Instead of focusing strictly on medieval church doctrine and abstract theology, classical humanists placed human potential, critical thinking, and ethical behavior at the center of learning . , critical 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19  For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 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 they are without excuse. 21  For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22  Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23  and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping...

4 And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

5  12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed,

12,000 from the tribe of Reuben,

12,000 from the tribe of Gad,

6  12,000 from the tribe of Asher,

12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali,

12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,

7  12,000 from the tribe of Simeon,

12,000 from the tribe of Levi,

12,000 from the tribe of Issachar,

8  12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun,

12,000 from the tribe of Joseph,

12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin were sealed.


9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”  (Revelation 7:4–12, ESV)

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...

Covenant Theology In Outline Form (Part 1)

This is the general outline of a suzerain covenant. Shema/Preamble Historical Prologue General Stipulations Specific Stipulations  Renewal, Document Clause Witnesses Victory Statement This outline appears repeatedly in Scripture.    It makes for a helpful Study Guide.     We ought to pay careful attention when this outline appears, insofar as every major biblical covenant takes this form.    Here are some helpful thoughts. The Bible teaches the 3 uses of the Law (& Gospel).     Understanding the 3 uses of the Law helps us as we study Deuteronomy & the Sermon on the Mount.   As Moses delivered God’s Law from Sinai, so Yeshua reveals God’s Law with a Gospel slant from the Mount of Olives.  Deuteronomy :  Preamble (1:1-5) Historical Prologue (1:6 - 4:43) General Stipulations (4:44 - 11:32) Decalogue 5 : 1 - 21  Specific Stipulations (12:1 - 26:19) Renewal, Document Clause (27:1 - 30:20)  Witnesses ...
