Just saw this advertised on TV and it made me laugh … post a comment if you don’t get why.
If you missed the link in the comments on “Sheol and the Resurrection of the Dead“, be sure to check out Steve’s new article at Undeception about “The Millennium and the Resurrection of the Dead“. It’s a well-stated argument for the full preterist position that the events described in Revelation 20 are the fulfillment of [...]
One of the odd things about my professional day job is that our offices are on the 5th floor of a hotel. We rent the space, but it’s rather odd to walk into a hotel everyday and head for the elevators. It’s a business hotel, so there’s almost always one conference or another going on: [...]
Steve at Undeception has an interesting article today about Sheol and the Resurrection of the Dead:
The Hebrew word sheol, ubiquitous in the Old Testament, is translated in various Bible passages and translations as “the grave” or “the pit”, and in others left as is. The Alexandrian Jews who translated the Old Testament into Greek around [...]

Well the word is out! Our favorite new era big band, Denver and the Mile High Orchestra is on Fox’s latest show The Next Great American Band. DMHO [...]
Preface: see Introduction, Part 1 and Part 2 for earlier posts in this “book review” series.
Chapter 3 of Harold Best’s “Unceasing Worship” is titled “Mutual Indwelling: The Final Geography of Worship” and moves the text from discussing the time and place of worship in Christ to mutual worship within the corporate body.
Best begins with ruminations [...]
I really don’t know what to make of this article on Rashi’s suggestions about Adam’s adventuresome life with the animals before Eve… read the blog comments for tie-ins to Cro-Magnon, Neanderthals, cavegirls and the Nachash.
Where’s Iyov when you need him?
I’ve tried to stay out of the literary translation debate that has engulfed blogdom for the past week, mostly because I have little to contribute, not being conversant in Greek or Hebrew and reliant on English translations as my primary source.
