The Validity of the Trinity Doctrine
This post is long. Let’s dive right in. Just for a quick refresher, not that anyone isn’t aware, the trinity doctrine is as follows. There are three distinct entities that comprise a singular God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. All three are said to be coequal and coeternal. It’s a very confusing…

A History of the Johannine Comma’s fabrication
I happen to be exactly 6ft tall without any shoes or socks on. This specific fact has opened my eyes to a world of desperate deception that I don’t think I would have appreciated otherwise. The thing is most men want to be 6ft (at least) tall. In the eyes of men, many women, and…

Withholding the Truth
In 1986 NASA’s space shuttle program was in full swing. The launch of the Challenger was coming up next and people were excited to know a teacher would be going to space. There was a thrill of enthusiasm in the air. Behind the scenes, engineers from Thiokol, the company in charge of the rocket boosters…

A Pariah Among Men
Ron Wyatt. That name might mean something to you if you are into archaeology or if you happen to be a Seventh Day Adventist. Ron was a Seventh Day Adventist nurse anesthetist (died in 1999) with a passion for using archaeology to prove his fundamental Christian faith. This man did not possess a degree in…

David stole Bathsheba. But wait, there’s more!
The storyline of David contains some pretty crazy stuff, and I say that for reasons that are probably a lot different than you think. Everyone knows how he stole Bathsheba. Everyone knows how he danced before the Lord. Everyone knows how he ascended to become king and was a hugely successful leader. What is not…

The Unscriptural Nature of the Scriptural Inerrancy Doctrine
A few years ago my wife and I went on an Alaskan Cruise with her family. The company we went with, Norwegian Cruise Line, had all of the things you’d expect to be on a modern cruise ship. One of these, the gift shop, eventually became a rolling joke among us. It started on day…

Marvel Jesus
I’ve been a big fan of Marvel movies since 2008’s Ironman came out. Something about the story telling of superheroes makes me feel like a giddy kid inside. Deadpool and Wolverine was no different. In this movie, at one point, Deadpool makes the statement “I…am….Marvel Jesus.” It was comical and got a little chuckle out…

In search of truth, what are you willing to give up?
“It’s hard to hear God’s voice, when you’ve already decided what you want Him to say” As I delve deeper into theological history, and read more from various theologians and scholars, this phrase will often bounce back into my consciousness. How often do people approach “Bible study” with an idea of what they want to…

When and where is traditional Christianity found?
“We need to get back to traditional Christianity!” Have you heard this, or some version of this phrase? I sure have. What do “they” mean when they say this? Quite often there is no coherent answer when pressed for one. I know what I’m hearing behind those words, and it’s generally not positive loving things.…

Interpretation is for everyone
I used to be the plant engineer at a small company. One of my duties was running the maintenance department. There were anywhere from four to six people who reported to me. The main job of our maintenance department was to fix whatever was broken. Often some of the guys would be skittish about attempting…
