…other hand, if our sinful nature only influences, but does not cause us to sin, wouldn’t that mean that it is theoretically possible, however improbable, to choose to live a completely sinless life (because of the free will that we have)? How come every single human being that has ever…
If every effect has a cause, how can there be free choice?

…if it is, and going on about our lives forgetting God, living a rather community-less, tradition-less, Godless Christianity, in a relationship with a book, that supposedly has “all the right answers” to life’s complexities.

…on certain points. While many who are committed to the “blueprint worldview” will find my thoughts disturbing, I’ve been blessed to receive thousands of e-mails from people who tell me this book set them free to see, for the first time, God as altogether beautiful — despite the massive evil…

Could Old Testament Warriors Have Been Mistaken?
Category: General
…the Kingdom. (His book Christian Anarchy is a classic!). In his book War and Peace: From Genesis to Revelation (Wipf and Stock, 2003) Eller makes as good a case as I’ve ever seen defending the view that Yahweh did not command the violence of the Holy War tradition. I can’t…
