The Ancient Paths Blog

I have been working on a long form Christian testimony / advocacy on Eastern Christian theology paper, but I am a bit bogged down and realize that what I got is probably a bit too long for ordinary Blog and Facebook consumption, so giving a synopsis. My mother had a favorite saying "the proof...
I kind of fell into it. Was a part time Seminary student at Fuller Theological, and in the nondenominational Protestant Charismatic. As a kid I had been raised in conservative Lutheran churches growing up, and spent 6 years attending a Southern Baptist parochial school, prior to attending a...

My best friend echo's some things I have said speaking against how compartmentalized people have become when it comes to quoting proof texts. People often don't understand the greater context of what is going on in the Scriptures but basically quoting the Bible for the power of the sound...

This comes from watching a prophet lady on YouTube talk about the ministry of Christ… where she spoke of him “being in the flesh” when he experienced genuine temptation. This phrase really bothers me to the point of believing it to be actual sacrilege. I know it was not intended that way...

My childhood friend Bishop Stan talks about God's dealings with humanity and with us personally. What is called in theology, the Divine Economy, a term he doesn't use. He talks about God dealing with us in terms of chronological time vs. seasonal time. He at some point may reedit in...

A video where I as a Trump supporter find some potential good out of something I consider to be unjust and a political double standard (If Trump arrested or disbarred from future office). I did notice a "Freudian Slip" some Democrats and non-Trump fans will probably find amusing, I will insert...

I give my own rendition of a talk originally given by an old priest of mine 15+ years ago on how the early churches in Christianity came about and spread throughout the ancient landscape. I especially debunk a few modern "house church" ideas that various kinds of neo-Evangelicals have.

Atheism and the Conflict Thesis If I would have taken the time to write out a basic outline and notes I would have explored the conflict thesis more. It is a largely debunked historical theory that proposes an antagonist relationship between religion and science. This thesis is more dubious in...

The video brings into question how some Christians have their church services and other efforts at evangelism structured vs an approach that I'm advocating that is "incarnational" and based on the church as a kind of family.

I plug 3 different online tools that I use that I think can really help just about anyone: The Bible Project videos, online interlinears with built in Lexicons, and Bible Gateway, especially it's audio feature that people often don't know about!

I complain that I think the Gay Pride month promotions have gone too far based on not only my perceptions watching TV and online but also shopping on Amazon where pride products were heavily pushed and I also talk a little about a recent Bill Maher video on the same basic topic.

I did a video based on my recent experiences here on my recent experiences (bottom links) not to mention my other experiences of Christians musing the sentiment "Christianity is a relationship not a religion". This modern slogan that seems to have it's origins with the Jesus Freaks of the...

I tell an a story from late evangelist Reinhard Bonke and talk a bit about the analogy of faith being like our development of trust with out parents, aka parental attachment (inspired by pastor Rick Warren's sermons on faith). I talk about some limitations to that point of view (an uncle who...
