It Matters to God
Re — Naked Bible 126: Ezekiel 18 I believe Heiser chases too many rabbits in this podcast. It’s not as complicated as he makes it out to be. How many times did God miraculously spare His people in the OT? … Continue reading

The Omphalos
Re: Naked Bible 124: Ezekiel 17 You can quickly discern who is a fake scholar of ancient religions by how they take the ANE mythology literally. Fake scholars (the kind typically hired for TV shows about ancient history) will talk … Continue reading
Rehab for Fallen Leadership?
Let’s step away from the Heiser passenger train just a bit. We need to get away from the tightly controlled route to cover something he could not and would not have touched. Over and over again, the foundation for our … Continue reading

In the Twilight of the Empire
Following up from yesterday’s post, I wanted to point out that this analysis seems to pull together bits of outline I had been reading other places, and adds considerable detail that rings true for me. In particular, it’s a good … Continue reading

Staying Out of the Way
The only way to understand Trump is to recognize him as an egotistical bully writ large. His own family says he was like that from childhood. Growing up, he managed to gain a sense of stage presence and charisma — … Continue reading

An Issue with Ezekiel 14
Re: Naked Bible 122: Ezekiel 14-15 Right in the middle of this podcast, roughly the 20:00 mark, Heiser begins talking about Ezekiel 14. Later at the 30:00 mark he raises a couple of small issues that I want to address. … Continue reading

I once knew a public school teacher who was fond of using the expression: “You better get on board or you’ll be left behind at the station!” Most of his students knew it meant he was angry, but they confessed … Continue reading

Cast Out Your Own Demons
Biblical feudalism is highly decentralized on the human side of things. There can be no centralized human authority on this earth for a spiritual kingdom. Christ alone is the Lord of His people. He appointed messengers, not rulers over His … Continue reading
