Another Conversation on the Law
I posted this image on X recently with the caption, ‘But I’m the one “cherry-picking” when I use the clear passages to interpret the ambiguous passages.’ After numerous hostile and rude replies, I added ‘I’d love to have a conversation with someone who disagrees and is intelligent, thoughtful, and civil. I’m tired of the frauds, snakes, and ignoramuses.’
Someone named Langston replied. His comm

Disappointed I love The Spiral Wars. The writing in this book was great, if the story a little slow to get moving. The thing that cost it a couple of stars, though, was the weird focus on a robot's sex life. I don't want that in a story that's only ab ...more |

Meh This book could have been great, but the author engaged in too much petty semantic posturing and not enough biblical exegesis. It's especially unfortunate because I really agree with most of his conclusions. ...more |

"Fun read with issues
This is a little hard to rate, it’s somewhat enjoyable, quick to read, good pacing; however, the writing style is an off-putting narrative, all tell and no show, and overall comparable to a USA Today level type of thing. The other" Read more of this review » |

"I find all the 5-star reviews for The Artifact to be highly suspect. This is, quite simply, the most poorly written novel I have ever read.
How bad is the writing? Think of as many examples of poor writing as you can. I'll wait. That's not enough. Thin" Read more of this review » |

"Not sure what this book intends to be
I gave up after about halfway through, there was minimal humor, no suspense, no interesting scientific experiments or findings. The story is simply unbelievable and lacks any science fascination." Read more of this review » |

“Within the Christian worldview, Scripture is the sole and ultimate test for truth. God has given us a system of truth through the Scripture. Since the Bible is God's revelation, it can never be wrong on any issue that it addresses. A thorough knowledge and understanding of the Scripture, then, is our ultimate safeguard against satanic deception of every kind.”

“From William Blake to Lady Gaga, from Rousseau to Rumi to Tosca to Mister Rogers, it’s a curiously uniform message, accepted from high to low: when in doubt, what to do? How do we know what’s right for us? Every shrink, every career counselor, every Disney princess knows the answer: “Be yourself.” “Follow your heart.” Only here’s what I really, really want someone to explain to me. What if one happens to be possessed of a heart that can’t be trusted—? What if the heart, for its own unfathomable reasons, leads one willfully and in a cloud of unspeakable radiance away from health, domesticity, civic responsibility and strong social connections and all the blandly-held common virtues and instead straight towards a beautiful flare of ruin, self-immolation, disaster?”
