John Piper - Blinders for Biblical Roles!
2009-09-21 16:13:00 I have question for everyone, and would love to hear from theories.For some reason I started this huge fire storm with my article about John Piper and how his ignorance is killing children. I have dealt with a number of families, and their children within those families. The children it seems are the silent victims. There are a number of churches that are truly coming around, and realizing their error when dealing with domestic violence. I have found in part it was due to them participating with this dynamic within their church. First being relieved at what seemed to be true repentance, but once the hard work to truly allow God to change the mindset of the abuser? All Hell breaks lose, and they quickly found themselves sitting their stunned wondering where that 'true repentance' went!What happened to the tears and 'I will never do that again?" The 'I want to CHANGE!" It was to overwhelming for the abusers. Just like real life is, and they responded in the way they always ...

THE CHICAGO STATEMENT ON BIBLICAL INERRANCY
2009-05-13 19:58:00 Below is what I regard as:THE DEFINITIVE STATEMENT OF SCRIPTUAL INERRANCYPlease read and meditate on this. A lot of people today do not know about this because it was adopted 30 years ago.

Biblical Battered Wife Syndrome
2009-01-26 19:44:00 Biblical Battered Wife Syndrome: Christian Women and Domestic Violence is article written by Kathryn Joyce on Religion Dispatches. Kathryn is also the author of, "Quiverfull: Inside the Christian Patriarchy Movement"This article was written about Saddleback Church's position on domestic violence, divorce, and how they feel it should be handled. I had written prior how I think their stand on how you 'can't escape the pain' so you need to separate and figure this things out is an unrealistic view of the overall picture he is attempting to address. The article in question goes into that audio I spoke about, and also another one that speaks about miserable marriages. Tom Holladay decided that he could qualify what he feels as domestic violence as being, "habit of beating you regularly".

FRACTALS AND BIBLICAL ECCLESIOLOGY
2008-11-03 17:28:00 FRACTALS AND BIBLICAL ECCLESIOLOGYbyForrest W. SchultzFractals are structures in which a part of the structure resembles the whole structure. Thisfeature is referred to as "self-similarity across scale". For instance, in a fractal branchingnetwork each branch resembles the branch from which it branched because all the branchesare formed in accord with the same recurring pattern. In fractal geometry the resemblance isexact. In the fractal structures in nature the self-similarities are approximate.In Biblical theology there are two fractals which immediately come to mind, each of whichpertains to the communion of the saints. The communion of the saints is most frequentlydesignated by Scripture as the Church of Christ and as the Family of God, whose membersare brothers and sisters in Christ under the Fatherhood of God.It is interesting to observe that Scripture uses the same term "church" either to referto a local church or to the universal church. The universal church is composed of a...

BIBLICAL ONTOLOGY AND TIME TRAVEL
2008-11-02 15:50:00 A TRANSCENDENTAL ANALYSIS OF TIME TRAVEL:WHAT REALITY MUST BE LIKE FOR TIME TRAVEL TO BE POSSIBLEBy Forrest Wayne Schultz I have been a science fiction fan for a very long time, I was the President of a local science fiction club for a while, and I have spoken at many science fiction conventions. One of my favorite kinds of science fiction is time travel stories. I do not know if time travel by means of a chrononautical device has ever happened, ever will happen, or if it is even possible for man to be able to do so. One thing I am sure of, however, is the main feature reality must have for time travel to be possible. Most theoretical discussions of time travel have focussed on the technological factors and the "paradoxes". I shall discuss neither of these here. I shall be discussing the relevant features of that branch of philosophy known as ontology, which means the most fundamental nature of things. One of the most interesting of all topics about a thing is a study of wh...

Inscription Discovered in Jerusalem of Name of Biblical Personage
2008-08-05 12:34:00 A new discovery has been made in the area of the original Jerusalem, called `Ir David, City of David, which forms another physical [archeological] confirmation of the real life of a Biblical personage. This discovery is only the latest in a series of discoveries of names of Biblical personages in the `Ir David area. This person's name is found in the Book of Jeremiah [38:1], He lived in the late First Temple period, as did most or all of the other Biblical personages whose names have been found in that area. The building where this bulla [seal stamp impression] was found was also where at least one other bulla was found in `Ir David. The personage was named: Gedalyah son of Pash'hur [Jer 38:1] who served King Zedekiah. The other personage of whom a seal stamp impression was found was: Yehukal son of Shlemyah [Jer 37:3].

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 darknessâ. In Proverbs 20:27 we learn âthe spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, Searching all the innermost parts of his beingâ. In Psalm 143:4 âTherefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolateâ. 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 âbadâ and so the body also becomes âbadâ 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 yesterdayâs Morning Lightâ. 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 âlettersâ 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 ârepent and be baptized, every one of you, In the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.â (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...

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

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 ...

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. Something that only exist in Ham's fantasies. Ham then tells of how the dinosaurs were first coined by Sir Richard Owen years ago. Ham is one year off of what he claimed.

Dinosaurs of Eden: A Biblical Journey Through Time
2008-02-17 06:45:00 Mirrored here.Unbelievable but true, there are creationists out there, including this one, who believes that there is no such thing as dinosaurs.

Free Christian Books From Biblical Church of God
2008-02-08 23:51:00 From Fred R. Coulter, author of A Harmony of the GospelsâThe Life of Jesus ChristDo you âcontinue in sinâ that âgrace may aboundâ?Mardi Gras, Lent and Easter center around a âno worksâ salvationâand make a mockery of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ!Christendom is busy preparing for its most sacred time of the yearâthe Easter season. Catholicismâwrapped up in traditionâfocuses on Mardi Gras and Lent as its lead-in to Easter. Protestants key in on the âSunday resurrectionâ teaching. Besides the fact that the Bible offers no support for such traditionsâand that they are actually holdovers from ancient occult holidaysâthese observances center on the âChristianâ idea of a âno worksâ salvation. The fact is, they make a mockery of the very sacrifice of Christ! Mardi Gras pictures lust, debauchery and sinâfollowed by Lent with its forty days of penance.
