Some readers might be familiar with, or at least aware of, “Red Pen Logic” (RPL). For those who aren’t, RPL is the work of Christian apologist Tim Barnett, aka “Mr. B”, who addresses questions and challenges to Christianity in brief videos. The challenges usually come in the form of a text that he reproduces on […]
This particular Bible mystery doesn’t quite qualify for the “Weird Bible Passage” series I did a few months ago. It is more a matter of different translational possibilities. Specifically, the verse in question is 2 Kings 23:8, which is within the passage describing the actions of Judah’s King Josiah when he was instituting reforms. It […]
“We do not have to figure out what God has decided for us to do in order for us to do it.” — Greg Koukl, founder and president of Stand to Reason The following was informed by the teachings on decision-making and “finding God’s will” by Greg Koukl. It’s a popular topic and one of […]
“Take every Christian definition you can think of. Then redefine it with a super spiritual metamystigorical definition. There. Now you have New Thought.” — Melissa Dougherty, Happy Lies I hadn’t originally planned on doing another post citing Dougherty’s book this week, but… that’s how it turned out. Funny thing is, this section actually comes from […]
“Nobody can ‘live their truth’ for long. Everyone knows this.” — Melissa Dougherty, Happy Lies I have addressed the issue of relativism in the past. But, it’s always good to have a reminder of the causes and consequences of this faulty mindset. The citation below comes from the new book, Happy Lies, by Melissa Dougherty. […]
Having already addressed the Genesis 6 issues in “My Take on the Sons of God and Nephilim in Genesis 6” and the awkwardness of Genesis 9 in “My Take on Noah’s Drunken Nakedness and the Sin of Ham in Genesis 9”, it’s now time I finally took a shot at this seemingly out-of-the blue attack […]
“Instead of fiction and fairy tales, archaeology indicates that the Bible preserves an accurate recounting of the history addressed in its pages.” — Titus Kennedy, writer, professor, and professional field archaeologist I bought a new book — Unearthing the Bible, by Dr. Titus Kennedy — that I’ll be reading through soon-ish. I was flipping through […]
One of the books I’ve been reading lately is Decision Making God’s Way by Gary T. Meadors. It has some good stuff in it and, as usual, I keep an eye out for sections that might make good articles in themselves. So, this week I have an excerpt that talks about, you guessed it, the […]
The other week I posted “My Take on the Sons of God and Nephilim in Genesis 6”, wherein I reviewed four Study Bible commentaries regarding Gen. 6:1-4 (from two previous posts) along with a couple extra sources. This week I’m doing basically the same thing but for a longer passage, Gen. 9:18-29. As before, I […]
Derick Dickens is a professor, speaker, and writer in the Reformed Presbyterian tradition. He is also a Facebook “friend”, so I see his posts and have cited him at least a couple times on this blog. This week’s “article” is based on Derick’s response to someone else (probably on FB) in a discussion about Calvinist […]
