And the evening sermon:
Started off with the outrageous, racist rants of “His Grace, the Right Reverend Bishop Talbert Wesley Swan II” (straight from his wikipedia page) and his swinging the club of “white supremacy” at anyone or anything, logic, rationality and truth notwithstanding. Then we considered the advice of the left edge of evangelicalism’s fall into the morass of cultural confusion, this time
I really had not expected to get into this as deeply as we did, and this should have been a Radio Free Geneva, but be that as it may…we looked at the new film against “Once Saved, Always Saved,” listened to the opening section, talked about the necessary background issues, and then looked at the film’s vain attempt to get
except there are those who are troubling you Nowhere will Paul directly address the false teachers who are troubling the Galatians.

Pastors (I am not one) who actually know how to read the biblical languages (not
The discussion of Mr. Holding’s comments on Romans 9 has once again raised the issue of the importance of exegesis in theology and apologetics. For those whose faith is determined by externals (various forms of tradition, ecclesiastical, historical, philosophical, etc.), the text of Scripture is more a field of prooftexts that are malleable in nature: they can be formed to
In the midst of the battle the text of Scripture suffers at the hands of those who seek to mold it to their theology. Recently Paul’s words in Galatians 5 have suffered egregiously.
