This came into tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com a couple of weeks ago. I think we have time to get to it today… In a recent blog, you talked about creation and warfare and mentioned radioactive dating. Could you elaborate on the problems with radioactive dating and also give your thoughts on the recent “missing link” fossil discovery? I’ll [...]
Laymond is still having fun in the comment section of the Trinity blogs, but I’ll continue to move on. Those who want to tune in there are certainly free to do so! Rv:2:15: So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Patrick, who were these Nicolaitans, and [...]
I had originally planned to answer a bunch of questions from the two blogs on 180, but there were so many “call and respond” comments that I think we’ve covered it… for now. We need to get to some of the other questions that have come in to tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com. Some of them are very important [...]
As expected, the comments section has been very busy! We have a lone anti-Trinitarian and we have others with different views about the Trinity. I will wait until I write what I planned to write before attempting to go back into all the comments and digging out challenges, questions, etc. for answering. This is an [...]
This question didn’t come into tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com or via private email. One version of it came in some weeks back, but not in this form. I am addressing it because it often comes up in the comment section of Tentpegs and, far more rarely, in the questions asked me by students at local public high schools [...]
I get questions like this quite often due to my science background (and my continuing work in science) and my work as a minister. This time, I will go a bit further in my answer than I normally do… and, by so doing, I am sure that I will set the cat amongst the pigeons. [...]
Here is a question that often comes up when I am working with those outside the church, especially if they have some interest in the Bible and know a bit about it. Because Genesis 1 describes God creating man on the sixth day (v. 26-31), yet chapter 2 verse 4ff describes God forming the man [...]
You just never know what treasures will come in at tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com. I liked this one enough that it was promoted to front of the line! God never changes, then why was it suddenly a sin, or at least a shame to be naked before God. Didn’t Jesus and his apostles fish naked, aren’t we asked [...]
This is a major question but I will try to answer it while sitting in a hospital waiting area, waiting on my daughter to deliver our first grandchild. My question is about the doctrine or belief that God did forsake Jesus while he was dying on the cross. This position of understanding appears to come [...]
Sometimes a questioner shows me where I left something hanging or where I really didn’t make my point as well as I should. I appreciate that! Too many people read these blogs for me to be lackadaisical about the answers, especially if my answers leave the wrong impression. Regarding the security of our salvation, I [...]
