Rantings of a Pastor/Gamer/Historian/Geek
So, that’s what I would look like if I were a Giant M&M. Suprisingly, that looks a lot like me. Especially when I wear glasses and not contacts. Why’d I waste the time it took to customize an M&M look a like? Because I could. Becomeanmm.com is part of a promotion by M&M which […]
Ok, so I have to put a disclaimer on this blog. If you are easily offended, please do not read this blog. I warned you, so please don’t get angry with me and want to burn me as a heretic if you don’t like what you read. Thanks. P.S. there really isn’t a show entitled: […]
Hello everybody out there in internet land. I just installed Office 2007 and decided to try and publish this post from Word. Let’s see if it works!
Update ( <1 minute later): Wow, not only does it work for posting, but I can also edit old posts and manage my entire blog from Word ‘07. I […]
Well, this is probably going to be the last post in the series about good ole’ Q. If you look in the category of history stuff, you’ll see the previous posts about the origins of the gospels. We’ve talked a little bit about the textual history and evidence for each of them, and now we […]
In my previous post I talked about the origin of the three synoptic gospels. We noted that most scholars agree that Mark was written first, followed by Luke and Matthew (not necessarily in that order). The last gospel to be written was probably that of John. The marked differences between the synoptic gospels and the […]
Well, my wife and I just got back from a church meeting. Before the meeting we decided to go by our local Quiznos Sub for some dinner. For those of you that don’t know, Quiznos is a sub place that is just above McDonalds on the food chain. They have toasted subs and are usually […]
I hadn’t planned on coming back to the idea of Canon so quickly, but reader turned commenter Jared White posted a good question about the formation of the Gospels. First off, let’s review his question. He asked about the so-called “proto-Gospel”, which some scholars theorize was a prelude to the three synoptic Gospels of Matthew, […]
Is it weird that almost every situation reminds me of a song? It doesn’t matter what the particular situation is, everything reminds me of a song. The song that’s going through my head right now? Kenny Rogers The Gambler. No I’m not going through a Texas Hold ‘Em phase, although I like poker, I’m talking […]
In my previous post, I ranted for a little while then listed some frequently mistaken ideas about the canon. In this post, I’m going to talk about the first thing on that list: The decision of what went into the Bible was a process, not one made at any one “councilâ€?. The idea put forth […]
Ok, so I just got through watching a National Geographic Special about the “secret life” of Jesus while I re-installed windows, and I’m not very happy. I probably shouldn’t ever, ever watch anything like that, but I just didn’t turn the channel. I don’t have a problem with the fact that they bring up different […]
