The Leaven of Herod, Homosexuality, and Albert Mohler
The Christian Science Monitor on March 24, 2011 quoted Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky: We’ve lied about the nature of homosexuality and have practiced what can only be described as a form of homophobia. . . . We’ve used the ‘choice’ language when it is clear that sexual orientation […]
Sundries, Including the Debt Ceiling and a P90x Update
Imagine this scenario with me. I have a credit card with a credit limit. I rack up a huge credit card bill all the way up to my debt ceiling and I don’t pay it back. Not only do I not pay it back, but I incur even more debt. What do I do about […]
Presuppositionalism, the Fool, Irony, and the Perfect Preservation of Scripture
Recently I had a multi-versionist throw Proverbs 26:4 at me, implying why it is he couldn’t answer some simple questions of mine. The implication was that I was a fool whom he couldn’t answer. He wrote it in Hebrew so that most people at his blog wouldn’t know what he wrote. Here it is in […]
Palin and Paul Revere
Someone confronted former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin in a downtown Boston shop and asked her about what she learned there in Boston, and she said: We saw where Paul Revere hung out as a teenager, which was something new to learn. And you know, he who warned the British, that they weren’t going to be […]
The Connection Between One’s World View and the Version Issue
Several days ago I wrote a post about logic and King James Onlyism in answer to a critic at another blog. After writing that, someone a few days later wrote a whole post attacking the one I had written. Very few King James supporters wander over there because of the juvenile nature of the major […]
When I Left Fundamentalism Part Ten
Over a year ago now, I did a series at Jackhammer on evangelicalism and fundamentalism (pt. 1, p. 2, pt. 3). You should check it out. In the third part, I wrote this: For pastors, scripture has isolated the Lord as the one to please. Yet, you won’t likely feel that approval of the Lord. […]
“We’re on the Verge of a Great, Great Depression”
This is something I’ve thought for awhile and wondered if I’m just being pessimistic. We’re lying to ourselves as a country and we’ve been lying to ourselves for a few decades, one economic bubble popping after another. Put on your seatbelts.
Check These Out
I’ve taught history for over 20 years, and government and economics as well. Here are two columnists I’ve enjoyed reading during that time and two of their recent columns that are very interesting and representative of what they have written. Enjoy.Thomas Sowell Shelby Steele
What About Logic and King James Onlyism?
On a fundamentalist blog comment thread, someone wrote this: On a side note, I am curious about the “logic” of taking “logic” lessons from anyone in the KJV only camp. Seems a little “illogical” don’t you think? Nobody answered his question, so I will. A King James Only position is the only logical position to […]
Evangelical or Fundamentalist Pharisaism part two
The Pharisees were religious liars. We live in a world of lies. Satan is a liar and he also happens to be the prince of this world, so we can expect there to be lies everywhere. That’s why none of us can be naive. Recently we watched the Harold Camping fiasco in which he told […]
