12/14/2024 So we got an email about our church sprinkler system failure causing us not able to worship tomorrow at Grace. So Nadia and I decided to visit the church which U has been moonlighting at. Millington Baptist Church. I have my list of churches to visit, MBC and PCA's Crossroads Community Church are on top of my list because they are being mentioned most during my time at Grace. I had briefly checked MBC's website before and was impressed by some of their programs, such as Behind the Pulpit podcast, which is supposed to be a chat about the sermon that was just preached. The idea was my praise, but I cannot value the content because I haven't gone through them comprehensively yet. But now, reading their statement of faith, I caught some error: #5 "Satan is the author of sin", if I understand what they're implying, then I would not agree. Everyone of us is the author of sin, not just Satan. They probably got this off of John 8:44 "father of lies" or that it was Satan who beguiled Adam and Eve, which are inadequate for this conclusion.
12/10/2024 Dr. Tong criticized 周神助牧师 of twisting the verse: 1 Corinthians 14:15 - "pray with the spirit and also pray with the understanding. 我要用灵祷告，也要用理智祷告." or 用悟性祷告. The Charismatics twisted this verse to be all should speak in tongue. Tong had them hosted a debate on this during the 4th 华富大会。I have just ordered this meeting for $22.
12/09/2024 Dr. Ed Feser's method to bully is to bully back. This Catholic way is not biblical. Jesus doesn't care if someone's a bully or not, He rebuked Peter harshly, He cleansed the temple with wrath, He ignored the high priests and Pilate.
