Shock and Awe(ful)

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Paula Fether
8

Theologically, it’s been a day that began and ended shockingly. The first was over modern-day Christians arguing in a blog that the Bible does indeed condone slavery. And on that basis, atrocities committed by professing believers can be excused as … Continue reading →

You Must Ask the Right Questions

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Paula Fether

I received a newsletter from Worldview Weekend and wanted to comment, but their site (hopefully unintentionally) discourages comments due to the form asking for your full address and age. Hence another blog post of mine is born. And the title … Continue reading →

Is This Enlightenment, or a Rube Goldberg Machine?

Posted on May 2, 2012 by Paula Fether
Reply

I’ve often written about the need for balance in Christianity— not the balance that is mistaken for compromise of the essentials of the faith, but the balance that pairs justice with mercy, holiness with love, and knowledge with spirit. I’ve … Continue reading →

Why the Body of Christ Won’t Heal

Posted on April 28, 2012 by Paula Fether

Once again I feel the need to speak out against a harmful and naive teaching popular in many churches today. I know I’ve written such things before and likely no one will see this, but at least writing it down … Continue reading →

Age of Deception

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Paula Fether
Reply

This 2-1/2 hour documentary is truly frightening and contains disturbing words and images. But it is a good collection of facts that overturn the massive, planned, evil deception being heavily promoted everywhere, even among Christians, even by well-respected and “grounded” … Continue reading →

End-Times Bible Prophecy Summary

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Paula Fether

This document is my personal summary of various Bible prophecies I believe are soon to be fulfilled. It covers both Testaments but not in extreme detail, since my goal was to get a sense of the “big picture”; my guiding … Continue reading →

A Warning about False Teachers

Posted on April 9, 2012 by Paula Fether

“You will know them by their fruit”, Jesus told us. And it’s rotten. On occasion I have emailed various Bible teachers over the years, to ask them to clarify something or challenge them with scripture. So far, every single one … Continue reading →

Anti-Science: An Analysis

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Paula Fether

There’s nothing like peer pressure and shame culture to stifle what is loosely called “free thinking”. As people have always done, they vigorously defend “the prevailing scientific view” as what “thinking” people accept rather than clinging to outdated or backward … Continue reading →

Without Excuse

Subversion

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Paula Fether
Reply

Have you ever noticed that evil never creates or initiates, but only reacts? Recently there was a report of atheists un-blessing a highway with “unholy water”; the Christians do something and the anti-Christians try to undo it. The name “atheism” … Continue reading →

Human Resources

Gullibility and Terrorism

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Paula Fether

Ties That Bind

There is something I think that needs to be emphasized and reinforced concerning something I wrote at the end of Deconstructing ‘Bondage of the Will’: “Satan binds, but God frees. So whose teachings was Luther spreading?” In my reading I’ve … Continue reading →

“The Bible must be the invention either of good men or angels, bad men or devils, or of God. However, it was not written by good men, because good men would not tell lies by saying ‘Thus saith the Lord’; it was not written by bad men because they would not write about doing good duty, while condemning sin, and themselves to hell; thus, it must be written by divine inspiration.” (Charles Wesley, McDowell, Evidence That Demands a Verdict , 1990:178).
