Overcoming and Chastisement
Recently in our discussion on the issue of lordship and its relationship to the gospel, someone asked if Ananias and Sapphira were an example of someone not overcoming, who was also saved. Something like, “they didn’t overcome and they were saved.” I understand what people’s problem is, but I don’t think it is a problem. […]
One Stop Shop on Prov 23:31 and “When It Is Red”
As far as “when it is red” (Prov 23:31) being a term for alcoholic, this is not a new teaching. Besides the Bibsac article in my third post on the prohibition on alcohol, and the work of Hebrew scholar Stephen Reynolds, there is more below. Here are some more links to look at. In my […]
Islam, Terror, and Phobia
I’m sitting at an intersection and I need to get somewhere. Two teen-aged boys, whose oversized and beltless trousers narrowly avoid the final descent to shoe-top, drag themselves through the pedestrian lane like two paralytics on their first day of physical therapy. I could honk the horn, but I don’t. Why? First, it’s counterproductive. They’ll […]
Read the Article in Forbes: “How Obama Thinks”
Here is an article by Dinesh D’Souza on what guides our present President in his agenda for the United States, entitled “How Obama Thinks.” It’s worth reading—very well documented.
My View of the War in Iraq
This might be hard to believe, but I watched this interview with Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of Great Britain, and I agreed to the “T” with what he said about the War on Terrorism. I didn’t find anything I disagreed with. I’m afraid I was surprised about that, but it is the truth. You […]
OUR BAD ECONOMY FOR DUMMIES
We have a bad economy. High unemployment. Terrible housing market. Skyrocketing deficits. Poor stock market. Tiny savings rate. Why? When President Clinton was president, after the Republican congress was elected in 1994, the economy produced budget surpluses. Clinton gets much of the credit for this. But was the economy really growing? Two things in particular […]
The Evil of Anti-Lordship Teaching
The noun doulos occurs 127 times in the New Testament. The verb form douleuo is used 25 occasions. In the King James, those two words are almost exclusively translated “servant” and “to serve.” Those are accurate translations. However, people often still miss what doulos and douleuo are about. As a result, they miss what is […]
Does the Bible Have a Play Button?
I’ve often said that what makes the music issue the most difficult is that the Bible doesn’t come with a play button, so we can’t push play to find the kind of music that God wanted. I’ve decided I’m wrong on that because of this post by Scott Aniol. There was enough instruction or information […]
Pants and Bible Versions: Do They Matter?
If you took the total population of the United States and its relationship to the Bible, and 100% was right and literal belief and practice of the Bible, then Dave Doran and Kevin Bauder would be with me in the 97-100% column. I know we’re more the same than different in comparison to everyone else. […]
Were Moslems Practicing their Religion on 9/11?
As almost everyone reading knows, Moslems are preparing to build a mosque a few blocks away from Ground Zero of 9/11 so that they can practice their religion there. A lot of people don’t think they should build their mosque there. Why not? Shouldn’t all religions be able to practice their religion freely in this […]
