Why You’re Here

You came from the Bible Archive Mag-Site and you are dying to say something: be it a correction, a refutation, an agreement or take up the call to storm my castle. Either way, feel free to voice your opinion and if you are a brother or sister in Christ realize that I am weak and may need some patience.

Rey’s Wacky Comments Section

My commenting system has always been a bit of a hassle. I downloaded a free one and it was a spam magnet that often crashed my server. I bought one and the guy stopped doing updates to it—and it never really worked. I am currently testing one and I have to keep my eyes on the settings in the backend. So if you see a strange spinning wheel after you comment, wait five seconds then refresh the page to see if your comment is there. If it’s not—drop me an email. I would much appreciate it. Thank you kindly!

Say It With Me: Propitiation

Rebecca has a post looking at the word propitiation, its usage and a challenge to figure out another word that can fit in its place. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your bend in modern bible translations) I’m all for the actual word propitiation but I also readily admit that there might be a shift of usage depending on the Biblical author. Paul might be making an allusion to the OT mercy seat and John may be referring to what the mercy seat offering accomplished in a general sense. So whereas Paul might be saying "God publicly (instead of behind a veil) revealed the place where God’s wrath was turned away and satisfied in the person of His Son on the cross" John would be saying "Jesus Christ is the atoning sacrifice for the world, but for us believers especially."

Be that as it may, I’ll play and try to update (if not dumb down) the actual word.
