Ignorance and stupidity has led to an increasing number of deaths from COVID.

Pastor Tim Parsons died with COVID-19

Tim Parsons, pastor of Center Point Church in Lexington, Kentucky, died of COVID two weeks after catching it after Parsons ridiculed it on the church’s webpage.1 On its FAQ page the church screamed: “We don’t want to be worried because the Bible tells us not to worry. We know that God is in control and He can use all suffering to draw people to Himself. … We can also look for opportunities to turn Coronavirus conversations into gospel conversations.” All the prayers and fasting did not save Tim Parsons.2

Biblical Plagiarism

The sage, savant, and scholar Paul Pearson, my friend, has a new blog (https://pearsonally.com) that I recently commented on in brief concerning Ben Carson 1. Carson, currently Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and neurosurgeon and devout Seventh Day Adventist is a biblical literalist who has no knowledge of ancient pre-Biblical or biblical languages, yet pontificates on a wide range of Bible myths concerning ancient Egypt (soundly pointed out by Pearson). Carson does not offer a shred of historical evidence to support his wild claims from “Joseph built the pyramids” and the pyramids were “built in order to store grain” since “many chambers [were] are hermetically sealed”...

In the ancient Hebrew within the Old Testament: kohen (כהן), a word which is most likely Old Anatolian (Turkish) in origin. The word or priest in Greek is Hiereus: ιερεύς (of south African origin). The Latin in sacer...
