ROBERT L. REYMOND ATTACKS THE NOTION OF BIBLICAL ANTINOMIES
2008-06-23 18:58:00 ROBERT L. REYMOND ATTACKS THE NOTION OF BIBLICAL ANTINOMIESBy Forrest Wayne Schultz In my Epistemology Position Paper I make it clear that I repudiate Van Til's notion of Biblical antinomies because it is out of accord with the Van Til Perspective itself. I am not the only Vantillian to do so. I was still wrestling with this when I read Robert L. Reymond's epistemologicl masterpiece The Justification of Knowledge. This helped solidify my position. In this great work Reymond begins by giving Van Til well deserved credit for developing what we now call the Van Til Perspective. Having done so, Reymond then goes on to criticize Van Til for holding to the Biblical antinomies notion. The sections quoted below are written for that purpose. I would ask everyone reading this to pay very careful attention to what Reymond says, because this is a very important matter. Here is a direct quotation from Robert L. Reymond's The Justification of Knowledge (Presbyterian &...

Don't Step in the Biblical Leadership!
2008-05-19 07:17:00 I read this article by Reb Bradley called tough love. According to Mr. Bradley Tough Love isn't for husbands. Why? It gets in the way of leadership. You are upsurping leadership if you do this with your husband. I would assume it would be okay for men, because they don't have that issue biblically.An answer to this question can be deduced based on the Bible?s principles related to marriage and divorce. For a wife to go against her husband's desires and leave him, would require that she forsake her biblical responsibility to submit to his authority. Such a wife may justify her separation by claiming she is simply following Christ's example -- he set boundaries and "drew lines" of behavior for his followers, and that is what she is doing for her husband. But such a wife misconstrues her calling to be Christ-like -- she is called to be like Jesus in character, not in authority. In fact, the Bible tells her specifically that she is not to be like Christ in the exercise of autho...

Hershel Shanks and the Biblical Archaeology Review
2008-05-05 19:11:00 I have been meaning to write an article on a few of the entries in the most recent BAR. No, not the Browning Automatic Rifle, I’m talking about the Biblical Archaeology Review. Although some of you would probably find the first more entertaining, the latter is really the more important and relevant thing to discuss, as far as I’m concerned. Especially in light of the guest appearance this Wednesday night on our show, Dr. Hector Avalos, and his fascinating book, The End of Biblical Studies. I generally read through this periodical, not only because I find the articles compelling, but the Magazine as a whole attempts to break the chain of evangelism by presenting—and I mean it really tries hard—the most scientific articles it can find, or that have been submitted. Some are unbelievably inaccurate, and at times the Magazine editor, Hershel Shanks, will allow his Jewish-religious viewpoints to interfere with his choice of articles, and often his choice of words.r...

Understanding biblical words correctly helps us "see"
2008-04-20 22:32:00 In Luke 11:34 we are told,"the eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness”. In Proverbs 20:27 we learn “the spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, Searching all the innermost parts of his being”. In Psalm 143:4 “Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate”. The biblical uses of these words LAMP, HEART and EYE help give us insight into the scriptures by revealing how the nature or state of the human spirit is directly responsible for the health of the body. When the spirit of the body is in a state of wholeness, perfection or incorruption, it is also HOLY and consequently is open and clear. When darkness through indwelling sin engulfs the spirit, it in turn becomes “bad” and so the body also becomes “bad” and loses it's vitality. The meaning here, is in no way parabolic, but is simply lost in translation because Christians take ...

When Do I Know I’m A Christian? A Biblical and Theological Inquiry;
2008-04-08 22:31:00 This is a Response to a good friend’s exploration of when it is someone becomes a Christian and acheives salvation: An inquiry in response to yesterday’s Morning Light’. I hope you can find some time to read it all. Biblically Speaking: An Inquiry: Upon repentance from sin, is this something separate of Christ? Or does repentance come upon acceptance on Jesus? Does salvation come with this repentance absent of Christ, or does salvation come from repentance in the name of Christ (namely being knowledge of Jesus, not the ‘letters’ of his name)? Are these two things that should occur at once, or are they engaged separately? I ask because upon the Pentecost, Peter gives his great sermon asking us to “repent and be baptized, every one of you, In the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.” (Acts 2:38). Beforehand, John the Baptist asked people to repent and be baptized. In the Peter scenario, Peter now says that repentance in the name of Jesus will lead ...

A Biblical crisis of faith
2008-04-06 10:26:00 Sent in by Jim RLI was raised Catholic and attended Catholic school from kindergarten through high school. I read the Bible often and prayed every night. God was very real to me through college. During college I went to church every Sunday with my grandmother.I quit reading the Bible when I got to the end of 2 Samuel and it tells the story of God killing 70,000 Israelites via an epidemic because David took a census that God told him to take. I just couldn't accept that story. I had a pretty liberal view of the Bible, but this story couldn't be true. My God wouldn't do that. The God I prayed to, talked to wouldn't do that...couldn't do that. The crisis of faith was never quite settled, but the feelings that story gave me eventually died down.After college I still went to church in Columbia, South Carolina. I wasn't very comfortable with the more conservative church there. A priest in a homily once referred to NPR as "National Communist Radio". I didn't like the fundamentalizat...

