Nationalism seems to rising in the world these days, and even many Christians are caught up in its fervor. Is Nationalism appropriate for Christians?

THE MESSAGE OF NATIONALISM

The underlying thrust of Nationalism is – “My nation, my country, right or wrong!”

“Can a corrupt throne be allied with you – a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?” (Psalm 94:20 NIV) With all of a nation’s benefits, the historical facts are that many nations were built on rebellion, land seizure, and broken promises, treaties, murder, oppression, etc. A nation’s status in the world is often achieved through “misery” on the backs of the rest of the world. Is this something to be proud of? Nationalism exalts one’s nation over all other nations. read more

GAY?

“Ye have respect for him that cometh into your gathering in gay clothing . . . ” (James 2:3 KJV KJV)

First of all we want to note why we don’t use the term “Gay” to refer to “Pride”. “Gay” is a word whose meaning was equivocated into a euphemism for homosexual. This change in common usage occurred circa 1970, with the embrace of the so-called “sexual revolution” in mainstream culture. read more

No Authorization To Substitute “LORD” For “YHWH” In Translation

Most Bible translations substitute “LORD” for “Yahweh” in Bible translations, as we see in the picture below. Is there any authorization to substitute “LORD” for “Yahweh”?

“It is almost if not quite certain that the Name was pronounced ‘Yahweh'”. (NRSV preface). That is true. read more
