Why Wealth Distribution (Socialism) Does Not Work
Recently, I was speaking with someone who began to say that the ultra wealthy do not pay enough in taxes. The individual then asked me (as a tax professional) for my opinion on this issue. In the last few months, you have no doubt been aware that the amount of income...
Evolution, Communism and Christianity
In this post, we will consider evolution and, in particular, its role in Communism and how it is differentiated from Christ and Christianity. Evolution is purported to be a scientific theory on the origin of the universe and is commonly credited to Charles Darwin....
Only A Strong Church Stands in the Way of Communism
This post is a bit long, but I trust you will find it worth reading. In the United States, both the church’s influence and a Biblical belief in God on the individual level have been declining for quite some time. Many will point to the 1960s as the beginning point,...

Dispensationalism Part 5
Part of the dispensationalist literal view of Israel parallel to the church is a concept known as replacement theology. Replacement theology was created as a negative connotation against mainstream theology because the understanding for centuries has been that Israel...
Dispensationalism Part 4
One of the very serious problems with a dispensationalist interpretation of Messianic prophecy is that a number of Isaiah’s prophecies are quoted in the New Testament either about Christ or about the mission of the church. In Matthew 3:3 and 4:14, for example, the...
