Chatima Tova!

  1. As to the translation of the text from Greek into English, sometimes, there’s a certain amount of Ecclesiastical Tradition/Liturgical Philosophy that creeps into the translation process makes it to the page.   For example, here are 3 representative English translations of Romans 16:7. 7  Greet Andronicus and Junia,my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners. They are well known to the apostles,[and they were in Christ before me. (ESV) 7  Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners. They are well known to the apostles, and they were in Christ before me. (NET) 7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. (NASB) In this case, a number of the members of the ESV, NET, & NASB translation committee hail from institutions/churches/denominations in which a great many members, leaders, &tc already believe that only men are allowed to hold ecclesiastical off...

The Day The Nazi Died

THE DAY THE NAZI DIED…ALWAYS REMEMBER. NEVER FORGET. 



We're told that after the war

The Nazis vanished without a trace

But battalions of fascists

Still dream of a master race


The history books they tell

Of their defeat at '45

But they all came out of the woodwork

On the day the Nazi died


They say the prisoner at Spandau

Was a symbol of defeat

Whilst Hess remained imprisoned

And the fascists, they were beat


So the promise of an Aryan world

Would never materialize

So why did they all come out of the woodwork


On the day the Nazi died

The world is riddled with maggots

The maggots are getting fat

They're making a tasty meal of all

The bosses and bureaucrats


They're taking over the boardrooms

And they're fat and full of pride

And they all came out of the woodworking 

On the day the Nazi died


So if you meet with these historians

I'll tell you what to say

Tell them that the Nazis

Never really went away


They're out there burning houses down

And peddling racist lies


And we'll never rest again

Until every Nazi dies

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 ...
