Nick replied to Michael Patton's discussion What do you think of the Mike Licona situation?

""The Licona Effect?"No. I have more of a problem with the idea that we need to take a fundamentalist approach to Scripture. For what Dave has said, no. Matthew does not misuse the Bible. He's well in line with biblical interpretation…"

"Nothing Could Be Further From the Truth" . . . And Other Studpid Statements

Posted on November 1, 2009 at 11:23am 0 Comments 1 Like

As I have been reading and reviewing books and blogs over the years, my approach has changed. This was not an overnight change, but something that just happened the more involved I became in engaging those who were serious about teaching and learning with intellectual honesty and integrity (something that, I am sad to say, does not often characterize Christian leaders and teachers). There are certain characteristics that I have found in people’s teaching that immediately alert me to the… Continue

"Most Christians are not satisfied to be mere observers of the green movement. Three-quarters of self-identified Christians (78%) agree they would like to see their fellow… Continue

I received an email and also find on My Page that somebody left me a comment on my profile 4 hours ago. But my question is--How do I find this comment? It doesn't appear to be on my comment wall. When I click on "comment" in the notification, it takes me to the forum page. Am I missing something?

I need to get back into the theology courses when time allows...great program. Well, until then I'll have fun reading all the great theological discourse here and add my 2 cents worth:)
Ok, it's back to writing papers on computer ethics for me--only a couple courses left to finish this undergraduate degree.
