New Testament Doctrine — Luke 1:26-38
Whence came the Messiah? Part of what we do here is demythologizing the narrative, removing the gilding from the lily. What we need is to breathe life into the narrative as it stands. We’ve looked at the Forerunner, and we … Continue reading
Stained Glass Defilement
We aren’t under any kind of quarantine, but it’s rainy weather. It’s not that I mind getting wet when riding my bike, but I don’t care for it when it’s a cold rain. It makes the clothing soggy and pedaling … Continue reading
Real Independence
During my years of traditional divinity studies and work, I often read firm statements that following Christ must rise above culture. The idea was that it is somehow pan-cultural, something that should fit into any cultural context. It’s above culture. … Continue reading
Biblical Morals in War

Sometimes I Wonder
Sometimes I wonder if some noise made by big names in Christian religion doesn’t represent controlled opposition. Let’s back up and look at the wider context. I may be crazy, but I’m consistent with the logic I promote. I’ve warned … Continue reading
