HTCG, Chapter 2, Section C: The Impression of Things
I’ve been following along with Ed Hurst’s review of “Hebrew Thought Compared with Greek” by Thorleif Boman (HTCG). I’ve been enjoying the analysis immensely. My last post was on “HTCG, Chapter 1, Section C: Non-Being.” Now, regarding Chapter 2, “Section C: The Impression of Things,” Ed Hurst says this: Here …
Following a Script
Sometimes when I make a claim, I receive a comment like this: Here is a real-life example of this phenomenon: In order to show that I have not, in fact, misrepresented anything, I take the time to analyze the source material in-depth. I write a detailed response. Perhaps it is …
A Flag Of Truce
I usually don’t post on a Saturday. But, last week I wrote “A Flag of Truce,” offering the olive branch to Ed Hurst. I didn’t hear from him, but for this Saturday, I thought I’d do the same for Catacomb Resident as well. In “A New Commandment,” I responded to …
HTCG, Chapter 1, Section C: Non-Being
I’ve been following along with Ed Hurst’s review of Hebrew Thought Compared with Greek by Thorleif Boman (HTCG). It has been very interesting. Given my background, I wouldn’t say that the issues Boman or Hurst are raising are novel or surprising—the issues they raise are not new—but it is very intriguing. Regarding …
Semantic Mischief
In “The Occult in the Mainstream Church, Part 3” I pointed out what the actual definition of polytheism is and then proceeded to explain why the Divine Council view is polytheism by definition. Then Sharkly came by and reminded me of Bnonn Tennant’s posts. So let’s delve right in, shall we? …

In Part 1 of this series, we discussed how Tim Keller was influenced by occult mystics. In Part 2 of this series, we discussed John Mark Comer and his advocacy for the Enneagram. There we described what the Enneagram is as well as identifying its origins in the occult and Roman …
The Occult in the Mainstream Church, Part 3
One of the hallmarks of postmodernism and leftism is redefining words and the use of words. If someone puts pronouns in their bio, they are probably leftist. If the staff of the Bible Project call themselves “Director of People” or “Chief People Officer” they are probably leftist. One of the …
They Can’t Understand the Word, Part 4
In Part 3, I gave a quote by Bruce Charlton where he noted that what “Trad” Christians desire most is not something that has ever been found in Christianity. The hierarchical and patriarchal societies that they so deeply want are only found in other religions and cultures. Those who seek …
They Can’t Understand the Word, Part 3
NOTE: I’m pretty sure that the subtext of the comment below is Sigma Frame’s “The Stronghold of the Beta Factory” (or else the general meta-discussion happening on related blogs). Per Charlton (here): As an aside, what we’ve been discussing (e.g. in “Postivism“) matches what Charlton says: Any treatment …
