Veteran’s Day: Actual Sounds of World War One
On October 9, 1918, a British sound engineer, Will Gaisberg, with primitive equipment recorded immediately behind a unit of the Royal Garrison Artillery the sounds of a gas-shell bombardment. He determined to preserve the noise of war before the coming armistice caused it to vanish forever. Only ten WW1 soldiers survive the Great War, including […]
If You Believe in Canonicity, You Can and Should Believe in Preservation
The front of my Bible says sixty-six books. I grew up with that number in my head because I had never seen otherwise—thirty-nine Old Testament, twenty-seven New Testament. As far as I’m concerned, the canon of Scripture, the number of books is settled. However, it has not been without controversy in history. Martin Luther doubted […]
Watch This and Tell Me What You Think
I have taught American Government three or four times and this is Government 101. That we can’t get anything definitive about this boggles my mind. As a bonus, see this Palin rally appearance in Raleigh, NC. At 1:56 in this video, we get an appearance of our friend Tim Dunkin with his wife being interviewed. […]
A Stanley Kurtz Election Wrap-Up: All You Really Need to Know
No one out there has done better work on this presidential campaign than NRO’s Stanley Kurtz. He has worked feverishly and accurately. Unfortunately, very few listened, it seems. The electorate may have reached a tipping point. It’s much easier to dumb down a society than the alternative. Here’s Kurtz’ last pre-election article. Read it.
Share Your Own Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich, Obama
Yesterday in a speech on the campaign trail, Senator Obama ad-libbed this: By the end of the week, he’ll be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my — I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Use whatever cliche you want, but this could be […]
The Bank Crisis for Dummies
Hi. We had a stock market crash. On October 9, 2007, the Dow Jones industrial average reached a record 14,164. Exactly one year later, October 9, 2008, the Dow closed at 8,579. The United States stock market lost 39.4%. What happened? Why is the economy in such bad condition that the U.S. Congress just voted […]
Obama and Infanticide, Let Alone Obama and Abortion
If anyone wants to talk about civil rights, he should talk about the most helpless individual in society, the unborn child, still in his mother’s womb. If we will not speak out for these, then we should speak out for no one. But what about children successfully born, surviving child birth, alive outside of the […]
Thy Myth of Born Homosexuals
Bible-believing Christians don’t think that anyone is born homosexual, but people in the world often talk like that’s fact. It isn’t. Research by scientists has not revealed biological or genetical homosexuality. Studies have shown the opposite. Science reveals that no one is born homosexual. The scientific research indicates that homosexuality is caused by environmental and […]
Criticizing Professor Wallace part four
Fifteen years ago Professor Daniel Wallace from Dallas Theological Seminary wrote the essay, “Inspiration, Preservation, and New Testament Textual Criticism.” In this now four part series, I have essentially, based upon Wallace’s recommendation, answered that article. I have contended that perfect preservation of God’s Word is both the Scriptural and the historic doctrine. He sent […]
Criticizing Professor Wallace part three
In 1991 Grace Theological Seminary of Winona Lake, IN published a book, New Testament Essays in Honor of Homer A. Kent, Jr, in honor of their longtime professor. Included in that book and then later reproduced in the Grace Theological Journal from Winona Lake, IN was an article written by Wallace entitled, “Inspiration, Preservation, and […]
