Getting Words Right
Re: Naked Bible 131: Conference Interviews Part 4 Let’s talk about terminology. This is no different than anything we’ve said before; it’s just another person expressing the same thing when Heiser interviewed NT Wright. The Kingdom of God is what … Continue reading
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
No “One True Church”
I’ve covered this before, but some questions came up pointing out a need for clarifications. The natural world is pretty much an extension of the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were in the garden, but not a part of … Continue reading
