Dirt Cheap Time Lapse Dolly

I’d seen a few time-lapse dollies on the ‘net and decided to make one.

Most of the designs I’d seen looked fairly elaborate, and some of them were costly. I figure if I’m going somewhere and hauling some equipment, a few extra pounds might not matter – especially if I can shave […]

Who is the “God of this age”?

In 2 Cor 4, who is the “god of this age”?

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the […]

Common Ground on Free Will and Predestination

On the question of Free Will vs Predestination, some people would say that people who believe in Free Will do not agree with those of us who believe in Predestination.

Actually, we do agree on one point: we both agree that they have been predestined to think they have Free Will.

Unity, Diversity and Charity

When it comes to differences of faith, we often repeat the saying “In essentials, Unity. In non-essentials, Diversity. In all things, Charity.”

While this is a necessary process, we have to first determine who gets to decide what is essential and what is not?

What criteria do they use?

Where do they get their criteria, […]

Mercy Light?

I’ve heard a couple of Bible teachers recently make the following statement, using almost the exact same phrase:

God doesn’t give additional light until the light that’s been given has been received.

Two of the people that I’ve heard repeating this statement regularly teach the Word of God to various audiences. As best as I […]

Creation: Just Add Water??

If you’re reading this page, it’s probably because you believe that there is a God and that He’s all powerful – so powerful that He has the ability to create an entire universe. After all, that’s precisely what He did. If you subscribe to an Old Earth view of creation, I’d like to pose two […]

Questions

Just a few questions that have bounced off my head at one time or another. I’ve figured out some Biblical answers to many of them, but figured I’d post them here in case you get insomnia. Some of the questions are whimsical, and suitable for all. However, some of the questions have some pretty severe […]

Passages of Fury

The other day I ran into a guy that corrected me when I happened to say that God calls His people to rejoice when He destroyed their enemies.

He: “That’s not right!!! We’re to do all things through love and patience and goodness!”

Me: “Did God tell His people to rejoice when He destroyed their […]

Why Debating is a Biblical Mandate

IMHO, Acts 15 is the 2nd most important chapter in the book thus far. It gives us a brief overview of the first great debate for the people of “The Way”. At issue: was circumcision a requirement for salvation (v5)? There are several parts about The Great Debate (or “The Jerusalem Council” as it’s more […]

Holy Spirit: In or On – Part 2

This is a follow up to my previous article on the association of the Holy Spirit to the believers in the OT and NT.

Here’s a table to all the references I can find in the Bible where the Spirit of God (or Christ) is said to affect a person. The words used are typically […]
