Peter John Ellway replied to karl kleinpaste's discussion on the self-serving nature of materialism"I am not sure that all "materialists" do deny the reality, in some sense, of ethics, but if they do then I agree with this part of the article on Nagel:
"Fortunately, materialism is never translated into life as it’s lived. As…"
James Gibbons replied to Ann Sam's discussion Why does bad things happen to good people"DO! Why DO bad things happen to good people. Not does. DO. C’mon, now."
James Gibbons commented on Char's group Crappy Art H8RS Club"mem, miss you brother. I mean, I miss char n’em too. But at least I see some folks on stupid FB. But since you don’t do anything stupid, I miss you.

James Gibbons commented on Char's group Crappy Art H8RS Club"…and he walks with me and he talks with me…

Addai replied to Ann Sam's discussion Why does bad things happen to good people"Agreed. But we all are responsible and guilty for the evil that we do. "
Jason replied to Patrick R Bennett's discussion Sermon Series"Expository series are great and necessary. They push us to deal honestly with the text and lead us to preach things we might otherwise neglect.
On the other hand, one should not be enslaved to a schedule, but leave room for breaks and diversions as…"
Marv replied to Patrick R Bennett's discussion Sermon Series"This Pastor X. He's a bald guy in a wheelchair, right?"
Marv commented on Scott's blog post The Games (Some) Theologians Play"FWIW: Out+rage is a "folk" etymology for outrage, though a pretty natural one. In reality it has nothing to do with rage.
It is related to outre. "To go beyond or to excess." The ending is -age, as in heritage, verbiage,…"
DanielH replied to Patrick R Bennett's discussion Sermon Series"Well, a sermon series could also mean a topical sermon series. All the Biblical passages on marriage or stewardship or whatnot and what they have to teach us (presumably about the selected topic - which is problematic in my mind). Whether…"
Marv replied to Tim's discussion Prophecy, Inspiration & Interpretation"This thread hasn't gotten much action, I think, because it sets up some questionable premises and then asks questions based on them.
What differentiates Scripture from non-Scripture prophetic utterances?
1. First of all, Scripture is written.…"
Marv replied to Tim's discussion Prophecy, Inspiration & Interpretation"First of all is "forthtelling" a word?"
Marv replied to Patrick R Bennett's discussion Sermon Series"You have a beef with sermon series.
If a pastor is doing expository preaching and working through a text, say Ephesians, seems like a series is a natural result. This is bad? This is wrong? Or somehow you don't like it..."
Marv replied to E. A. Johnston's discussion Biblical Inerrancy"Actually everybody does not "talk about literal interpretation."
Some people do and do something about it, viz. interpret literally.
Anyway, this thread is about "Biblical Inerrancy." "Literal interpretation" is a…"
Patrick R Bennett replied to Patrick R Bennett's discussion Leave us muddy the waters in the group Original Languages Study Group"Like here is a just for instance such as arises every day - actually, it arose a couple days ago. The Decalogue, specifically Deuteronomy 5:17 / Exodus 20:13.
Hebrew gives us רצח, Greek φονευω. …"
Patrick R Bennett replied to E. A. Johnston's discussion Biblical Inerrancy"Everybody talks about literal interpretation but nobody does anything about it.

Patrick R Bennett replied to Patrick R Bennett's discussion Sermon Series"Not so much taking it on at this point, but exploring and gathering data - I have been discussing a bit with those available.
My own take at present is approximately that sermon series are a useful tool for the beginner out of which we trust he…"
Peter John Ellway replied to Ann Sam's discussion Why does bad things happen to good people"I'm not sure what you mean: many people are guilty of neglect, whether of their own children or a host of other things, but seldom do they pay for this with their own misfortune. Life is seldom just, which is I suppose why belief in an…"
