Why didn't He say something?

Sometimes silence says a lot, and other times people read too much into it.

I have met challenges on four areas to do with Jesus' supposed failure to speak. Three of them are moral issues, which we will look at now, and one is theological, which we will look at in a later blog post.

Follow the science, save lives!

The message that is being heralded day and daily from our government is that we need to pay attention to the scientific data regarding the coronavirus, and by following the science we will save lives.

Death wish

In Ireland we have seen the referendum result greeted with carnival-like glee. Just remember they are celebrating the legal right they now have to kill the most innocent and defenceless of the human race.

A person's a person, no matter how small.

There is a referendum this Friday in the Republic of Ireland on the issue of abortion. We could all learn an important lesson from Dr Suess.

Sickening irony

This is very powerful and clever piece by a pro-life group taking President Obama's comments following the Sandy Hook massacre and showing how they are so condemning of his abortion policy. See it here.

Is there anyone in there?

The slaughter of the innocents

I have heard an objection to Matthew's account of the slaughter of the children in Bethlehem.
