One commenter makes an actual Haiku that says something similar: This echoes Paul, who said: God created reason for a purpose. To reject reason is to reject the tool that God has given us for a specific purpose. If we reject the tool, this implies a rejection of that purpose …
You’ve probably heard it said that faith is blind. You might think that faith is a non-intellectual matter of the heart, as in the modern English sense of ‘heart’… …and not in the sense of ‘heart’ that was meant when the Bible was first translated into English: Isn’t it curious how …
In this post, I’ll be discussing a comment under Catacomb Resident’s “Hellenism Is From Hell.” All emphasis has been added. There is a legitimate concern here: the barrier to entry. Getting a Masters or PhD requires a significant investment. For example, the Masters of Divinity has one of the highest …

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 …
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 …
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 someone came by and reminded me of Bnonn Tennant’s posts. So let’s delve right in, shall we? …
