Billy Graham and the Bible
[Streams of Living Water, Richard Foster] p210. Billy had to face the issue of the Bible as the focus of his life again just prior to the famous 1949 Los Angeles Crusade. Chuck Templeton, a close friend and able preacher in his own right, had been attending Princeton Seminary and was challenging some of Graham’s […]
A Usenet poster’s ‘Sigh’
In a post I unfortunately ‘marked read’ (yeah yeah I should look it up in Google, I know) a netfriend over an exchange with another poster whom he had accused (I think in that post, certainly in another) of being ‘childish’. I’m supposed to earn a living figuring out why people 🙂 and as I […]
The Jungian-Christian Dialogue
Christian Theology and Morality Where we are coming from, and Basic Questions and Answers Where we are coming from How we do theology depends on how we understand the nature of faith. Christian faith is not the outcome of reason alone, but of an interior ascent to God that comes about through love. Therefore, theology […]
The Heart of the Matter
The heart is the center of the physical, mental, and spiritual life of humans. This contrasts to the normal use of kardia (“heart”) in Greek literature outside the Scriptures. The New Testament follows the Old Testament usage when referring to the human heart in that it gives kardia a wider range of meaning than it […]
Part of the problem with fundamentalism
Part of the problem with fundamentalism is its arrogant assumption that it knows all the answers when it hasn’t fully listened to the questions. I have given up fundamentalism.

Their professional […]

Fundamentalism
I read this somewhere: ~~~ Fundamentalism – especially Christian Fundamentalism is a strict adherance to Conservative Protestant dogma at the expense of true faith. Fundamentalists do not believe in God – they believe in believing in God. They cannot tolerate any questioning of their dogma for fear that the whole edifice collapse under the light […]
Inerrancy
netfriend: It…..the bible contains false information? I did not say it is false information. I said it contains errors, man-made errors, My response: It does. Hundreds of ’em. If one wants to ignore the obvious, ostrich-like, that’s not quite honest eh? For example: compare 2 Samuel 8:4 with 1 Chronicles 18:4 – 1700 or 7000? […]
