There are several requests in the prayer log. Why don’t you stop on over there, take a name and intercede on their behalf. Thanks. -r-

Don’t Know Much About Heresy
Cooke’s “Wonderful World” is about a man who doesn’t know much of anything but the fact that he loves his girl. In the hopes of her loving him back he aims to be number one, but he knows he’s woefully inept. Sometimes we can be like that when it comes to alternate Christian beliefs and sometimes we use words like heresy to describe these beliefs. Linking to the Archive, Curt noted that his illustration, in proximity to me, wound up having heretical ramifications (which he denies) and we wound up discussing (offline) what exactly defines a heresy and how does one deal with it.
In the past I’ve had wrestling matches with illustrations or analogies that would help understand the Tri-unity. All of the illustrations seemed to have a major flaw and it’s understandable that a finite metaphor breaks down when it comes to God. I’ll need your help in finding out at what point this illustration comes apart from reality.

Uplook Fridays: The Triumph of the Cross
Here is a matter which is often overlooked at the Lord’s Supper. It is
the Lord’s total destruction of the power of the enemy ({{Colossians
2:15}}). Satan’s power through the sin of his rebellion lay in the
setting up of a kingdom here on earth to forestall the kingdom which
God intended to establish through His beloved Son. This was a challenge
on the part of Satan to the dominion and authority of God, whose throne
is in the heavens and whose “kingdom ruleth over all” ({{Ps. 103:19}}).

Genesis Lifetimes -tmp(Gen 5)
I haven’t been posting much of my Bible studies as of late
(to my embarrassment and personal detriment) winding up shooting more from the
hip sometimes late at night or in some down time in the morning while eating a
bagel. This kind of posting, though, has proved exceedingly unfruitful since
I’ve wound up getting into arguments where I wouldn’t have
before.
