The Super-Cute and Super-Wrong Religion of Omnism
Omnism, in the sense that we just pretend all religions are true, is a really nice (in the old sense of the word) religion.

Why Mark's Gospel Has Such a Strange Ending: The Mark Series pt 70 (16:8)
I’m not exaggerating when I say that some skeptics, and even some Christians, and some scholars in both categories, will teach that if Mark ends his Gospel at 16:8 then it destroys Christianity as we know it. I think this is silly. But I also think it needs a response. After going through those over […]

Based on the radical changes that Jesus and […]
Clarity on Homosexuality and the Biblical Term "Abomination"
Is Leviticus just offering advice about medical health? Is it identifying homosexual acts as sinful or just potentially unhealthy? Can calmly and carefully try to understand the passage in context? I hope so. I think that the overall context of the passage makes its application pretty clear and even though our current culture tends to […]

How I Would Interpret The Longer Ending of Mark: The Mark Series pt 68 (16:9-20)
This passage is probably most well known because of it’s abuse by snake handling preachers in the United States.
