Stuff That Has Lately Been Happening...
I'm hitting myself in my head for not providing an adequate definition of philosophy for my mother. I thought of saying "the inquiry of the nature of reality, knowledge and worldviews by logical means", but it sounded weird. I better work on that =)
Terrorists strike London...no comment (Pick a world leader and read his condemnation and that's what I would say).
I probably won't be blogging for quite a while (or perhaps at rather odd intervals), because I'm devoting my almost all of my computer allowance time (One hour, and yes, that's too little) to studying Christian Ethics (brushing up on the subject, as always). Oh, and for my birthday I want to get a Teach-Yourself Greek kit. I've never really got up to studying the vocabulary (I did study on Greek grammer for adding some advantage to my exegetical skils) of Greek, and I always wished I mastered it. Hebrew of course, I hold to somewhat similar views, though my mother's friend happens to know a knowledgeble Anglican elder who teaches Hebrew. I've got to wait for the next semester before I can join the class. But Greek's first to me, for the simple reason is that Christian theology is drawn primarily from the NT. Oops, another duh statement from me...
It's really refreshing to hear my pastor saying that, "by faith in Jesus Christ who lived a life of perfect obedience to the law so that the righteousness he has gained is imputed unto us as a credit to our faith". Okay, something like that, but never in my 4+ years of hearing countless of sermons in my former church have I heard anyone say such a basic, yet beautiful truth. And every Christian should know it, I believe. But I'm sure the triple trio of Sanders, Dunn and Wright will be bound to disagree, darn them.
