No Longer a Christian
OK, everyone. I’m no longer Christian, and I’m tired of pretending and sorry for lying. I guess I am agnostic, perhaps Deistic in my thought patterns. I apologize for not telling everyone sooner, especially family, but there were very few people who knew this. Now I wish to make it public. I admire my Christian friends even if I do not share their religion. Best wishes to all, and to everyone a good night I guess.
Right This Way, Please
Oops! I forgot to add I moved (sideways) to byroniac.wordpress.com so go over there if you want.
Moving back to Google
WordPress is great, and I have no complaints. I just seem to be the up-and-leave type. So I’ve gone back to isaiah816.blogspot.com if you want to come visit. I can’t explain how, but it just seems to be more at home to me. Who knows? Maybe I will change my mind (again) and come back. I’m notorious for that.
Why I Am A Christian
This is a simple and excellent presentation and apologetic for the Christian faith, at a level which can be easily understood and appreciated. It is only 27 minutes long, uses no difficult theological terms, and is less than 5MB in size. I believe it presents the gospel clearly and accurately.
Sayings Not Found In Scripture
This “Sayings Not Found In Scripture” is an interesting read on an interesting website.
Disturbing My Calvinism
Yes, sometimes my Calvinism gets disturbed, even by Scripture itself. That is why articles such as this one, Luke 13:34 Disturbs My Calvinism, are so helpful. Also interesting is Can Catholics Be Saved? And, Doctrine at Reformation. For a quick eschatology overview of different millenial positions, don’t miss Millenial Views.
However, I do not agree with everything on the site. I specifically disagree with Grudem on Baptism: Meaning and Mode (opposing), and Infant Baptism (1), and Infant Baptism (2), but they are all excellent articles and should be read, even if you hold to the Credobaptist position as I do. I believe that the site is basically Presbyterian in theology, and that should be kept in mind when perusing the site: it has excellent theological information.
OK, that’s a LOT of links for one post, but this really is a good site! Bookmark it. Or even better, bookmark this blog instead. 😉
Some Christmas Thoughts By James White
Some Christmas Thoughts – Pros Apologian
I need to be careful and not post too many links to James White’s blog. Some people may find his blog more interesting and never come back. And it might already be too late! 🙂
Seriously though, James White always seems to have something interesting and helpful to say, and he is a true scholar. Now, for those who went to his blog and came back here, I did not link to his blog because it talks about Ergun Caner (though I confess I find that an interesting topic). But the primary reason for the link is for the Scriptural texts that he quotes which speak of the eternality of the Son of God, helping to balance the almost exclusive focus on the Incarnation. The Incarnation is a wonderful truth, but we place way too much emphasis on the infancy of Jesus Christ. It’s almost like we want Him to be weak and vulnerable in His appearance to us instead of Sovereign and Lord. Portraying Christ as Sovereign and Lord in glorious majesty and dominion over all, with Lordship and salvation belonging exclusively to Him and no other, offends the majority of human beings, but it is nothing short of the truth desperately needed to be proclaimed in these dark days. “Salvation is of the Lord” (Jonah 2:9 KJV).
