A Christian View on topical subjects

A look at the assertion that Jesus 'was' a Palestinian. We look into the origin of the place name 'Palestine'. When that word was first applied and why the Roman's chose that name for the land where the Jews had lived. Did the Romans use the Latin word for 'the land of the Philistines' in order to help erase the Jewish connection to the land? We also look at Jesus genealogy and statements about himself to see if he is a Jew from the land of Israel.

How can we explain how governments of the world 'responded' to Covid? Does Christianity or Secularism provide a better explanatory framework for understanding how the world 'responded' to Covid. Many people have been shocked by the way governments, public health authorities, the media and the scientific and medical establishment responded to Covid. Observing what has happened has shaken the assumptions that many have held about the world around them. Which of the prominent worldviews would've been better at predicting what happened. The secular 'scientific' worldview states that as the advanced western world discards superstition and religion we will increasingly see a world where decisions are rational and based on reason and evidence.
