“The battle is over two different interpretations of the exact same evidence. Walsh claims creationists must look through scientific literature and cherry-pick what they like” -AiG

General Revelation (Part 4)
Read the series.
God’s revelation is woven into the “warp and woof” of everyday living. This is because General Revelation and Special Verbal Revelation work together in unison. This is most important to keep in mind. When God gives someone something like, revelation or ability, never works against Himself, He always gives in accordance with His will and His decree for the gift to be used. So it is with the gift of General Revelation.

"[T]his is what defenders of the TR believe, too. You disagree only in degree, not kind, with the mainstream view."

“There are about two dozen printed ‘TR’ editions with varying levels of difference among them. Which one preserves the perfect text? Purchasers of which of these editions had the every jot and tittle promise fulfilled for them? It can be only one—if indeed you believe in perfect preservation.” - By Faith We Understand

"Barely Christian" – R.C. Sproul on Arminianism
I first encountered the term “High Calvinism” when I read Lewis Chafer’s systematic theology. This term is a bit old-fashioned now, of course. If someone is a “High Calvinist,” it means he’s very Reformed in his soteriology. This surely described R.C. Sproul!

Good Mishnah Translation?
Does anyone know of a good, reliable, solid translation of the Mishnah? I bought Neusner’s work several years ago, but I’m finding it increasingly difficult. The translation is so literal it’s incomprehensible, and I don’t think his numbering system agrees with the standard system, but I could be wrong. Any ideas?
