The Tomb of Christ
March 22, 2007 | 3 Comments
The Tomb of Christ — Empty: A Discovery Channel movie claims that the limestone boxes with the names of two Mary’s, Joseph, Jesus and the “Judah, son of Jesus” discovered in 1982 in Jerusalem actually contain the DNA of Jesus, his parents and his “wife” Mary and his child.

Calvinism and Arminianism
March 19, 2007 | 1 Comment
Calvinism and Arminianism, One-sided Theology By CH Mackintosh: We have lately received a long letter, furnishing a very striking proof of the bewildering effect of one-sided theology. Our correspondent is evidently under the influence of what is styled the high school of doctrine. Hence, he cannot see the rightness of calling upon the unconverted to “come,” to “hear,” to “repent,” or to “believe.” It seems to him like telling a crab-tree to bear some apples in order that it may become an apple-tree.

Solus Christus
March 11, 2007 | 1 Comment
Solus Christus By P. Andrew Sandlin
Two theological slogans became the watchwords of the Protestant Reformation: Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone) and Sola Fide (faith alone). The Protestant Reformers wanted to cut through the non-Biblical traditions that had become such a part of the Western church’s faith and practice that they were set on a par with clearly Biblical teachings. These non-Biblical views and practices included popery, penance, and purgatory. The Council of Trent later solidified Rome’s conviction that unwritten traditions are no less authoritative than the Bible itself. This, of course, the Reformers (rightly) could never abide.1

A Man Hanging from his Thumb
February 27, 2007 | 2 Comments
How Christians Were Tortured: The sun shines on Klundert, green lowland plains lying flat as far as
eye can see. Tourists visit Klundert. They take pictures: fields of flowers and vegetables. Thunderheads rise, making rows of poplars alongside the canals of Noord Brabant look small. Long canals, they cut straight through the shimmering plains until they lose themselves in the haze where land and sky meet sea. “We like the peace of Noord Brabant,” say the tourists, “It does the heart good.”
But there is much the tourists do not know.
Klundert, tidy Dutch village in Noord Brabant, stands on blood. The blood of Anabaptists was shed here.
Anabaptists gathered at Klundert throughout the mid-sixteenth century. They came, sneaking out of nearby cities, to meet in secret on the fields. Sometimes they gathered in the homes of Elsken Deeken or Jan Peetersz, a servant of the Word. On August 5, 1571, about a hundred Anabaptists met at the Peetersz home in Klundert. Some came from Haarlem, some from Leyden, and many from towns not far away. During the meeting a young couple was going to get married, but they did not get that far.
Picture: Torture of Gelijn Cornelis for his faith in the Bible and Christ, while his interrogators take a break. Breda, 1572
The town magistrate and his assistant were sitting at Gerrit Vorster’s house, drinking. Someone told him about the Anabaptist gathering. He said: “We will root up that nest and get rid of them at once!” Twice he sent one of his men to listen at the Peetersz house. “Straight Peter” a tailor lived in the front part of the house. Jan Peetersz lived in the back where the people met. After nine o’clock the spies found the meeting in session. They heard someone preaching and saw the light of many candles in the room. Then the magistrate and his men, well armed with guns, halberds, swords, and other weapons broke in through all doors at once. They grabbed left and right. But most of the Anabaptists, ready for such an emergency, escaped up the stairs, through a hole in the roof, or back through a hall and out of openings in the wall.

Community By Rev. R.J. Rushdoony
In 1963, in his lectures at Yale Law School on “The Morality of Law,” L. L. Fuller spoke of Karl Marx’s great dislike for interdependence. Marx’s hatred for interdependence led him to reject capitalism for a social order in which all men would supposedly have the equal capacity to do everything and could thus have no need for one another. Fuller described Marx’s position as one of “fundamental aversion to interdependence.”

Bruce Metzger Passes Away
February 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Bruce Metzger, Scholar and Bible Translator, Dies at 93: Bruce M. Metzger, an eminent scholar and translator of the Bible who oversaw the publication of a widely used modern edition that eliminated all the thees and thous and many of the hes, died on Tuesday in Princeton, N.J. He was 93 and a longtime Princeton resident.
At his death, Dr. Metzger was emeritus professor of New Testament language and literature at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he had taught for more than 40 years.
An ordained Presbyterian minister, Dr. Metzger was a world-renowned authority on translating the New Testament from the original Greek. He was best known to the general public for supervising the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible, which uses contemporary English and does away with much of the exclusively masculine language of previous translations. Introduced in 1990, the New Revised Standard Version is used in several formats by many Protestants, Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians.

Does Nature Violate Its Laws
February 21, 2007 | 6 Comments
Does Nature Violate Its Laws By Dr. Johnson C. Philip
Books dealing with the Theory Of Evolution frequently state that “life” is a product of chance. They
mean to say that life evolved on earth by the accidental combination of atoms in a “primordial soup”, (a collection of certain elements, in a liquid medium). But the story in its entirety is not a simple as they would seem you to believe.
The simple-looking statement that life has evolved by chance processes has many assumptions behind it, and each one of these assumptions must scientifically be true before the above statement can be accepted for consideration.
