Universal Bell

Last updated on: March 16, 2011 at 2:07 pm By C. Don Jones

OK! There are a lot of people out there who think they know Rob Bell believes in universal salvation and subsequently is in major error. Perhaps the problem we should really be dealing with is that a lot more people are out there who do not know what that previous sentence means.

Original Glory

Last updated on: February 23, 2011 at 1:50 pm By C. Don Jones

Last week I wrote about how the cardinal doctrine of Christian faith – the resurrection – was not a mere product of the New Testament writers. If anything it like the virginal conception of Jesus developed alongside the writing of the new testament books. This time I want to discuss the problem presented by the doctrine of original sin. This teaching developed during the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and was first formulated by St. Augustine. This doctor of... Read more

The New Testament and Doctrine

We are approaching the time of Lent and Easter again. I always enjoy the time of Easter and Holy Week that comes just before it. Lent…well let’s just say I know what it is for. The truth is that I could do without it. However, it just like those trough periods of spiritual dryness and depression that we get before we go back to those rare mountain to moments. So if we must observe Lent before we celebrate Easter…so be... Read more

What about God?

Last updated on: February 7, 2011 at 4:06 pm By C. Don Jones

Once, during a radio interview, I was taken aback by the interviewer asking, “How do we convince people that Jesus is god with skin on?” I admit I stumbled on that question. I could not get over the whole horrifying image of a visitor from another realm being disguised as one of us. (Readers who are familiar with the miniseries of V and the recent reboot know what I mean) I am waiting for someone to look at the imagery... Read more

“I have thoughts!” The above declaration from the film Julie and Julia is the unspoken declaration of anyone who wishes to begin a blog. The part Julie did not say was, “I think they matter to other people.” I suspect that she harbored doubts about this one and let it slide. I have decided to open this new blog by stating that my theological and religious musings may matter to some other people…even if they just get a good laugh... Read more
