Re: Who are you planning to vote for?
My vote is 'wasted' (in that sense) anyways b/c I live in NY and Obama is guaranteed to win those electoral votes. To me, I find it remarkable that so many people consider it a 'waste' to vote for the candidate you most agree with simply b/c they won't win! In my opinion, Christians in states like m...

Re: When is a view fully preteristic?
When I think of 'full preterism' I think of the idea that the resurrection has occurred spiritually, that Jesus isn't coming back bodily, that there will not be an ultimate and general Day of Judgment, and that there will not be a new heavens and a new earth. I consider this view to be, at best, on ...

Re: The Origin of Original Sin
I thought I would share from a book by Randy Maddox regarding the theology of John Wesley... "The dominant streams of Western Christianity eventually affirmed two major effects of the Fall upon subsequent humanity: 1)We inherit the guilt of the Original Sin; and 2) as one sign of God's judgment, our...

Re: Palin's eschatology
I highly doubt she has any 'eschatological perspective.' Like most Christians, she probably accepts the views of her church on such issues without thinking/caring too much about the particulars. As for her comments about the war being a mission of God, it was a really off the cuff remark on video. I...

Re: Is Allah a different God?
I wouldn't attempt to force a muslim convert to stop using the word 'Allah' for God. But the discipleship process should definitely include a radical re-definition of God's character. To me, it's not really a question of whether muslim's are worshipping God or an idol. It's a question of how to rig...

Re: What happens in your Bible studies?
While I suppose there is a shred of truth to it, I think the quote is far too cynical when compared to my experience. a group of people who know nothing whatever about a subject spend a hour or so pooling their ignorant and uninformed opinions This hasn't been my experience at all. A lot of Christia...

Loving the Podcast
I just wanted to say thanks again to all who are involved in putting The Narrow Path on the internet. As some of you know, I recently started a Master's Program at Houghton College. This is a pair of 1 hour and 40 minute drive, for me, each Monday. I'm so thankful to be able to download the entire w...

Re: Reimagining Church by Frank Viola
I'm sure I'll eventually be reading Viola's new book (his ministry sends me emails all the time telling me to do so, since I bought like 10 copies of Pagan Christianity). But I won't have time anytime soon (I just started 2 master's courses, one on wesleyan theology and one on faith & culture, both ...
