Dark truth (really more like an amber truth): I’m getting tired of this blog. It wearies me. So, for the time being, if you have bookmarks or RSS feeds aimed here, you might want to change them to:

No dire predictions about when or if this might change. Don’t really care. Just trying this out. My […]

I somehow messed this up so that my tumblr comments and this blogs comments were all on one page. Not knowing how to undo the problem, I decided to disable the plugin.
I’m not sure what to do with Tumblr anyway. I rarely use it if ever. I like it a lot, but others have to […]

Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you into the glory of God.
– Romans 15.7
Note that my translation of the Greek is slightly different than that of the common English Bibles. In my opinion, this exhortation has a eucharistic overtone since it is the climax of an argument beginning in Romans 14.1 about […]

If you don’t have vivid memories of reading this book, this post will be pretty much useless. And I can’t recommend the book due to content issues, though I also can’t deny I read it more than once.
But for anyone out there that read the graphic novel, Elektra Assassin, by Frank Miller: When you […]

Reading without unbiblical chapter divisions can really bring things to light:
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no […]

I totally missed something when it happened that is ancient history in blog years.
This is a totally brilliant post.
Steve has some disagreements, and I like some of his observations. The sexual and the economic are one in an important way.
But I still think Doug’s arguments can stand even if we account for this. I […]

I can think of only one. I have no wisdom on how much weight to give it in the decision making process. Here it is:
In a mainline liberal denomination you will be in a perpetual war against unbelievers who deny essential doctrines like the deity of Christ or his resurrection, etc. But by some iron […]

Here’s the text.
(BTW, I love the substantial interaction on Hebrews, monergism, etc, but I’m not at the point where I can offer substance. I just have resources for quickie posts like this one.)

In a rejoinder to this post I wrote, a blogger writes:
The eternally elect persevere to the end and inherit eternal life, but not all regenerate, justified, and adopted Christians are eternally elect; therefore, non-eternally-elect Christians always fall away.
But I never said that these who fall away were truly regenerate, justified, or adopted. I often use […]

According to Chad Van Dixhoorn’s excellent lecture on the debates over imputation at the Westminster Assembly, Vines made a statement that was closer to Roman Catholicism than Protestantism. Vines, in opposing the need for the imputation of the active obedience of Christ claimed that the difference between being restored to the state of innocence, […]

Proponents of requiring a belief of the Imputation of the Active Obedience of Christ at the Westminster Assembly asked if being restored to the position of Adam in the garden was sufficient to inherit eternal life. Gataker, who opposed IAO, agreed that it was not sufficient. But he claimed that it was adoption, […]

Story of Joseph, the first:
Joseph is given a garment and authority. The garment is taken away from him and used as false evidence that he is dead. He is sold into slavery.
Story of Joseph, the second:
Joseph is given authority over Potiphar’s house. But he refuses the wife’s seductions. She takes away his garment and uses […]
