Random Good Things For Edification


What does being a husband mean?

Things you should know about male headship.

Things you should know about female submission.

Biblical modesty for women.

What about the long ending of the Gospel of Mark — does it belong?

Good reviews of two Ben Hur movies — 1959 and 2016.  Much of what the review says about the 1959 version I had also seen problematic.

 A biblical defense of discernment ministries.

  1. Article on modesty was decent but I do want to warn your readers that the "modesty legalists" are having a field day in the comments section!

    I stopped after skimming about a half dozen of them...

  2. I read quite a few, biting my typing hand a lot. I was amused -- yet saddened -- about such nonsense, but am familiar with it through Gothardism and other homeschooling legalism where a lot of this is found. But I thought the article itself was well worth pointing to.

  3. Ok, you made me LOL there, "biting my typing hand a lot".

    It is sad, and yes, comes from Gothardism, homeschooling legalism, and also (my personal experience) KJVOs.

    Praying your readers have the discernment to take the article for what it's worth, and disengage from the comments section.

  4. I read the post on Mark's long ending, since having done some reading recently on textual criticism. I thought James Snapp, Jr did a good job of offering rebuttals in the comment section. Readers would do well to note both sides of the issue.

  5. Steve,

    I saw most of the comments, and from the arguments I would say the majority -- if not all -- of those disagreeing with the article are KJV Onlyers. I've read a lot of Burgon and other KJVO writers over the past 20 years, and have studied the other side against the KJVO position, and a lot of research on textual criticism, etc. I am a firm believer in the anti-KJVO position, as my chapter reviews of "New Age Bible Versions" demonstrate (I really need to get back to these).

    I think the evidence is quite conclusive that the last part of Mark doesn't belong.
