    murdering ideas

    Pushing "the party line" against "the opposition" even when not invited to do so and when the topic needs no rebuttal is one way to kill an idea. It's a sort of murder. Not a crime. Just destructive - like the republican vs democrat thing in the USA.

    Know the truth - a short lived enlightenment.

    Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one. How is it that you say, 'You...

    The truth shall set you free

    Is the truth that makes one free in one's bible? Is it in one's relationship with Jesus Christ? Is it a myth?

    Can buyer's remorse extend all the way from food and goods to one's vote in a federal election?

    Is the bible enough and do you respect it when you dislike its use?

    How sweet are thy words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to observe thy righteous ordinances. Psalms 119:103-106

    Lies, damned lies, and politicians

    It is popular to denigrate political leaders because of their alleged untruthfulness and they do tell the public lies so the denigration is not entirely undeserved. In the USA there is an example of lies, damned lies, and Donald Trump's executive branch. In Australia we have Malcolm Turnbull and...

    Holiness

    Be holy (perfect) as the Lord is holy (perfect) (Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18; Matthew 5:38-48). Within these passages can be traced the development of Israel’s ethical standard and its subsequent reinterpretation by Jesus as well as its implications for the early Christian community (1 Corinthians...

    describe or change?

    Do the words of Christ describe reality or do they change reality? Now while they were eating the meal, Jesus took bread, and he blessed and broke and gave it to his disciples, and he said: "Take and eat. This is my body." And taking the chalice, he gave thanks. And he gave it to them, saying...

    I preach Christ and him crucified.

    Paul defended his preaching by stating that he preached Christ. He knew Christ and him crucified. The video below is a Palm Sunday sermon from 2016. Lent is approaching. Soon the season of Easter will be here. And Palm Sunday will come once more. This is a good time to think about Christ and him...

    AMD

    There's a new generation of AMD CPU chips due shortly. They used to be called Zen but now the official name is Ryzen. They are claimed to be fast and will allegedly compete against Intel high end i7 and Xeon chips. What do you think, will it please you to see AMD beating up Intel or is Intel...

    Deus Dixit.

    God has spoken. He first spoke The Word (see John 1:1). Later he spoke our cosmos into existence (see Genesis 1:1). And later still he spoke to us in his Son (see Hebrews 1:2). So, is the Word of God a book?

    A struggle to decide.

    I struggled about deciding where to put this post. Should it be here in Arts and Media or ought it be in Christian Theology. I decided on this place because everybody can comment on it here and not only Christians who accept the Nicene creed. This is a short video about the film Dr Strange. It...

    Antihistamines for works.

    Antihistamines for works are a necessity in theological discussions because some folk appear to be allergic to good works in any theological discussion. James says "faith without works is dead" and folk say "he really means that mere intellectual assent not faith". Or when he says "see, we are...

    A classic sci-fi with a sting in its tail.

    Fahrenheit 451 is it's name. Taken from a story by a science fiction writer named Ray Bradbury the story was first published in 1953 and the film was made in 1966. Ray Bradbury wrote it during the McCarthy era in the USA - a time when ideas were ruthlessly investigated any anything that did not...

    Every thought captive ...

    Does the thread title sound good? It comes from a verse in the bible. I suppose the way one reads it can make a difference in how good or bad it sounds. Do you long to have every thought captive? The verse reads thus: I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you---I who am said to be meek and mild...

    Sabbath keeping counts towards what, exactly?

    Some religions tell us that keeping a day each week is important. They say it counts for something. Judaism says to keep "Saturday" meaning a day starting at sunset Friday and ending at sunset Saturday. Muslims talk of "Friday" as a day of prayer. Christians traditionally reserve "Sunday" for...

    Crackers and cottage cheese - the making of theology.

    Sometimes I wonder why men and women write so much about God. It can seem as if they prefer to write about him more than to work with him. And as I nibble a cracker with cottage cheese on it I get to wondering about God and his perspective on me and us. Seems to me that theology is about...
