    Perissos Resources along with Theologyweb.com are discussing co-hosting a large theology convention in Jacksonville, FL March 1-3, 2013. We want to center the event around 2 formally-formatted 3-hour debates on eschatology (end-time philosophy) and a benefit banquet with a well-known keynote speaker. We're also considering inviting several ministries to speak and raise awareness, hold book/media signings, and have several panel discussions. Some of you know we've done two small TWeb staff conventions in the past (2007, 2009), but we think it's time to do a much bigger event that will almost feel like TWeb, only in person.

    Our primary objective is to bring glory to God and see His kingdom advance. To that end, we want minister ...

    A few of you around here may have heard of JP Holding. He was gracious enough to contribute this article to my ministry website, for which I am humbly grateful! I'm reprinting it here, as I have done with previous articles, and we both welcome your comments.

    The original article appears here.

    BY THREE - THE TRINITY IN A NUTSHELL
    By James Patrick Holding

    The Trinity may be the hardest idea in Christianity for some people, but it is easier to understand once we have some facts in hand.
    A good question to start is, What is the best analogy to explain the Trinity? There isn't one that is perfect. But the best is like this:
    • Father = a lamp, star, or other light source

    I'm working on an article for my website on various diets and their effectiveness, popularity, and possible dangers. I'd really appreciate it if you would participate here and let me know if you've tried any of these or would like to suggest I review another plan. If you provide a link, that'd be awesome.

    Here are some of the diet plans I'm reviewing with brief descriptions from the websites I've linked to :

    Caloric Cycling

    Basically, if you reduce calories too much, the body's metabolic rate slows down and inhibits your ability to lose weight. But at the same time, you must reduce your caloric consumption or there's no way you can burn off those unsightly love handles.The key therefore, is to ...

    Our Own ApologiaNick's Awesome Story!

    Published on September 15th 2010 10:57 AM

    I have an area of my new website called "Portraits of God," which features the testimonies and stories of extraordinary people through whom we can see our Heavenly Father at work. I chose to feature Theologyweb's ApologiaNick and his new bride toodlesdoodles because I find their story heartwarming and encouraging. As well, Nick wrote one of the best poems I have ever read to his bride-to-be which, when I saw it published on Facebook, inspired the decision to lift this precious couple up as a testimony to the glory of God.

    Now, I know not everyone here on TWeb is a Nick-lover. He has graciously granted permission to share these personal and intimate details of his personal life and his heart with the TWeb community. ...

    Published on July 16th 2010 02:04 PM

    I'd like to start this post by making it clear that this thread is intended to stand as an permanent resource (sticky) in the Perissos Resources forum, which is in the Intra-Varsity Relations department. That means I'm a guest ministry and not engaging in heated debate as such. So, behave yourselves! I'm going to be referring my clients and friends to this forum and would like them to feel encouraged to stick around and get to know TWeb.

    I'm in the process of building up my ministry's website over the next couple of months. So, it's not living up to its full potential at the moment, but it will flourish before the eyes of any who care to watch in the coming weeks. There's a link in my sig.

    There is NO bad time or place to worship God

    Who said you needed to be in church sitting in a formal Worship Service to worship God? I didn’t, neither did you! So I spent the first hour of my day worshipping God. And while your day has already begun there’s no better time than right now to spending ten minutes or so worshipping God. I’ve included a couple of songs and a scripture to help you.

    First a song sung by Josh Turner titled “The Long Black Train”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyRZTAmcW7c

    Psalms 146:1-10 MSG: “Hallelujah! O my soul, praise GOD! All my life long I'll praise GOD, singing songs to my God as long as I live. Don't put your life... read more

    When what you do is not enough

    “The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, "The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in Him!" The LORD is good to those who depend on Him, to those who search for Him. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the LORD.” (Lamentations 3:22-26 NLT, emphasis mine)

    Have you ever did something then afterwards had the “gut wrenching” feeling that it wasn’t enough? Remember the story of the young rich man who walked away from Jesus because he couldn’t do as Jesus had asked him? Remember Peter’s remarks about... read more

    Passed On What I Received

    Is there an authentic tradition of an earthly Jesus?

    The link can be found here

    The text is as follows:

    Did Paul receive a creed from another, or was it something else? Let's talk about it on Deeper Waters.

    The point has been argued that when Paul says he passed on what he received in 1 Cor. 15, that that is the language that is used in Galatians 1 and Galatians 1 refers to a divine revelation. This leads us to the conclusion that Paul is not passing a creed that he has received, but sharing a revelation he has had of a divine and heavenly Jesus that later got turned into an earthly one.

    Yes. That really is what is being argued.

    So what are we to make... read more

    Moses, you, and the un-consumable burning bush

    One day Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock far into the wilderness and came to Sinai, the mountain of God. There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the middle of a bush. Moses stared in amazement. Though the bush was engulfed in flames, it didn't burn up. "This is amazing," Moses said to himself. "Why isn't that bush burning up? I must go see it." When the LORD saw Moses coming to take a closer look, God called to him from the middle of the bush, "Moses! Moses!" "Here I am!" Moses replied. "Do not come... read more

    The Brother of the Lord

    Does this show the existence of Jesus?

    The link can be found here

    The text is as follows:

    Is James really a brother to a historical figure? Let's talk about it on Deeper Waters.

    Yesterday, I wrote about the problem of internet atheists and gave the Christ-myth as an example. I can anticipate that someone will ask me about the claims of Richard Carrier. I figured it would be good to look at some of the claims that are made against Jesus being a real historical figure and for a start, thought that I'd look at the passage that talks about James being the brother of the Lord.

    Now if James is a brother to someone, it would be self-evident that that person either now exists... read more

    A strong and trustworthy anchor for your soul

    This morning in my prayer journal I wrote, “LORD, my imagination is filled with junk like that. I am struggling hard against the pull of “powers and principalities of this world” but they are (at least right now) becoming stronger and stronger. I can’t pull myself up and as hard as I try I cannot envision any hope I know the songs they are singing are not right but they seem so right. Please Father God drown them out with your songs of HOPE and PEACE. PLEASE!”

    Why I Ignore Most Internet Atheists

    Including a number on here.

    The link can be found here

    The text is as follows:

    Why is it sometimes best to just not bother? Let's talk about it on Deeper Waters.

    Before leaping into the meat of this post, let's make a few clarifications.

    No. Not every atheist is an internet atheist. I refer to a general type of person by this. If you are on the internet and an atheist and are highly informed and can show it and have done your homework on what you and I both believe, then I do not consider you an internet atheist.

    Yes. I realize too many Christians are just as ignorant. If you think I've been silent on this matter, then you haven't been reading my blog... read more

    Stay Vertical

    With my two artificial hips and extremely fragile femurs one of my greatest fears over the winter months is slipping and falling on ice and snow now that there is no more ice and snow I still fear falling in the yard or riding my bike. One of my favorite sayings throughout the year is “Stay Vertical!” In other words don’t fall!

    However, my fear of falling goes beyond physically falling and injuring myself it “falls” into my spiritual life as well. It was Paul who said, “We have all fallen short of the Glory of God.” In his letter to Titus he STRONGLY reminds us to stay “upright” (stay vertical) “in the present age” because just as in his days there... read more
