New Post – “The False Prophet of the Church”

Okay, faithful readers, this is a biggie. Normally, when I post on my other blog, I just say that it is available if you should be so inclined.

However, for this post, I am going to ask that all my readers make time to go to the blog and read it. Well, my Christian readers, that is. After all, my other blog is where I write about biblical topics, etc.

The reason that I am asking you to either go there and read now, or to bookmark it and make time this week, is because I learned something that is absolutely mind-boggling to me: that the Jews were blameless in rejecting the Jesus that the Church presented to them. As I explain in the article, I am not denying the divinity of Jesus, that he was God’s Messiah.

Not at all.

Instead, I learned that because of the false teachings about Jesus, the Church presented a false Messiah, according to God’s own Word.

Please, please, please, take the time to read the article. If you are a regular Christian reader, you know that this is out of character for me, so you know that I believe that this is important information. My post can be found at:

The Church and Your Marriage. What Could Go Wrong?

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve gone down the road of a personal rant, but a recent comment by a husband who feels somewhat abused by our feminized church culture has me turning to the dark side of the Curmudgeonly Force.

In the back and forth to my Reset #3 post, I responded to a reader’s comment by saying that a refused husband needs to take action in his marriage, and not let things coast along in a sexless marriage. I made the statement that the husband in a situation where the wife insists that he needs to move first should say “This is not a negotiation. Yes, it is my duty to meet your emotional need for connection, but by the same token it is your duty to meet my need for connection, as well. You have to be willing to step up.”

btw – for those who don’t get my Twitter announcements, my lead in to this story was “A Methodist minister meets Jesus”. Hope that is intriguing enough. 🙂

“Why A Rabbi?”: A Slight Detour [link]

I have a new post up on my CSL On The Bible blog.

Be A Man

In a place where there are no men, strive to be a man.
~ Rabbi Hillel, Pirke Avot 2:5

A college professor tells how every spring he can count on having a stream of students come to his office for the annual Identity-Crisis Whinge.

“Professor, I don’t know who I am, I need to take time off to find myself. I need to peel back the layers that society has imposed on me and find out who I am at my core.”

He says that he’d love, just one time, to be able say, “What if you peel back all the layers and find that you’re an onion, with nothing at your core?”
