The Avengers & Iron Man

-

 Blockbusters Reviewed

Welcome to the 37th edition of My Fortnightly Movie/TV Thoughts!  Last fortnight, I reviewed Thor (2011) and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).  This fortnight, I’m reviewing:

  • Marvel’s The Avengers (2012), rated M for action violence
  • Iron Man Three (2013), rated M for action violence

Those are of course the Australian ratings.  In the United States, the ratings are:

  • The Avengers – PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action throughout, and a mild drug reference
  • Iron Man Three – PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence throughout, and brief suggestive content

As usual, I’ll give the trailers and a clip each at the end.  And as usual, I offer the following disclaimer just to be safe:

WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD.  PROCEED AT OWN RISK.

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 complet

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 that has destroyed thousands of skele

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) claim and co
