Comment on Biblical Inerrancy: a short review by hypocritical4u

Religious discourse requires subjectivity acknowledging itself as such, rather than as something more. I recommend the following post: http://deligentia.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/objective-vs-subjective-a-matter-of-biblical-hyperbole/

Comment on Worship… by A Free Spirit

A Free Spirit — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 21:08:53 +0000

I suspect there is too much attention on the nature of the object being worshipped, and consequently not enough on the worshipping itself. If I am right, worshipping can be intensified further. If you are interested, pls see my post at: http://deligentia.wordpress.com/2009/10/24/worship/

Comment on God Won’t Give You More Than You Can Handle by mrclm

mrclm — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 02:49:06 +0000

I think it is pretty straightforward in explanation and I still think my original post is correct. If God limited our challenges to what we would/could handle, then we wouldn’t need to rely upon Him. I have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory, and only through HIM can I do all things. Without HIM the challenge would exceed me, I am not enough by myself. I am frail, I fail, I am broken, but through Christ I am restored, and through Christ I am liberated from the too much of life, because I can indeed rely upon God’s good grace to see me through.

Comment on God Won’t Give You More Than You Can Handle by Davio

I think this scripture DOES mean that God will not give us more than we can handle. In our greatest challenges there is an overriding temptation – TO GIVE UP!! Because God will not give us more than we can handle, we know that do not have to give in to the temptation to give up, that we do not have to lose faith. We KNOW that we can handle whatever comes at us. We KNOW that in EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE we will be able to respond in faith. Whatever is not of faith is sin. As long as we respond with an exceptional faith in God, we have not sinned – we have not given in to temptation.

Comment on Willow Creek Ancient-Future Conference by mrclm

Have you ever been to Willow Creek Community Church? I’m guessing not. Do you know anyone who serves there as a volunteer or as a staff member? Again, I’d bet not. You can certainly nit pick portions of their methodology, but you can do that about any church that probably isn’t “your” church. Willow has been open and honest about their short comings, but they also deserve credit for having been part of the transformation of thousands upon thousands of people’s eternities. How’s your church doing on that, or more specifically, how are YOU doing on that? God will be the judge, Bill Hybels will have to answer for himself, but how about you? It’s easy to swing at windmills on a blog, but when the rubber hits the road that’s entirely different. I don’t agree with Bill Hybels on a number of things, but I will cheer for him and his church’s success to the glory of God. I don’t have time to waste being a hater.

Comment on Pastor Rick Warren Inauguration Prayer Transcript by takeheed

takeheed — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 09:54:47 +0000

It’s important to note that in the official text of Mr Warren’s prayer on his church website only the first part of the Jewish SHEMA is in quotation marks – “Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God”. The next phrase is printed as follows – The Lord is One, and You are the compassionate and Merciful One and You are loving to everyone You have made. This virtually Jesuitical phrasing was designed to infer that the Jewish ‘Lord and God’ is also the same ‘Lord and God’ of Islam and Christianity – NOT TRUE!
My full assessment of this prayer can be viewed on
