Yes, I know. It is not actually a painting but an etching.

Comment on Lilith by Rahno D. Sheffler

You have found my favorite author. Here is another quote from LILITH: The darkness knows neither the light nor itself; only the light knows itself and the darkness also. None but God hates evil and understands it.

/in illo tempore …/ Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him …

On the other hand…

… And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out? And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

Er… “Be instant in season, out of season … “? “I have become all things to all people”? hmm… not quite. “I come not to destroy the Law, but to fulfill it”?

Say, what would have been the Canaanite name for themselves? Or was that obliterated with the rest of it?

Comment on Notes on Faith by KYCAMD

The idea of faith as opposite to reason and faith as belief without evidence are both part of modernism as promoted by people like Richard Dawkins and Bertrand Russell. When preachers use such examples they show they have bought into that party line of the culture and are propagating a false understanding of faith. For some reason they believe that makes both God and the person look better. God is so faithful, no evidence is needed or I have so much faith I don’t need any evidence.

I really appreciate the idea of gaining strength from the one who is believed in. This is in contrast to the idea of it doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you are sincere or measuring strength of faith by how sure you are rather than what your faith is in. The truth is, as reflected in your study, the most important part of faith is the object of that faith.

Thanks, Dan. This is good stuff. Thinking of faith in terms of reliability gives me a lot to chew on.
