 From 1974 and until he passed away in June of 2005, Frank Caw devoted a considerable amount of time to research and study in Bible prophecy and related philosophical and theological issues. This website is dedicated by his family to his memory and work and is as he presented it at the time of his death. The family of Frank Caw, Jr. would like to thank Tim McHyde of EscapeAllTheseThings.com for hosting his website.
While always insisting on a plain, literal and sensible approach to scriptural exegesis,
he has pieced together many new scriptural insights on a number of extraordinary
prophetic developments that are poised to be fulfilled in our immediate
future!
Thus, it is safe to say that things are not going to happen the way many people think
they will happen.
But, this book will give you the scriptural keys for truly understanding what God has
preordained will happen, and how you can survive the incredible scenario of prophetic
events about to unfold! |
This ministry is dedicated to the loving memory of my
late wife, Debbie, who went to be in the presence of God on October 23, 1997, and who was
so instrumental in helping me to prepare for my ministry during those many long, difficult
years.

Why I Am A Bible-Believing
Christian
An Ipsos poll in 2006 found that 25% of adults believed it was at least "somewhat likely" that "Jesus Christ will return to Earth" in the coming year. Among white evangelical Christian adults, a whopping 46% believed this. Yet four years later Jesus still has not returned. Want to know why Jesus did not come in 2007, or any year since then and still won't come in 2011 (or anytime soon)? »» Read Featured Article
Sometimes I am asked why such a wide diversity of opinions exist on the subject of religion.
And I respond by saying we must remember that except for things such as self-existence and principles of math and logic, everything in reality must be evaluated on the basis of factual evidence and logical consistency to determine its degree of probability for being a truthful proposition or hypothesis.
This is evident because there is always the possibility of erroneous sensory perception for anything outside of the mind due to the separation of space or time between the "knower" and the "known."
Thus, all statements or assertions regarding matters of truth must be assessed for their degree of probability, and if their degree of probability is deemed sufficiently high, they can even be viewed with psychological certitude.
Hence, each person must exercise their God-given gift of free will by researching, carefully and honestly, all relevant evidence concerning any given issue, including religious truth. Obviously doing so will often require a major commitment in time and energy, and many people are not willing to do that.
But, the foremost explanation for the wide diversity in opinions involves the degree of determination that people possess when it comes to ascertaining and accepting Truth no matter what it may turn out to be.
In other words, their level of intellectual honesty often will fall short of the mark.
Because to be truly honest in our thinking, we must be willing to accept the truth no matter how much it may conflict with cherished beliefs or traditions or favorite theories.
Accordingly, I am a Bible-believing Christian because God has given us sufficient rational and factual evidence — within the realm of our magnificent world and universe and personal consciousness and the Christian Bible — to convince an intellectually-honest individual that Christianity's truth claims are true and valid.
Moreover, the Bible states that every person, regardless of their time or place in history, will be without excuse to one degree or another on Judgment Day.
Because due to the testimony of the world and universe — the incredible organized complexity of the astronomical and biological worlds, and the extraordinary personality of man and his conscience — he will be without excuse. (Romans 1 and 2).
Thus, every person will be judged according to their knowledge of, and consequential compliance with the truth; no one will have any basis for complaint on Judgment Day concerning their adjudged fate for eternity.
However, as Christians, we can also point to the pertinent evidence of history, science, ethics, values, and psychology as proof that biblical Christianity is objective truth (e.g., see Testing Christianity's Truth Claims by Gordan R. Lewis; Evidence That Demands A Verdict by Josh McDowell; or visit the website, Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry), and say that God, the Creator, is the ultimate reality and source of goodness.
As such, we can say that man has tremendous value and worth because we are made in God's image and likeness, and because God loved us so much that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. (Gen. 1:27, 31; 9:6) (James 3:9) (Ps. 8:3-8) (Matt. 6:26; 22:39) (I Cor. 6:20) (I Peter 1:18, 19) (John 3:16) (Eph. 5:30, 31) (Ps. 139:14).
Therefore, to paraphrase the apostle Paul (I Cor. 15), our Christian faith is not held in vain because the historical evidence attests that Jesus fulfilled, literally, more than 300 specific Old Testament scriptural predictions with His life, death and resurrection — including the historical fact that hundreds of honest, reliable eyewitnesses bore testimony to His resurrected existence before His literal ascension to Heaven.
Since the mathematical odds are so astronomically high that 300 such prophecies could all be fulfilled precisely as predicted on the basis of mere chance alone, we can hold our biblical Christian faith with complete confidence and psychological certitude.
Furthermore, almost immediately after its inception, Christianity spread like wildfire because it was so miraculous and amazing and good, with hundreds of honest and reliable eyewitnesses ready to proclaim the truth to anyone who would listen, while meek and timid disciples were suddenly transformed overnight into flaming apostles for Christ Jesus.
Obviously something very special and miraculous happened to cause all of these extraordinary developments.
Consequently, almost immediately after the birth of Christianity, at any given point in time thereafter, there was always a huge body of Christian believers — very honest and reliable and trustworthy individuals — who zealously guarded the accuracy and authenticity of their Christian faith, including the New Testament books that were written by the apostles Paul and Peter and John and others through Divine inspiration.
Any attempts to perpetrate fraudulent beliefs and writings that purported to be Divinely-inspired were always rejected by the vast majority of true Christian believers who were living at that point in time.
We even have thousands of ancient New Testament manuscripts that can be dated back to near the time of their original authorship.
Accordingly, we can trust our Christian Bibles with complete psychological certitude.
That is why I am a Bible-believing Christian.
