sequester roundup
1. The sequester represents 2.3% of the entire budget. Reason Magazine mocks this by offering a sequestration sale, 34 cents off the price of a subscription. Putting this in perspective, this is $120 billion per year out of a budget … Continue reading

best door to door preaching tutorial
Pastor Anderson has been “soul winning” more than anyone else I know. He probably has the best salvation message I have seen of any of these outreach preachers. He emphasizes the gospel: Christ, the son of God, died for our … Continue reading

Jesus was dirty
Over at CNN there is an excellent article on dismantling the clean image of Jesus. Literally speaking, Jesus was dirty in a literal sense. He suffered human problems, which could include things such as dysentery. Continue reading

the christian case against copyright
The Bible does not teach intellectual property. Copyright and patents did not exist in ancient Israel (or the rest of the ancient world). Instead they are a modern conception, forced into the Bible by modern Christians who think that their ways are higher than God’s.

Let Matthew 15:8 be the warning: Continue reading

Jesus and his secret teachings
So every time Jesus talks about anything related to the gospel as we know it, it is always to his disciples, it is never understood by anyone, it is widely rejected, and never is it tied to salvation (redeeming blood, a blood sacrifice, redemption, propitiation, or grace). Instead, the four gospels are laid out in a fashion we would expect. Jesus is introduced. His general gospel is explained. And any nuanced or secret teachings are revealed later. His public ministry was always about a coming Kingdom of God. It was never about his death and resurrection. Continue reading
