Oh man oh man, my poor, poor, pathetic, sad, and very neglected blog. Thank you so much to my regulars whom I have been in contact with for being so patient. To anyone else, I thank you for your patience as well and apologize for the massive delay. I have been absolutely immersed in the work of beginning this church plant. After my divorce, I genuinely thought my formal ministry days were done and I was ok with that as…..

Finally! Oh man I’m so sorry to everyone that it has taken me so long to get back to this series, but I’m so pumped to be doing so as this is such an important topic. I’m going to do my best to do a good job with this article, but if there are more typos than usual or even more less than stellar grammar, syntax, etc., than usual, it is because I am having to rush a bit as…..

In this response I will again be speaking directly to Hendrik and I will be flipping things around and asking him to seriously deal with the insurmountable problems that are attached to his position.

The most crucial problem with all progressive Christian approaches to Christianity is the doctrine of inerrancy. The progressive Christian cannot have it both ways. He or she says that he or she believes in the gist of the Bible or the basic theme of the Bible…..

Hey all, I’m back and a couple days earlier than I said at that! I will be providing the next installment from the Progressive Christian Marcionism series on Mon. But today I wanted to respond to a comment that was made to me by a guy named Hendrik over on Alisa Childers’ website. It comes in the context of Alisa’s most recent article on Rob Bell. Please look through the comments for the context. Before I do respond I want…..

So I don’t have a lot of regular readers (yet! Lord willing of course), but I do have some and I’m so grateful to them. And they have been asking what is taking so long with my next blog article. While I have actually talked to all of them personally, I still felt that I should put up something official in case anyone else comes by the site and wonders what is up. I unfortunately have taken so long and…..

What is Marcionism? (Continued)

The Similarities and Differences between Greek Dualism and Biblical Christianity

The Similarities:

Let us begin with the similarities between the two worldviews. One major similarity is the belief that there does exist a strong dichotomy between good and evil. Both worldviews recognize that there is a lot wrong with the world. Neither worldview interprets this as largely illusory as is so often done within eastern philosophy. Another major similarity is the recognition that the spiritual world…..

Today, we wrap up our series on the atheist apologist Ben Wallis. I first got into it with him on the website of Alisa Childers, but then transferred the conversation over to my website. Ben has since bowed out. Ben was certainly not the most formidable atheist opponent that I have ever dealt with by a long shot, but he was for the most part respectful, albeit not always very genuine. In this article I will hit the final two…..

Preliminary Remarks

As said in my first blog article, this website is intended to discuss and defend all aspects of biblical Christian theology. However, the focus is to be on progressive Christianity as that is what I most feel called to fight against at this juncture of my walk with God. Up until today only one article has really addressed the progressive Christian movement and that was the article on Childers. And this article only did so briefly and largely…..

Today, we return to the series on Ben Wallis. Before getting into it I want to reiterate how Ben continually denies his ignorance of our faith, but Hanna did an absolutely wonderful job of making it clear that Ben is not being totally honest here and I would also like to firmly point out that the mere fact I am having to answer these 8 objections/questions proves his ignorance. If in his initial response to Childers he had wanted to…..

Preliminary Remarks:

Even though I call this article a technical article, and for the purposes of this blog it is that, I want to be clear that I don’t mean it in the sense of technical like I would write a technical paper when I was in seminary or when I was at the University of Aberdeen or if I were to write a technical article for publication if I am ever given the privilege of doing so. Such works…..
