Musings.....: Problems solved!
http://ryans-musings.blogspot.com/2007/07/problems-solved.html
Occasional thoughts on life, Jesus, and other things. Jul 16, 2007. Well, probably not, but I am curious how many of the problems in the church are the result of an improper understanding of authority in the body of Christ. If Frank Viola (see the previous post) is correct in his understanding of the New Testament, and a hierarchical leadership structure is not what was practiced by the early church, then that could cause a great many difficulties. For instance:. These are just a few ideas.

Occasional thoughts on life, Jesus, and other things. May 27, 2008. For those who don't know, the Westminster Confession. Is a lengthy document written in the 17th Century that outlines much of Reformed theology. There are 33 chapters, and I agree with most of them. I've listed the points on which I differ below, along with my reasons. This is by no means an exhaustive discussion of these topics- just a cursory statement about each of them.

Musings.....: Statement of Faith
http://ryans-musings.blogspot.com/2008/05/statement-of-faith.html
Occasional thoughts on life, Jesus, and other things. May 27, 2008. The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the Divine and final authority for Christian faith and life. There is one true God in all existence, in all places, and in all time, who is the Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Blazing Fire: July 2006
http://theblazingfire.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
A mix of Theology, Sports, Quotations, Business, a little Politics and other interesting things I come accross. Monday, July 31, 2006. THOUGHT OF THE DAY. Remember that Christ made not this atonement that thou shouldest anger God again; neither died he for thy sins, that thou shouldest live still in them; neither cleansed he thee, that thou shouldest return, as a swine, unto thine old puddle again; but that thou shouldest be a new creature, and live a new life after the will of God, and not of the flesh.

Musings.....: Love vs.......
http://ryans-musings.blogspot.com/2009/01/love-vs.html
Occasional thoughts on life, Jesus, and other things. Jan 24, 2009. In Christian circles, it seems like love and grace are always contrasted with justice, holiness, and truth. I've heard on numerous occasions that those ideas must be "balanced." You can't talk too much about the love of God because then people will think he doesn't care if we sin. And you can't talk too much about truth, justice, holiness, and sin because then people feel beat up. Do those things really work against each other? This all ...
