Theo Geek: September 2004
http://theogeek.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_archive.html
Answering the unaskable questions. Thursday, September 02, 2004. And some people are intelligent. Such as this person, who is talking to a baptist in an internet forum. (and no, neither person is me). The NT was written. Greek-speakers, who belonged to a Greek worldview. By such a worldview, good historical practice dictates. Thus, when a modern tradition differs from them on points of doctrine (as the Baptist tradition does on several), it's not because the Greeks got it wrong, but because. I am interes...

Answering the unaskable questions. Monday, July 07, 2008. Roger Pearse and Cyril of Alexandria. Roger Pearse of Tertullian.org. And the Thoughts on Antiquity. Blog has done a lot of great work over the years in making English translations of the early church fathers available online. Thanks Roger! It's great to have such works more freely available. Elsewhere Roger quotes Cyril. But then later Roger expresses surprise. When reading the letters of Cyril and finds him bribing people:. I was astonished to f...

Hebel: From Sinner to Singer
http://absurdity-of-absurdities.blogspot.com/2014/09/from-sinner-to-singer.html
Tuesday, September 23, 2014. From Sinner to Singer. Paul is probably picking up on the idea prevalent in the Old Testament that we become what we worship. This is seen in Isaiah; the prophet is commissioned to preach to his idolatrous generation with the result that they deaf, blind, and dull hearted (Isaiah 6:9-10) – just like the idols they worship (Isaiah 42:8, 17-25)! Hence why one of things the Servant of the Lord brings is the restoration of sight to the blind. These are thy gifts; they are good, f...

Borders of Faith: Love Within the Body of Christ
http://joeydelapaz.blogspot.com/2015/03/love-within-body-of-christ.html
Formerly known as Missions and Theology. Saturday, March 14, 2015. Love Within the Body of Christ. 9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. I remember in our church every time we had finished taken the the Lord Supper, we would read the Church Covenant and there is a part there that says:. Again he got the answer, "I belong to the invisible church! God called us to serve Him in a local church through our wo...

Theo Geek: The meaning of 'faith'
http://theogeek.blogspot.com/2008/08/meaning-of-faith.html
Answering the unaskable questions. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. The meaning of 'faith'. People seem to have very different ideas about what 'faith' means. Everyone seems to think their view is obvious. For example, I've just been reading a discussion of Origen's thought on the relationship between faith and works in justification. I would have thought that such an analysis should ask what meaning Origen gives to these key terms. Apparently not. Means something that overlaps with the concept of 'works' (eg...

Theo Geek: Romans 1:18-32 and Wisdom of Solomon
http://theogeek.blogspot.com/2008/07/romans-118-32-and-wisdom-of-solomon.html
Answering the unaskable questions. Tuesday, July 22, 2008. Romans 1:18-32 and Wisdom of Solomon. The incredibly strong similarities between Romans 1:18-32 and Wisdom of Solomon 13-14 have long been noted by scholars. Paul appears to be deliberately quoting (paraphrasing) a Jewish piece of anti-gentile propaganda. Isn't that a strange thing for Paul to do? Yes We would expect Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, not. To agree with such anti-Gentile and pro-Jewish sentiments. To prove this is irrelevant)....

https://postordinandy.wordpress.com/2015/05/06/john-19-pt-1
One step further…. May 6, 2015. John 19 (pt 1). Taken, beaten, mocked and shamed. Thorns dug deep,. Piercing skin in prophetic action,. Preparing the way for their iron counterparts,. That will pin his broken frame to splintered wood. The King of kings, worshipped in cold sardonic parody. Hands that flung stars…. Those made in His image, re-imagining their place above him,. Before he is raised above them in apparent defeat. Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. And they slapped him in the face.

One step further…. March 13, 2015. One of the most impressive transformations in nature is that of the caterpillar to the butterfly:. A time-lapse video of a Monarch caterpillar undergoing this change. The life-cycle of the caterpillar/butterfly is fascinating. After a short life essentially as an eating machine the caterpillar gets ready. In the words of Eric Carle, (he). Becomes a beautiful butterfly. But as pretty as Eric Carle paints this process, this change is radical and costly to the caterpillar.

November 11, 2008 by Matthew R. Malcolm. Once again, we see that Barth’s favourite term “theou” (“from God”) is the most common word in this chapter – just as in the previous two chapters. This contintued empahsis illustrates the hesitancy I have about Margaret Mitchell’s very influential argument that it is the issue of. Discerning Paul...
