A Refresher on the Gospel

I occasionally ask Christians, ” What is the Gospel?”  I think you will get different responses depending on the social position you are in because although there is one Gospel, it comes to us engaging our own experiences and situations.

RAS KAS Responds

It looks like my critique was sent to Ras Kass and he actually took time to respond: Here is what was sent to me.
“i think the moral of the story is to not take things so literally.. The bible has been changed by human hands and many books of the bible have never been seen. [...]

The Miseducation of Ras Kass

The following video is explicit and is an inside look at what many Blacks around my neighborhood and in low income communities in general think about when it comes to Christianity.

Bitter Sweet Choice: Peter Enns Resigns from WTS

Cretiquing Enns Through Manmade Theological Frameworks

The Polemical Nature of God’s Word

Recently I have had discussions with one man who has taken serious issues with the view that sees Psalms 29 and 83 as being Baal-like hymns originally used to worship Baal but utilized by David to worship Yahweh. Today, the same thing is being done with Christian hip hop and praise worship [...]
