The crucifixion of Jesus is an event that occurred during the first century A.D. in which Jesus was arrested, tried, and sentenced by Pontius Pilate to be scourged and finally executed on a cross. He would of carried his crossbar, or patibulum, to the execution site. The patibulum could easily weigh 100 pounds. Once there at the execution site, the crossbar was put on the ground and the victim was forced to lie upon it. Spikes about 7 inches long and 3/8 of an inch in diameter were driven into the wrists and feet areas. A small support placed for him to rest upon ... Read Full Story

(May 10, 1886 – December 10, 1968) In discussions concerning the doctrine of scripture modern evangelical theologians and scholars often dismiss the profound insight of Karl Barth . That is not to say Barth was always right. There is much to disagree about his theology, a great deal which needs to at least be given serious consideration when formulating ones own theological positions, and common ground that will help all as they walk toward the common goal of knowing God. Herein lies a brief exploration of why Karl Barth should be allowed a place in discussions about ‘doctrine of scripture.’ Karl Barth was schooled ... Read Full Story

Michael Servetus (1511 to 1553). His genius extends to many fields of human endeavor: jurisprudence, mathematics, meteorology, geography, astrology, philosophy, medicine, theology, and biblical criticism. And he was the first European to describe the function of pulmonary circulation. The biographer of John Calvin, E. Stähelin, wrote: "Servetus was in intellectual endowments undoubtedly the peer of the greatest men of his century, Calvin included." Friedrich Trechsel, nineteenth century church historian, wrote: "Servetus personified the antitrinitarian spirit, and worked it out into a comprehensive system, giving it its first speculative and systematic form. Previous Antitrinitarians had either been merely negative, or their teaching had gone off ... Read Full Story

Wright Versus Barth contact me at midknightmail1@aol.com What is most astounding to this writer is the decided ignorance about Karl Barth on the part of N.T. Wright. Barth was the most influential theologian of the past 500 years (going back to John Calvin) and is commonly accepted as one of five “most influential” theologians since the very beginnings of the Christian Church. Wright simply could not be unfamiliar with the Great Pastor, but he writes as if he is and in so doing, avoids the apparent need to deal with the comprehensiveness of the Pastor's opposing theology. He (Wright) began his “higher education” in ... Read Full Story

Intimate Theology "Do you believe this?" —John 11:26 Martha believed in the power available to Jesus Christ; she believed that if He had been there He could have healed her brother; she also believed that Jesus had a special intimacy with God, and that whatever He asked of God, God would do. But— she needed a closer personal intimacy with Jesus. Martha’s theology had its fulfillment in the future. But Jesus continued to attract and draw her in...

From “The Catholic-Episcopalian two-way street” I suspect Jesus would find the whole thing completely irrelevant, but since our “historical” Jesus was cast in our Malthusian past–hence the heavy bias on pro-procreation, we live with the outdated rule-set. I have not heard this before, and I do not understand it. Can anyone explain? Tweet This Post
