Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and [...]

I’ve been doing research on the history of Biblical canon and how the books of our Bible have come to be our books. In particular, I’ve been interested in why Protestants removed specific books, and what criteria was originally used to choose the books. I know a bit here and there, generically, from my Bible [...]

Apparently– and I am not certain of this and cannot be bothered to look as I am severely lazy– Mark, as in the Book of Mark in the Bible, got most of his eye witness information from Peter. The rest of the gospels are written from other various sources.
What is also true is that [...]

I reject two things in my current understanding/experiences of my path in evangelical Christianity, that are seemingly contradictory. The first is that I reject the hostility toward all sciences, from biology to psychology, including philosophy and thought. The idea is that the Bible is so worthy of worship, that no other area of [...]

I am just a bit behind in here, I suppose. It’s been a crazy week and a half. I finally got my power back on Sunday, and then my computer stopped working until Tuesday, and I’ve been doing Christmas shopping. I’m trying to think of something meaningful to write, but really, who [...]

In looking for new blogs to read, I happened to come across this site. I haven’t had much of a chance to explore it, yet, but I think it’s an interesting idea.
The idea is to make an “active, visual, meditative” way to pray, by drawing a person or group of people’s names, and then [...]

I made up these questions because I’m curious, and obviously in need of more sleep. They’re all Christianity related, but I’d like to open them to everyone. (Sure, I’ll answer them eventually.)
Everyone:
1. What is your general religious background?
2. Have you read the Bible in its entirety?
3. Do you think it is [...]

I think I would like to be more warm-hearted, more forgiving, more understanding. I would like to be less angry and bitter. I would like to be more patient, stable, calm– a better friend and a better wife. I long to be more feminine.
I would like to learn to be [...]

I was tagged by Jarred for a rather interesting meme. The original writer of the meme can be found at http://eirsinitiate.wordpress.com/.
My perspective is from a Christian, who does not affiliate herself with any particular denomination. I attend a non-denominational, conservative, evangelical church. My theological views tend to align with this particular church, [...]
