According to Revelation, "the Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth." What are these spirits? And why are the seven of them?

The following is a letter to my local MP, asking for him to vote agains the proposed Abortion Bill 2020. It explores the poor rationale provided for the proposed Abortion Bill.

A questioner points to a potential contradiction within the Christian worldview, namely, a long pre-history prior to Christ's atoning work on the cross and God's loving desire to provide humanity a solution for sin. Here is my response.

Evidence for Jesus as an historical figure from non-biblical sources.

"It is fair to say that mythicists as a group, and as individuals, are not taken seriously by the vast majority of scholars in the fields of New Testament, early Christianity, ancient history, and theology. This is widely recognized, to their chagrin, by mythicists themselves."
~ Bart Ehrman, Did Jesus Exist?

Jesus asked "Who do you say I am?" Muslims respond "You are Isa." 

What do Muslims believe about Isa? And what does the Qur'an contribute to the search for the historical Jesus?

What if it works? What about the testimonies? 

My recent series on Robert Henderson’s book Operating in the Courts of Heaven, which presents a new model of intercessory prayer, engendered some discussion where some points of clarification and matters of practical application were needed.

Concluding the series are my conclusions and recommendations about Robert Henderson's book Operating in the Courts of Heaven, which presents an alternative model of intercessory prayer.

The courtroom trial of Simon-Peter. 

This is an example of how not to do biblical exegesis: have an idea of what the text is saying and squeeze your interpretation between the lines.

Is Romans 8:29-30 a five stage process for operating in the courts of heaven, as Robert Henderson claims, or is it an 'unbroken chain' securing salvation?

The parable of the persistent widow. 

Robert Henderson usually begins his presentations, including his book Operating in the Courts of Heaven, with this parable, suggesting the clue to effective prayer it offers is that it takes place in a judicial setting. What does this passage of scripture really teach? Does it confirm his courtroom model of prayer?
