Honesty
So today (yesterday by the time you read this) I got stung by believing something that was false. I jumped on a guy who downplayed my complaint about the Roman Catholic practice of enforcing celibacy on their clergy, when Scripture … Continue reading
Solid Teaching and How It Happens
I’m reading a book on house churches that says that if a house church isn’t teaching regularly, then it would be better to go to an institutional church with solid teaching. Uh huh. Where would I find one of those? … Continue reading
Sneering, Honesty, and Homosexuality

Christians and Liberals
Today I found a news article about the ACLU supporting freedom of Religion … for Christians! Giving credit where credit is due, I found that link at this blog. I have some comments to make about Christians, liberals, and conspiracy … Continue reading
Honest Bible Interpretation: Assumptions, Humility, and Reality
It seems that there’s always some incident making me want to talk about honest Bible interpretation. Today it was a phone call made to a call-in talk show. The hosts, conservatives like most talk radio hosts, had repeated a rumor … Continue reading
Eternal Security: Can a Christian Fall Away?
I don’t believe in “once saved, always saved”; however, yesterday I read an argument for eternal security which supported what I do believe. This post is not an argument for or against eternal security (at least not primarily). As usual, … Continue reading
