New Research: Homophobia takes years off your life - being a good Christian adds it back

In what turns out to be another case of propaganda slipped to the public under the guise of serious scientific research, a Columbia University research team has released a new research paper which concludes that homophobia shaves years off your life – 2.5 years to be exact. Their stated solution of course, is for society to accept homosexuality as an acceptable moral behavior in order to improve the health of the overall population. Here’s what’s wrong with their study.

The Birth of Jacob and Esau (Genesis 25:19 - 25:26)

After a quick peek at Ishmael’s genealogical record, the Bible now turns back to the family line of Abraham and Isaac. We are reminded that Abraham was the father of Isaac who, at 40 years of age, married Rebekah. After 20 years of marriage, Isaac prayed for a child and God answered the call. Rebekah became pregnant.

Ishmael's sons (Genesis 25:12 - 25:18)

Ishmael lived to be 137 years old. His sons and their families settled in the area from Havilah to Shur, along the eastern border of Egypt. The passage notes that the “lived in hostility” towards the other tribes they were related to.

The genealogy of Jesus

The genealogy of Jesus is described in two different passages of the New Testament – one in the Gospel of Luke and the other in the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew’s attempt at recording the genealogy of Jesus commences with Abraham and then begins again from King David and his son Solomon through the legal line of the kings via Jeconiah to Joseph. Luke’s attempt gives a different genealogy, going back to Adam, through Nathan, a minor son of David, and again to Joseph. The lists are identical between Abraham and David, but differ from that point onward.

The death of Abraham (Genesis 25:1 - 25:11)

In later age, Abraham took a new wife, Keturah who bore him six sons, including some lines which would become significant (and enemies of Isaac) in later chapters – the Ashurites (Assyrians), Letushites, Midianites, Shuhites, and Leummites. Abraham left everything to Isaac and gave gifts to his remaining sons and sent them away to land in the east.

A wife for Isaac (Genesis 24:1 - 24:67)

Abraham was an advanced age when he asked his servant to swear he would find a wife for his son Isaac and that he not get a wife for Isaac from the Canaanites (from the area where Abraham was living at the time) but would instead travel to his old country to find a wife for his son. The servant...

Sorry Science Daily - your propaganda that camels could not exist in Moses' time is sadly illogical

Recent findings from a Tel Aviv University study used radiocarbon dating to “pinpoint the moment when domesticated camels arrived in the southern Levant”. According to their findings, camels did not arrive in the Eastern Mediterranean until 900 BCE, far later than the age of Moses when camels were first mentioned in the Bible. Take what they claim with a grain of salt. Remember, these same scholars once argued that writing was unknown during the time of Moses – an argument that they have since retracted after evidence was found proving writing existed long before Moses walked the earth.

Cloudy U.N. report suggests Vatican purposefully adopted policies promoting molestation of children

According to a U.N. human rights committee, the Vatican “systematically” adopted policies that allowed priests to rape and molest tens of thousands of children over decades. The committee urged the Holy See to open its files on pedophiles and bishops who concealed their crimes. The report, which took the Vatican by surprise in its harsh tone, puts renewed pressure on Pope Francis to move decisively on the abuse front and make good on pledges to create a Vatican commission to study sex abuse and recommend best practices to fight it.
