  • Anglican Priest's Wrong Choice of Words

    Jim West has posted his latest “excoriation” of the Anglican Priest who suggested that it was okay to “shoplift” if need required.  Jim states: I’m right firstly because there is NO biblical justification for theft.  None.  Not a passage nor a theologically undergirded interpretation of any passage permits theft.

  • Consign it to Sheol!

    I think that’s going to be my new way of cursing something that won’t get me into trouble.  “Darn it to heck” just doesn’t really do anything for me. PS – And, to any snooty Biblical scholars wanting to rain on my parade, I’m well aware sheol and hell are not synonymous. Today’s other posts:…

  • Doug Chaplin on the KJV Superiority Challenge

    I don’t want to give away the whole post, but you might like to check out Doug Chaplin’s comments on the KJV superiority challenge (this was new to me).  Doug lays out the KJV and NRSV of 2 Corinthians 6.11-13 side-by-side before giving this conclusion: If your ear for the English language suggests the former…

  • If English Lacked Vowel Letters in Writing, …

    archaeologists hundreds of years from now might think we worshiped King David.  They would find all kinds of things with DVD stamped all over them and perhaps not realize that this is an abbreviation.  Oh … that was so lame.

  • What My Blog Stats Say about those Attending SBL

    I’ve been blogging a lot about SBL with it being in my hometown this year.  But, what do my stats say about those attending?  Recently I’ve posted on: Switchfoot Beer Cheap Food Hanging out with me Hurricane Katrina A Disney Exhibit at the Museum of Art Which posts have drawn the most attention? Here’s the…

  • Equidistant Letter Sequence Research on Jim West's Comment Policy

    Reveals that he is in fact the AntiChrist and spawn of Satan.  Using OnlineBibleCode.com (Thank God for their wonderful, Bible believing ministry!) I have been able to prove this beyond any shadow of a doubt.   Jim West’s comment policy has been the subject of a number of posts recently.  And, I wondered why he would…
