From a post on my personal Facebook account: This article is especially troubling for two reasons. First, it implicitly establishes a religious test for a government appointment, which is unconstitutional. Second, Russell Vought is unable to flat-out say that you are lost without Jesus (although, in fairness to him, he does mention, multiple times, the…

Interpreting Away the Great Comission
I read a truly disturbing article last night: “Why German Protestants Will Stop Converting Muslims” Basically, a draft document for the Protestant Church in Germany nixes the idea of evangelizing Muslims: The Church does not only categorically rejects the conversion of reform-minded Muslims but outright dismisses all missionary work directed at Muslims. There is so…
Proving There Is A God, Sodom Found (Maybe), and Scientists Reducing Faith
I saw three interesting articles on the Internet today. The first says there is no way to prove there is a God: “Why God Cannot Be Proven: A Star Trek Argument” Basically, it claims you can always posit that anything that seems supernatural is actually just a smarter alien using non-supernatural means that seem magical…

It Is Wrong. Full Stop.
There are times when the word “but” should never occur in a sentence. One of them is when apologizing. Just apologize. Don’t say, “I’m sorry, but…” Well, unless you really aren’t apologizing. Another time to not use the word “but” is when someone murders someone else. For instance, say, when radical Islamist terrorists kill 12…

“A good word for #the15…but Fahrner left out Ephesians 5:11”
The Laodicean Report gives a quick review of “My Advice for #the15” page: “A good word for #the15…but Fahrner left out Ephesians 5:11” Good news is that I may not have included Ephesians 5:11, but I sure agree with it. 🙂 Thanks for reading and reviewing it @laodiceanreport! P.S. And no qualms with “the LR editors have…
Better Watch Out…Here Come the Tone Police!
Traditores is proud to announce the formation of the Tone Police! The Tone Police are Christians who encourage those who “speak the truth in love” to emulate the Tone Police Commissioner, Jesus Christ, while doing so.

“I have the right to doubt, am I using it?”
I listen to old-time radio all night, specifically 20th Century Radio. This morning, after my wife’s alarm unintentionally went off (doh!) and my youngest daughter (not considering it is two hours earlier here, doh!) texted, “Happy Thanksgiving,” Night Beat’s “Target for a Day” episode was playing. The main character, reporter Randy Stone, had been falsely accused by…

Trust me, it’s the best Christmas music on this planet :-), so you should give it a listen: http://radio.countdown2.christmas (Yes,…
Link Round-Up
I’ve been amiss in sharing links, perhaps in part because I don’t want my posts to always be negative. So, with little commentary, here are some articles for review… “Coeur d’Alene City Attorney confirms: conservative Christian ministers’ wedding chapel business must provide same-sex marriage ceremonies” (October 22, 2014) “California Orders Churches To Fund Abortions—Or Else”…
Do You Have a 5-4 Faith?
In a decision yesterday that was a win for religious freedom, the U.S. Supreme Court found in favor of Hobby Lobby and some other companies, ruling that they cannot be forced to provide insurance coverage for certain types of birth control they consider abortifacients. Although I am more a glass half full kind of guy,…
Free Will == Brain Background Noise?
The concept of free will could be little more than the result of background noise in the brain, according to a recent study. Okay… According to the research, published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, decisions could be predicted based on the pattern of brain activity immediately before a choice was made. Well, looks like…
Differences Between the Two Largest Presbyterian Denominations
You may have heard that the Presbyterian Church (USA) just moved to divest of three companies doing business connected with Israel (strike 1) and to allow their ministers to bless same-sex marriages (strike 2). However, this comparison of them and the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) shows they, from a Christian and biblical sense, struck…
Meriam Yehya Ibrahim Ishag
UPDATE: It looks like Meriam will be released?: Sudanese authorities are to free a woman who was sentenced to death for having abandoned the Islamic faith, a foreign ministry official says. Meriam Ibrahim, who gave birth to a daughter in custody, will be freed in a few days, the official told the BBC. Abdullahi Alzareg,…
