Naming His Grace: Moving the sheep to barren pastures: John Shuck's "new" bible
http://naminghisgrace.blogspot.com/2015/07/moving-sheep-to-barren-pastures-john.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. Moving the sheep to barren pastures: John Shuck's "new" bible. While recovering from my heart surgery I found a relatively easy and fun read, Lord of the World. Shuck, a Presbyterian teaching elder, is promoting the need for a new “bible.” One that will better fit with contemporary humanity. He, like the anti-Christ in the book, sees all religious narratives as part of the evolutionary unfolding of creation. As Shuck puts it:. And to suggest that the person of Jesus as well as Old ...

Naming His Grace: June 2015
http://naminghisgrace.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 25, 2015. Is the church of Christ queer? Is the church universal queer? Oh the denomination, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), in its apostasy, might be. But that erases its claim to be the body of Christ. It erases Layton E. Williams’ claim that it is the body of Christ. Williams, a teaching elder, has written a posting for Presbyterians Today. At their site “ Reimagining the Church. 8220;We are part of a creative team commissioned by Presbyterians Today. 8221; I’m overwhelmed by ho...

http://naminghisgrace.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 27, 2015. A late Holocaust Day video:. Links to this post. Thursday, January 8, 2015. A good spark: our feelings about the defrocking of a godly pastor and renewal leader.

Rightmyer, has been defrocked by Grace Presbytery. There were eleven charges. This is undoubtedly a good spark, this defrocking of a godly preacher and our ...

Friday, July 10, 2015. Schism, heresy and control. So what is schism? How does it fit with heresy?

The Sacramento Presbytery held a special meeting to vote on a motion to place an administrative commission over the Burney church. This is the motion:. The Administrative Commission shall:.
