INDEX FOR WHAT IS TRUTH

My Vaccine, Etc. Take

This is my take on the Covid-19 vaccine, etc. In 2020-21 Brother Ross has written everything on vaccines and conspiracies on his day on Fridays.  I wish they weren’t controversial, but I knew they would be and I know they are. I allowed all of them.  I’m fine with the position he takes.  He’s never […]

Ranking the Worst Things Happening In a Given Year

Someone said that they don’t like 2022 because it’s 2020 two times.  Get it.  Twenty-twenty two.  Twenty-twenty two-times.  They were being funny. I remember when we got the call that said we had to cancel school and in a real hurry in March 2020.  We went to zoom classes.  Putting an entire school on zoom […]

What Does God Say Is Cured By the New Covenant? The Blame Game

People have their favorite verses in the Bible, beloved ones they commit to memory.  They know them well.  Every verse, every word of the Bible is important, but there are key passages in it.  If you think of Jeremiah, certain texts stand out.  One of those is Jeremiah 31:31-34, the classic location for the new […]

Can Anyone Be Effeminate? Consider the Chinese

As I begin to write this post, it feels like something canceled on twitter, youtube, and facebook.  No one must think this or this way.  It must not be said or written.  Perhaps a future reeducation camp in store for someone who crosses this boundary. I was speaking this week to someone from China and […]

The Conflicting, Perplexing Calvinistic Doctrine of Free Will (Part Four)

Part One   Part Two   Part Three A Hebrew word for “repent” in the Old Testament is nocham and it’s mainly used of God.  It first appears in Genesis 6:6:  “And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”  The Old Testament makes those kinds of […]

Pragmatism, Playing Games, and “Recovering from Fundamentalism”

If you look at a picture of the attendees of a professional baseball game during the 1940s, you see the crowd filled with men in suits and ties.  I don’t know if they called them fans then, but were they legalists?  Anyone who would wear a suit and tie to a baseball game must be […]

The Conflicting, Perplexing Calvinistic Doctrine of Free Will (Part Three)

Part One     Part Two Part of the confidence and tone of certainty about predetermination and free will seems to come from ambiguity that conflicts and perplexes.  A Calvinist will talk to you with a look of absolute conviction.  It’s as if he’s bluffing.  He knows something you don’t know and you can’t see.  You’re […]

The Conflicting, Perplexing Calvinistic Doctrine of Free Will (Part Two)

Part One Calvinists say that other systems limit God’s sovereignty or control.  Apparently when those systems assign to man free will, they limit God’s sovereignty.  Instead of God being in total charge, man is partly in charge.  Calvinists would also say this means that in salvation, ostensibly man is getting involved to the degree that […]

The Conflicting, Perplexing Calvinistic Doctrine of Free Will

As I started to write this post, I thought about whether I decided to write it or whether God predetermined my writing it.  After the smoke exited and cleared my ears, I started writing again.  Are my fingers typing on their own? Okay, so here’s how it seems to me.  I’m just reporting.  I recently […]

Yes and Then No, the Bible with Mark Ward (part two)

Earlier this week, I wrote part one concerning two separate videos posted by Mark Ward.  The second one I saw first, and since my name was mentioned, I answered.  He cherry-picks quotes without context.  Ward made what he thought was a good argument against the Textus Receptus. In part one, I said “yes” to his […]
