Jesus Ordained Women, So We Should Too

Last updated on: October 12, 2012 at 10:26 am By Zack Hunt

I have been waiting for the “right time” to post this. To be honest, I’m not sure I knew what indicators I was looking for that would mark that moment, but after reading Desiring God‘s hatchet job of a review of Rachel Held Evans’ new book A Year of Biblical Womanhood, I thought now was as good as time as any. In the review. Rachel’s critic attempts to make the case that Rachel’s literalist approach to the Bible wasn’t being... Read more

Jesus Politics Guest Posts – TODAY’S THE DEADLINE!!!

Last updated on: October 12, 2012 at 8:57 am By Zack Hunt

Don’t forget that today’s the deadline for submitting your guest post for the Jesus Politics synchroblog coming up October 22nd – 26th!! Remember, I’m looking for guest posters willing to share why they are voting for either Mitt Romney or a third-party candidate and why they think other Christians should do the same. I’ll be adding them to a line up that also includes those who think Christians should vote for Obama and those who think Christians... Read more

Church – ‘If You Don’t Use It, You Lose It’

Last updated on: October 11, 2012 at 9:20 am By Zack Hunt

NBC‘s brief look at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is intertesting enough on it’s own. But what is particularly entertaining, is what one of the priests says at the end. You see, there are several Christian traditions that lay claim to various parts of the church. As you might expect if you’ve ever attended any church for any length of time, they don’t always get along. And by that I mean there are occasional fist fights... Read more

Should Christians Be Offended By ‘Jesus Jokes’?

Last updated on: October 10, 2012 at 10:57 am By Zack Hunt

When you host a blog that pokes fun at some of the goofy things we sometimes do as Christians, the issue of whether or not doing so is “offensive” or “dishonoring to God” often comes up. By that I mean there is this sense that Christians should never giggle at, or even criticize other Christians no matter how ridiculous the thing they’re saying or doing might be. Because, you know, Jesus never laughed and he certainly never... Read more

The LEGO New Testament

Last updated on: October 9, 2012 at 8:23 am By Zack Hunt

If, like me, you have spent too much time perusing the deep recesses of the Christian internet world, then you are no doubt familiar with The Brick Testament. It’s a wonderful site that’s been around for a while. There Brendan Smith recreates scenes from the Bible using LEGOs. It’s pretty brilliant if you ask me. After having converting some of his website to book form in last year’s The Brick Bible: A New Spin on the Old Testament, Smith is... Read more

From Junk To Jesus

Jesus Politics – A Presidential Election Synchroblog

Last updated on: October 8, 2012 at 8:43 am By Zack Hunt

Do you have an opinion on who should be our next president? Of course you do. Well, I want to hear from you. As I announced last week I will be hosting a series of guest posts along with a synchroblog October 22nd-26th which will focus on the always controversial topic of which candidate Christians “should” vote for. Each day that week we’ll hear from a different guest poster as to why they think Romney, Obama, or... Read more

Jesus The Pharisee?

Last updated on: October 3, 2012 at 10:39 am By Zack Hunt

(via) I love school. I especially love school when what you learn there reshapes how you look at things. That happened yesterday in my Judaism in the Time of Jesus class, which is taught by the great Old Testament scholar John Collins. The class focuses on what is called Second Temple Judaism, the sort of Judaism, as the class title reveals, which Jesus practiced. While the class focuses primarily on Jewish issues and not Jesus himself, I signed... Read more

School Of The Gladiator

Last updated on: October 2, 2012 at 2:55 pm By Zack Hunt

Bet you can’t guess what the School of the Gladiator’s motto is. “What you do in life, echoes in eternity.” Seriously, I’m not making that up. But say what you will about this lady’s “school.” There’s no doubt in my mind that she’s probably the most entertaining “teacher” of all time. And by “teacher” I, of course, mean a side show performer. And by “school” I mean circus. Christian Nightmares found this. Read more

Giant 50 Foot Jesus Attacks Ohio Town

Last updated on: October 2, 2012 at 8:12 am By Zack Hunt

Ok, technically giant Jesus hasn’t attacked the small Ohio town yet, but…. I’ve seen Honey, I Blew Up the Kid. I know how this thing turns out. What starts off as cute and cuddly quickly turns into a raging torrent of destruction. “Hug Me Jesus” isn’t so cute when he gives you a hug and crushes all the bones in your body with his giant arms. Ok, technically that sort of thing didn’t happen in Honey, I... Read more
