Here is a place to rest for a while and if talking theology is your thing, then you might just enjoy this place. There's no substitute for the Word of God, of course. But the theology here will be discussed in light of the Word of God. The wonderful thing about theology and the Word of God is the more you learn theology and the more you get into the Word of God, the more you see there is to learn.
And that's why I'm blogging. Welcome to my tavern. And, as I suppose is always the case on the internet, YMMV.

Yes, there are many other religious writings and beliefs, but none have the far-reaching life of the Bible, the books of which span about 1600 years and which present a remarkably coherent whole. And it's true that Mosaic Law punished the adultress with death. It is, however, equally true that the Word of God punishes with eternal damnation adulterers and gluttons and liars and murderers and, in fact, everyone. The only redemption from this is through the sacrifice of Christ and His resurrection.
I, too, am grateful for the first amendment, especially as it gives me the opportunity to speak the truth of God's Word.
