The Faith Once Delivered

This morning, Margaret, Pippa, and I catch a ride from Josiah and head out to O’Hare Airport where (contrary to what one might expect) we will not get a plane flight, but rather will rent a car to drive to Ypsilanti. The plane flight comes later; for today, we have to say a sad and [...]  

Does this sentiment cause you problems, or is it something that resonates with you, because it is grounded in scripture? I am talking about a "theory of the atonement," and how it is often conceived --- as forensic, or more commonly known as penal. T. F. Torrance describes his position on the atonement that may sound at odds with the penal notion (which then may sound at odds with scripture, if you've read it that way). Torrance says:But let...  

In a Dec. 5 speech to Brazilian bishops that went almost unnoticed, Benedict XVI delivered some very sharp and deeply critical remarks about liberation theology and its "deceitful" effects upon the Catholic Church. "While many Catholic clergy were preaching class-war, many of those on whose behalf the war was presumably being waged decided that they weren’t so interested in Marx or listening to a language of hate," Samuel Gregg writes. "They...  

December: when people who aren't Christopher Hitchens consider God, and the Miracles of the Universe He/She/It/RuPaul bestow upon us. But there's one question every year that humanity has yet to find a sufficient answer for. Christians think about Big Baby Jesus. Jews think about their magical eight-night Pennzoil.

Here is a really good summary on what Incarnation is all about. Incarnation is inextricably tied to atonement. So that while we are celebrating Christ's birth at this season, we also celebrate Easter in seminal form.

Matthew 15:11 Jesus is speaking.. "It is not what goes into your mouth that makes you ritually unclean, rather, what comes out of it makes you unclean." [In other words, it's not what you eat, but how you speak that makes you ritually unclean] ...  

Pomeroy's Democrat, October 21, 1871. Remember when Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell spun 9/11 as Jehovah's payback for all the sinful American gayness, abortions, secularism, and whatnot? Well they sure didn't invent that line of thinking. (It's actually built right into the Bible: see Isaiah 10:5-34). [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]
