Hard to believe that 7 years ago today, we were just taking little baby TWeb home from the hospital. They grow up far too quickly!
Thanks to everyone that has made TWeb such a resounding success. Unfortunately, the last six months have been a very tumultuous time for the personal lives of many of us on staff, and we had many great plans for a great celebration for today that just could not be completed in time.
So, today is going to be a little simpler. I for one... [Read More]

This was my final presentation for English 1 at Ventura Community College. We were asked to pick a topic that we were passionate about. I picked something that I was unfamiliar with; but which is something that was nagging at my subconscious at the time (2008.) The most disturbing thing about my oral presentation is that as impassioned as I had become about it, speaking with conviction, scarcely an eye batted at the content. Have we become comfortably numb?
"Godless"
The United States is going to Hades in a handbasket. Moral subjectivism is the vile and malignant cancer that is corrupting this generation, or more aptly degeneration. The idea is akin to the theory of relativity, in that people who subscribe to it believe that people should decide what is right or wrong for themselves. People think that they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, to whomever they want and nothing will happen to them. They are convinced that they are immune to consequences, but they are sorely mistaken. The consequences are inflicted upon them as well as everyone they encounter. Moral subjectivism is a viral contagion that is spreading throughout America like influenza, threatening the well-being of every citizen.
To make an analogy, the problem can be likened to a game played by teams from all over the world. The game is football, only in the United States is it called soccer. In this instance the match is played by ten different teams on one field, but each team observes a different set of rules. Some of the teams' play is punctuated by the use of excessive force and they don't recognize the fouls that other of the teams allege; as a matter of fact they don't even understand the languages of their disgruntled opponents. Team members get badly hurt, one or two sustain injuries that cripple them for a lifetime. All the while the game is officiated by a deaf mute referee who doesn't have arms nor a whistle; the linesmen are drunk in the bleachers and flirting with soccer moms. As long as every player gets paid, "Who cares?" describes the mentality. This is a definitive picture of a world without moral standards.
Men in the United States have become despicably perverted. Most men in the United States wouldn't hesitate to rape a woman if they knew that there would be no chance of getting caught. In one study of 2,972 men it was found that,... [Read More]

I get tired of hearing the terminology about a personal relationship also and I love the way Princesa put it. We need to elevate the way we relate to God to a higher level than our current relationships. We don't need to bring him down to that level. Well said Princesa. Your mother was very wise.

This is a non-debate thread.
Throughout the thread, entries in the 4th section (Analysis) will consist of excerpts from A Grammatical Analysis of the Greek New Testament, by Max Zerwick and Mary Grosvenor (Rome: Biblical Institute Press, 1981).
Occasionally, the Analysis may include, in brackets, an entry headed 'BG': all such entries will consist of quotations from Biblical Greek: Illustrated by Examples, by Maximilian Zerwick S.J., English edition adapted from the fourth Latin edition by...

I am writing this as a protestant. But I have a serious question: why are there protestants who are ideologically protestant like conservatives who don't know when war is not a good idea?
Here's what started this thread. I am listening to the "fighting for faith" radio show/podcast for 25 January of this year. About an hour into it, the host is reviewing another pastor's (Scott Hodge) sermon. Scott Hodge is endorsing "Lectio Divina" for evangelicals. He is cited an 11th century Monk,...

This does not refer to YECs who are quiet about it or aren't dogmatic about it. I'm referring to YECs who teach that all else is heresy and then present a bunch of young earth proofs.
I know a guy in his mid 20s who went to a local Christian school which teaches from A Beka book. All people familiar with Pensacola Christian know what to expect. It's packed with typical young-earth proofs, fallacies, etc. Well, he graduated and went to college. He majored in physics and now holds post-graduate...

An article in the latest (FEB 2010) Scientific American suggested this thread to me.
First, a quick background for those of you that don't know the history behind this ...
A number of years ago I expressed my position regarding the natural formation of stars.
Since then my position has been ridiculed countless times primarily via distortions and
misrepresentations of what I actually stated and believe.
In a condensed nutshell, my position is summarized in the following five statements...

Now everyone who has studied their Bibles, knows that the idea of The Devil and Jesus playing chess for our souls is silly. (Remember Chris De Burgh's song) Also we are pretty sure that though the Devil has POWER, it is not EQUAL to that of God's POWER, but the Devil is certainly not a push over, and has a well structured army. For it is St Paul in the book of Ephesians who instructs about ARMOUR, and weapons to war. But does the DEVIL have enough POWER to keep an unbeliever blinded ? Is...

The US Tax Court ruled yesterday that a Massachusetts woman should be allowed to deduct the costs of her sex-change operation, a decision that could have wide implications for transgender people.
Rhiannon O’Donnabhain, who was born a man, sued the Internal Revenue Service after the agency rejected a $5,000 deduction for approximately $25,000 in medical expenses associated with the...

The Year of Your Lord Two Thousand and Ten
Words of Jesus for you…
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as...
