PAUL COULD BE A JERK when he wasn’t in jail. A free man, he could sometimes get a little too blunt. His bluntest: “I wish the people who are bothering you would castrate themselves!” Galatians 5:12 He wrote that letter of Galatians to Christians …
Donald Trump's favorite Bible verse is an ancient law of retaliation that involves black eyes and knocked-out teeth. Jesus declared it obsolete.
MAYBE I SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF MYSELF, but I kind of enjoy watching Bible-land archaeologists argue with each other. I mean debate. But it’s sometimes arguing. The fact is, I learn by reading their arguments. One of the things they argue about is how …
SOME OF THE SMARTEST PEOPLE I know of say they don’t believe in God. These are people who would score doggone high on an IQ test. They’re smarter than I am. They probably seldom use the word “doggone,” if ever. But I’ve discovered that smart people …
FISHING LIKE A BIBLE GUY isn’t so much about fishing. Kinda, a little. But not that much. Not in this story about what happened to me last week. I took a day off to drive down into the Ozarks and fly-fish with a church friend of mine, Gary. He’s an …
