If you know how to read and write then you are using extra biblical knowledge to decipher scriptures.

That would be a case of either bad hermeneutics or poor student...dunno because I wasn't there. But in every case I've seen that proper hermeneutics requires history, anthropology, horticulture, topography, cartography, and geography...a little biology knowledge doesn't hurt either...

But the broader implications I was referring to was the sickness of sin. People want salvation but they don't want the requisite love requirement. And that's the really sad part.

Then exactly what are you basing the curriculum you teach? Emanations from the penumbra perhaps?

The fact that all of the Gospel writers except for Luke were personally trained by Jesus is the thing here. Luke was trained by Paul. But each learned and was capable and able to teach others what they knew. The leader of the apostles being Peter who was one of the least formally educated...

John's Gospel is the easiest for these sorts of questions. And then you think of the story where Jesus asked a crippled man a strange question. "Do you want to be well?" Why would Jesus ask such a question when the answer most of us would think is obvious? Because the sad truth is that most...

One of the things that I always marvel over is the three different Gospel accounts (excluding John for a moment because he has a different focus) Matthew is focused on the Jewish scholar. Mark is focused on the common Jewish man. Luke is focused on the Roman Empire. All three are very...

Canadian Bacon is the marketing term for a pork loin that has been cured and smoked in a similar fashion as the ham or even bacon. Few really know the difference. But... Ham and pineapple and mozzarella cheese with that sweet/salty combination is good. People have been eating salted...

And again today while this latest spike in infections is growing in Nashville my best friend's wife is sick. She has had to work as a pharmacist in Walmart during all of it. She has been really careful too. Has been all along. She knew what was coming next week with our Thanksgiving plans. She...

A teacher is a teacher...no doubt that we all teach something as we go through life with the many interactions with others. But... What brings those around to want to listen to what knowledge you have to pass on? Obviously Justbyfaith is like many others who claim that they haven't seen...

Just got a text saying that my friend's wife has pneumonia...they just left the hospital and are home... she is going to get tested tomorrow. But it basically means that Thanksgiving is cancelled this year. :(

Uh oh... My friend's wife just went into the hospital with pneumonia tonight. She's getting tested tomorrow. She is a pharmacist...she has had to work this whole pandemic. But this also means that likely Thanksgiving is cancelled.

Meh, The missus and I will be cooking for a family of four including the two boys...the boys asked if I would do it again this year. And I'm a firm believer that: Friends don't let friends eat Cracker Barrel for Thanksgiving. So...it will be a lot of work and fun.

On Monday here in Nashville TN... All groups of 8 or more inside of the city limits are prohibited.

Well, Considering that there are more people that truly believe that lizard people from outer space are actually running the Government than the number of practicing Jews in the world... They are going to stamp out the crazy theories by making it mandatory. There's nothing else to do with it.

The only thing that says anything to these people is money and power. Anything else in their mind is secondary and not relevant. That's why the conspiracy theories about wearing masks, Covid-19 is fake, "God will protect you" and Anti-vac propaganda. They really don't care if you get sick...

Actually the Governor of NY should be the first one to face trial...so should the Mayor of NYC. Both fought tooth and nail about quarantines in the beginning, and then once finally implemented they sent seniors back to Covid infected nursing homes to get sick and die.

There's a recently completed serious science article done by a true research University. When people promote this stuff what is usually missing is something called "Peer review". This is where other research scientists look over everything that you have done from methods and number...

In the kitchen sweetheart... In the kitchen. On the night before Thanksgiving I got two batches of bread to make, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and Watergate salad... Then Thursday morning I got the rest of the dance to pull off with the roasting of the turkey, dressing, gravy, sweet potatoes...

I just got the dancing yet to do for it...
