Reality resounds and remains by God’s say so; yet, like drunks dancing on thin ice, Men are the only creatures who presume to drown out His Divine utterances with their incoherent babble.

Due to their opponents embracing a faulty anthropology, Evangelicals have often been accused of having a Docetic view of Scritpure. “Come now! Scripture is a human book,” their opponents say “and that necessitates error—not only because humans are sinful (a minor point) but because humans are finite and necessarily make mistakes!”
An obvious fallacious conflation of categories: why conflate bad breath and miscalculations with affirming erroneous beliefs—indeed, even morally wrong beliefs (which they may use examples as slavery, monarchism or patriarchies)?
Yet, this question about the ontology of a human as it relates to a human product cannot be so easily brushed away when one approaches the letter to the Hebrews. The author looks beyond the human author to establish all his arguments—and this refutes the Nestorian(1), or even Kenotic Arian(2), view of Scripture.
Barring my faulty memory (and if I’m not lazy) I want to post prayers on Monday from all over Church History and then throughout the modern day, and then my own.

Dr. Briggs is more blunt and more explicit in his description of the changes which he thinks have been wrought. “I will tell you what criticism has destroyed,” he says in an article published a couple of years ago.” It has destroyed many false theories about the Bible; it has destroyed the doctrine of verbal inspiration; it has destroyed the theory of inerrancy; it has destroyed the false doctrine that makes the inspiration depend upon its attachment to a holy man.”
It would have been cool if this was Carnival 325: The Nicene Edition or some future carnival #381: The First Council of Constantinople edition, but this is the Christian Carnival 350: The Best Sequels Edition because it just keeps on going.
The blogs aren’t arranged in any particular order. Neither are the images which reflect some of the best sequels of all time (I dare you to name them all). But the blogs have all been read and enjoyed.
Indeed, this edition includes some newcomers and some bloggers from Carnivals, and Blogging Years, past. So enjoy!
