The Organ of Meaning

This question and prayer came after reading a portion of the history of the Protestant Reformation where Luther actually had someone executed for preaching a differing understanding of baptism than himself…

Is there an example of anyone in the scriptures who died because of bad doctrine on par with a bad understanding of baptism (or less)? I know not of even one! For pride; for lack of pursuit of God; for disobedience and dishonor of God; for a sin in action or condition that is not confessed? Yes, yes, yes, yes. For ignoring God’s Word - yes. For blasphemy - yes. For heretical action - yes. For heretical words - none that I know of. Killing for worldview, for belief or for understandings does not fall in line with any definition of biblical - then, how can any judgment be leveled against a heretic or theological opponent?! For, all righteous judgment is a judgment that can (at some degree) be taken to judgment unto death… and indeed it will on that great and terrible day.

I think over the next few weeks I’m going to pull some stuff out of my real-life journal and post it on here. I was looking through it the other day and thought that I should make some of it searchable for myself - and for you too I guess.

This is for you @davidrussell. I found a good WP plugin that is supposed to be pretty good. I guess we’ll see.

Two weeks ago our pastor spoke a bit on setting life goals. As I’ve worked on them as well as some year goals, quite a few of them have turned out to be quite nerdy. One of my goals for this next year is to post something of substance at least once every other day.

I’m not sure if this post counts.

That I redesign my site far too often.

I have a lot of fun doing so; this is my most drastic to date. Click on the arrow up there and see what I’ve done. I’ve combined the features of two different WP Themes: Foliage Mod 1.02 and Quilm! 0.3.

I’m impressed with my Dr. Frankenstein-like abilities.
