Are Miracles in the Gospels contrary to Historical Evidence?

The four Gospels report a number of miracles that Jesus performed when with his disciples. Certain scholars point to these miracles as evidence against the Gospels having historical information. Did Jesus really heal blind and lame people and cast out demons from possessed individuals?According to Dr. Craig Keener, we should not exclude such reports that come from “eyewitness material,” from contemporaries who experienced Jesus as an exorcist and healer of various ailments

Is Lady Liberty (Columbia) the "Great Prostitute" of Prophecy Residing in Washington D.C., the Revived Roman Empire to Fall During the "Last Days"?

Last month (November, 2023), I wrote an article where I identified the name of the head demon I believed represented the USA today, which is "Columbia", a female deity that also goes by "Lady Liberty" or "Freedom" in modern times since the USA was founded in 1776. In ancient times she has been known by other names, such as “Ashtoreth”, a female fertility "god" known in Old Testament times, or "Artemis", the name she was given in the New Testament times under the rule of the ancient Roman empire. Another manifestation of this demon of the United States of America is in the "Statute of Freedom" which stands tall on top of the U.S. Capitol dome in Washington D.C., where members of the U.S. Congress meet in the legislative branch of the U.S. government. Latin was the language of the former Roman Empire, and the District of Columbia in the United States is full of these Latin phrases, as well as Roman architecture. Is there really any doubt that the United States is the "revived Roman Empire" which many believe is prophesied in the Bible to be the "Great Prostitute", or that Washington D.C. is at the seat of Freemasonry and Satanism in the world today? If so, what does biblical prophecy say is going to happen to this "Beast" and the "Great Prostitute" in the "last days"?

The Tower of Babel, Archaeology, & Linguistics

Prominent online atheist anti-theist Jonathan M. S. Pearce, who runs the blog, A Tippling Philosopher (1), provides an example of the fairly standard I approach the tower of Babel story in Genesis 11 with the goal of seeking to understand which aspects of it can be verified by secular archaeology and linguistics.

How Mick Jagger points me to Jesus

Perhaps Huxley and Jagger are prophets with the same message.  A quote often attributed to G. K. Chesterton captures it well: “Meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain, but it comes from being weary of pleasure.”
