The Rumbling Reveals Some Stumbling

0 Comment

These sorts of theological debates, those between the Subordinationists like Bruce Ware at Southern Seminary and Wayne Grudem in Phoenix, reveal not only what one teaches under the sharpening knife of fellow theologians, but they also reveal how folks respond. It is sadly obvious here that the Subordinationists have very little interest in listening to their historically-informed and biblically-based critics. Par for the course for academics, I admit.
The politics, too, are obvious. TGC and the ..

Archbishop of Canterbury Responds to Orlando Massacre

0 Comment

In the wake of the appalling attack in Orlando, I’ve released this joint statement with the Archbishop of York John Sentamu:
“After Sunday’s attack in Orlando, as Christians we must speak out in support of LGBTI people, who have become the latest group to be so brutally targeted by the forces of evil. We must pray, weep with those affected, support the bereaved, and love without qualification.
The obligation to object to these acts of persecution, and to support tho..

One More Rumbling On

0 Comment

The whole post, articulate to the core, by Darren Sumner is well worth your attention, exposing as it does Bruce Ware’s faulty method and faulty theology.
(6) A methodological critique: Where does this idea of an “authority-submission structure” within the Trinity come from? Ware, for one, is clear about the path of his logic:
As Son, the Son is always the Son of the Father and is so eternally. As Son of the Father, he is under the authority of his Father and seeks in all he does to act as the A..

How I’m Learning To Love God With My Mind, By Michelle Van Loon patheos.com/blogs/pilgrimsroadtrip michellevanloon.com
My Jewish parents used to tell me that the one thing “they” couldn’t take from me was an education. As I grew older, I learned that the “they” to whom my mom and dad referred were the various Gentile groups who’d persecuted the Jewish people for millennia. Though they were in no way academics, my hard-working parents did teach me that there was immeasurable value, if not virtue,..

The New Testament and Sex Change

0 Comment

My colleague and friend Claude Mariottini is a fan of comparing translations and thus also of the textual tradition. Just in case you wonder what I’m going on about with that for the title of the post here it is:
Two women in the NT were given “sex changes” by the translation tradition.
The story of Junia is well known and I wrote a small e-book on it (called Junia is Not Alone), which is now an Appendix in the revised edition of The Blue Parakeet. She was a woman but some strong voices in the c..

This is What the Bible Really Says About “Transgender” [video]

0 Comment

A movement to justify “transgender” sexual behavior “because it’s in the Bible” or because it’s the “Christian thing to do,” continues on the stage of both the theatre and the White House. But neither actor ever mentions what the Bible specifically says about transgender behavior– that it is an “abomination.”

The latest example of Obama misusing the Bible is suggesting that the “Golden Rule” allows him to force children of the opposite sex to share bathrooms, showers, and living facilities with ..

Crisis in American Democracy

0 Comment

When the essential institutions of society are no longer respected, government demands that respect for itself. That is a recipe for tyranny.

For nearly two and a half centuries, Americans have enjoyed the enormous privilege and responsibility of forming our own government—a privilege rarely experienced throughout most of human history. For most of history, humanity has struggled with the question of how to respond to a government that was essentially forced upon them. But Americans have often struggled with a very different reality; how do we rightly respond to the government that we choose?

To put all of this in historical perspective, the Framers of the American experiment understood that a representative democracy built on the principle of limited government would require certain virtues of its citizens. These would include a restraint of passions and an upholding of traditional moral virtues, without..

Virgo: First Zodiac Sign of the Virgin Whose Seed Saves

Part Two of a Series: “God’s Zodiac: The Gospel in the Stars” The First Zodiac Sign: Virgo: The Virgin Whose Seed Saves The stars have remained in their places for thousands of years. Seiss explains that God connected star groupings with:

“symbols and ideas he wished to convey, and transmitting and explaining to his posterity those names and figures thus conjoined with the stars, he would link with his astronomy a whole system of thoughts and hopes as clear as the stars themselves, and utterly i..

The Original Christian Zodiac

0 Comment

This is the first in a 13- part series entitled, “God’s Zodiac: The Gospel in the Stars.”

What if everything you were ever taught or believed about astronomy, horoscopes, and the Zodiac were false? What if the original Zodiac was perverted, distorted, and changed to such an extent that no one knew its original meaning imprinted in the sky?

The daily horoscopes printed in newspapers, magazines, or online are actually perversions of the original horoscope God inscribed in the heavens when He creat..
