I am headed out a long way from my computer tomorrow and for the next week. It isn’t the end of the world… or is it? People have seen signs of the end of the world since about day 8 or so. I remember standing by Stirling Castle in central Scotland and watching them put [...]
This site might go quiet while I take a week and a half off. There are only a few questions left at tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com so I think it is safe to leave this alone that long. Go over to www.patrickmead.net and read the series on books that almost made it into our Bibles and those that [...]
We continue to look at books that didn’t make it into the Bible over at www.patrickmead.net but, over here, let’s take two quick questions today. I started reading Matthew this week in my daily Bible reading. It struck me that in the genealogy of Jesus, before the exile, the list is composed of kings. After [...]
Two quick notes. If you want to follow me on Twitter, you can find me at @rochestermead. I use it 90% of the time just for humor so don’t expect anything too heavy. The other point is really a heads up. I am taking my wife out of this terribly cold weather (the “highs” for [...]
First of all, I am astounded that we have reached 300 questions. As I’ve said before, when I started this blog, I expected it to peter out and die around the 50 question mark. Now that we have reached 300, I find that I have about 10 more already waiting at tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com and I wonder [...]
A quick break and then we’ll be back to your questions. This week was an odd one. I was scheduled to speak in Mississippi for the church in Columbus. I drove down via Nashville and dropped off Kami at our daughter’s house so that she could play with our grandson. My plan was to stay [...]
I have tried to answer this in less than book length. Sorry for how long I prattle on and on… If you want to answer this one in tentpegs, that would be fine if you find it interesting enough… I’ve been reading through the OT and just finished reading the accounts of Solomon. Somewhere I [...]
When Tentpegs was launched, we also took questions on marriage, family, and mental health issues. For some reason, those dried up and we went right into religious/theological questions with a few metaphysical or science questions thrown in. After the events of the last few months here at Rochester Church and after receiving about a dozen [...]
With held breath, seat belt tightened, and brain in neutral, let’s go for this one… What do you know about the Jesus Only teachings and modalism? I approach this subject with trepidation because of my history with it. Although he has not chimed in for some time, there has been a fellow who floats around [...]
