Gehenna (Hinnom) Valley near the Old City in Jerusalem

Gehenna vs. Hell: Did the Church Misinterpret Jesus?

The ideas of Hell and the Lake of Fire terrify many Christians. But what did Jesus say about these topics? Jesus consistently used the word Gehenna when speaking about what would come to pass. But it was systematically changed in the Bible thereby changing the meaning of many passages. This should trouble us. My online …

Elijah Already Came According to the New Testament

According to some Christians, we are awaiting the return of Elijah in the End Times. However, Jesus makes it pretty clear that the expected Elijah came in His time. New Testament writers also make it quite clear that the prophesied Elijah was already there.  Shelly breaks it down in this video. For your convenience, I’ve …

C. S. Lewis on the Most Embarrassing Bible Verses

C. S. Lewis on the Most Embarrassing Bible Verses

C.S. Lewis said that the verses about Jesus returning in the lifetime of his followers are the most embarrassing verses in the Bible. Here is the Scripture to which he’s referring. It occurs in three of the four Gospels. Matthew 24:34, Mark 13:30, and Luke 21:32 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass …

Not One Stone Left Upon Another | The Olivet Discourse

Preterism Tweets by Andrew Torba

My online friend, Shelly, did a video recently about Andrew Torba and the fact that he sounded like a Preterist. I shared the video on Gab and tagged Andrew. My gab didn’t really go anywhere so I forgot about it. (I’ll embed Shelly’s video at the end of this post.) Yesterday, Andrew followed me and …

What Should Women Do In The Church | Wayne Grudem

Several years ago, Wayne Grudem wrote But What Should Women Do In The Church? It went massively viral and was discussed at length. I found a copy in the Wayback Machine and have copied it here so it is not lost. I’ve tried to retain the original formatting as much as possible. As I’ve been …

Were the Apostles Wrong About Jesus’ Return?

A few years ago I started seriously thinking through many points of doctrine related to the last things, Revelation, the Gospels, the current nation-state of Israel, etc. I have joked about being a panmillenialist (because it will all pan out in the end). But a few things became glaringly obvious to me and I decided …

Sallie Schaaf Borrink

I’m a Christian, wife, homeschool mom, battle-seasoned blogger, and happy warrior for Christ. I discuss how Christians who don’t fit dominant institutional church and cultural narratives are already living truthfully and faithfully in the body of Christ.

“Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.” Acts 17:11

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
