  • Bad Friday

    Anyone who knows New York’s J-Train immediately understands a few key proverbs: One, the J-Train is best ridden during the day; Two, the J-Train through Brooklyn is not a very safe ride; Three, the J-Train is best avoided. In my old high school another proverb might be added to the list but it sounded more…

  • Christian Sci-Fi: The True Myth

    My buddy-blogger Darrell first scored Amillenial on the Eschatology quiz and then took dispensationalism to town citing some problems inherent in the system and some really bad press due to overzealous Left Behind Series theologians. Darrell rightly points out that taken to its extremes dispensationalism can become a sort of mythology which allows non-Christians to…

  • What’s Your Eschatology?

      You scored as Premillenialist, Premillenialism believes that there will be a rapture and tribulation before Jesus returns and overthrows the antichrist and establishes his Kingdom. Current events are spoken of in scripture. Premillenialist   75% Moltmannian Eschatology   60% Dispensationalist   55% Amillenialist   55% Left Behind   40% Preterist   30% Postmillenialist  …

  • Protestants Protest…Again

    This just in: the Catholic Church doesn’t think Protestant Churches are true churches (as they define it). It cracks me up that Protestants are flipping out about this since its basically the same position since the 16th Century. Here’s the clause causing fuss even though I link to the full thing above, here and here.…

  • How Come God Let’s Bad Things Happen?

  • How Can It Be Wrong If God Made Me This Way?

    That was the quote from a recent Law and Order Special Victim’s Unit where a gay Christian young man realized that his pastor father had killed his lover. The young man was part of an extremist group of Christians who performed plays depicting sinners screaming and burning in hell. But his question got me thinking:…

  • What Does That Even Mean?!?

    As you know I like to read, I like to write, and I like to combine both with the Bible (that is reading it and writing about it, not creating new chapters). Some people find reading the Good Book a tad too hard and sometimes, when they hear it being read with monotonous intonations (economics,…

  • Will You or Will You Not?

    I heard some theologian guys saying that Pelagianism is the natural belief system of men. No, I’m not talking about copying someone elses thoughts. Pelagius (not a Sith Lord either) believed that Jesus was a good example (whereas Adam was a bad example) to humanity and therefore humans have a responsibility to save themselves by…
