Acts 15 is quite clear. There seems to be no fuss about it, either.

MAD'ists "know" and "love" the Bible but seek too much between lines Relative to the average Western person, MAD'ists know a lot about the Bible. But MAD is a doctrinaire, overdone attempt to find some particular moment-of-transition inside the heads of the early Christians, as they distanced...

For those new to the D'ism problem (I should say cult, but more on that later), perhaps a good way to introduce the problem is this story from the past year. When I debate D'ism, I focus on 2P2P because that is an actual driving mechanism in this theological abberation, and because people will...

There would be no satire to the story of Jonah without the Bible-long intention of God reaching the nations, often through Israel. His unwillingness is a picture of what Israel was like about the same question, when the Gospel came.

One of the most frequently quoted psalms is 110. 'The Lord said to My Lord, Sit at my right hand...' We find out from the post-resurrection seminar of Christ, between the Resurrection and Pentecost, that this was God honoring Christ for the work of the Gospel. Because Christ had lived rightly...

Just learning of two accounts of DOJ pursuing people who dissent from man-made global warming. That's science? With its email deletes? Only in a Clinton admin! Patrick Moore? Martyr. Where is the DOJ on people who dissent from saying the sun has been erratic lately? And what about the...

The popular CCM worship tune "Better is One Day" can help us understand the NT idea of fulfillment of the OT. The song takes a psalm about the worship system in the old covenant and uses that picture to make the Christian's life more desired. "One thing I ask, and I would seek, to see your...

I was wrong. There are two options for the attention of the 'mystery' in Eph 3:5. Grammatically, the weight falls on the prepostional phrase 'in the Gospel' (as opposed to in the Law). That is to say, it was not realized until the preaching of the apostles that the co-inheritance and...

It is quite simple to show that the man/person of Romans 7 is a Christian. Rom 7B shows quite a bit of inner conflict. The passage ends, however, on a return to the glory of justification: The person who is in Christ faces no condemnation because of the inner conflict, praise God. The...

Watch out for the amateur system going about called Mid Acts D'ism Attention Deficit Disorder. Possibly caused by the use of phone Bibles--those devices where you don't really read, you just bing on pop phrases heard from poorly taught preachers and broadcasters about a few key system points...

I always knew (since breaking through in college) about D'ism that it takes its dictatorial stance to impose its complications that it sees between the lines. I now realize that to salvage what it could from the decrepancy of that stance, MAD has its own set of complications, imposed by a...

The behavior on 'wonder why...' thread is the typical dictatorial stance of D'ism. I think there is a 'teacher' class or 'expert' class that 'needs' a system to protect itself. He is completely wrong about me, and what I think about justification. Gal 2:20.

Coming soon. 'the secret history of ISIS'. The producer interviewed last night and dwells especially on Zarwahari (sp?) in the transition to ISIS. Surprised it is on PBS. Let's discuss it here.

An Australian Christian movie, THE PLAYBOOK, has a scene where the Christian father is in anguish at the loss of his son in a drunk driving car accident in which the father of another player on his son's basketball team is at fault and charged. The comment, however, of the father is the most...
