Miscellaneous Free Translations
Some of these works may be of greater interest to some of my audience than to others, but I’m thankful that each of the following currently available for free. Thanks to Roger Pearse for pointing me in the right direction: Armistead, Mary Allyson – The Middle English Physiologus: A Critical Translation and Commentary (link) (127…

Limits on Patriarchy – Deborah and other Prophetesses
Apparently all but one of the judges that judged Israel were male. The one exception was Deborah. She provides us with an example of a limit on the patriarchy: Judges 4:4-9And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah…

Free Debates Featuring James White
I was reluctant to post this list, because I’m concerned that people who might otherwise support Dr. White’s ministry by buying copies of the debates will just watch them for free. However, I trust that people who would support Dr. White’s ministry by buying his debates will consider doing so in some other way, since…

Clarifying the Rebuttal to the Necessity Argument for the Papacy
Scott Alt has posted a response to my earlier post, which mentioned the fact that the papacy is not necessary. Mr. Alt’s primary error is confusing a rebuttal argument and a positive argument. Mr. Alt misunderstood my post as something like the following argument: 1) If something is not necessary, it is not true; 2)…

Sabas on The Twenty-Two Greek Letters and Their Significance
I had heard of a number of authors who testify to the fact that the Jewish canon is (and has for millenia been) twenty-two books. It was interesting to see confirmation of this fact in “Mysteries of the Greek Alphabet.” The surprising thing about this is that the author chalks up the canon of the…

Vatican Vacancy and Papal Necessity
For a brief time earlier this year, there was no pope – no bishop of Rome for the Roman Catholics. The “Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church” (Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone held this office at that time) was in charge of Vatican City and Gandalf Castle and the few other “temporal powers” that still exist. Yet…

Pressing Chris Date's Retreat
Over at “Rethinking Hell,” Mr. Chris Date has retreated a few steps in his discussion of the meaning of the term “punishment.” Recall that the argument that “punishment” in this case was a “result” noun was one of Mr. Date’s first supposedly “positive” arguments for his position. Now, Mr. Date tries to argue for ambiguity.…
