Theology That Bites Back
Just Breaking: The president has now nominated Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Feel free to use the comments here to comment on that. Open thread. But don’t forget the other issues . . . Continued Revoice Troubles: There was no link for the “rent an evangelical” reference at the end. I see this is …
Roe Stuff: I’m not so sure overturning Roe would have that effect. To be sure the pro-abortionists will curse and howl, and march and boycott, but it would not have to make interactions between states more difficult. From a practical standpoint overturning Obergefell I think would be the decision that would render national union a …
Revoice: Keep hammering away on the Revoice Conference. You are one of the few that are publicly opposing it. Please keep doing so. Michael Michael, thanks and will do. Though thankfully, there are others, and more coming. Enjoyed (?) your humorous use of the metaphor of the birth of sin. (It is especially appropriate since …
Goldbergian Thoughts: On Goldberg: Not surprisingly, this is perhaps one of the more engaging and edge-of-the-seat kind of reading I’ve ever laid eyes upon. Throughout your critique, I see your love and respect for the man while taking him—kindly—behind the woodshed, not for a beating—the kind which I most certainly would have given—but for a …
The Singleness Thing: What about mentally disabled/ill people who “burn” and want to have sex but are not able to sustain a relationship/marriage? Lake Lake, for those who are severely disabled, there are many hard consequences. This would be one of them. Always grateful when someone notes that unwanted singleness is an objective affliction. I …
Not Yet Time to Turn the Paige: Re: Paige Patterson at Colonus Splendid post, Doug: moderate, discerning and on-the-nose scripturally. I had previously read all the links you posted in the process of sorting through the accusations myself, and came to the conclusion that it seemed awfully early in the consideration process to come to …
Les Miss: The book/play is set in France in 1832, not the French Revolution Era of 1789-99. The war aspect of the play serves as a foil background to develop the main character, Jean Valjean. It truly puzzles me that one could zoom in so closely on this minor rebellion sub-plot and say that it …
The Liberalism is Not in Remission Yet Pastor Doug, have you seen this? Thoughts? https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/10-lessons-from-reformation-in-sbc/ I find it ironic since from the contact I have with people in local SBC churches, liberalism is far from having been defeated. Amanda Amanda, I thought that article was outstanding, and on point. I like Al Mohler a great …
Cancer News: Praise God!! Wonderful news!! Laura Laura, thank you and thank the Lord. We thought so too. If you keep writing posts that funny I’m going to start hoping you keep getting cancer. I’ll try not to. That was hilarious! Steven Steven, don’t be drawing the wrong applications or life lessons here . . …
The Demeanor of Calvinism: I am very much in your debt for introducing me to C.S. Lewis’ English Literature in the 16th Century. The section from which you quote (pages 32-46) is one of the best pieces of historical writing that I have read. The awkward part, though, is that, when read in full, Lewis …
