Random thoughts from daily Bible readings

I’ve been doing a Bible reading plan where you read 10 chapters a day from different parts of the Bible.  More on that later.  I thought I’d blog on some of the things that stood out to me.
1. Note the references to knowledge in this passage — just one of many refutations of the “blind [...]

More False Teachers ‘R Us

Just a quick Saturday morning fisk of the latest inanities of the “Reverend” Chuck Currie (the unrepentent liar and class act who thought Wanda Sykes’ bit for Obama was hysterical and who claims, without evidence, that some Christian aid groups only help heterosexuals).
Liberty University, the “school” founded by the late Jerry Falwell, has banned a student [...]

Bait & switch = bad idea. Forgetting to switch = really bad idea.

The Bible teaches that we should not use trickery to share the Gospel.
1 Thessalonians 2:1-6 You know, brothers, that our visit to you was not a failure. We had previously suffered and been insulted in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in spite [...]

“There is no homosexual agenda!”

Uh, except for this one, that the gay lobby, the mainstream media, the entertainment industry and liberal “Christians” follow to the letter.  I encourage you to read and share the whole article.  As much as its proponents try to deny there is an agenda, the truth is there for all to see.
Some samples:
On “hate crimes” laws: [...]

Bibliolators?

One of the pet terms that theological liberals like to call authentic Christians is bibliolators, implying that we worship the Bible more than Jesus.  I imagine they release plenty of endorphins over their supposed cleverness but the pejorative fails on two levels.
First, it is false.  We don’t worship the Bible, we worship the God who revealed himself [...]

The power of Satan

It was with great sadness that I learned that a theologically liberal blogger was going to spend many, many thousands of dollars and countless hours going to some form of seminary.  I grieve for him and how he will spread his false teachings to a broader audience and I grieve for those he will mislead.  [...]

A different kind of denier

Holocaust deniers are routinely derided for their ridiculous statements, and rightly so.  But what is sad is that there are so many Christians who perpetuate a different kind of denial about the Jewish people, and that is teaching that they don’t need the Gospel.  For example, transparently false teachers like Chuck Currie parade as ministers of [...]

False teacher fesses up

I commented on a post at Marshall’s and that got a couple of my fans all fired up.  They seem to have some bitterness issues and used the thread to work out some anger.  That’s inexpensive therapy, I suppose.  One I just ignored, as usual.  It works well. 
But another one was too much fun to [...]

Why would you care what they think about the Bible?

I can’t imagine why anyone would want to attend a seminary, church or even participate in a Bible study led by a theological liberal.
Consider that these folks read the Bible and do not see the following:

Jesus is the only way to salvation — only about 100 direct and indirect passages about that, not to mention [...]

The social gospel: Coveting disguised as religion

Update: Be sure to read Bubba’s comment below, which, as usual, is better written than my post.  Lots of great points, including this one:

As free human beings, we can certainly choose to emphasize temporary bread over the Bread of Life, but we have no business doing so in Jesus’ name.

———-
The social gospel is just coveting [...]

Saved and confused

Cue the Led Zeppelin soundtrack . . .
The mark of a Christian is faith in Jesus Christ.  See the criminal on the cross for exhibit A.  He never tithed, read the Bible, took communion, spoke in tongues, got baptized, did good works, wore the right clothes, sang the right songs, etc. but he was saved by faith [...]

Who are you talking to?

We have a mixed audience here, so I try to cover a variety of things.  But I mainly just write about what I want to write about.  This is just one facet of my life and the posts here don’t reflect the same ratio of where I spend most of my time and energy. 
I’m not [...]

Trespassing doesn’t sound so bad, does it?

 The Lord’s prayer is often used with the word trespass instead of sin. 
Luke 11:4  Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

But we tend to think of trespassing as a misdemeanor at worst.  But is it really a petty crime in God’s economy? 

We [...]

Liberal theology: Ignorance, wimpiness or deceptiveness?

Chuck Currie, the UCC poster boy for false teaching, was at it again when attacking the Jews for Jesus organization.
Are non-Christians doomed to the fires of hell for their lack of faith in Jesus? No.
That seems rather dogmatic for someone who says the remaining things that Chuck does.  Chuck’s human understanding – which he makes [...]

Satan doesn’t mind being inconsistent

Humans have an innate desire to appear consistent with prior statements we make, but Satan or his demons will tell you whatever lies you are most likely to believe, such as:

You don’t need to be forgiven and an eternity in Hell is not the consequence for your sins – he’ll point you to the culture or [...]

Weekly roundup

Check out Timothy’s post on global warming proponents.  It continues to be an unprecedented, unlimited political power grab.  Some good news:
It’s been a bad year for global warming alarmists. Record cold periods and snowfalls are occurring around the globe. The hell that the radicals have promised is freezing over.
A poll found that 60% of them [...]
