What is the millennium? What is the difference between
pre-millennialism, amillennialism, and post-millennialism? Which one of these fits the Bible’s
teachings best? Let’s first define and
explain what the millennium is and what will happen during it. That is the foundation for beginning to
understand pre-millennialism and post-millennialism. This essay will defend the truth of pre-millennialism
as against post-millennialism.

Are
most people predestined to go to hell?
Is "once saved, always saved"
true? Did Jesus die only for saved
Christians and not for the whole world?
The theological system of Calvinism
traditionally has claimed that the Bible
teaches that most people have no choice
about whether they will be saved or
not because of God's utter sovereignty.
This essay makes a basic case
against Calvinism, although it makes
a few concessions in its direction.
Overall, this essay defends the
viewpoint of Arminianism, which emphasizes
humanity's free will.

Are
you allowed to prove God's existence?
Should Christians avoid trying
to prove the Bible and God's existence
to skeptics? The school of Christian
apologetics called "presuppositionalism"
argues that Christians shouldn't do
this, but these essays show that belief
is mistaken.

Whitewash!
Islam's hidden history exposed!
Is
Islam really a "religion of peace"?
Do poverty, ignorance, and oppression explain
why Muslims on average are more apt
to resort to non-state terrorism? Have
Muslims always been the victims of "Christian"
Crusades and Western imperialism throughout
history? Or have Muslim nations
been frequently guilty of launching
jihads and aggressive wars of conquest
of their own? Are crusades evil, but
jihads good? If "equal
opportunity" conquest by many different
civilizations has happened historically,
why is the West being unfairly
singled out for excessive criticism
on this issue? Can non-Western
civilizations also be imperialistic? Is
the modern State of Israel, the product
of the Zionist movement, a uniquely
sinful and illegitimate state? Does
its very existence violate God's law
more than any other nation's existence?
Is the self-determination the
ultimate political value that overrides
all others? Click on the essay

Who was better off on average in 1830? A
black slave living in the American South or an English farmworker?
Who had the higher standard of living? Who had the better
quality of life? How did the sexual division of labor affect
both groups? How did the respective ruling classes keep
control of the slaves and farmworkers? How did the slaves
and farmworkers resist their respective masters? While
citing many primary and secondary historical sources, this
document carefully compares and contrasts these two groups
while describing the way they lived and worked on an everyday basis.
Part of the original form of this document (roughly the
first fourth) was accepted as an M.A. thesis in history at Michigan
State University in 1997. This kind of history writing shows
how falsely Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind"
portrays the slaves' conditions while it romanticizes nostalgically
the antebellum South.
