Hmm… Well, I’m a guy, a blogger, and my name starts with J.
More seriously… the superhero I’d most like to be is Thor.

I’m super excited for Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of the Skywalker and Frozen II.

And my Biblical canon is broader than most – the Protestant 66, the Apocrypha (minus 2 Ezra 1-2 and 15-16), Enoch, Jubilees, the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, Psalms 151-160, 2 and 4 Baruch, and the Gospel of the Hebrews.
OK, now for Keziah’s questions
What is your all-time favorite memory of this past summer?
Well, I’m an Aussie, so my last summer ended in February.  Um… I’m really not sure what my favourite memory of it is.
Have you or are you learning a new language?
Well, I’ve learnt some Hebrew and Mandarin Chinese.
Are you more Chloric, Melancholy, Sanguine or Phlegmatic?
This one made me chuckle.  I do sometimes have a problem with phlegm.
What is your favorite drink?
Probably Sunkist.

If you had one more week to live and you could do anything in that time span, what would you do?
Make absolutely certain I was right with God.  Made sure someone knows everything I do (is that possible in a week? :) ).  Research as much of my remaining ancestry as possible (and add as much as possible to my MyHeritage family tree).  Find time to try and watch the movies I wanted to, but hadn’t gotten around to.  Translate as much of the Bible as possible.
In short, a very busy (and somewhat nerdy) week.
MY NOMINEES
Jason
The Eclectic Contrarian
The Movie and the Muse
Tina

Remember, it’s entirely voluntary!
MY QUESTIONS FOR MY NOMINEES
  • What’s your most embarrassing memory?
  • If you had a week to live, what would you do?
  • What’s something you’ve never told anyone?  (IF you’re comfortable with that question; otherwise, What’s your favourite thing to do?)
  • What’s your favourite colour?
  • What’s your favourite food?
Remember, it’s entirely voluntary, and have FUN!  (Something that stuck with me from watching Mary Poppins Returns right before posting this.)
(P.S. If you’ve nominated me for an award in the past and I HAVEN’T done a post for it yet, PLEASE remind me.)

KJV Only?

The KJV Only movement is a belief on the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible - also known as the Authorised Version (AV) or the Authorised King James Version (AKJV) - that ranges from preferring it over other, later translations, to the belief that it's inspired, perfect, and superior to the original Hebrew & Greek texts, and that all other translations are intentionally corrupt, satanic, and unreliable.  The former is of course entirely a matter of personal preference & opinion, and you won't hear criticism of it from me.  The latter on the other hand... well, that's the focus of this article. First, some historic background (although most will be at least partly familiar with it: following his coronation as King of England and Ireland in 1604, King James I (VI of Scotland) commissioned a new translation of the Bible into English.  The project was handed over to committees - each of which translated a separate portion of the Bible - which separately compl...

Evidence for Giants

-

You will find in the Bible and in innumerable ancient legends references to giant; humanoids who were (often much) taller (and stronger) than normal.  (Gigantism – where a person is abnormally large, but weak – is entirely different.)  They often have a supernatural origin, the result of a union between supernatural beings and human women.  The Bible calls them the Nephillim and Rephaim.  The Greeks called them the Titans. They don’t fit into Evolution, and so are generally regarded as myths.  However, there is direct evidence – PHYSICAL evidence – that they were (and probably still are) very real.  The following is an article titled Traces of Giants Discovered Worldwide from Tales from Out There: The skeletons of giants were removed; whenever a new one appears the bones are quickly removed; they are carried far away to big hangars hidden from the public eye  or are destroyed. The Smithsonian Institute has admitted in court tha...

Revisiting Christmas

-
Image
Well, today (in Australia) is Christmas Day.  Quite possibly THE most popular holiday in the world (although the media’s trying to make horrid Halloween more and more popular). For those of you who celebrate it, I hope you’re having/have a great day.  For those of you (like me) for whom it’s just another normal day (and no, that’s not “legalistic”), I hope you’re having/have a great day. Although it’s become lost in modern consumerism, Christmas is claimed to be a celebration of Christ’s birthday – although it’s generally agreed that He wasn’t born on that day. Some of you might remember my post Christmas , in which I argued that it is an appropriated pagan festival (see Deuteronomy 12:30-31, Matthew 5, and Does the Torah Still Apply? ).  However, I have since discovered that some of the claims are false. “False” as in I’m seriously questioning my view of Christmas as a pagan festival. I’m going to go through each incorrect (or only partially correct...
