The Bible is full of humor, including a reference to a false god turning aside to take a bathroom break (1 Kings 18:27). I agree that we need to be careful in avoiding crass humor that may turn off potential believers or trivialize important manners, but to say that the Bible does not include...

Thanks, Martin, for sharing that! Well done. :)

Marta, I sympathize with your feelings because I have them from time to time as well. It's okay that you're having these feelings if they're not paralyzing you. If you're really having trouble with them, I recommend prayer and then consulting with a medical professional if it's something that's...

And, just to clarify on my end, my caution is for Christians not to latch on to every scientific discovery (nor every supposed one for that matter) and find it in the Bible. The Bible contains a passage that speaks to a water cycle in one sense, but that doesn't mean that it delineates every...

I would have guessed low-church Pentecostal Anglican! Darn! Welcome to the community!

The latter. I used deconstructionism in the broad sense a bit here, but it's applicable nonetheless. Wormwood did a solid job of summing it up from a philosophical viewpoint, but I would submit that deconstructionism often results in anachronistically attributing characteristics to authors. In...

Topic moved to the Unorthodox area.

Well, I guess I would be the first yes. It's complicated. I think we should be very careful of associating any political party with the elect. Even though the group is rapidly shrinking, I know many blue dog Democrats who are Democrats because some of the economic issues. I understand that the...

http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/problem-truth-triumphalism/ Recommend the above read for all of us!

I feel like I somewhat have the ability to weigh in here with a little knowledge gleaned from my time in college given that critical interpretation is a piece of my English BA. Number one, just be careful of tightly associating your faith with the latest scientific discoveries. Any good...

Belated thanks, all. Yes, the party is pretty much over...it was funner when you were a kid! ;)

Thank you, thank you! Funny story is that it's both Father's Day and my birthday here! It's been a great weekend spent with family!

Luke 18:19-23 A ruler asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good but One—God. You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery; do not murder; do not steal; do not bear false witness; honor your father and...

That's a bit misleading because it operates in the vacuum of not covering what is done with those funds. For instance, I've not seen the images of Sproul with luxurious homes and fancy jets. Instead, I am pretty sure that he broadcasts all across the country, other countries and carries out many...

Moved per request of the OP, thanks! :)

River, my anger over the fundamentalist boogeyman narrative left me reading recorded as recorded history. Like any good story, the words were chosen to almost but not quite say this. The headline is rather sensationalist because the record goes back no more than 20-30 years in some cases, but I...

Daniel, my apologies for not seeing this; feel free to send me a PM if I don't respond for a time! Yes, there was a major jump in functionality and rendering from IE9 to IE10. We are still on IE9 at work, so I understand your frustrations and limitations. The good news is that it won't. At...

Did you forget to read the headline, then? That would seem to be the claim...

I'm beginning to think you a troll. Again, go back to all of the charts. I'm afraid that I am unsure of any other way to state it, sans quoting your original post.

All of the Vox infographics/charts are 1950, best-case scenario. They're snapshots of data, which is what the whole article is premised upon.
