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.
