Comment on Book Review – ‘Misquoting Truth’ by Timothy Paul Jones by Why do you need my name.

Why do you need my name. — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 07:02:41 +0000

First of all, you need to understand that Ehrman and timothy Jones are not about the same thing. I am reading Ehrman now, and in just 3 pages, he has shown that the bible is not inerrant, and if it is by God then God must have been making a lot of mistakes. This “blog” is telling to that instead of reading Ehrman that you should read Timothy Jones who wrote a book to debunk to debunk Ehrman. The best solution is to get both books and judge for yourselves, think for yourselves not let a blog decide for you. You do the thinking and come up with your own conclusion.

Comment on Note-Keeping and Organization (3) – Digital vs. Non-Digital by Ted

Ted — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 03:07:10 +0000

I definitely appreciate that “Christianity is better compared to a farm, not a factory”. And I still prefer books as my method of “gathering information”, however I have moved quite a bit towards electronic “note storage” for the following reasons:

I like being able to “search” all my notes using a keyword. This can help me to find something I might not easily track down.

I type easier than I write, and when I have a page or more worth of thoughts, it saves me a few hand cramps.

I can use my computer to share selected notes with others via printing or thumb drive when desired.

I copy all my notes to 2 SD cards, one of which is contained in a jar in my yard. If my dwelling burns down, my lifetime of notes does not.

Lastly, and my favorite reason of all (here comes a plug) – I grew tired of keeping my notes in different bibles. When I outwore or gave a bible away, there went my notes. To fix this for myself, I wrote a bible note storage program. I eventually turned it into something I offer to others via free trial or retail version. This software (called NoteKeep) allows users to auto create any book, chapter, or verse note taking area on their computer via mouse click, and handles any other topic the user may desire as well. It also allows for searches etc.. It can be seen at http://www.thenotekeep.com.

Comment on Rap and Christianity: A New ‘Voice’ by AMC

AMC — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 16:13:35 +0000

Just came across this. This post is from number of years ago now, but there is plenty of christian rap groups spitting solid biblical truth. I do look at Cross Movement as the front runners to putting so much conviction and truth in their music and as time went on they have taken many more under their wings. i.e. Flame, Da’ Truth, Lecrae, and some of the new ones Young Josh, K Drama. Lampmode records is another label that puts out this awesome God centered rap. Shai linne being one that comes to mind. I remebered my wife finding Cross Movement when I was an older teenager. I listened to rap all my life for the most part. Obviously it was the bad stuff. When I heard the earlier christian rap I couldnt continue. One, the music was horrible and two, the lyrics were mostly weak and watered down. I’m so glad God used Cross Movement and many others since then to bring the truth in the form of hip hop/rap. God Bless all of them!

A very helpful list. Is it OK to re-arrange the 45 items into less than 10 groups, so that they are easy to read, understand and remember? Thank you. — a lay Christian (haven’t got theological education)

Comment on How to Waste Your Theological Education by theomusicologist

Hi there! Wowee, this post was not the thing to read as a ‘nice little vibe before bedtime…’ I hit the link expecting to learn something, but this level of rebuke was not what I’d envisaged. I’m totally in harmony with the other comments – I’ve been in academic theology for some time and am now preparing for seminary itself – but some of those points have stabbed my ego good and proper – and also illuminated some problems that I’ve been talking to God about in my own being. I am going to print this off, add it to my private devotional file and pray over it. THANK YOU!
