@maklelan The Hebrew grammar argument you're making about Genesis 1:1 being a temporal clause is actually one interpretation, but it's not the only valid one - and definitely not the most compelling when you look at the broader evidence. First off, the traditional reading of בְּרֵאשִׁית

Guys, I take doctrine very seriously. But if you think the right time to pick a fight on doctrine is when someone’s house of worship has just been set on fire, and several of their people killed and wounded, well, that’s just called being awful.

@dortner1 So I've been told. Not sure that counts as a joke. More of a skit with funny actors. I'm willing to concede that is the closest anyone has ever gotten to a funny Soaking joke.

Whenever you’re discouraged, remember that millions of people around the world today heard these words at Charlie’s memorial: “He’s the King of glory, He’s the Prince of Peace, He’s the Savior of the world, He’s the living God, He’s the God of all mercy and grace, the total

This was remarkable. I can't believe this came from the sitting Secretary of State, what a powerful presentation of Christ's Gospel to the world.

Why is Charlie Kirk in heaven? “Not because he sacrificed himself for his Savior … Charlie Kirk is in heaven because his Savior sacrificed Himself for Charlie Kirk!” -Dr. Frank Turek

A while back I put out these rules for the internet. 1. When we disagree, we fight. 2. We have a beer afterward. 3. When we agree, we unite. I got a lot of flack, surprisingly, for the line about the beer. People would ask, "Oh yeah, would you have a beer with Charlie Kirk?!"

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.

Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the

I'm sure I have my blind spots, but I regularly interogate my views and try to confirm them to the Bible. I'm not trying to judge anyone's heart, just what Scott has said and the methodology he employs.

A Harvard philosopher once told me Christianity was "intellectually bankrupt" because God becoming human was illogical. I told him that's exactly the point. The scandal of the Gospel isn't that it's too simple. It's that it's too offensive. See, we've sanitized the

What if God’s warnings of eternal punishment were just rhetorical coal in the stocking—meant to scare us, not to be taken literally? In this post I explore the disturbing implications of D&C 19 and contrast it with the God of the Bible, who cannot lie. https://t.co/Ono5tFk3BM

America is awesome because it is a nation “conceived in liberty." Not heredity, ethnicity, or arbitrary borders, like many countries. An idea. Liberty. That's an origin story — a mission statement — worth celebrating.

The Book of Mormon begins during Zedekiah's reign—but 2 Kings 24 says only the poorest remained in Jerusalem. So why are Lehi, Laban, and other elites still there? My new post explores a historical problem at the very foundation of the BOM: https://t.co/PW2mam6vos #lds #exmormon

I used to love how well the Book of Mormon seemed to fit into the Biblical narrative. For instance, I delighted in imagining Lehi preaching alongside Jeremiah and warning against the Babylonian cap…

One of the clearest and most beautiful glimpses God gives us of His triune nature is the relationship between the Father and the Son. It’s not a man-made analogy—it’s the language God uses to reveal His eternal love. https://t.co/wm2sFc35QP
