We got up bright and early on Thursday to go see the lifesize reproduction of the Ark of Noah. Much like the Creation Museum, you see a few signs to point you in the right direction, but when you get there, the entrance sign almost comes as a surprise. You…
AiG Roadtrip Day 1: The Creation Museum
We returned yesterday from a trip to northern Kentucky, just south of Cincinnati. Where have you heard that before? Well if you subscribe to the one-minute-per-day podcast of Ken Ham, he mentions the location of their facilities regularly. We had eleven in our group, including my parents and my sister…
Is your pastor a scoffer? Allow an apostle to define the term before you answer.
2 Peter 3 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through…
Testosterone
I visited another church last week and encountered something that troubled me. Since I am known at this church and get along well with the pastor there, I dropped him a note after a short discussion on the day of the visit. Am I meddling or trying to be helpful?…
About last night
I realize I have not yet released my next installment in the study of “Supernatural” by Michael Heiser. Life happens, busy days come, you get it. I am no longer a “once a day” blogger, nor am I one that has an overriding need to remain in a theme until…

The Book of Enoch

Divine Rebellions: Part 2 “The Nephilim”
My original intent for this series was to take each chapter and write a blog post. I did not break this one into two posts because of its length or its extensive references. I did so because I was disappointed in the general lack of scholarship in the first part…
Divine Rebellions: Part 1
I don’t recall for sure, but I think we’re getting into the sections where Michael Heiser is willing to get off-topic for the sake of… what? Building a straw man? Oh, I guess it would be good to explain what a strawman fallacy is. In certain circles, debate is allowed…
Once and Future Kings
“Once a king or queen in Narnia, always a king or queen. Bear it well, Sons of Adam! Bear it well, Daughters of Eve!” Aslan from “The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis In my last post, I shared a concept that I have been noodling on…
