    Jeremiah 17:10 But I am the Lord, and I can look into a person’s heart. I can test a person’s mind and decide what each one should have. I can give each person the right payment for what they do. Calvin discusses the cross John Calvin’s Theology of the Cross as Theological Theology

    If our interpretation of scripture sidesteps common sense, did we get it right?

    Because God specifically created three separate races, he must have wanted them to stay separate from each other. God must value “pure” bloodlines and therefore, people embraced YEC as one rationale for the promotion of segregation. Because Noah had once pronounced a curse over his son Ham, YEC...

    I will try to inform them of the truth once to see if the problem is their ignorance, but if they don’t immediately change their mind to agree with me, I’ll conclude that one of the other two options must be true, and practically speaking, it doesn’t matter whether they are deceived or are...

    On top of the problems just mentioned, the doctrine of the Anointed Intellect leads to at least three incredibly bad consequences.

    If our interpretation of scripture sidesteps common sense, did we get it right?

    The second problem is more dangerous, though. The second problem is the presupposition all Christians make that their understanding of God is the right understanding of God. That’s why I used the phrase above “thinking my God is the source of all understanding.” It’s not wrong to think that God...

    lol to that sign in last post. Review I think there are three reasons Christians tend to be anti-intellectual, and I’ve covered the other two in previous posts. The first reason came from 1 Corinthians 2:1-2bible:1Cor2.1-2%7Cres=LLS%3AESV']: In summary, I said that Christians wanted a simple...

    Sirach 1:1 Foreword The Law, the Prophets, and the later writers have left us a wealth of valuable teachings, and we should praise Israel for the instruction and wisdom they provide. But it is not enough that those who read them should gain understanding for themselves. Anyone who values...
