Pro-gay people will frequently claim that Jesus never said anything about homosexuality. His silence, they insist, is supposed to mean that a) He has no problem with it, and b) everyone else should be silent about it. If you’re a self-interested speed-reader, you’ll find precious little in the Gospels about homosexuality. But so what? Jesus […] Some random thoughts on polygamy: I think Mark Twain said it best: “Of course the Bible is against polygamy – no man can serve two masters”. Personally, I don’t know why someone would want two mothers-in-law, but if we want to look specifically at what Scripture says, I think the issue is not quite as […] 
Lots of people teach the idea that Jesus did away with the Old Testament and taught the New Testament audience a new code of conduct in Matthew 5:21-48. When I point out that the immediately preceding verses negate that thought (“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets… until […] Reformation Day is celebrated on October 31st and it commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing the 95 thesis on the Wittenburg Door and the protests against the sins of the Roman Catholic church. The Christian faith was profoundly impacted by the Reformers: Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Ulrich Zwingli, Jan Hus and many more.

But a woman who looks like Solomon’s wife – now you’re talkin’! Back in Bible College, our OT prof gave out this picture. No clue where he got it from. I’ve long lost my copy, but it turns out that some people have posted the same thing […] It’s worth considering the fact that there is a distinction between The Fall (Gen 3:1-13) and The Curse (Gen 3:14-24). Here’s what I mean: The Fall (The instant Adam & Eve eat the fruit): Man is cut off from God Man’s eyes are opened Man and woman feel shame due to their nakedness Adam and […] Have you ever experienced something good from God that answered your every prayer .. and then was told to keep it a secret? I think that’d drive me crazy. But often times, that’s exactly what Jesus did. In the Gospel of Mark, we see quite a few times that Jesus told people to not mention […] So, Jeremiah, do not pray for these people. Do not cry out to Me or petition me on their behalf. Do not plead with Me to save them. For I will not listen to them when they call out to Me for help when disaster strikes them. – Jeremiah 11:14 I’m working my […] Every once in a while, people will say that I make God the creator of evil and therefore I make God evil. I think that’s a weird accusation. To me, it’s silly to think that God created this world with no thought or intention of evil being present. Clearly He knew it would be present […] |
