Children of Law
Let’s talk about child-rearing. Writing a curriculum would be antithetical to the very nature of Christian Mysticism. The whole point is to offer an example that would help you make up your own mind. We lead by example from the … Continue reading
Who Will Be Spared?
Re: Naked Bible 117: Ezekiel 8-9 This will be short and simple. Heiser’s lesson on these two chapters is one thing. While listening to it, I was struck by something related for us today. Ezekiel has a vision of all … Continue reading

A Fertilizer War
Let me offer this Christmas gift to you. There’s not much I can do for people who simply disagree with me, but I carry a heavy burden of care for those who simply do not understand. Take a broad look … Continue reading

No “One True Church”

Jesus the Hebrew Mystic
Nobody has to tell me that my previous post stirred up a hornets’ nest. The challenge here is shifting your expectations and mental reflexes over to a genuine Hebrew outlook. What did the Hebrews prior to the introduction of Hellenism … Continue reading
