I launched my new Django Bible memorization site, LearnScripture.net
I have had many debates with Muslim friends about the matter of forgiveness,
which is quite different in the Qur'an and in the Bible. In this article I want
to share some thoughts on the forgiveness of God and the honour of God...

A defence of the Christian position on homosexuality, written for the benefit of atheists who really need to stop saying silly things like "God Hates Shrimp".
The consistent teaching of the Bible with regards to judgement day is that we will be judged and receive our eternal reward on the basis of what we have done...This does not mean that salvation is by works...
There is a lot of debate over the translation and meaning of 1 Corinthians
7:36-38 — this is the result of my studies on this, mainly for my own future use.

Do Christians meet together to worship God in the NT, or only to
encourage each other?

I created a system and web app to help me organise my Bible memorisation. And I rant a bit Django and web.py.
A popular, though inaccurate, interpretation of Godwin's law is that one should refrain from comparing your opponent to Nazis, because this action is so insulting that meaningful debate will be killed off.

A simple creationist response to the supposed evidence for common ancestry from fusion in human chromosome 2.

Goodbye blogosphere! I'm off to read a good book :-)
I do not doubt that blogging can and does satisfy several (good) desires and needs that humans have, including the need to communicate and interact with others and the desire to learn new things. My problem is this: does blogging do these things as well as other means?
One of the problems with all internet journalism is how easy it is to get involved...
...As I see it, the sad truth is that the Christian sector of the blogosphere has a fairly mixed witness to the rest of the world...
I've become more and more skeptical about the usefulness of blogging and the blogosphere, especially from a Christian perspective. This will be the first in a series of posts that will criticise blogging :-) ...
"Make me hear joy and gladness, That the bones You have broken may rejoice ...
Supposing a friend of yours is going on holiday, and he comes to you the day before he leaves and asks you to look after his mobile phone (for some reason he couldn't take it with him). You'd conclude...
"Christ died sufficiently for all, efficiently (or efficaciously) for some". I'm afraid I fail to get any real meaning out of this, no matter how hard I try, except if I use an idea of sufficiency which is many miles from the what I believe about Christ's death.

Being predictable is often seen as a negative thing. Yet predictability is tied up with what it is to be truly known by someone, and this extends even to God...
'My King' or 'The Seven Way King' is a famous 'psalm' (that's the
best word I can find to describe it) about Jesus Christ, by Dr S.M.
