Is Scripture Inerrant Or True?
Is God’s Word Inerrant? I don’t know but it’s an interesting question. I don’t have any issue with someone believing it is, or believing it’s not. A friend of mine recently told me that in order to get a job with a ministry, he had to sign a statement of faith which included, among other things, the words, “All Scripture …
Straight From The Horses Mouth
From Bill Kinnon’s Confused by Calvinists…again. ——————————————————————– “Isn’t it a little weird that TULIP-waving Calvinists get all bent out of shape about a book that denies the eternal flames of hell? (I should say “apparently denies” – haven’t read it and I doubt I ever will – I’m no fan of Charlie Bell or Rob Sheen or whatever his name …
Question To Ponder
Is grace true for an individual, from God’s perspective, if they haven’t consciously acknowledged it?

“It also strikes me that truth is never afraid of questions, and when questions are rendered off limits, it at least creates the impression that it is not truth that is being sought, but rather a maintaining of the status-quo.” Matthew Paul Turner, Orthodoxy vs. Heresy: A Power Game?
Supposed Conflicting Ideas In Rob Bell
The dust up over Rob Bell’s new book is outstanding. Lots of great dialog, even when it gets nasty. We need these kinds of conversations. To give you context, Jason Boyett gives a great summary of the conflict. I appreciate Jason’s comment when he says: “There is no meaner, more hateful person on Earth than a Christian who suspects you …
Straigth From The Horses Mouth
Been an interesting week and I appreciate all the dialogue you readers have provided. Jeremy Bouma, has a couple of interesting posts lately exploring why he’s frustrated with the emerging church. And in this post he said in response to Rob Bell’s theological framework. “While it is true that humans cannot earn their salvation, it is not true that humans …
Straight From The Horses Mouth
To understand this post you might need to review the previous two posts here and here. I said: And with that I began to realize why people have so many theological disagreements. Our faith is in our interpretation of Scripture, as opposed to Jesus. As much as I love Scripture it’s Jesus once removed. I find it interesting that Ken …
The Bible Is Jesus Once Removed
My previous post explored a comment Ken Silva made on my blog. It sparked a lot of interesting comments and conversations. And I will say that Ken is gracious when he’s around. A friend of mine teased me that all I need to do is mention Ken Silva, and my blog stats double. LOL! I really don’t have a dog …
Straight From The Horses Mouth
Ken Silva wrote a post in response to my previous post here. He said: “Well, since he asked; I think God has revealed of Himself what He wanted us to know about Him in His inerrant, infallible, Word i.e. Holy Scripture. Therefore, any theology that’s shaped by the Bible, in context and rightly interpreted, accurately represents the size of our infinite Creator God that He …
The Authority Of Scripture
A reader asks an interesting question about the authority of Scripture over on Brian McLaren’s blog. “Does the Bible have any authority at all, or is it merely a book like any other?” The question intrigued me because I kind of think the reader is missing something about the nature of authority. But before I share what I first want …
