A Word of Encouragement
Just a note of encouragement to my Christian brethren over at TeamPyro (link). I notice that they have new blogroll policy (link). It’s pretty neat that they have become popular enough to be able to make demands on those who’d like a link-back! Their graphics are great, as are many of the articles. Another nice…

Atheist Opposes Sola Scriptura
An atheist has weighed in on the topic of the current debate (which could be roughly characterized as “Sufficiency of Scripture vs. Insufficiency of Scripture“).Here’s the atheist’s critique (“Scripture Only is a Myth“). I’d wager (rhetorically speaking, of course) that the atheist has some of the same misconceptions of Sola Scriptura as does my antagonist…

A Very Odd Rebuttal
According to the Reformed Covenanter, E. Calvin Beisner wrote: Original Arminianism affirmed that Christ died as a substitute to pay for the sins of all people. The Federal Visionists will affirm that Christ died to pay the penalty for the sins of all in “the covenant”, including some who will end up in hell. One’s…

If it be True, Praise Be to the Lord
It has been reported that the Muslim mastermind of the failed first attack on the World Trade Center buildings has converted to Christianity (link). The warden seems skeptical of the claimed conversion. May God show similar mercy to all his enemies, as he apparently has to Mr. Yousef and ourselves. Don’t forget that we too…

'Tis Tradition, Stop vs. Thus the Bible Says
“Orthodox” and I are having a debate that could be roughly characterized as a Sola Scriptura vs. Sola Ecclesia debate (though neither of those terms is in the resolution.) Should this sort of thing interest you, stop by and read up, here: Resolved: “It is tradition, look no further” is less workable as applied to…

Don't Teach Creationism in Science Class
Some of my readers may have a knee-jerk reaction to the title of this post (either pro or con). Both are probably wrong: Creationism should not be taught in science in class, it should be taught in history class. The creation of the world and man should be the first two chapters of any school’s…

Bad News (if true) for Some Arminians
A few Arminians have staked their view of “free will” on the idea that what separates us from the animals is our ability to make rational choices: to wit that this is the “image of God” referred to in Scripture. Now, with the enormous caveat that the entire study may be rigged, I present the…

Psalm 105 – He Did What?
Some folks who read through the account in Psalm 105 may surprised – especially when they get down to verse 25. The Psalm starts off with a call to thankfulness and worship, on account of the deeds that God has done, calling them “wondrous works” and “marvelous works.” The first item to be selected is…
