1 Samuel 28:15 – Life Beyond Life?
During the reign of Saul, there was little he did that pleased the Lord. One such act that could have been a positive for him in God’s eyes, but turned out poorly, revolved around witchcraft. Multiple times Saul disobeyed the command of Yahweh. The prophet in 1 Samuel 15:23 laid this out specifically for Saul:…

Judges 9:56-57 – Lethal Curses
Throughout the Old Testament, we see various curses being pronounced; some are by men, some by God. What we also typically see is a fulfillment of those curses. So, are curses real, and something we should be concerned about today? The account of Gideon with his victory over the Midianites ends poorly. God raised up…

God has made it abundantly clear in His revelation that the practice of divination is forbidden, yet in Genesis 44:5 the text tells us this about Joseph: “Is it not from this that my lord [Joseph] drinks, and by this that he practices divination? You have done evil in doing this.’” A few verses later…
More Q Quandaries
I like Q. That said, I have serious Biblical reservations about Q’s end game, as I’ve previously detailed. (Here is one such post: http://garyritter.com/the-q-quandary-part-1/.) The bottom line for me is that in the natural, from a political and cultural perspective, Q is doing some very good things. He has exposed the Deep State for the…
The Q Quandary – Part 2
In Part 1 of The Q Quandary, I described how Christians can be deceived in following Q without exercising wisdom and discernment. The reason for this is because the outcome that Q espouses is exactly the same as what the New Age / New Gnostic community believes will happen. Their expectation is that once Q…
The Q Quandary – Part 1
The rise of Q and his public resistance against the Deep State has sent its globalist-minded minions into a frenzy. Social media—when they even allow posts about Q—usually place warning labels to the effect that Q is an unproven tool of those who hold to far-right conspiracy theories. Q has united people of many different…
Idols: Then & Now
In our westernized, Christian worldview, the idols of old made of stone and wood make little sense. We wonder how the peoples of the Ancient Near East (ANE) could be so foolish as to think that a statue of some sort was worthy of worship. How stupid could they have been back in those days? …
