GOD IS OUR FORTRESS, AN EVER PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF NEED

 47 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

1  Clap your hands, all peoples!

Shout to God with loud songs of joy!

2  For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared,

a great king over all the earth.

3  He subdued peoples under us,

and nations under our feet.

4  He chose our heritage for us,

the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah

5  God has gone up with a shout,

the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

6  Sing praises to God, sing praises!

Sing praises to our King, sing praises!

7  For God is the King of all the earth;

sing praises with a psalm!

8  God reigns over the nations;

God sits on his holy throne.

9  The princes of the peoples gather

as the people of the God of Abraham.

For the shields of the earth belong to God;

he is highly exalted!  (Psalm 47)

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 ...

The Biggest Lie Told During Pride Month

Generally speaking, Mike Winger is a pretty good Christian apologist, but like many theologically Evangelical (& Non-Evangelical) Christians these days, his heart & mind are still in the thrall of Liturgical Philosophy & Ecclesiastical Tradition.  According to him , the other side of the ecclesiastical ideological aisle is guilty of lying this time of year.   He could not be more wrong.   In truth, the biggest Pride month lie is the tradition bound view on homosexuality.  The reader is invited to refute this by way of using the Bible only & commiting no exegetical, epistemic, & logical fallacies.  First, let’s outline the texts of Leviticus 18 & Romans 1:18 - 32 together in tandem.    Why?  Because Leviticus 18 is inerrant & infallible case law, & Romans 1:18 - 32 is verbal, plenary inerrant & infallible didactic material that follows the same outline & serves as an inerrant, infallible commentary on L...