Defending God: Biblical Responses to the Problem of Evil 捍卫上帝

Crenshaw # Format:PDF 1.3MB# Page Count: 288 pages# Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA (April 21, 2005)# Language: English# ISBN-10: 0195140028# ISBN-13: 978-0195140026In the ancient Near East, when the gods detected gross impropriety in their ranks, they subjected their own to trial. When mortals suspect their gods of wrongdoing, do they have the right to put them on trial? What lies behind the human endeavor to impose moral standards of behavior on the gods? Is this effort an act of arrogance, as Kant suggested, or a means of keeping theological discourse honest? It is this question James Crenshaw seeks to address in this wide-ranging study of ancient theodicies. Crenshaw has been writing about and pondering the issue of theodicy - the human effort to justify the ways of the gods or God - for many years. In this volume he presents a synthesis of his ideas on this perennially thorny issue. Th...
Making sense with biblical myths
2008-03-09 11:46:00 Growing up from a Christian home is not a guarantee that a person can be indoctrinated in Christianity for life. My parents were Christians--they're good Protestants. Every Sunday I had to go to church for a Sunday school. There I was taught bible stories, and Christian doctrines.But as a little boy, I always had questions to my teachers in the church. What was God like? Why was the figure of Christ so powerful? Why were the pastors and elders powerful in the church? How did Jesus Christ become God? Was resurrection true? If it's true, then why was that God could not raise my dog to life again?All these questions were left unanswered. And no one actually gave me honest answers.When I was in grade school, the nuns taught us how to pray using the rosary. Back home, my parents taught me to pray directly to God in the name of Jesus Christ; and I could not reconcile the Protestant teachings with the Catholics. I was confused. The nuns taught us to pray to God through the interventions ...
The Passover trip : and other Biblical hallucinations

When asked about possible evidence that might give credence to the story of the exodus, Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass wasn't encouraging ...

Here is the real, factual story of the Archaeoraptor fossil Ham and others are touting around to get people to doubt the scientists, who says they found feathered fossils of dinosaurs. The Archaeoraptor fossil is really 2 dinosaurs forged into one by a Chinese farmer, a peasant who dug the fossils up and smuggled it to the US along with the other fossils that are illegally unearthed and smuggled out of China to be sold to fossil collectors to add to their private fossil collections with little regard to the fossils' high value to the scientific community.

2008-02-20 04:10:00 Mirrored here.One Big Major Joke! Now we get to the section of the book that's filled with blatant hypocrisy and venomous lies that spans from pages 44 to 53. On page 44, Ham blames everything bad (i.e. the effects of sin, the [sic] curse of earth, and the fabled global flood) on man and beast's competitiveness over space and the extinction of many animals species brought on by man. If young earth is true, and all organisms live at the same time, the world would have been a huge landfill of living organisms piled sky high with no space in between them all over the earth. Ham then encourages his followers on page 45 to ask a scientist a simple question about wildlife conservation. It's important to support wildlife conservation for many animals, because man is driving many animals into extinction for a lot of reasons, such as destroying their habitats to make room for farming, mining, and settlement, poaching, pollution, overgrazing, and other atrocities man has committed against ...

Because man have filled the world with violence, God made up His mind to destroy mankind with a flood. But Noah finds grace in the eyes of the Lord, so God tells Noah that he will bring a great flood to punish mankind for his sins and commands him to build the ark that about, according to the book, around 437 feet long, 73 feet wide, and 44 feet high which is inaccurate. It was more likely 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet tall. Noah are to take with him two of every kind of animal, a male and his mate and 7 of every kind of animal that will be used for food and sacrifices, a male and his mates.

None of this has anything to do with dinosaurs. However, Ham claims Colossians 1:16 tells us that God created everything [word all capitalized]. Still, it has nothing to do with dinosaurs. Ham says God created dinosaurs (Saying that God created everything doesn't exempt Him from causing everything to evolve and change over time. If God just created everything, then He render everything living, boring cloning machines constantly making exact carbon copies of the original form.) and that God created dinosaurs on day 6 of Creation along side of man and all other land animals God has made.

There is no such thing as dinosaurs that lived alongside of man, roamed the Garden of Eden, being all vegetarians, perishing in the great flood of Noah only for some to be safe and hibernating on the ark only to leave it to die off in “post-flood” extremes (i.e. froze to death in the ice age, killed off by man, etc.), being Behemoth and Leviathan as told in Job 40 and 41, being dragons people saw, fought, and kill in legends, and living in the remote jungle areas of the world today.

New Discovery in Old Jerusalem Supports Biblical History
2008-02-01 21:02:00 A new discovery of an ancient stone seal or bulla helps confirm Biblical history for the period of the Return to Zion from Babylonia.This is a picture with an inscription in the Old Hebrew alphabet [similar to Canaanite]. The three-lettered inscription says: Temekh or, unvoweled: TMKh. The Temekh family is mentioned in a Biblical book as servants in the Temple in the First Temple period [Book of Nehemiah, 7:46, 7:55] --up to the Babylonian Exile when they were exiled to Babylonia-- and as having returned to Zion, that is, to Jerusalem and the Land of Israel [Nehemiah 7:6]. Curiously, the illustration on the bulla shows two priests at an altar with the symbol of the Babylonian god Sin above it [see Jerusalem Post, 1-17-2008]. So we have a bulla found in Jerusalem, in the City of David area, now outside and south of the walls of the Old City, with an inscription in the Old Hebrew alphabet of the name of a family known as Temple servants in a Biblical book, plus a Babylonian symbol.
