Raining Mana, again?

People, please, if it rains mana at your church, you are still under the Old Testament!!

Some people seem to love the "glamour" of mana raining at their church, yet, are not willing to see that God closed that chapter and moved on with his plan of salvation.

Poor souls, want to be chained with the Old Testament Law.

And then I get criticised for promoting the New Perspective on Paul!!

Is there anything N. T. Wright can't do?

If you had thought you had seen N. T. Wright doing all he could to get his message across, take a look a this!!!!

How some people live their lives

Luther again, now, the difference between men and women

“Men have broad shoulders and narrow hips, and accordingly they possess intelligence. Women have narrow shoulders and broad hips. Women ought to stay at home; the way they were created indicates this, for they have broad hips and a wide fundament to sit upon [keep house and bear and raise children].”  -- Martin Luther

[Please direct all your angry hate mail to Luther].

Via Zwinglius Redidivus

At Saddle Back, they read a woman's book for men's group. Joyce Meyer's book at that!!

There are no men manly enough to read his book? This is just distasteful if you ask me. Meyer, a word of faith teacher, have duped these men and now they are reading her.

Maybe they are getting in touch with their feminine side, but if they get together for Men's study, they should study from a man's point of view.

Call me sexiest, but there are things that men have to do by themselves in order to support one another.

Who was Amos?

At Bible and Interpretation, they have a fine essay by By Hallvard Hagelia Professor, Old Testament Studies Ansgar College and Theological Seminary, Kristiansand, Norway, on "Why Did Amos go to Samaria?


It is very interesting to read about the background to both Amos and his mission.


I commend you to read the whole article here.

Martin Luther's advice on reading Scripture

You should diligently learn the Word of God and by no means imagine that you know it. Let him who is able to read take a psalm in the morning, or some other chapter of Scripture, and study it for a while. This is what I do. When I get up in the morning, I pray and recite the Ten Commandments, the Creed, and the Lord's Prayer with the children, adding any one of the psalms. I do this only to keep myself well acquainted with these matters, and I do not want to let the mildew of the notion grow that I know them well enough. The devil is a greater rascal than you think he is. You do as yet not know what sort of fellow he is and what a desperate rogue you are. His definite design is to get you tired of the Word and in this way to draw you away from it. This is his aim (WA 32, 64f.) -- Martin Luther

John Calvin's on other people's salvation

God speaks to you that you may make the right decision. But God does not satisfy our curiosity as to what happens about other men who do not decide for Christ. What will be the ultimate fate of other men is not your concern; we may not and are not to know that, except in so far as we must realize that it is our duty not only ourselves to remain loyal to the way of Jesus, but as far as possible to help others to find the way that leads to life. It is not the consequence of our superior merit that we ourselves have found this way. We have not come to it because we are better than other people. It is the grace of God which has set our feet in that way. -- John Calvin 

$60,000 to get back a dog, while kids are going to sleep hungry

The Huffington Post is reporting of a guy who is willing to go to debt for his dog.

He loves the dog as he loves a son, or so he says.

If you ask me, this guy doesn't have a life. I pity him, not because he missed his dog, but because he needs to set his priorities right.

Watch his video, and judge for yourselves.

Pastor taking ex member to court far reviewing her past church

I just found out that the "pastor" is associated with John MacArthur.

This guy, says he preaches graces, yet advices a guy to take a home mother to court, and sue her and her daughter.

Never liked the guy, and I feel that I am confirmed in my dislike of him. It was confirmed when my cousin, who studied at his seminary, wanted to go back, yet, was refused, and all doors closed, because he had found Amillennialism more biblical. 

Seems like he is truly an abusive pastor, or not him, but the people under him, do his dirty work.
