The Petra Zone

So why do I sin? I don't want to get away with it. I don't want to displease God. Yet I do so every day, as did Paul. Paul and I are not just worse than everyone else, our experience is the normative one. Our flesh lives and we exhibit it's effects our whole lives, even as our nature is being change...

No. A genetic predisposition is a predilection that in the advent of other factors will manifest. Dementias and autoimmunity are thought to be things that there may be a genetic predisposition for. However it needs an environmental (or other) trigger to manifest. This means there is no "autoimmunity...

But...do you know the difference between genetic and genetic predisposition Brent? Science is simply the study of the physical. People have agendas. Science does not. It is clear that people don't choose this life-there are many gays who wish they were straight just because life would be so much eas...

Do you know the difference between genetic and genetic predisposition Brent? Studies have shown that a concert of biological and environmental factors may affect sexual orientation in men (lesbians are often a different story). For instance estrogen levels in utero appear to have a link to later sex...

I was thinking it tipped the scales at sacrilegious myself. I mean God as an uncouth fat guy with what appears to be a drunk's nose? I think I must be more sensitive to this kind of irreverence than I used to be. Certainly such things are to be expected, but that doesn't mean I can't loathe it for w...

That picture is horrifying.

I appreciate that it is strictly typological. Until recently I did not know that EO's were partial iconoclasts like myself (they of course would never ever use that term).

What a bizzare discussion. Too bad I missed it. I didn't see anyone mention the giving over by God.

That would of course force us to admit that idolatry is the real problem I suppose.

My brother named his sons Dean and Jesse, whom we called James Dean and Jesse James. We told him he MUST name a third James if one ever came along. He did. So he now has Jesse, James and Dean.

Then he was going to name the kid after his wife's brother: James Earl Moore.
hahahah.

Moltmann lives.

Some of my favorite arcane words are theological ones. propitiation preterition privation those are just the p's Then there are words that John Owen used alacrity abstruse (and totally describing other people's words!!) prolepsis traduce As I've mentioned he really liked metonymy. Oh and latin words...

Benny Hinn is also from Canada. Thank God for free trade!! We can load off our heretics and terrible music for...whatever we get from you.

Uh you guys kind of got the crap end of that eh. Ah well.

walk quickly away from the pietists children. No NO don't look directly at them. Depends on what you mean by radical Jonathan. If by the phrase you mean someone who trusts in the gospel work of Christ rather than his own merit and changes diapers to the glory of God, sure. The cross is after all a s...

When did Christianity become about being social revolutionaries? And why didn't anyone tell me? Here I was thinking it was about Christ and Him crucified for the forgiveness of sins.


Man. I'm always behind.

Is Antiphonal singing considered classical?

Yes. They have one song. And Chad Kroeger sings like he badly needs a good dose of exlax in every version of it.

Canada also has me. This is why we have climactic extremes.

Anyway, back to the christian knock-offs.
