Christ’s Own Hermeneutic of the Old Testament
A lot of the Old Testament relates to God’s plan of salvation, and so it is understandable that the so-called “Redemptive Historical Hermeneutic” is popular. Moreover, it is true that Christ’s mission included bringing the fullness of revelation that was then inscripturated by the New Testament authors. Thus, the New Testament is a guide to…

Ergun Caner Citizenship …
Over at the “MosesModel” blog, there is an interesting blog post regarding the issue of when Ergun Caner became a citizen. It is provocatively titled, “Is Norman Geisler Calling Ergun Caner a Liar?” There is even a video that accompanies the post (link to video). I say it is interesting, but I suspect that most…

If God Calls you to Open Air Preaching …
… please take an hour to listen to this discussion of it (link). I’m not going to endorse every last iota of what is said in the video, and quite frankly the men in the video wouldn’t be happy if I did. Nevertheless, as Steve Hays has already observed, there is a lot of wisdom…

Doug Wilson Discussing Sexuality
Canon Wired has a set of videos including lectures delivered by Doug Wilson on a university campus. There are some minor points I would probably disagree with Wilson on, but it was nice to see that he gave a clear, evangelistic message as part of the presentation. I thought I had previously posted a clip…

The Father's Testimony to Jesus – and did Jesus say, "I am God"
Sometimes when talking with Muslims, you may hear the line, “Jesus never said he was God” or “Jesus never said, ‘I am God, worship me.’” There are a lot of valid responses to this comment. Among these is the response: “He didn’t have to!” I. The Father’s Testimony to the Son The Father testified to…

Steve Ray's "Convert" Promotion
Steve Ray recently promoted the supposed conversion story of atheist Leah Libresco. I wonder if he’s aware of her own self-description: I’m bisexual. Other queer people’s experience of their orientation varies, but, as far as I’m concerned, I’m bisexual because gender feels about as salient to me as hair color when it comes to looking…

Supplement Response to Chris Date on Result Nouns
This post is heavily reliant (to the point that it would be plagiarism if I did not give full credit) on Adam Blauser’s comment in the previous post. First, he provided an article that states: Deverbal nouns that allow a result interpretation often allow an event interpretation too. In order to separate the different meanings…
