1 John 1:1-10 Greek Reflection

As some of you know, I am currently taking Greek Syntax and Exegesis online at  SBTS.  One of our requirements is to record ourselves reading and reflecting on the Greek text without notes, English translations, or help.  This exercise is certainly a “stretching exercise” designed to stretch us beyond mere memorization to being able  to [...]

How do we know anything?

Epistemology is the study of knowledge, but it may be helpful to consider it as the study of the basis of knowledge or just how people know what they know.  The concept is very important to consider because different people base their knowledge on very different presuppositions.  For example, a naturalist will look at the [...]

Resurrection: Our True Hope

I am afraid that most do not quite grasp the significance of resurrection in our day.  I think if you asked, most people see Heaven as the believer’s immediate destination after death, but that is NOT what our hope is based on.  As believes, we don’t look forward to a disembodied existence in the spiritual [...]

To Eat or not to Eat: Will there be Breakfast in Heaven?

Well, the couple singing below says no, and they praise God with it.  I say yes because we will be resurrected into physical bodies, but really this post is not about a theological discussion because this video is just funny.  Enjoy: (You may need to click through some feeds to see it)

How often should we keep the Lord’s Supper?

Dr. Jim Hamilton continued to “Stir the Pot” yesterday asking the question, “How often should a church take the Lord’s Supper?” in a post that can be read here.
Hamilton offers some exegesis on the texts describing the practice and offers the following thought:
…I think, that if we become convinced that the earliest church took the [...]

How should the books of the OT be ordered?

Dr. Jim Hamilton poses this interesting question in a guest spot over at Moore to the Point in a post that can be read here.
Maybe you thought the Bible was just brought down from heaven in a nice leather bound package complete with red letters and study notes, but the reality is that the books of [...]

What do you feel like eating today?

Is that really the question we should be asking?
Think about it. What do you really feel like eating today? Maybe steak and lobster, prime rib, pasta, cheesecake, ice cream, or cookies are the things you feel like eating. Really, the question is, “What should we eat today?
You may want a steak from Prime Steakhouse wherever, [...]
