THE APOLOGETIC FRONT: Grek Koukl on "same-sex marriage"

I'm glad to see Greg Koukl's comments on this subject . I agree, they need to be read and discussed. It really does come down to whether or not we are going to live God's way or our own.

Atheism is Dead: The Mad Pagan Skeptic, part 1

Mariano has written a great essay discussing  atheism and its logical conclusions. He begins this series building on a Nietzche's  Parable of the Mad Man. It is brilliant. Here is his introduction:

Atheism is Dead will now begin a tripartite consideration of the mad Pagan skeptic whereby we will consider Friedrich Nietzsche’s virtual prophecy about what would come about due to the death of God.
We will also consider a biblical statement about humanity’s natural knowledge of God and our purposeful negation of such knowledge.
Lastly, we will consider to what atheism has come as they seek to find meaning in a meaningless universe and seek to prop up their favored ideas upon contradictions of their own making.

This essay will be parsed as follows:
1) An Exposition of The Parable of the Mad Man
2) Neo Pagan Atheism
3) The Modern Skeptic

Here is another example of a post so brilliant that i can't help but share it. I truly think that Nietzche went insane because without God there is nothing else for a human mind to do, but snap. Even atheists today, who are not insane, don't realize that they maintain conscious cohesiveness and rationality byu the whim of God.I recommend that everyone read Mariano's full article and the whole series!

Dr. Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament: Did Moses Have a Cleft Lip?

This is a great post from Dr. Claude Mariottini. I never considered that Moses could have had a medical condition. I also disagree with the rabbinical idea that God does not call people to service who have disabilities. I know that God does use people who are disabled. One of the Pastors in my denomination is blind and he is constantly used by God. He is just one of the examples I know of. Mariottini does a great job showing  how Moses' answer when God called him from the burning  bush. has been interpreted and re-interpreted.
