For fellow Maranathans, you are invited to attend my class tonight on English translations–how to pick one, how to use it, and everything else you might want to know about your Bible. Which are literal and which are paraphrases? Liberal or conservative? Also, you’ll find out what reading grade your Bible was edited for in a practice I call the dumbing down of the Bible.. This class tonight is part of the Bible College class on Why We Believe the Bible, but I feel this topic tonight has broad appeal so I am opening up the class to everyone. We meet from 7 to 9 in Room 208. The same class is also made available tomorrow afternoon in room 208 from 3 to 5 pm.

Announcement, James, VIDEO Leave a comment
Here is a link to my message last night to the Maranatha Men about Wisdom from James 3:13-18. True, godly wisdom, comes from above and is evidenced by our character and conduct in our relationships with other people. The message starts about halfway through the service, so you can advance the video if you don’t want to wait.

NEW TESTAMENT CANON AND FALSE GOSPELS
April 1, 2015
Attached are the slides from my lecture describing the persecuted Church’s de facto Canon of the NT from 100 AD and the State Church’s de jure Canon dated 380 AD. I also address the rediculous false Gospels, especially those claiming to have been written by Thomas, Mary Magdalene, Peter and Judas. The quotes from them illustrate what it means to be the OPPOSITE of self-authenticating!
I previously omitted the NT Canon slides: NT CANON
