Questions About The Gospel
Saw this post on another blog - http://musings-from-the-chariot.blogspot.com/
Thought I would pose the same questions to our bloggers….
Did Jesus Preach a Different Gospel Than What is Preached Today?
When we talk about the gospel, we generally mean the idea that Jesus died to save us from our sins. However, when we read the [...]
Patriotism.
Everyone is doing it. There are American flags all over the place. You can hardly drive down your street without seeing those cute little ribbons. Most sporting events start off with a singing of the National Anthem. Most people identify the United States with God’s country. From its founding to current events, most people would [...]
Family.
I am thankful to have a family. They have all added and provided so much for me throughout my life. Lessons learned, experiences shared, memories made. As you grow you share qualities with each other which so often you adopt as your own mannerisms. I can remember the first time I sat a certain way [...]
I just started reading “The Mystery of The Kingdom of God: The Secret of Jesus’ Messiahship and Passion” by Albert Schweitzer. I’ve also read a bit of Ehrman, which I’ve also written about, and this school of thought (Ehrman speaks highly of Schweitzer) has a similiarity that is very apparent. Their largest [...]
American tradition usually dictates a time of reflection and remembrance for things that families are thankful for on Thanksgiving Day. Often times people will even take a time around a dinner table to list things that they are grateful for on that day. As the sky grows darker, bellies are stuffed, dishes piled up and couches are [...]
Saturday Morning Readings: Book Review
I’ve also read Erhman’s Jesus: The Apocalyptic Prophet of the New Millenium and I think it is fantastic. Of course he does not take the position of a believer or theologian, but of a historian. This leads him to say he cannot co-oberate Jesus’ miracles (but he firmly says [...]
Authorial Intent
I don’t think we can continue to approach the scriptures from a “word-by-word inspired” view-point. I think we have to recognize the Authors of the Bible as contributing something personal and human. Granted when YHWH speaks - those are his words and his words alone. However in the New Testament we [...]
If you’ve been reading things on the internet (I don’t have a TV to watch the news on, lucky me!) no doubt you’ve read a good amount about the Ted Haggard situation. Plenty of Christian blogs are picking up on this and disecting it from all sorts of angles.
Two things that I found wonderful [...]
Hello! I’d like to thank Victor for inviting me to post on Higher Ground. I’ve known him a long time and look forward to working with him here. I hope that we can meet a lot of people, and stir up a lot of discussion (his latest posts seem to do that [...]
Now or Later.
I was reading this section this morning and Jesus’ words really stood out to me. Thought I would point them out to you also:
John 5:1-15 - After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a [...]
