What Does It Mean to Survive Death?
Byhenry October 19, 2015
In my Eschatology study last Thursday (Oct. 15, 2015) I tried to answer an audience question. Here it is: Is the sense of the presence of Jesus today dependent on the historical Jesus surviving death? Or, is it more like the presence of a departed parent that lingers after death? And here’s the video, set…

Is the UMC Dying?
Byhenry April 10, 2013

Series on Chauvinistic Passages in the Bible
Byhenry January 19, 2009
Christopher Smith has written a three part series on chauvinistic passages in the Bible. The passages are: 1 Corinthians 11:3-16 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 1 Timothy 2:11-15 In general I agree with what he writes, though I think the balance of evidence is slightly in favor of 1 Corinthians 14:34-35.
