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 […]
Evangelical or Fundamentalist Pharisaism
Evangelicals like to label who is a Pharisee. Not them, of course. Usually it’s someone who has different standards than they do. I ask you to consider the following with this regard. In Luke 11, Jesus was invited to lunch with a Pharisee. He went and sat himself down without the ceremonial hand-washing required by […]
Family Radio: Non Prophet, But Plenty of Profit
We can’t believe everything we see or hear from the mainstream news media, but CBS reported that in 2002, Harold Camping and Family Radio were worth $22,695,306. This non-profit organization, in 2008 was now worth $117,634,384. And then you read that they spent only one million dollars on advertising for the end of the world […]
