The posting of links does not constitute an endorsement of the sites linked, and not necessarily even agreement with the specific posts linked.

• What is Impassibility? -- “It reflects classical Christian theism, and its import is well-known by theologians and has been fixed for centuries...yet over the past 150 years this teaching has been criticized, modified and rejected, so that today it is an unpopular doctrine among evangelical theologians.”
• True Origins of the Un-Seminary -- “A look at humor in cemetery, um, I mean seminary, advertising.”
• The Goose and the Swan -- “...perhaps it is the roasted goose that gave the world the singing swan. After all, when you see the cries of the oppressed, the prayers of the faithful, and the movement of God on their behalf, you don’t have to be a prophet to know that God will finish his work.”
• The Blue Trinitarian Bible Society Greek New Testament or Scrivener’s Greek New Testament -- “A biblical methodology that proceeds from a biblical bibliology must fit what the Bible says about itself. Because of this, it believes that the agreement of the church is evidence. This is the unity of the spirit.”
• Mark 7:4 and the Baptism of Tables–Video -- “People have also attacked the King James Version for rendering the Greek word baptidzo as ‘baptize’ instead of as ‘immerse.’ Is that a valid criticism?”
• Mark 7:4 & the “washing [baptidzo] . . . of tables:” Baptism is still Immersion in the Baptizing of Tables or Dining Couches, part 2 -- “When a thing is proved by sufficient evidence, no objection from difficulties can be admitted as decisive, except they involve an impossibility.”
• Mark 7:4 & the “washing [baptidzo] . . . of tables:” Baptism is still Immersion in the Baptizing of Tables or Dining Couches, part 1 -- “Mark 7 is the best attempt by the opponents of the Baptist doctrine of believer’s immersion to get out of the necessity of the plain meaning of baptidzo as dipping or immersion.”
• Lucky Strike Girl Born in Cherokee County -- “Her father was C.D. Jarratt of Craft, known for shipping the first carload of tomatoes from Cherokee County on June 14, 1897.”
• Lord’s Supper: Why Use Only One Cup & Loaf? -- “The one cup and the one loaf not only symbolize unity but more importantly create unity.”
• John 1:18 - Some Patristic Evidence -- “This evidence shows that a simple numerical count of medieval manuscripts does not tell the whole story about this text-critical contest. At the same time, it also demonstrates that both readings are very ancient, and that both were used by orthodox writers and by heretics.”
• James White’s Bogus “Doctorate” Degree -- “...it is irrelevant who found out this information, if what they present is valid of its own accord. We mustn’t commit the “genetic fallacy.” [I agree with White that “A person’s scholarship is not determined by the name of the school he or she attended,” but then he runs around calling himself doctor to add weight to his positions, while often calling out others for not being trained in whatever subject is under discussion!]”
• Is “God forbid” a Mistranslation in the KJV (King James Version)? -- “The formula could be rendered as ‘far from it,’ but it really needs the force of the expression given in the King James Version as ‘God forbid.’”
• How to spot a scam -- “I want to give you the most general advice I can—a template that can be applied to almost any scam, over any media, on any time scale, whether it’s a new scam or something tried and tested.”

• 35 Victorian Era Cemetery Superstitions -- “Many of the cemetery superstitions and traditions from the 1800s seem strange to us today but a surprising number of our own actions when someone dies have their roots in these customs. ”
