Authorship of Isaiah

The authorship of Isaiah has been attacked in the modern era with great veracity. However, the reasons for this are unfounded because of an anti-presuppositional bias against prophetic supernaturalism. If one presupposes a materialistic worldview, then one must attempt to reinterpret Isaiah and give it a later date.

To begin with, the Masoretic (Hebrew Old Testament) was questioned for years by materialists, yet the finding of the great Isaiah scroll in the Dead Sea area collapsed the dating of the text just over a thousand years! The Word of God is always vindicated because it is the Word of God.

Even so, the date of Isaiah is still questioned, especially in light of the Cyrus prophecy that occurred many years before Cyrus was born and before the Persian Empire rose to such great heights of power. However, the text nor the evidence warrants against an early date for Isaiah. Rather, it is a defective pressupositional bias that forces these convoluted interpretations.

I reccomend Motyer's Commentary on Isaiah for further study.

To God be the glory! Amen!

The Bible, Law, and the Constitution of the Unites States

Though many detest the Bible, it is the only true source for Absolute Law because it is inspired by God. Apart from the Bible, man is left with vastly different and absurd human philosophies that grope in the wind for a basis of law. Though we do not and should not advocate a theocracy this side of the Cross, the Bible does provide us with key principles that establish and uphold justice within a fallen society.

It is from Biblical principles that the Constitution of the United States is derived, yet, apart from self-regulation, this Constitution is not sustainable, which is something the Founders were quick to point out. This has become especially evident in our present post-modern decadent society. Likewise, because those who oppose the Constitution in favor of relativistic law tend to be anti-Christian, they are inevitably drawn to detest it.

Atlanta Public Schools Cheating Scandal

An investigation has shown that widespread cheating on standardized tests has occurred within the Atlanta Public Education system for the past decade or so. Not only is this exhibit A for why dumping gobs of cash into public education is futile, but it is also a testament to the depravity of our day. In stead of confession, there appears to be immediate justification! How godless!

I have heard over and over again this morning on talk radio of reports where numerous people are sympathetic to this cheating scandal. Instead of condemning it, it has simply become the result of pressure upon the system to produce higher test scores. There you go folks! The means have justified the ends, and we should all hold hands and gloss over this systematic widespread government run cheating scandal!

Birthday & Life Update

Hi Everyone! Yesterday was my birthday: 33!

I've been incredibly busy the past couple months after I got my new job managing the property & evidence room at Norcross Police Department, and life is much better now. My schedule is a 100 times better, and home life is more stable as a result.

I've been able to teach some at Christ Reformed Church during the Bible study hour on Sunday morning. Of late, I did a two part series examining the life of Joseph and all the implications therein. He is truly my hero of the Old Testament.

Lord willing, I will be speaking at a youth fellowship of Nepali youth on Saturday.

To Him be the glory!

Amen!

Transitioning Into Home School

In the present era, many works have been published documenting the severe faults and weaknesses of public education as it pertains to the Christian life as well as the quality of education itself. For this reason, many have the desire to homeschool their children but have difficulty in the transition. Simply put, they want to homeschool but are overwhelmed at such a transition.

Therefore, I have decided to write a conscise booklet in helping parents overcome some of the real obstacles that homeschool parents face. The focus will be on three key areas: theological underpinnings, fiscal responsibities, and logistics. The theological section will highlight some of the critical reasons why Christian parents should consider homeschooling. Secondly, finances will be covered because this tends to be one of the most problematic areas when transitioning from a two-income family to a single-income family, especially when health insurance and/or immense debt is involved. Finally, logistics will cover the nuts and bolts of curriculum selection, implementation, and familial roles.
