    This is so cool. I just got this a couple of days ago. The quality is great and I just used it as a teaching aid this morning.

    My wife commented on how nice it looks in our living room (Michael you thought of everything).

    Everyone should buy 2 so you can show both sides at the same time!

    How long will this offer be valid? I’ve just graduated and am looking for a job, so I have no spare cash (a wife and three children to support). As much as I’d like to buy and support you I can’t, at this present time.

    Do you think I’ll be able to get one in two/three months time?

    CMP, I suggest a maximum of 3 posts per person per day.

    I don’t understand John. At most, we have one per day.

    Sorry, CMP, I didn’t mean lead posts, I meant commenting posts. Some people monopolize by posting 10 – 15 times a day.

    John CT,
    I am sorry for commenting so much, I am at home all day because I don’t have a job. My husband just lost his job and is sick with CHF. So while I am doing my work I take pauses and look at Parchment and Pen. It makes me feel ok to contribute because I like to have someone to talk about things with even if it is on the computer.

    For those who do not know, I have MS (I said it in an earlier post), and am trying to do a lot of computer work to compensate not being able to do a physical job. So this is part of my therapy. I am sorry if it seems too much.

    If someone has any leads as to work on the computer (aside from taking surveys or selling, those are all scams) please let me know.

    CMP,
    As much as the parchment might be nice, I don’t think I could have one.

    Sorry to hear about your MS, Kara. My aunt has it, and is now in a wheel chair. It can be quite a discouraging illness. I wasn’t particularly thinking of you, but I did not want to name names. Given that you are at your computer, you might find it worthwhile to blog at a number of different blog sites, and by so doing interact with a wider range of perspectives and topics. Perhaps you already do; where might I go to find your posts at other blogs?

    regards,
    John

    You can’t monopolize an inexhaustible resource! (If someone posts a lot, that doesn’t stop you from posting.)

    But I suppose you can do something like “spam”, by posting so much that it’s hard to see anyone else’s comments.

    CMP,

    I agree with John CT, and I am not referring to Kara either.

    There are some folks who comment here that seem to have appointed themselves as the blog watchdogs, and everything anyone says on any thread is minutely taken apart just for the heck of it. This, at least to me, results in way too many tiresome, endless comments which are nothing more than mere philosophy discourses.

    I certainly don’t mind honest disagreement, and I really like hearing everyone’s perspective, because it makes a discussion more informative and interesting, when it’s done courteously and in context. Iron does sharpen iron. But I find such exhaustive hairsplitting and questioning over every minor detail, on just about every comment made, leaves the reader more confused about what is really being discussed, than informed.

    Respectfully,
    MBaker

    I agree. It has gotten out of control the last week or two. I will try to think of ways to focus the blog again.

    We just need to keep things on the specific topic of the thread.

    Thank you all.
    Generally I don’t blog on other sites because I forget where I blog at after a while. But I do have some, I just have to actually blog on them. I did have a radio show on blogtalkradio.com. That is a site where you blog in a radio show format from your phone. And now there is blogtv, the blogging is passing quicker than I can keep up with.

    I do have some of my shows from blogtalk on iTunes. It was called Evangelical America. I plan to take it back up when my house is not so noisy.

    On blogtalkradio, there are some people who forget that it is not really a chat room and treat it as such. So you have to be careful who you let call in, but I enjoyed it.

    You want to limit discussion? While some may suggest meat chubs, I find duct tape works wonders

    My feeling is that this is a theology blog; and that involves a certain amount of theory, close reading, etymology, hairsplitting. And Philosophy.

    Otherwise people just talk, without any solid biblical evidence produced, and without any theological framework.

    To be sure, the other day my own comments (one unoccupied Sunday) nearly filled the 1) “Recent Discussion”widow; I apologize.

    To be sure though, if you want another group, another subject, it is easy 2) to pick up any other disccusion that interests you, with different people; by checking the “Categories” chart. And finding the dialogue you are interested in.

    Or 3) use the “search” function to find the subject and group of people, the discussion topic, that you want to join.

    Personally I was surprised to find many other people joining discussions that I partially re-opened, on Greek for example. And on the Eucharist; which had lain fallow for a while it seemed, previously.

    Personally, I’m looking for a good professional/semiprofessional modern theolgians’ blog. One that gets a little traffic. If anyone here knows of one, and would like to recommend it, I’d be happy to go there.

Blog Rules

Please adhere to the following rules to prevent banishment to Siberia (no offense to our Siberian visitors):

  • Do not use the blog to promote yourself, as your surrogate blog, or as an advertisement. I am sure you are interesting and have some really nice things to say, but you can get your own blog.
  • Do not call authors out for debate. You must count the cost (Lk. 14:31). You don’t want to get whipped up on anyway.
  • Keep your comments short. Like when your comments are longer than the blog, that is too long.
  • Read All 6 Rules

Theological Word of the Day

Protestantism
A tradition in Christianity which found its self-identity as “Protestant” in the sixteenth-century Reformation. Protestantism began when the church, according to Protestants, lost the Gospel during the middle to late middle ages and reformers began to “protest” this loss. Martin Luther, often seen as the father of Protestantism, rejected the Pope”s claims to infallible authority, [...] continue reading
