2000 Years of Drift
I turn once again to the matter of vision: What is Kiln of the Soul parish all about? There is no way to summarize that in a single document, much less a single statement, as if we are somehow obliged … Continue reading
And the Lord’s Supper?
It’s the same drill as the post for Friday when we talk about the Lord’s Supper or Communion: I defer to Heiser’s analysis to ask the right questions and clarify the Bible passages most people refer to for the ritual. … Continue reading
NT Doctrine — 2 Peter 2
