Statistics on Born Again and Churched Christians

Posted on January 18th, 2010 by Shammah

This isn’t condemnation. This is pleasing God. This is finding God’s will. And if we call ourselves Christians, then nothing else ought to matter to us.

Posted on December 31st, 2009 by Shammah

I’d like to direct those of you who read this to the commentary section of my Rest of the Old, Old Story site. I’m going to start updating it, beginning with the things found in today’s blog on Jeremiah 6.
Why should you read a commentary put together by me (especially one as sparse as is [...]

Early Christianity: Do I Have Any Advice?

Posted on December 28th, 2009 by Shammah

Someone wrote me telling me that they’re reading the early Christian writings, including David Bercot’s Writings. Then he asked me if I have any advice.
For those that want to live the life that the apostles and early Christians lived, I do have advice. It is as follows:
I can’t really tell what advice you’re asking for. [...]

When Protestants Become Catholic: Are the Church Fathers a Danger to Born Again Christians?

Posted on December 17th, 2009 by Shammah

Today I read another article about a Protestant becoming Catholic through the reading of the early church fathers. Is this really where the writings of the church fathers lead?
I’ve been reading the writings of the 2nd through 4th century fathers for 20 years now, and I have never thought about becoming Catholic. On the other [...]

This blog started as a comment on one of my other posts, but it kept growing. This post is self-explanatory without seeing the comment I’m responding to, but if you’d like to, it’s on my September 20 post.
The Great Commission
The statement that the great commission was for more than the apostles is made often, in [...]

Roman Catholics, Quote Mining, and Honesty

Posted on November 10th, 2009 by Shammah

I debated whether Roman Catholicism was really a topic that fits this blog. I thought some about the name of the blog. It is “The Rest of the Old, Old Story.”

Revival Preaching

Posted on November 9th, 2009 by Shammah

A fellow named Daniel Hamilton left me a link on one of his comments. It has videos of the preaching of one B.H. Clendennen.
Excellent preaching. Completely based in the traditions of men.
Listen, my friends, Jesus did not raise up a church that is a building. He did not raise up a church that is a [...]

The Councils, the Creeds, and the Salvation of Souls

Posted on September 20th, 2009 by Shammah

I always say there’s nothing like reading error to motivate one to write truth.
I’m prone to writing error here and there, too. I’m human. I have things I don’t understand. I have things I forget to consider.

Scripture: The Foundation of Truth?

Posted on September 17th, 2009 by Shammah

 I saw a blog recently, pretty good other than the ridiculous amount of advertising at the top, and I wrote the following response to it. I thought it was pertinent and ought to be on my blog.
Scripture and the Church
The history part of your post is excellent, and that’s unusual. While there are always going [...]
