Here, David is called "his father" when clearly he was his great-grandfather instead.

Preparing my sermon covering 1&2 Timothy for my AG congregation and wondering how other pastors felt about the creeds. I came to them very late in life but they have revolutionized my understanding of my place in the greater history of Christian theology. I believe that we pentecostals have a very short sighted view of christian thinking which has left us to languor in a back water cutting us off from great fellowship.

Here's a related question I have:<br />I'm confused about the identity of Maacah's father: II Chronicles 13:2 describes "Maacah, the daughter of Uriel from Gibeah" (NLT) "Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah" (KJV); whereas I Kings 15:2 has "Maacah, the daughter of Absalom." (NLT) "Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom" (KJV). I wonder why the KJV has two different names for who I assume is the same person (Michaiah/Maachah = Maacah?); who was her dad?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13998357.post-43710344335780455882012-09-29T14:44:40.535-05:002012-09-29T14:44:40.535-05:00Yoon Shin,

Dr. William Kay is moving over there and they have about two professors who are interested in PC studies. Ken Archer is now the director of the theology program at my school, Southeastern University, and the MATS here has a Pentecostal focus. Also, several students here have either gotten or getting their Ph.D with Dr. Kay. One such student and now professor, Dr. Margarat de Alminana, got me in touch with Dr. Kay and I was able to speak with him couple of days ago. If someone is interested in more empirical, sociological Pentecostal theology, Dr. Kay might be a very good fit.Yoon Shinhttp://seu.edunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13998357.post-27618486051474585722012-09-21T22:57:56.357-05:002012-09-21T22:57:56.357-05:00So glad you made the leap ;)So glad you made the leap ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13998357.post-35725327957668495522012-08-29T15:55:40.123-05:002012-08-29T15:55:40.123-05:00The grandmother solution works if you read 2Chroni...The grandmother solution works if you read 2Chronicles 11:22 where Abijah (Abijam in Kings) is referred to as the son of Maacah, but the son of Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah in 2Chronicles 13:2.Eric Enberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380406541398135318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13998357.post-28917973876847833292012-08-24T12:12:57.566-05:002012-08-24T12:12:57.566-05:00Here, here!

Our history is full of explosions of amazing things, followed by long periods of making a list of things that the Spirit doesn't actually do. I happen to agree with much on those lists, usually because some stuff that we once attributed to the Spirit seem kind of silly and potentially misleading, but there's one thing in particular that I find on that unwritten list that continues to surprise and perplex me: the Spirit no longer inspires us.<br /><br />Now, I'm not claiming to be a writer of holy scripture - but then, neither were most of the writers of holy scripture! We're very willing to accept a message from the Lord for a certain context when it's delivered in tongues, but not when it's in 12-point Helvetica (I switched to Mac ;)<br /><br />Maybe there are plenty of these out there, I've never looked, but I'd like to see a Pentecostal explaining why, when we insist that the Spirit continues to move and act in the same way it did today that it did at Pentecost, we believe that inspiration is complete.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13998357.post-17948458902549171522012-05-29T16:19:26.179-05:002012-05-29T16:19:26.179-05:00So far I've been really enjoying the book by B...So far I've been really enjoying the book by Borg/Wright.
