I've been gone even longer than Phil; wh...Wow! I've been gone even longer than Phil; where have the years gone! 6/27/2019 now. While I share his aversion to the "emergent" derangement (the old “has God said” lie/corruption laughably pretending to be new) I'm far more incredulous at how mainstream the vile "homosex-" lie and fraud has become to the point even among "emergent" opponents, to where I generally won't use a post-19th century Bible translation (I use the original and mostly the 1901 ASV (so old it was mostly done in the 19th century), but also, being multilingual, checking against many others from the Vulgate to Luther) in view of how badly they pervert "malakoi" and "arsenokoitai" (1Cor6:9 & 1Tim1:10) also sadly knowing of NO professing "evangelical" not brainwashed by the "homosex-/gay" lie vs the "effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men" (1901 ASV) truth of the old, venerable, genuine translators divinely obsessed with being faithful to the original <br />vs today's regrettable “committees” rather obsessed with how today's sad illiterates "feel" about the receptor language, sadly blinded by and enslaved to the world's, flesh's and devil's bogus “homosex-” lie. What and where have we come to if even “scholars” (sadly blindly oblivious to the argumentum ad baculum logical fallacy of the bogus appeal to authority that has been sadly so effective in silencing Granville Sharp's marvelous championing of Christ's divinity so obscurred by deceitful “scholars” like Weiner for so long) are so lost as to be happy with misrepresenting the original so long as they “feel good” about the bogus receptor language's version.<br />See "The gay invention" (a moral as well as a linguistic error) at touchstonemag.com for a capable exposing of the vile "gay/homosex-" propaganda lie and fraud that has deceived far more far more thoroughly than the "emergent" lunacy has, because far more subtly. <br />In my "charismatic reformed" longing and zeal for God-centrality so unusual in today's blind, egotistical, ungodly “love yourself” myopia I've even contemplated how in the fear of God one might justly consider the way ALL the sacraments/ordinances should be subsumed under the one of "holy matrimony," type of the heavenly antitype for God's sake, baptism and the Eucharist being merely glorious but humble manifestations thereof. I say this as one having no human spouse, only Christ the heavenly Bridegroom. Having just passed the big 65, its sad how many have tried to convince me He's not enough. Some <br />“Grace alone <br />through faith alone <br />in the Spirit of Christ the Word incarnate (1Peter 1:11*) alone <br />through the Bible the Word written alone (coextensive with the previous)<br />to the glory of God alone” <br />gospel they say they offer! <br />*=searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto ...<br />Aεραυνωντες TSBερευνωντες εις τινα η ποιον καιρον εδηλου το εν αυτοις πνευμα χριστου προμαρτυρομενον … <br />Soli Deo gloria!russedavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670180429306867443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-39269356187749948042018-06-07T07:27:31.266-07:002018-06-07T07:27:31.266-07:00(Welcome back!)(Welcome back!)The Blue Raja (Sharad Yadav)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11071552480149289801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-64633934165458362162018-06-07T07:26:46.445-07:002018-06-07T07:26:46.445-07:00Hopefully the yelling here provides a brief respit...Hopefully the yelling here provides a brief respite for the kids on your lawn.

A number of times recently I came close to deleting the Pyro bookmark, but did not actually go through with it. Even at that I just became aware that you are back to blogging by way of a comment on Blog & Mablog (which had finally replaced Pyromaniacs as my first stop during daily lunch breaks).

I still fondly remember our coffees at Waterloo and the day you kindly arranged for me to have a tour round all the Spurgeon memorabilia at the tabernacle. Thanks for not telling them I was a charismatic or else I doubt I’d have been let in!<br /><br />I do sometimes wonder whether the internet with comments trails is the best forum for genuine interaction and irenic discourse. And for sure the more controversial a piece the more interaction sadly.<br /><br />I’ve been thinking a lot about a quote on truth and love by Stott which Challies dug out and I shared the context of. <br /><br />I feel that over the years perhaps I have also been guilty at times of allowing my truth to be too hard. Maybe it’s not my natural tendency to allow my love to become too soft. But anyway I offer the Stott quote and would be interested in your reflections on it. <br /><br />http://www.patheos.com/blogs/adrianwarnock/2018/05/stott-on-watchbloggers-liberals/Adrian Warnockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153686724298326405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-72863542134573184442018-05-26T20:39:20.268-07:002018-05-26T20:39:20.268-07:00Been a near constant lurker since 2006.

There is no permanency to it. On Facebook it quickly passes away, and is often difficult to find links to things posted. It's information that fades away in a matter of days, and their search feature is of little use.<br /><br />Not so with blogs. Christians should return to posting information and insight on blogs, like it was around the peak of blogging in 2006-08. It has lasting value, unlike things posted on Facebook. And one can easily scan for good comments, such as Eric Fehrman's topical suggestions above.<br /><br />TonyTony Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02102293843397809802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-24027542281487175142018-05-25T13:31:36.812-07:002018-05-25T13:31:36.812-07:00Time for more Phil's-osophy?
