Gov. Rick Perry

The part about putting illegal immigrants into Texas is what got me. After all that State did for the Hurricane Katrina disaster…

Bogus Bible Blues

You’ve got to hear it to believe it. This is from the King James Only Amazing Grace Baptist Church. This is the congregation led by Grizzard that recently made the news for public burnings of the NIV Bible translation. They also destroyed books from Rob Bell to James White to John Piper to Mark Driskol. Driskol? uh… Well, pretty much everybody is labeled a heretic. Boo and hiss for their pile of shame on the Gospel and the Christian faith, but the song is so silly its funny.

And by the way, if you are in this movement or a Church like this, you’re in a cult…

Cat butt

I apologize if this post doesn’t seem in good taste. I don’t know what it is about cats. When I visit a certain friend, their cat always must climb on my chest and then turn around, and gives me a case of ‘cat butt’ right in my face. Now when I ran across this pic, imagine my horror…

Framed

According to an October blog posting here,

World Magazine, the publication that had originally stoked the fires of this controversy, did a cover story on the TNIV. That story was, in my view, an inaccurate and, at times, inflammatory account. I wrote a fairly brief letter to the editor. They published only a part of that letter. The end result was that I was made to look worse for my written effort. The result of this was to generate more mail, a great deal of it angry and accusatory….Most made assumptions and many called me names and expressed their horror at my departure from the faith.

Most Vulnerable Browser: Firefox

From internetnews.com

Application security vendor Cenzic today released its security trends report for the first half of 2009 application. In it, Cenzic claims that the Mozilla’s Firefox browser led the field of Web browsers in terms of total vulnerabilities.

According to Cenzic, Firefox accounted for 44 percent of all browser vulnerabilities reported in the first half of 2009. In contrast, Apple’s Safari had 35 percent of all reported browser vulnerability, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer was third at 15 percent and Opera had just six percent share.

I flip for Fee

Gordon Fee quotes:

God is interested in reforming us into his image, not adding numbers to the heavenly list…The goal of Salvation is not to populate heaven with as many individuals as God can. The goal is to create a people who bear the image of God here on earth, and they do that in their relationships with one another.

TNIV Reference Bible pictures

Qohelet requested photo’s of the inside of my new Bible. I pictured two quick photo’s from my cell phone. Select each photo for a large 1552×2592 display. Don’t do this on a dial-up connection, unless your going to make a sandwich. A better looking official sample is here.

Shooting abortion doctors is a bad move

Scott Roeder

Scott Roeder will argue at his trial that he was justified in shooting abortion doctor George Tiller. From FoxNews.com,

“Because of the fact preborn children’s lives were in imminent danger this was the action I chose. … I want to make sure that the focus is, of course, obviously on the preborn children and the necessity to defend them,” -Scott Roeder

Shooting abortion doctors is a really bad move. It’s a PR disaster for Churches, Pastors and Christians and the pro-life movement. It’s also murder. I haven’t found where Roeder has identified himself as a Christian, but Christians are going to get somewhat shackled with this.

TNIV Reference Bible

I just received the TNIV Reference Bible in the mail. It’s been reviewed and re-reviewed so I’m not going to mess with any of that. My reasons for getting this? Single column layout, nice readable font and comprehension isn’t ruined by a verse by verse layout. The layout is similar to the TNIV Books of the Bible only with chapter and verse included. I prefer the Books of the Bible for reading but it’s not practical to take to a meeting because without chapter and verse, it takes to long to find your place.

Zondervan display

I was recently in Barnes & Noble, a secular bookstore, and noticed a Zondervan display in the religious books section. The two bottom holders contain TNIV Bibles. I’ve never seen this in a Zondervan display. I would have to think that if this had been done sooner the TNIV would have had more stage time so to speak. Instead, it’s on the endangered species list. Boo & hiss…
