Being The Body: February 2011
http://being-the-body.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. Ok so a few things. 1 Yes I have the book so quit asking (photo provided). 2 No the book is NOT for sale. 3 Saying mean things about my family or myself will not get your comments posted nor will it stop this book from getting published (and adding "I mean this in Love" does not make your post Christ like). The book is biblically based and includes EVERY reference to Hell in the bible. So please stop trying to post anonymous. However you answer these questions, there is a good ...

Being The Body: March 2011
http://being-the-body.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 16, 2011. The word theos is Greek for “God,” and -ology which is from the Greek word logos meaning study of or “word.” Most literally then the word theology means "study of God" or “words about God” (not to be confused with the words from God). It is the articulation of an individual's or a community’s beliefs about God. Links to this post. Friday, March 11, 2011. 8220;(the beatitudes) give us not only a way to see God, but a way to see our world, and they give us something concrete to d...

Being The Body: August 2012
http://being-the-body.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Are you without blemish? Summary Statement: of Ephesians 1:3-5. God finds pleasure in adopting us into His family. He does not see all the ways we fall short or fail to live up to the standards we absorb from the world around us. God sees us as holy and perfect without defect. Vast territories in a shorter time than anyone else in recorded history. One of the reasons he was so successful because imported Greek values to all the areas he concurred. People would quickly begin to s...

Being The Body: August 2013
http://being-the-body.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 29, 2013. Why how we view the atonement matters. Why should it matter how we view the atonement? Do we make the bible overly complicated? Could it could be stated something like this; "as humans we read the bible and attempt to come up with complex theologies and doctrines for what are really very simple truths.". The problem is our natural, and very human, curiosity makes us ask why. Why did God have to die to forgive our sins? Because this kind of sacrifice seems to defy logic lots of ...

Being The Body: Civil Law & The Church
http://being-the-body.blogspot.com/2013/04/first-let-me-be-clear-on-what-these.html
Monday, April 01, 2013. Civil Law and The Church. First let me be clear on what these posts are and what they are not. I hate being defined by theological litmus tests because I think they miss the mark in so many ways. That does not mean we can’t or shouldn't engage in theological discussions on matters that we feel strongly about. It is just that we should be a little more humble and gracious in how we describe people who differ from our understanding of God and his grace. Some of whom who know me, bec...

Being The Body: July 2011
http://being-the-body.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 30, 2011. Paul taught his disciples to shut up about the moral decay in their culture. Paul is an excellent example of how Christians should carry on in the face of cultural resistance. He knew that to engage in hierosylos and blasphēmeō. Damages one’s witness. Because we have failed to listen to Paul, the world today knows more about what the church is against than what it is for. How then should we conduct ourselves in a culture of moral decline and idol worship? Links to this post.

Monday, December 30, 2013. How not to construct a structure. Once, three people were selected for a competition that challenged them to construct the best possible aviary using a limited set of materials and resources. The three people selected for the competition were a mathematician, an engineer and an old farmer. 8220;I don’t know much about what a ‘proper aviary’ is,” replied the farmer, “but please come and rest your bones here with me for a spell. Perhaps you will ...The judges sat on the bench and...
