Cheap Ambien Cr I do not know if I will be able to post today. I have a couple of people in the hospital just out of intensive care or the emergency room, and one in hospice. On top of that, being a Wednesday in Lent, I both have a Bible Study and an evening Lenten service. So, […]
No trial for Yoo
I am a strong believer in human rights, particularly the right of free speech. This is why I am troubled by some of the media and Congressional response today to the release of some of the memos written for the Justice Department in 2003 by John Yoo. Those memos are those that supported the contentions […]
To Sabbatarian or not to Sabbatarian, actually there is no question
Why did Peter and John (and presumably every Apostolic-generation believer) still keep the Sabbath if our Lord meant for the first day of the week to become the new Sabbath? Did the Apostles get it wrong? . . . Sunday only became the new day of rest when the successive generations developed amnesia about the […]
Synagogue and developing tradition
Scott pointed out that the Early Church followed the synagogue model of worship and quickly developed a Temple/Synagogue pattern to their worship. This actually should not be in the least surprising, since Our Lord Jesus Christ is Jewish. When on earth, he worshiped as a Jewish believer, attending both Synagogue (beyt knesset) and Temple. Sacrifices […]
Of monkeys and watermelons
Buy Ambien Overnight Delivery This past week a mayor in California sent out the above picture in an email saying that there would be no Easter Egg hunt this year at the White House. Now, as you know, about two weeks ago, a mayor metropolitan newspaper published an editorial cartoon that showed an assassinated monkey as the author of […]
So, what happened to the Jewish liturgical year?
https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/x444tt2ufbv · by 14 Comments
https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/x2t0pqe But don’t you think they would wonder what happened to the order of their Religious Year? Where are the Feasts? Oh, sure, the Church has feasts. But they are not just new. They are not just improved. They are complete replacements. As though the church went from DOS to Mac in one generation (if you […]
On the “Greeking” of the Church
· by Leave a Comment
https://www.andrewlhicksjrfoundation.org/uncategorized/t0hh3dcn9b In our ongoing conversation, Scott writes (again, with permission to post): What troubles me about that unanimity is the almost complete rejection (a sort of pseudo-Marcionism) of Jesus’ Jewishness. I think I can accept that the influx of Gentiles post-70 AD would lead to a “Greekening” of the Church. And certainly historical events and the […]
Would a first-century believer recognize the Orthodox Church?
https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/d586zi99 · by 8 Comments
https://ballymenachamber.co.uk/?p=bo7a3oeg2e While Orthodox liturgy looks an awful lot like Jewish liturgy (Temple and Synagogue), some of Her theology and practices would appear completely foreign to a first century follower of the Messiah. So wrote Scott to me recently, and it is a legitimate comment and question. With his permission, I am reposting some of our conversation […]
Why do you make it so hard to become Orthodox? – part 03
· by Leave a Comment
https://www.mdifitness.com/qxhpqv7r OK, I understand much of what you have been saying, but why must I have a sponsor, or why is a baby expected to have godparents? Well, in the book of Hebrews, it says: For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of […]
Why do you make it so hard to become Orthodox? – part 02
So, why is a catechumen encouraged to take on a “new” name when they are chrismated? What’s in a name? Taking on a new name is not necessary, but it is highly encouraged. The background to a name change goes all the way back to the beginnings of God’s special interactions with Abraham and continued […]
