Marcionism 2
I realized in writing my first entry griping about the Low regard that people have for the Old Testament I did not really flesh out my reasons for calling such people “Marcionite” in their attitude. Marcion was the first person to really make a theological system of the Old...
Did's some Blogging on Marcionism a few years back. Post 1
Marcion of Sinope (AD 85- 160) was one of Christianity’s greatest heretics. He had a lot in common with the group of heretics that we know as “the Gnostics”, that you can probably classify him as one, even though there are fine...
(A Facebook blog post, I wrote when I was planning on writing a book 2 years ago)
Mark 10: 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Deuteronomy 29:29
"The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed...
Decades ago i ran across a book that covered the Charismatic movement in the Lutheran Church. As an ex-Lutheran it was of interest to me. The books lasting value was putting a finger on a problem I've seen and experienced all too many times. Too many times pastors and other people respond to...
The Church is more than an Institution setup to fulfill the Great Commission
(This is something I want to write on as far as books go. But wrote the basic thesis down in a series of Facebook posts on a Friends message entry on the basic topic)
I was going to write a bit more. Nice to have my...
Nice Heresy. There has been nearly 2 millennia worth of Christian teaching stating that Jesus is both "true God and True Man". There is one passage that especially points to the need of this fact.
Romans 5:
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin...
The term "binding and loosening" in the NT was originally rabbinic term for the regulation of halaka which was how the commandments would be carried out in ordinary life. We know from reading the NT that pharisees often were too strict in this, not using mercy when establishing these rules and...
Some folks may like a Blog post I did a while Back where I deconstructed and refuted one popular bit of Charismatic Bible and Church history interpretation (something that I have heard
preached on by a number of Charismatic preachers over the years).
In this opening topic, I am going to be...
I give the basic context and relevance of 2 Tim. 3: 16 & 17. It directly points out that the Old Testament is widely applicable to issues of the New Covenant and shows the importance of established precedent on Church doctrine and practice.
(Reposting an article I blogged a few years back)
A week ago I had a discussion / disagreement with a Christian that was very put off by the notion that objects in the New Testament era might actually be somehow “consecrated” or even holy (because they are set apart for the ministry of the...
"The Stone the Builders Rejected" (Psalm 118:22-23, Matthew 21:42) is not just a parable and prophesy, but actually relates to a historical event that happened during the Building of the 1st Temple.
I go over 3 interpretations of Romans 12:20 and tell why this verse should be interpreted as bringing someone to repentance rather than shame (because you treated them better than they treated you) or its simply about supplying the needs of your enemy.
This video touches on the theme of Restoration as part of the Gospel. Besides that I speak of a modern heresy and the potential implications for the Charismatic movement.
