  • The Doctrine of Retribution

    I have been sick for three whole days now and my throat is really, really killing me.  Now the sickness is being visited on my children … I wonder what I have done wrong?!

  • This Psalmist Must Have Never Had Children

    Today’s responsorial Psalm blew my mind, but not in some super spiritual way.  Psalm 131 reads as follows: 1 O Lord, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me. 2 But I have calmed and quieted…

  • I Now Have the #1 Biblioblog …

    Among those listed as Postgraduates, Graduates, and Undergraduates that is.  According to the new Biblioblogs by academic qualifications list, Jim West is listed under “Professors and Doctors” and Joel Watts and Matt Dabbs are listed under “Unknown Qualifications.”  That then makes me #1 among those listed as Postgraduates, Graduates, and Undergraduates.  That is something that…

  • Jim West's Tattoo

    Jim West has been pointing out some Biblioblogger tattoos.  So, I thought it only fair for someone to reveal his. He really does love Twitter after all.  That is some real devotion!

  • Last Month #36 … This Month #…

    4! That’s right. My blog was up 32 spots to number 4 among the Biblioblog Top 50 this month. Finally getting the props that I so assuredly deserve. Another month of that juggernaut type growth and I may become a top challenger to you know who. Sorry Joel. And, I’m sorry to all of you…

  • Bad News for Twilight Fans – God Hates New Moons

    Isaiah 1.14: Your new moons and your appointed festivals my soul hates; they have become a burden to me, I am weary of bearing them. Just kidding.  Not the same New Moon obviously.  But, this may be the first in a long line of “new moon” references from the Bible to be featured on this…

  • On My Recent Work as an End-time Correspondent

    I recently did some work as End-time correspondent doing a phone interview while conducting some field work (i.e. driving to work).  This was in relation to my identification of the AntiChrist.  For those who are interested, be sure to check out the interview for some of my thoughts.  This audio would be of particular interest…

  • My Idea for Countering the Book Burning – It Involves Fire

    So, I’ve posted previously about this King James Only church Bible and book burning deal and how I think we can get these folks to lighten up.  But, I’ve decided that we as students of the Bible and Biblical scholars need to take this a little bit more seriously.  That’s why I would like to…

  • Video Illustration for Psalm 124

    Psalm 124:7 “We escaped with our lives like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare was broken and we escaped.” Thought he had one … but it got away.

  • Mark Goodacre on Comedy in the Gospels

    HERE is an interesting post by Mark Goodacre on humor in the Gospels and how it is often lost on modern readers who do not know how the audience reacted.  If nothing else, I think at least one sentence in the post is quotable, and I will try to remember.  Mark states: Unfortunately, the narrator…
