Tackling Tradition 63: False Gospels & Itching Ears

2 Timothy 4:3  For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, Alie Beth Stuckey (& many others) seem terribly tone deaf these days. In the linked YouTube short, Alie targets progressive clergy & prosperity preachers & calls them purveyors of false gospels.  It’s as if she is completely tone deaf to the fact that she believes that the human image (its anatomy, physiology, &/or psychology) properly warrants human sexual ethics ——> which the polar opposite of what Romans 1:18 - 32 teaches and is at the root of multiple destructive theological errors that lead to societal collapse.  What does the Bible actually teach about homosexuality?   According to its own grammar & syntax, this is what it has to say:  Leviticus 18: Shema/Prologue (Lev. 18:1 - 5) General & Specific Prohibitions (Lev.18: 6 -23)  Document Clause,...

Tackling Tradition 62: Yeshua’s Birthday (John 1:14)

  Some critics of the Bible don’t believe Mark & John have anything to say about Yeshua’s birth,  In point of fact, they do. Mark & John most certainly share the same author, The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2  As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, 3  the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord make his paths straight,’ ”  ( Mark 1:1–3 , ESV) And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.  ( John 1:14 , ESV) John Mark is telling us that Yeshua was born in either September(ish) or the incarnation took place about that time, in which case He was born in the Spring of the following year.  O LORD, Hear our prayer(s)! 

The Hidden Meaning Of Dust

The  Lord  God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,      cursed are you above all livestock      and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go,      and dust you shall eat      all the days of your life. 15  I will put enmity between you and the woman,      and between your offspring [ e ]  and her offspring; he shall bruise your head,      and you shall bruise his heel.” 16  To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;      in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for [ f ]  your husband,      and he shall rule over you.” 17  And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife      and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you,      ‘You...

Revelation 18 - 20

  Babylon Is Fallen (Isaiah 21:1–10) 1 After this I saw another angel descending from heaven with great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his glory.  2 And he cried out in a mighty voice:  “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! a She has become a lair for demons  and a haunt for every unclean spirit,  every unclean bird,  and every detestable beast. b 3 All the nations have drunk c  the wine  of the passion of her immorality.  The kings of the earth were immoral with her,  and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy  from the extravagance of her luxury.” 4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say:  “Come out of her, My people, d so that you will not share in her sins  or contract any of her plagues. 5 For her sins are piled up to heaven,  and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Give back to her as she has done to others;  pay her back double for what she has done;  mix her a double portion ...
