Our Daily Bread = Communion?
I asked: Athanasius, which respected non-Orthodox NT scholar agrees with this allegorizing of yours? Response: Actually it is not -allegory- but -literal- interpretation as you will see below. There is certainly a spiritual interpretation placed on it, But the genesis of that view must be laid at the feet (as it were) of the holy […]
Children and their parents’ sins
One poster wrote: Now to answer your question, these children didn’t “do” anything to deserve their plight. It’s the concept of the consequences of sin working themselves out on future generations. Another responded: So God won’t protect little babies from the actions of their parents. I guess your deity is not pro-life. To which I […]
Quotes about Fundamentalism
Protestantism was the triumph of Paul over Peter, fundamentalism is the triumph of Paul over Christ. – Will Durant Fundamentalist religion is the most pervasive vision of central planning, though many fundamentalists may oppose human central planning as a usurpation or “playing God.” This is consistent with the fundamentalist vision of an unconstrained God and […]
Infant Presentation rites
(From a Baptist pastor-friend): A RITE FOR THE PRESENTATION OF A CHILD (This rite commences after the sermon in the Sunday service.) Let us stand and affirm the faith of the Church. WE BELIEVE IN GOD, THE CREATOR AND GIVER OF LIFE, WHO BROUGHT ALL CREATION TO BIRTH, WHO MOTHERS US AND FATHERS US, PROTECTING, […]
Was Sodom into Sodomy? (Ben Witherington III)
Ben Witherington III Was Sodom into Sodomy? What the Bible says about sodomy, homosexuality and sin The discussion of homosexuality in the Bible usually focuses on texts prohibiting certain types of behavior.

The ‘Doctrine of Man’ (H. C. G. Moule)
Man as Created. Scripture gives no formulated Anthropology. But in its representation of man, as in its revelation of God, it gives facts and principles, inviting reverent formulation. It implies meanwhile two provisos; first, that it considers man from the divine viewpoint, above all as the subject of redemption; secondly, that the theory which it […]
Theology of Sin
One netfriend commented Sin: Falling short of the glory of God. Another responded: Whatever that means. My response: Let us assume, that this aside is a serious one… Yes, “sin = falling short of the glory of God” is something of a cliche, but behind it, according to classical Christian theology, is the essence of […]
Inerrancy of the Bible: An Annotated Bibliography ( A Conservative View)

At a recent meeting with the pastoral assistants here at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, I gave a quick bibliography of the history of the controversy over inerrancy. I […]
Varieties of inerrantists
From a netfriend: I am not much of one to throw around labels – because there is a spectrum of positions concerning 1) the veracity of the scriptures; 2) the authority of the scriptures; and 3) the place and role of the scriptures in faith and practice. IOW, we cannot bake all liberals (for example) […]
