An Examination of the Phrase “The Lord’s Day”
I found it necessary to tweak this post, which I published one year ago, on August 5, 2025, and therefore am re-publishing it as a new post. Among the more important phrases that we need to consider regarding the cacophonous cataclysm that will take place at the end of time [Please cf. https://the-dragon-is-slain.com/2024/12/03/the-roar-of-war-the-roar-of-death-and-the-roar-of-victory-the-eternal-sons-roar-was-heard-once-and-will-be-heard-once-more-are-you-ready/ ] is…

Subject: Regarding Sunday to be “the Lord’s Day,” i.e., the Day on which Yeshua Rose from the Grave
I believe every Christian desires to know Jesus Christ (Yeshua ha Moshiach, i.e., our Promised Salvation/Deliverance/Freedom) to the fullest extent possible. I also believe that this desire has been thwarted, not by the teachings of outlier sects or cults that may have brought some confusion to the minds of believers; rather, by the teachings of…

A Layman’s View of Supra- vs Infralapsarianism as Based on Paul’s “Vessels of Wrath” and “Vessels of Mercy” in Romans 9
Not having received formal theological training, nor having read systematic theology in a diligent manner, I feel inadequate to attempt a bifurcation of the concepts of supra- vice infralapsarianism.

The Miracle That Is Israel, The Apple of God’s Eye – Take #2
Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens initially, followed by Carlson’s interview with Texas Senator, Ted Cruz, have blown wide open the issue of antisemitism as it relates to the ‘Church.’ The word ‘church’ itself is a misnomer, but I will use it since it serves as the unwitting baseline for those identifying as Christians, among whom…
