You have to love how technology makes things accessible to everyone. This might not help me much now since my greek is awful and approaching that of an infant ... http://biblearchive.com/blog/2008/blogspotting/codex-sinaiticus-online/ In a recent discussion about the validity of Trinitarian theology there was some questions about the use of the term "Son of God" as applied to Jesus. Some have argued that (1) the Son of God can't technically be part of the Godhead since the Son is the physical ... http://biblearchive.com/blog/2008/trinity/how-is-jesus-the-son-of-god/ I figured I should write something about the recent discovery of the Gabriel Tablet as they're calling it. New York Times asserts that this tablet might actually prove that Christianity isn't unique with its resurrections claims. What I found interesting about that bit is that most informed Christians don't make ... http://biblearchive.com/blog/2008/apologetics/ancient-tablet-proves-jesus-wrong/ Some have blurred the lines with the notion of earthly war and the concept of Biblical principles. For example, some atheists and agnostics use the wars in the Bible to show that Christianity is just as cruel as any other belief system when empowered but I think those groups make ... http://biblearchive.com/blog/2008/apologetics/is-war-biblical/ At times, we find that our logic has limits so we reach to our Bible and our Strong's concordance and find exactly how our opponent falls short of what Scripture Is Actually Saying.

My main point will be this: that the Gospel winds up being a practical help that can be used to cure any form of boasting evidenced in cynicism, pharisaicism and judgmentalism. To prove ... http://biblearchive.com/blog/2008/apologetics/the-gospel-the-great-equalizer/ Theologica is a Theological discussion forum started by Michael Patton of Reclaiming the Mind Ministries for the goal of having irenic, open discussion on theological matters. But acceptance of that sort of thinking is slow in coming thus I've seen several things percolate on the board. Folk have their own ... http://biblearchive.com/blog/2008/apologetics/words-that-dont-prove-a-thing/ As we grill or enjoy the sun or just sit down and do nothing, just remember to be grateful for the country we live in, the cost of the people who fought to ensure freedoms we enjoy today and look further back at a God who paid the ultimate price ... http://biblearchive.com/blog/2008/personal/memorial-day-2008/ The Christian Carnival is up at Parableman and he's also looking for hosts for upcoming Carnivals. I would love to do it again but I've been slammed with projects recently. http://biblearchive.com/blog/2008/uncategorized/christian-carnival-225-is-up/ I've tried to highlight certain assumptions: (1) the Church is made up of people; (2)that the Church could only come about after certain historical requirements were in place; and (3) that the Church's leadership  is divine (in other words: God is the church's leader).
