This is a review of Sharkly’s latest “Do we “Resist the devil” or “Resist not evil”?” Therein he discusses whether or not the Bible teaches nonresistance. Coincidentally, over the last couple of weeks Sharkly and I had both been musing over this topic. We briefly shared some sources with each other …
A few days ago I wrote “A Spirit of Confusion” where I described the confusion and division in the Roman Catholic Church. In particular, I discussed the possibility of Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano being excommunicated. On July 4, Vigano was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church. He has not yet been …
This post is the follow-up to “Sectarianism.” This article snippet was recently brought to my attention (emphasis added): I’m not sure that anyone reading this should consider it to be useful or trustworthy. I never thought anyone would call Bruce Charlton “Ecclesiastical,” but this list somehow manages it. I also have …

Back on June 5, I published the first in a nine part series on mutual submission that I had begun drafting on May 31: I started the series for two reasons. First, I was responding to this comment by info (May 29) which I happened to notice and commented on under “Everyone’s a Genius.” …
In “A Comment from History,” I shared an old comment thread that shed light on more recent discussions. I didn’t discuss the bulk of the content, because an inductive argument cannot meaningfully be used in place of—or to overturn—a deductive argument. Lately, it has been pointed out that I often …
Sometimes a review of history is useful to shed light on—and provide context for—what followed in more recent times. Frequent readers here will be familiar with that to which I refer. Those who are not may still benefit from this look back into the past. On February 19, 2019, I …
