Jesus' third temptation
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their grandeur. And he said to him, “I will give you all these things if you throw yourself to the ground and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘You are to wors...

Re: Eschatological Essay
Brad -
On your website, you have a link to an mp3 for
Steve Gregg Lecture :: A Christian's Relationship to the Goverment
I'm highly interested in hearing this teaching by Steve if it exists. However, the link is broken.
Can you fix or point to where this mp3 might be?

Re: Is the Principle of Non-aggression Biblical?
The principle of loving your neighbor as you love yourself is, in my opinion, absolute. Whether we understand its proper application to a given situation is another matter. Application of principles is the task of ethical thinkers, which includes us all. Thanks for clarification. My earlier stateme...

Re: Is the Principle of Non-aggression Biblical?
I'm not sure the teachings of Jesus would be perfectly aligned with NAP in that if the "property owner" was unaware or not available to give consent, I believe Jesus would have you to care for that man's property and attempt to benefit the man, whereas NAP, as I understand it, would require a "hand...

Re: Is the Principle of Non-aggression Biblical?
It seems that this principle would not be absolute. I can think of exceptions, when one would be justified (or obligated) to act contrary to the will of another person in controlling his or her person or property, most notably: Very few principles are absolute, especially when they concern ethicall...

Is the Principle of Non-aggression Biblical?
Principle of non-aggression: " ...a moral stance which asserts that aggression is inherently illegitimate. NAP and property rights are closely linked, since what aggression is depends on what a person's rights are.[1] Aggression, for the purposes of NAP, is defined as the initiation or threatening o...

Re: Guns, self-defense and Christians
Sean - Great post! You have thrown a few wrenches into the works. Here's my attempt to wrestle with them: So lets assume an attacker has your wife and is going to kill your wife. Do you kill the attacker to protect your wife? Is that the love Jesus spoke about? I'm not so sure. In bringing up the "l...

Re: Gehenna - Literal or Figurative?
...and we should take Jesus at his word... unless you forgive your brother from your heart, the heavenly Father won't forgive you either. He doesn't say... but maybe later, the Father will change his mind. If you're not qualified to be at the party, you get kicked out. Matthew 6:14-15 "For if you f...

Re: Rejoicing Over Osama's Demise
The facts of his guilt? Have you seen his videos threatening mass violence over and over again? You do know the manifesto of the group he leads i presume. Making videos threatening violence against others or leading a group with a stated purpose of violence against others are not direct evidence th...
