Review: Do we “Resist the devil” or “Resist not evil”?
This is a review of one author’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 a commenter and I had both been musing over this topic. We briefly shared some sources with …
Is it Finished?
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 …
Absolutely Mystified
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 …
A Spirit of Confusion

The Nature of Faith
In my “Review: The Path is Very Long” I made some claims about Radix Fidem that some of my readers might question whether or not they are accurate portrayals. Fortunately, Catacomb Resident published “Academic Faith” only a few hours after I published that review. Perhaps it was even a response …
Review: The Path is Very Long
This is a review of “The Path is Very Long” by Catacomb Resident. I grew up as an Anabaptist in the Church of the Brethren, an explicitly non-creedal church. I would seem to agree with CR here that creeds should not bind the hearts and minds of men. I avoid …
Mutual Submission, Part 10
This is part of a series on patriarchy, headship, and submission. See this index. In “Habitually Being Wrong,” it was revealed that the folk at Sigma Frame had discussed “Mutual Submission, Part 1” without engaging with me (and if they discussed any other part of the series, they didn’t let …
Habitually Being Wrong
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.” …
A Comment from History, Reviewed
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 …
