Book Review: The Coming King and The Rejected Shepherd

Can you believe this???
Robert Schuller, said the following:
“I don’t think anything has been done in the name of Christ and under the banner of Christianity that has proven more destructive to human personality and, hence, counterproductive to the evangelism enterprise than the often crude, uncouth, and unchristian strategy of attempting to make people aware of their lost and sinful [...]

Book Review: Jesus & Utopia
Jesus & Utopia: Looking for the Kingdom of the God in the Roman World by Mary Ann Beavis
For starters, let me say that this book is very liberal, and takes what could be considered a very alternative starting point of view. (Yes, I read this in a day, it was short, only 108 pages). [...]

I was looking forward to getting my hands on this book and reading it. Some of it I didn’t find too interesting, specifically sections of paedobaptism (infant baptism) – because the ineffectiveness of such a practice is [...]

Tomb Found Follow Up
I watched the “Jesus Family Tomb” on the Discovery Channel last night as well as the roundtable discussion with Ted Koppel afterwards. Personally, I’m still a Christian .
The movie was interesting although made a lot “maybes” “what if” “perhaps” into seemingly definates.
I really enjoyed the discussion afterwards – the best part of that hour [...]

Homosexuality
In light of news like this (Lesbian converts to convert others), I think it is important for us to think about the debate around homosexuality and moral implications. Good thing others are thinking too. And it seems they are right on.

Animal Sacrifices To Resume?
CNN Article
YNET News Article
There are a few interesting things about these articles.
First off, that there is even discussion about this topic is rather amazing knowing the Bible speaks about the Temple needing to be rebuilt. There are people discussing these issues who are serious and are campaigning for it to be a reality.
Secondly, it also [...]
