In his post (and pdf file) A righteousness from God, Kim Riddlebarger states (p. 9, 10):
While there are a number of arguments raised in favor of this view, the main reason we are told that this reading should be adopted is because Paul supposedly uses the phrase in Romans exactly the […]

Espenson Station: who knows where it will lead?

Chapter Two’s cover is up at Crimson Dark. Whoever guessed that Espenson Station was named after Jane Espenson was right on the money. David confirms it.
Not only that, but he reveals that Espenson has a blog. And from there I learned that at one time Espenson had a hand in Gilmore Girls, […]

A post trying not to inundate the reader with superlatives (even though they would all be strictly merited)

Last year I head of this but simply didn’t have time to get into it. I recently had some downtime to go back and watch this first season.
It is hard to type because the list of superlatives in my brain keeps floating in front of my eyes and obstructing the screen.
“One man against the […]

James Boice on theological language

Great comments here and here.
The question is, to what extent do Reformed pastors have to go through a process of “translation” in order to preach this way? Can it possibly be helpful to add this mental process to a theologian’s task? Why not just do and write theology in this language from the […]

Why pay for what’s free?

As an aspiring Mac cultist, I was glad someone out there gives me reason to think my remaining unbelief is not due to personal perversity.

I’m finally getting sponsorship for my blog!

This may be temporary, but maybe not. And there’s word that a couple of seminaries might want to join to send messages for their browsing students. Depends one where they want to be placed on the sidebar. Stay tuned and I’ll let you know how negotiations go.

Is forgiveness so worthless?

One of the things I hear people accused of when they question or deny the imputation of Christ’s “active obedience” to believers is that they make their own righteousness the basis of their standing before God. This is a serious charge. Why is it made?
One line of reasoning seems to work this way:

No […]

On the “righteousness of God” in Romans 1.17 Riddlebarger writes,
There are a number of reasons why the later interpretation–-that the righteousness of God refers strictly to a divine activity and not a righteous status conferred upon sinners-–fails to do justice to Paul’s overall theology.
There are some exegetical considerations which ought to […]

In his post (and pdf file) A righteousness from God, Kim Riddlebarger states (p. 9):
In the last fifty-years or so, a growing number of critical Protestant scholars have embraced the idea that the righteousness of God, referred to here by Paul, does not at all refer to a status God bestows […]

Any comments?

My discussion of Buffy, Whedon, and comic books (and comments) has provoke the Amazon supercomputer (who knows all and mind-probed my past history as a junior-high D&D player from purchases I made at the age of thirty-five that had, by ordinary standards, nothing to do with the role-playing occult catechism) is now throwing up Whedon […]

Paul the man pleaser

Paul was constantly accused of wanting to please men. Why? Because he preached unity and denied the traditions and laws that got in the way of unity.
Of course, this doesn’t for a minute mean that he was anything like a “liberal” or a “mainliner.” His stance on ethical issues was uncompomised. […]

Irony lost on its participants

Listen to the car wreck.
OK, we were warned about this. They said, “If you preach predestination, you’re just gonna end up dividng the church. If you preach predestination from the Bible, you’re gonna end up creating a group of people who are fanatical about about doctrine, who are divisive, and who will splinter […]

Phone addiction or Jennifer addiction?

This post by Wayne pointed to an interesting “problem.” But I’m unrepentant.
When I am without my cell phone the overwhelming feeling I have is that I’m cut off from Jennifer. And I hate it.
With her working now, and with children from 10 to three in the home, phone time has become pretty close […]

Game engine

OK, the havok engine is coming to Mac gamers (Yes, Virginia, there are Mac gamers). According to the story,
