Biblical Christianity and Islam: Plural Monotheism versus Monolithic Monotheism (Part 4)

(Continued from last week…)
In the progressive revelation of Scripture, we are given a number of hints that the Creator’s nature is socially complex.
Several of those hints involve Divine personal manifestations who are addressed as “God” and yet they are distinguished from another person who is also called “God”. If we did not have the [...]

Miniature Dachshunds and Gene Pools

My daughter and son-in-law are on a mission trip to Northern Ireland. In their absence, we are caring for their dog: a Miniature Dachshund, or alonglittledoggie.
Since I normally run in the mornings, I decided that little Tashia would join me for my two-mile jaunts. The problem is that Tashia’s legs (I measured them) are [...]

Absent

I feel I owe an explanation for being absent lately.
We are in the midst of our summer semester at the Institute. We have 88 incredible students from all over the nation, including South Africa, Japan, Canada, and Australia. Someday I will describe what goes on at the Institute, but believe me it is amazing. [...]

Biblical Christianity and Islam: Plural Monotheism versus Monolithic Monotheism (Part 3)

(Continued from last Thursday…)
When we look at what God has made, we find it brimming with things that are in relationship; a cosmos filled with a plethora of systems: parts and pieces that are relating to each other for a greater purpose.
If the “heavens declare the glory of God”, then one would naturally assume that [...]

Reflecting on Father’s Day, 2007

Every year, I am thankful that I can still honor my dad. He is 94 and even though none of us have a guarantee of tomorrow, the odds are getting greater that this Father’s Day could be his last.
We picked him up at his place this morning and brought him over for a special dinner [...]

Response: Lintels, Purple Martins, etc.

1. To “Virginia” who caught my “lentils” instead of “lintels” error. Maybe others caught it too, but when I read your comment, I started laughing as well. I’m glad you are reading…thank you!
2. To “Kimbrell” who wrote asking me to comment on Bible classes taught in public schools. Thanks. I have put it on the [...]

Biblical Christianity and Islam: Plural Monotheism versus Monolithic Monotheism (Part 2)

(Continued from last Thursday…)
Rom 1:20 “…since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”
This is a remarkable verse. When God created the cosmos, it was stamped with His image. In fact, it was SO [...]

Last week: Phoenix and Salt Lake City

I just returned from two inspiring trips.
The first was to Phoenix. I look forward to this every year because it gives me the opportunity and privilege to address about a hundred Christian law students gathered together from all over the nation for the Blackstone Legal Fellowship. This is an intensive summer program designed to develop [...]

Response: God Deals Corporately and Individually

To “Joe” who wrote in response to my “When God Abandons a People” (sorry for excerpting you):
“I heard this message from John Macarthur it and it was extremely legalistic and moralistic…Moralism… judges others solely based on specific behaviors…much like the Pharisees judged others. It typically condemns rather than reaches out. It expects unbelievers to [...]

Biblical Christianity and Islam: Plural Monotheism versus Monolithic Monotheism

“Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.” Psalm 145:3
Much of our understanding of who God is did not arrive immediately with His first revelations to us. The whole of the Bible is a continual unfolding, a progression of revelations that opens the lens a little more or [...]
