The Authority of the Bible

The church world has come to the point where they have to make a decision. To believe and accept God's word as true and above all else or to accept  secular world's ideas about the world and how it should be run. Far too many people who claim to follow Christ compromise their beliefs, their …

The Continuing Saga

Since the anti-evolutionary article was published e-mails came in with their opposition to the content. One letter turned into a week long discussion and another asked the author to clarify certain points.

Supernatural v. Historical Critical Method

On his blog, Dr. James Tabor has placed a couple articles dealing with the supernatural aspect of history. They can be found here: http://jamestabor.com/2012/06/23/rejecting-the-supernatural-2/ and here: http://jamestabor.com/2012/06/22/why-the-category-of-the-supernatural-makes-no-sense/ Now I am not a big fan of Dr. Tabor's as he has done a lot of questionable things recently, including teaming up with S.

Modesty & Authority

Cher must be the original entertainer who really pushed the limits on dressing immodestly in public.  I say must be because i am not sure, it is not a topic of interest to me who was first to try to break down the barriers leading to indecent exposure. But one thing can be certain, more …

Equality, Submissiveness & Feminism

It seems that for some women, the only decision a woman can make is the feminist one. In other words, those women who choose to take care of their husbands, who choose to be submissive are not really making a choice but are down trodden, consider subserviant, and 2nd class.  That is not so but …

Faith & NT Scholars

Academic freedom

I placed the following comment over at another weblog site: http://sheffieldbiblicalstudies.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/academic-freedom-christian-universities-and-secular-universities/#comment-682 The problem with a majority of educators is that they are focusing on 'academic freedom' not God's word or God's reality. First, we all know that secular universities do not allow true academic freedom. If that were so, evolution woul dnot be the only …
