Chicken and egg debate unscrambled
May 29, 2006
Egg came first, ‘eggsperts’ agree
I disagree, just like my friend who sent me this article from CNN. Thanks Karl
1. There is no scientific proof that one type of animal produces a different type. Horses do not produce pigs.
2. I believe the Genesis story, which indicates that God made fully formed animals (just as Adam and Eve were adult not babies or fetuses) and then told them to go and multiply.

I’m Getting Baptised! YAY!!!!
May 24, 2006
I don’t know if this is more testimony or good news, but as some of you who already know who I am, know, I’m getting Baptised!!!
I’m so happy and have so many questions about what to expect (Haven’t met with our lovely Pastor Scott as yet, hopefully this week I will though). I am truly blessed though and wanted to thank all of you at Kanisa Fellowship for welcoming me with open arms into your family (even the very first time I walked through the doors of your Church as a perfect stranger!!).
I love each and every one of you dearly and could not imagine a day in my new life in Christ without you all! I look foward to learning new things and sharing them with the people I know and love who are not with us…YET!! I’m determined to bring my friends and family to meet my Kanisa Family.
Mary Magdalene and "The Da Vinci Code"
May 22, 2006
“The Da Vinci Code” especially misses the point about Mary when it makes its case that she was the bride of Christ. Both the novel and the film use as their evidence a gap-filled passage from the Gospel of Philip, a Gnostic Gospel of the second century. The passage reads as follows: “And the companion of the [gap] Mary Magdalene. [Gap] her more than [gap] the disciples [gap] kiss her [gap] on her [gap].” The gaps are maddening. Companion of whom? Loved her more than what? Kiss her where? But even if we fill in what seems to be the logical meaning—Jesus loved Mary more than the male apostles and kissed her on her mouth—the passage is less sensational than we might think. In the Gnostic tradition, kisses on the lips are not an erotic act but a chaste gesture meant to symbolize the passage of knowledge and spiritual truth. Elsewhere in the Gospel of Philip, Jesus also kisses his male disciples on the mouth. (If the makers of “The Da Vinci Code” wanted to interpret this act as erotic, they would no doubt be facing even more vehement protests from conventional Christians.) The passage is certainly significant, for it could imply that Jesus gave Mary special authority in his church. But “The Da Vinci Code” fails to make this point by mistaking the nature of Jesus’ kiss.
Da Vinci Code: Time to evangelize
May 16, 2006
Here’s an article in the Toronto Star about a group of Christian folks who’ll be handing out tracts to movie goers who are standing in line waiting to see The Davinci Code.
This is the reason why I’m really glad that The Davinci Code book exists. While some Christians will argue that it’s distracts people from God’s truth, for others, the book and now the movie is helping to bring people closer to God. And on top of that, Christians are searching the Bible for the truth to refute the claims made in Dan Brown’s fictional tale. And if it takes a book and a movie to prompt Christians to pick up their armour and renew their interest in the Bible, I’m all for it.
NO to Free Bibles in Schools
May 9, 2006
Did anyone see this article?
Free Bibles in schools stir controversy Toronto Star Apr. 29, 2006.

I do remember a time when giving the bible to students was a good thing. Our times have surely changed. How far should we take the gospel commission to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every person.” Matthew 28:16-20; Luke 24:44-49; John 20:21-23
I am not sure if I have a final position on this issue. My obvious bias is causing me to think that schools should not be off limits. Especially because the bibles are only given to students who request it. However, if I take that position then I should not have a problem with other types of religious literature being available on request. Hmmmm.

Da Vinci Code Week on History Channel
May 8, 2006
If you’re in Canada, you can watch Da Vinci Code Week on the History Channel. Monday and Tuesday’s broadcasts will be of particular interest, especially in debunking the myths found in this fictional, yet interesting piece of literature.
If you viewed any of the broadcasts on the History Channel, what did you think? Has it solidified your own faith?
Watch the Signboards
May 3, 2006
Hi
It seems like the sermon ‘Watch the Signboards’ at Kanisa on Sabbath April 29 has awaken an interest in the understanding of bible prophecy. I have received some questions and interesting comments since. I will not profess to know everything about the subject, but I have always had a keen interest in discussions about the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation.
To help you further in your study, check out: The Final Events of Bible Prophecy
Let us continue to study.
Today, I speak the blessing of discernment into your heart and mind.

Da Vinci Code: Building my faith
May 1, 2006
I read The Davinci Code.
Frankly, I couldn’t put the book down. I read it in 12-hours, from 7pm to 7am. The book is just that darn good. No wonder it’s been on the bestselling list for almost 2-years.
My sister urged me not to read it.
“Your faith will be challenged,” she said. “If you’re not strong in God, that book will cause you to question him even more.”
While many Christians denounce that book as being heretic, blasphemous and downright disgraceful, I see it as a wondrous way to build character in Christians. If we’re not challenged in what we believe, then our religion simply becomes a habit. And once a habit, it’s very hard to break.
