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 [...]

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, [...]

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.

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 [...]

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.

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.

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 [...]

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 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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

OK, the havok engine is coming to Mac gamers (Yes, Virginia, there are Mac gamers). According to the story,
For those of you unfamiliar with Havok, it is a physics engine that has been used in the past by games such as Half-Life 2 on the PC, Halo 2 on the XBOX, and many others. [...]

That’s right. We speak the same language.

The iPage or really, the Sony eReader is here. At least I just saw a write-up in the Popular Science my son brought home from school. Here is a press release. It apparaently uses little or no power while displaying a page. It uses some sort of ink on the screen [...]

I interrupt my work to announce:
One of the great things about the web is that it proves that there is no idea and/or argument that is too stupid to have been taken seriously by someone somewhere for some reason.

Last post of the day, since I’ve got things to do. But I have been meaning to edit this old post from August 12, 2003 on my old blog site and simply haven’t had time. Nevertheless, while I think it could definitely be improved, I think it covers the substance of my beliefs [...]

From here:
The nature of justifying faith, with respect unto that exercise of whereby we are justified, consists in the heart’s approbation of the way of justification and salvation of sinners by Jesus Christ proposed in the gospel, as proceeding from the grace, wisdom, and love of God, with its acquiescency therein as unto its own [...]
