Was the Church Wrong about the Meaning of Verbs in Scripture?
Some readers might be discouraged by the content of this post. Please work your way through it. Don’t be stopped by the use of some words that you don’t know. Get the most out of it as possible. Recent discussions here and elsewhere have brought to my attention a debate about the understanding of the […]
Thoughts on Single Federal Judge Overturning State Constitution on Marriage
Yesterday a federal judge ruled (full ruling) that an amendment to the California state constitution passed by the California voters, which defined marriage as solely between a man and a woman, was unconstitutional. Peculiar to the case is that the judge himself, Judge Walker, professes to be homosexual. Here are some key statements from his […]
This Woman Is Running for Re-election In My State
Is this a person that we want in the Senate of the United States? She can’t answer a simple question about an important issue. Notice that games she plays with language. Does anyone in the world want this kind of person to be in a position of power? Also witness the fact that she defines […]
Jobs Saved?
The President of the United States can’t create or really even save jobs. At best a president can get out of the way of innovative, hard-working people to allow them to create and save jobs. I get my news online and I noticed that when the President made an appearance on The View, he was […]
More on “It Is Written”
When you read “it is written” in the New Testament, what tense of verb does that sound like to you? Does it sound past? No. Does it sound present? Yes. But is it present? No. It’s actually a perfect tense verb. It’s also passive. If it were translated how a Greek student is taught in […]
Aaron on TSKT, part four
It’s now a month or two ago that Aaron Blumer, the owner of the blog-forum, SharperIron, wrote the fourth, and, it seems, final installment of a series in which he criticizes the content of the book, Thou Shalt Keep Them (TSKT). I’m going to evaluate that fourth post paragraph by paragraph and in certain cases, […]
How Does Levi’s Feast for Jesus Apply to Evangelistic Methodology?
Luke 5:27-32 records the account of Jesus’ eating with sinners: 27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me. 28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him. 29 And Levi made him a great feast […]
Perfect Tense Preservation
by David Sutton June 16, 2010 Aaron Blumer completed a four-part series on perfect-text preservation. He stated that the Bible teaches preservation but not in a word-perfect form and not to be found in an identifiable text. His final installment included critiques from several chapters from Thou Shalt Keep Them (TSKT), including two chapters that […]
This Is Not Jack Hyles
Are we to think this is “gospel centered” and “God focused?” Is this bait and switch here? Is this just something done for the community, a gift to the community? Is this a legitimate form of “evangelistic outreach?” People in the world aren’t going to be attracted by God and the Bible. They “need” something […]
Have Pastors Been Lying about the Bible’s Application to Cultural Issues? That’s What Tim Jordan Says
Recently Pastor Tim Jordan among others was invited as a main speaker for the national conference of the General Association of Regular Baptists (GARBC). This was considered to be a big deal to the GARBC because Jordan isn’t GARBC. He’s the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church of Lansdale, PA, where is Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary, […]
