Ray Nearhood replied to Barrett Young's discussion 'Servetus' in the group Reformed Studyon Tuesday

Having been asked the question about Servetus innumerable times I've been mulling over a thought lately. Instead of side-stepping the issue, appealing to the imperfection of Calvin as fallen as any of us, or by treating it as a product of the tim...

Barrett, Great question and one I just finished working on last night for my church history paper! In following along your last statement I think that Calvin cannot be acquitted from his involvement in the trial and execution of Michael Servetus...

I'm not a regular on here anymore, but since Michel took the time out to resurrect an almost 1-year dead topic, I'll respond, with a question. We come to worship the King of Kings, but he is also a king we call Father. So how should family/famili...

Who Will Save Me From This Body of Death?

Acts 22:30-23:5
"But on the next day, desiring to kow the real reason why he was being accused by the Jews, he unbound him and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and he brought Paul down and set him before them. And looking intently at the council, Paul said, 'Brothers, I have lived my life before God in all good conscience up to this day.' And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth. Then Paul said to him, 'God is going to strike… Continue

Unfaithful

I posted this a year ago on another blog, but thought I'd post it here because of some conversations I've been having over Ezekial 16:

One of the lines for Derek Webb’s song “Wedding Dress” says,

I am so easily satisfied
by the call of lovers less wild,
that I would take a little cash
over your very flesh and blood

These lines speak directly to the heart of an honest Christian. I am so easily satisfied by the things I have in this world that I am constantly settling for them, opposed to th… Continue

Anyone interested in a Bible Study?

Yesterday, I began a group called Bible Study. I love interacting with everyone here on theological topics, but I believe God's word is understood not topically, but exegetically. Is there anyone interested in joining me for a Bible study? I will let the group pick the book. Please read the rules of the group before you jump in.

How Do You "Do" Theology?

Over at the Parchment and Pen, there is a commenter who has raised a challenge that he will give one million dollars to anyone that can produce a verse saying any of the following: 1) "man, by being born a sinner, deserves eternal punishment", 2) "'Grace' means God's favor extended to the undeserving", 3) "man's eternal condemnation is in any way related to his/her sin nature", 4) "produce a passage where personal sins are mentioned at the final judgment", and finally 5) "an 'eternal' death/cons… Continue

I just finished placing a larger context on my page.

I hope that the members will not vilify me for it. I suppose as I approach the 4th of July, my mind just naturally runs to heroes. And heroes are usually identified only as an afterthought, not while they are living many times.

I have just now gotten around to taking Superheroes quiz. A few years ago, I would have said this was just a part of the childhood that I grew up with, greatly enjoying Superman.

Then I taught with a young teacher, who loved the superheroes, and he began to compare the Superman hero figure the flashes of truth in his personna, which we may definitely find in Christ. I sat down to watch the movie again
(not George Reeves this time, but Christopher Reeve ) and could see the elements in the original story.

So, I thought this nearly 60 year old person would take the quizz, as well. The results are on my page.

Thanks for keeping us young at heart.
