IF IT’S NOT CONSISTENT, IT’S NOT THE TRUTH (Part Four)
Fundamentalists and evangelicals say that we don’t separate over everything in God’s Word. Evangelicals hardly to never teach separation. Fundamentalists argue about what doctrines and practices are worth separating over. Conservative evangelicals and fundamentalists become angry if you say that they don’t want to practice all of God’s Word. Think about it this way. Does […]
IF IT’S NOT CONSISTENT, IT’S NOT THE TRUTH (Part Three)
Whoever is reading this I might assume believes in one God in tune with Deuteronomy 6:4: “The LORD our God is one LORD.” We don’t worship two gods, but One. Consistent with the unity of the Godhead is the unity of the teachings of Scripture. God doesn’t contradict Himself; neither does His Word. Among all […]
IF IT’S NOT CONSISTENT, IT’S NOT THE TRUTH (Part Two)
Doctrines that contradict each other cannot both be true. They can both be false or only one true, but not both true. Scriptural doctrines can’t contradict each other. When they do, something is wrong in the interpretation. The correct understanding of separation will not deny a Biblical view of unity. Scriptural separation and unity harmonize […]
IF IT’S NOT CONSISTENT, IT’S NOT THE TRUTH (Part One)
The One and Only Consistent Scriptural Position ThatHarmonizes Separation and Unity I have stopped blogging. OK. That’s not possible or you wouldn’t be reading this. I can’t be both writing this blog and not writing this blog. As you analyze what might seem fairly obvious, you can designate this the law of the excluded middle. […]
A Case Study on Jesus’ Teaching from Scripture
The Lord Jesus Christ had just devastated the attack of the Pharisees and Herodians in Mark 12:12-17. Then came along the Sadducees and Jesus ended His session with them in 12:18-27 by saying this in vv. 26, 27: And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, […]
A Good Sign the NFL Season Is Here
I was just taking one day at a time until they started playing one game at a time. I know that the NFL Season is here because now they’re not just talking the talk, but their walking the walk. Some players need to start putting their money where their mouth is, since they’ve already been […]
A Defense of Barry Bonds: My One and Only Defense
First, A Little History Growing up, I collected baseball cards. I still have them. A few of my little league baseball coaches would give us a dime if we won our game, and ten cents would buy a pack of Topps baseball cards with a flat piece of dry bubble gum attached to one of […]
So Does the Bible Mean What It Says About Itself, Or?
I didn’t want a longer title, but if I did, it would have ended like this, “Or Are We Required to Look at Historical Material to Verify What It Says about Itself?” A lot of individuals deny inspiration. Michael Baigent is a man, very well educated in theology and he does. Bart Ehrman (scroll down […]
The Third Rail of Fundamentalist Politics
You’ve heard of the third rail of politics. Social Security. Anyone who deals with the Social Security issue touches the third rail and dies. The third rail, in transportation terminology, is the one that carries the deadly electricity. All around the third rail are warnings not to touch. People don’t touch if they know what’s […]
Observations about Men and the Power of Women
This isn’t the way it should be, but according to sheer pragmatism, I know that if I want to get something from some man, my best opportunity is to have my wife make the phone call. At this juncture, typically a man would write, “this is going to get me in trouble.” Of course, he […]
