The Monroe’s Unlikely Adoption
I just read this heart-warming story at MSNBC. It tells of a girl abandoned twice before she was 2 weeks old, and of the family who finally adopted her. Her birth mother was an IV drug user, and the first adoptive family declined her after learning of her severe heart defect. I find the Monroe’s […]
DNA and Tradition, Guide for the Perplexed
Ok, the title of my post actually comes from two different books. The first is called “DNA and Tradition: The Genetic Link to the Ancient Hebrews“, by Rabbi Yaakov Kleiman. The rabbi looks into DNA evidence concerning the tribe of Levi, as well as the other lost tribes of Israel. In the introduction to the […]
Montanists, Mormons, and Early Christian Doctrines
This is part 3 of Heresy and Orthodoxy. I’ve been listening to class 5 from the Covenant Theological Seminary on Ancient and Medieval Church History. They have talked about Gnosticism and Marcionism.

Class 5 deals with […]

I think it sounds interesting to read myself, and I think others may find it interesting. —————————— The Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research (FAIR) would like to announce […]

Is the Book of Abraham related to Muslim texts?
I was reading an article in Time Magazine a while back about how Abraham is a central figure in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. I was intrigued to learn that the article states, “The Koran includes scenes from Abraham’s childhood in which he chides his father for believing in idols and survives, Daniel-like, in a fiery […]
