A Body of Scientific Work

Here is a quote from the book 'Getting The Old Testament' by Steven L. Bridge, it is found in Chapter 1 on pages 11 & 12.: Given the tremendous disparity between these two-time tables {see previous paragraph} modern believers find themselves on the horns of a dilemma. Presumably, they must either side with Scripture and …

Open-Mindedness

Recently, I have been viewing the Penn & Teller show B.S. on you tube. Their show caught my eye as they are atheists who like to attack the Bible, Christianity and about all religious beliefs. Their show is interesting as far as getting their point of view but as I watched I was reminded of …

Leading The Way

The recent story about a family being stopped in their quest to adopt a small handicapped Russian child caught my eye. http://news.yahoo.com/mom-loses-russian-girl-weeks-adoption-150709061--abc-news-topstories.html {In case the yahoo link fails here is the title: 'Mom' Loses Russian Girl Weeks From Adoption} This is not an article about the fairness of justness on the part of the Russians …

An Update

The news is that Emanuel has let Dr. Rollston go, http://zwingliusredivivus.wordpress.com/2012/12/27/christopher-rollston-is-leaving-emmanuel-christian-seminary/ This news is good not that a person has lost their job or that a heretic was removed from teaching young believers but that the Seminary has stood with God and removed a false teacher from their midst.

As Advertised

The following was sent to me via e-mail and I do not normally read them but this one caught my eye. It makes a humorous but appropriate point as it reminds believers to act like we advertise. “The Light”…  The light turned yellow, just in front of him.  He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, …

A Lesson From the Good Samaritan-2

Not everyone in the church is called to be a missionary, pastor or church leader but that lack of professional calling does not make them any less important than those who are.  One is not more spiritual because they are sent to other countries, or lead to lead a church congregation or take a post …

Concerning Heretic Hunters and Trolls

A place I used to be able to post at has an article trying to define those wo terms for its readers. You can find their definitions here: http://unsettledchristianity.com/2012/12/dictionary-of-blogosphere-inhabitants-for-schpreacher/ But allow me to counter their ideas about these type of people they label in such harsh terms. First Heretic Hunters: These are slightly more than …

A Misconception by Science Supporters

Those that support secular science over creation have long-held to a misconception which distorts their view of the issue and makes them think that they alone are allowed to talk about science in relation to origins. In a post over at Unsettled Christianity we see this misconception demonstrated at its best http://unsettledchristianity.com/2012/12/totally-explains-the-young-earth-creationists-aig/ The author of …
