Science and Religion: Are they always opposing?
We all know that science and religion can often be at odds with each other. Some examples include Evolution vs creation, DNA and the Book of Mormon; the list could be endless. In a recent comment, Book1830 makes the claim that Science and Religion (he refers to them as Scholarship and Apologetics) are at odds […]
How Should We Define Scripture?
I posted previously on the topics of Gnosticism, Marcionism, and Montanism in my previous three posts. While discussing Marcionism, there was a debate about the apostasy. The topic got sidetracked into a discussion of the definition of scripture, so I thought I’d post a new topic regarding that topic. Falcon makes the case that Joseph […]
Montanists, Mormons, and Early Christian Doctrines
This is part 3 of Heresy and Orthodoxy. I’ve been listening to class 5 from the Covenant Theological Seminary on Ancient and Medieval Church History. They have talked about Gnosticism and Marcionism. I’d like to talk about a little known movement in early church history called Montanism and compare this to Mormonism.
How does Marcionism relate to the Apostasy?
As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been listening to the Covenant Theological Seminary class called “Ancient and Medieval Church History.” Class 5 deals with Heresy and Orthodoxy, and they discuss 3 of the largest early heresies: Gnosticism, Marcionsim, and Montanism. I’d like to discuss Marcionism a bit. Marcion lived 110 – 160 AD […]
Early Christian Heresies: Gnosticism
I found a really cool website that offers free downloads from a seminary. It’s found at Covenant Theological Seminary. I believe it is a Presbyterian Seminary, and I’ve learned a ton about the Bible, and Jewish and Christian History. Currently, I’m listening to the course called Ancient and Medieval Church History. Class 5 deals with […]
Interesting Day at Church
I want to give a shout-out to my friend April. She has a blog called Normal Mormons. April is a relatively recent convert living in Idaho, and I have enjoyed hearing her observations about mormons, our sometimes strange culturalisms, and her efforts to become more Christ-like. I comment on her blog occasionally, and have often […]
Shaken Faith Syndrome
Ok, this is an email I received, and I thought it sounded quite interesting. Zelph, I couldn’t help but think of you when I read this. I think it sounds interesting to read myself, and I think others may find it interesting. —————————— The Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research (FAIR) would like to announce […]
NY Geography – Part 5
Ok, I’m ready to lay this to rest. It doesn’t seem to generate much interest, so here is my final post about my review of http://www.bookofmormongeography.info I thought I’d post the more egregious errors here, instead of going section by section as I had originally intended to do. I just checked the site, and got […]
Indiana Jones and Book of Mormon Archaeology
I need a change of pace, so I thought I’d do a little pop culture for a post. My wife and I went to see the new Indy movie the Friday morning after it came out. I’m a big Indy fan. I liked the movie, but it wasn’t as good as #1 or #3, but […]
