    ECT Speaker on 2 Pet 3

    There is a daily radio program called either A WORD WITH YOU or AMAZING FACTS which has a great understanding of the date-setting problem of eschatology. One source of the program is KROH Port Townsend WA 91.1 FM, M-F about 430 (the print schedule shows both programs at that time)...

    Catastrophic Plate Tectonics continues to raise its profile

    The 15 min daily radio program Science, Scripture and Salvation is on CPT this week. CPT = catastrophic plate techtonics. Dr. John Baumgartner is probably the foremost spox on this, with a sim video of the event. This event, not 'rain', is regarded as the deluge referred to in Gen 6, although...

    ECT Gen 12: Does the Bible start off in another direction?

    It certainly seems that the Bible starts off in another direction here. I must grant that to 2P2P friends. However, it is here that the NT now tells us that something else was intended to be true 'in Christ.' The 'Seed', for example, is still Christ, which we would have known from Gen 3 and...

    ECT Fundamental question: how can the one David referred to be his son?

    One part of understanding this line is the scene itself; the other part is to notice this is after the vineyard and wedding parables and before ch 23. We know that Judaism was looking for David's son to appear because of all the MAD/D'ist people here obsessed with that. (D'ism is a way of...

    ECT Some Directions from I Cor 7 MAD cannot absorb

    In some middle paragraphs on marital issues, Paul says to stay as you were called as a Christian: stay slave stay free stay unmarried stay married stay uncirc stay circ Circ and Uncirc are nothing (which is why I don't believe Acts 18 is a doctrine about circ). Then the knock out: KEEPING...

    ECT Ps 89: too much about Christ to be about David

    Although I've never heard the great David's-throne enthusiasts use Ps 89, they could. They prefer other passages. But after seeing how the NT uses Ps 89, I may have found why they avoid it. It turns out it does not validate David as we know him, which is the point. When you get to vs 19-29...

    ECT The Contradictory Pursuit of MAD

    The thing MAD pursues, like D'ism in general, is a coherent Bible, or a solid one. They think this is to be achieved by noting the land promises of Israel and then upholding the future fulfillment of these. Not to do so is like abandoning the faith. It so happens that this is on the right...

    ECT 'Kosmos' vs. 'Gea' re the land of Israel.

    There are some things that Jesus said using one of these terms that is limited to Israel. In Mt 5, the inheriting of the 'gea' is because in that generation to avoid conflict with Rome would have saved the place. Some of these are in Mt 24A about the DofJ. But 'kosmos' is used for world as...

    ECT The Mission Launched at Pentecost

    Besides the over 200 workers he had ready before Pentecost, a huge number were created that day. They returned home over the whole world (Roman) and now the message was the uncomplicated historical fact of God forgiving through Christ. It was a kickstart if there ever was one. All you had to...

    ECT New findings about the DofJ

    http://www.amazingfacts.org/news-and-features/af-blog/article/id/14270/t/parallel-final-events The article starts out well but doesn't realize what v29 is saying. And has no delay doctrine addressed by 2 Peter 3. Funny how people think that their minds are supposed to organize it all; that...

    ECT The Other King: Act 17:7

    Notice that the Jews stir up this strife that Paul is preaching another King than Caesar. (I didn't expect them to be buddies with Caesar!). But my point is that Jesus was preached as a King. That misunderstanding is there because he was preached as a king but not of a kingdom like you would...

    ECT Acts realism vs MAD theoretics: Acts 16:3

    After the council of ch 15 cleared up what mattered about the Law, Paul had to deal with pressure from Jews about the circumcision of Titus. It is perfectly clear that the reason for doing it was not devotion to the Law (ch 15 answered that with the 'yoke none of us could carry.') It was...

    ECT Things known for ages--Acts 15

    The reaching of the Gentiles for salvation was known for ages. It was happening before the apostles eyes. It was the raised tent of David that had fallen. V14 is actually interpreting it before we get to it. There are therefore two things in Acts 15's reflective comments that show that the...

    Moore grows up in summary on economics

    It's taken 15 years of filmmaking for all the wrong reasons, but Michael Moore has finally made the much-needed statement in which Clintobamics is show for the ruin that it is. It is frightening, as he says, that a person who has no real business experience could be set in charge again of this...

    ECT The Broken Record of MAD

    ...which it seems entirely happy with! 1, MAD: you must believe it; you are clueless without it 2, Response to MAD: but it's not there in the passages themselves 3, MAD: that's because you read too many books about the Bible 4, Response to MAD: but I've read MAD and they keep saying what...

    ECT What's the issue in early Acts between the Gospel and Judaism?

    After I listen to MAD, I simply don't understand what issue exists between the Gospel and Judaism IN EARLY ACTS. It's possible to see one after that. But that's not how the (hi-)story goes, is it?

    ECT The Succession of the two recent Jewish holidays as understood by R. Prager

    The new year and the day of atonement lead into each other in an interesting way to Dennis Prager: the first is when Ecclesiastes is read, in which most of life does not makes sense. But the judgement of God makes sense of life, after all. That holiday is followed by yom kippur and atonement...
