Things for Tourists to do in San Francisco
I wrote (and somehat adjusted) the following for some friends that were visiting San Francisco recently. I believe it would be of use to you if you are going to play the tourist, and perhaps even if you live in the area. 1.) Enjoy each other’s company! 2.)

Cleverness
Every December I plan the calendar for the next year and we have a calendar Sunday the first Sunday of the year. After I get our church calendar set, which includes the school calendar, I start looking at my own calendar, my family calendar. I have a son in Oklahoma, a potential wedding of a […]
Is the Canon Really The Most Major Issue in Dealing with Roman Catholics?
Somebody tweeted to folks like myself that we needed to hear James White’s interview with Michael Kruger about the canon of scripture on his internet Dividing Line program. I am interested in canon issues. It’s an interesting subject. People who care about the Bible will think about it. I want to read a few of […]

A paleontologist goes searching for fossils with the idea that he’s going to find a missing link, some petrified skeleton that will fill his presupposition of naturalistic origins. He has predetermined a narrative without God and he goes looking for the “evidence” that will tell that story. He goes looking for what will “prove” […]

What Do the Multiple Version Men Leave Us With? pt. 2
Hopefully, I’ll get back to and then finish the unpopular music series starting next week. In the meantime, I wanted to write one more thing on the multiple version issue that I approached on Monday. ################## Sinaiticus is being questioned based upon extra-scriptural evidence. The debate is extra-scriptural. Did Constantine Simonides forge the manuscript? There is […]

If I were to rank the recent stir-ups that related to the Bible, as to national interest, they would be the following: (1) Duck Dynasty Phil Robertson’s homosexuality comments, (2) John MacArthur’s Strange Fire Conference, (3) NCFIC Holy Hip-Hop panel discussion, and (4) Mark Driscoll charged with plagiarism for several of his books. If I […]

D. 180-185,[i] while discussing the reading “666” concerning the mark of the beast and the presence of a variant reading of “616,”[ii] stated: 1.
