
things), it is worthwhile to examine the exegetical study, particularly
those sections which deal directly with the believer whose country is
at war. It is always interesting when those who tend to be
anti-God are marching in these peace marches (not all of them, of
course), and the Christian right are seen as the war mongers (which
confuses the left, because they recall that Jesus said, "Blessed are
the peacemakers"). Given all of this, you may find this to be an
interesting set of points. Less topical, but every bit as
important are the two questions: (1)
Why is 1Chron. 14 placed here, in between the two attempts to move the
Ark; and (2) why is 1Chron.
14 here at all? That is, there is essentially one verse
found here which is not found in 2Sam. 5; so what is the reason for the
repetition?
- Polygamy: there are several
doctrines from the Pentateuch which I have not gotten around to doing;
however, after coming across pertinent passages in Judges, Samuel and
Chronicles, I figured it was time. (HTML) (PDF)
- 1Chronicles 15 (HTML) (PDF)
Although covered in just one chapter in 2Samuel, the writer/editor of
Chronicles devotes 3 chapters to David moving the Ark of God.
1Chron. 13 deals with the unsuccessful attempt to move the Ark; 1Chron.
14 covers the successful transport of the Ark from Obed-edom's home to
Jerusalem; and 1Chron. 16 will cover the celebration which takes place after the Ark is placed in its tent
in Jerusalem. At the end of 1Chron. 15, I will cover Psalms 24,
46, 12, 8 and 68 (in that order). Whether or not these psalms
were a part of the celebratory movement of the Ark, is
unknonwn. However, given that several psalms are alluded to in
1Chron. 16, and given that there were many musicians involved in the
transport of the Ark, it is reasonable to suppose that psalms were sung
while the Ark was moving. It is possible that these psalms were
sung during this time.
- Surprisingly
(at least, two me), two of the doctrines which seem to get the most
hits are the Ark of the Covenant
(HTML) (PDF) and the Doctrine of Fasting (HTML) (PDF).
Therefore, I have updated these doctrines somewhat. As is
often the case, the PDF version of the Arc of the Covenant may not
display on your computer, as it is a fairly large document; in that
case, you will need to save it to your harddrive and view it from
there.
