The problem of evil has been a hotly debated and discussed topic between Christians and non-Christians forever.

Cessationism is a theological belief that teaches that the gifts of the spirit (Prophecy, healings, words of knowledge, tongues, etc.) have ceased. We know it's more nuanced than that but in general, that's what it is. This is problematic because there is no indication in Scripture that the gifts will cease before Jesus has His second coming. More than that, the Bible explicitly commands u...

There was a Tiktok going around recently highlighting a church that had a mosque move in across the street from them.

Doja Cat's new song and music video "Demons" has everyone and their momma talking. Now, that might be the point - cause controversy to drive views. But it's also probably deeper than that. It's no secret that many believe people "Sell their souls" in order to get famous. Did Doja Cat do that? Is it even possible to sell your soul? What does the Bible say about it? E...

What makes gender? Is it what parts you're born with? Is it what you feel inside? Or is it something fluid or static? Or is it something pop-culture hasn't expected? The topic of LGB1Q and Tr@nsgenderism is a cultural moment for America and possibly even the world with a record number of individuals identifying with this community.

Ruslan recently went on the Whatever podcast to talk with a number of people, most of whom are either Onlyfans girls or full-on Cornstars. This led to a bunch of people either loving him or hating him for this move.

The idea of Bible Codes is that the Old Testament Hebrew contains secret information in the text that can predict future events and tell you about your life and destiny.

Not that the Bible on plain reading has accurate prophecie...
