The Lord Has Destroyed Without Pity 2 How the Lord in his anger has set the daughter of Zion under a cloud! He has cast down from heaven to earth the splendor of Israel; he has not remembered his footstool in the day of his anger. 2 The Lord has swallowed up without mercy all the habitations of Jacob; in his wrath he has broken down the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; he has brought down to the ground in dishonor the kingdom and its rulers. 3 He has cut down in fierce anger all the might of Israel; he has withdrawn from them his right hand in the face of the enemy; he has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob, consuming all around. 4 He has bent his bow like an enemy, ...

Favorite Fallacies & Homosexuality
Thesis - The tradition bound view on homosexuality commits a number of logical, epistemic, & exegetical fallacies. 1- Is - Ought Fallacy - Human anatomy is said to provide a blueprint for sexual ethics. We examined this in my previous article. A moral “ought” is derived from a physical “is.” The disputant makes an illicit leap from what is to what ought to be. A classic example is the way some homosexuals defend their sexual ethics by appealing to their biology/genetics. 2 - Vicious Circularity - Human anatomy & physiology are raised to the status due a non-arbitrary epistemic warrant. A non-arbitrary epistemic warrant must be necessary, reasoned, & principled. In truth, the body is unnecessary to deduce sexual ethics. By way of contrast, God’s nature is definitionally necessary, insofar as God is a necessary being, &, since God is infinite, eternal, & unchangeable in being, w...
Romans 1:18 - 32 & Leviticus 18
Paul is following the basic outline of a suzerain covenant in general & the outline of Lev. 18 in particular. Shema & Decalogue (Rom. 1:18 - 20) God’s Image testifies to His attributes & Law. God created people. His temple bears His Image & runs according to his Law & Gospel. This corresponds to Lev. 18 : 1 & 2. A - Rom. 1:18 - 19. God’s wrath falls on those who suppress His image. B - Rom 1:20 - For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made so that people are without excuse. What is the teleological intent of the created order? To serve as an epistemic warrant on par with God Himself? No! It’s purpose is to serve as a pointer to God who is Himself the only sufficient epistemic warrant for all faith & practice. ...
