http://www.apoorwretch.com/2014/08/christian-reflections-on-suicide-of.html

Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Christian Reflections on the suicide of Robin Williams. Regardless of the circumstances, the suicide of actor Robin Williams is a terrible tragedy. I won't remark on William's particular case, because the truth is that I don't know. I didn't know him personally. I do know that suicide is almost always complicated, and I can readily sympathize with others who have also struggled with suicidal thoughts, since I myself have entertained the question of ending my own life. Because, i...

http://www.apoorwretch.com/2014/06/aquinas-should-christian-answer-back-to.html

Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Aquinas: Should a Christian answer back to a reviler or mocker? Whether one ought to suffer oneself to be reviled? It would seem that one ought not to suffer oneself to be reviled. For he that suffers himself to be reviled, encourages the reviler. But one ought not to do this. Therefore one ought not to suffer oneself to be reviled, but rather reply to the reviler. Reply to Objection 1. Reply to Objection 2. Reply to Objection 3.

http://www.apoorwretch.com/2014/06/a-helpful-rebuttal-to-paedobaptist.html

Friday, June 6, 2014. A helpful rebuttal to the paedobaptist argument that Luke uses "brephe" (often translated "infant") in chapter 18. But even this word is sometimes applied to children that are not infants. Thus, Luke, in his narrative of this transaction, once uses the term (v. 15) in the same way as. 8212;rendered in our Version by "infants". Here, however, the fact that Luke, in all other places in the passage, employs the word. He was " acquainted with the Scriptures" ; where. History of the Earl...

Tuesday, August 19, 2014. Five Reasons From John Bunyan To Strive For Heaven. From Great Difficulty Of Going To Heaven. By John Bunyan,. 1 Because the thing for which you are here exhorted to strive, is worth the striving for. It is for no less than for a whole heaven, and an eternity of felicity there.

http://www.apoorwretch.com/2014/06/on-1-corinthians-714-as-it-is-they.html

Thursday, June 26, 2014. On 1 Corinthians 7:14 "as it is they [the children] are holy". For the unbelieving husband is set apart for God by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is set apart for God by the husband. Otherwise your children would be corrupt, but now they are set apart for God. (1 Corinthians 7:14 HCSB). Most Bible versions translate hagios. Is that "holy" here is in the context of a lawful marriage. The late Greek scholar A.T. Robertson also offers a helpful interpretation. A helpful rebuttal...
