from the article: In the main, he argues that historic Christianity has been based on nothing but a lie and that those who now represent themselves as biblical Christians are lying to themselves and to others — and doing great harm in the process.

Back in my youth, perhaps four decades ago now, I used to subscribe to Newsweek because I thought it somewhat more balanced than Time, and this was back in my McGovern-liberal days. I have not read a Newsweek outside of a doctor's office in at least two, perhaps three decades. Yet I am not offended by this article, because the magazine is irrelevant. Also, Psalm 2 applies.

“Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. 44“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45“But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me. 46“Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? 47“He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.” -John 8

So News-WEAK is all of a sudden so concerned about the validity of our faith. Right.

It being about the Bible, it grabs your attention.

But in fact no more misrepresented than anything else in Newsweek.

What exactly is the Newsweek business model these days? Who actually pays for their content?

So Newsweak believes it can judge the truth of God without knowing what is truth or God. Newsweak believes they can judge christian ethics without an extrinsic source for ethics. Newsweak believes it can judge two millennia of Christians for being judgmental; and they don't see the irony.

I conclude that Newsweak believes themselves to the source of truth, ethics and reality and must believe themselves to be gods. Bummer for them, I believe the one true God is not amused.

I honest to God love Albert Mohler. He writes like a guy with a brain between his ears.

These days, that's like water in the desert.

**When it comes to Newsweek‘s cover story, “The Bible: So Misunderstood It’s a Sin,” Eichenwald appears to be far outside his area of expertise and knowledge. More to the point, he really does not address the subject of the Bible like a reporter at all. His article is a hit-piece that lacks any journalistic balance or credibility. His only sources cited within the article are from severe critics of evangelical Christianity, and he does not even represent some of them accurately. **

Some writers just don’t know how to write.

***...blockbuster discoveries.*** WOW!

“Pertness and ignorance may ask in three lines a question that will take thirty pages of learning and ingenuity to answer;
And when this is done, the same question shall be triumphantly asked again the next year, as if nothing had ever been written on the subject.” -Bishop Horne 1831

Tonight, on the History Channel, begins a 3-part series called “REVELATION, END OF DAYS”

Newsweek, in its feeble attempt to be relevant, headlines a story about the Bible.

Hollywood struggles with attempts to make Bible-oriented films to attract the public.

This, after nearly a century of relativistic, critical scholarship attempting to to tell that world that the Bible is “Irrelevant”.

Interesting.......

I live near a guy from Australia, originally from Greece. He speaks Greek, Hebrew, English, French, Italian and German. He tells me that the Greek to English translations of the New Testament are EXTREMELY good, with maybe a minor variation in spelling here and there, not one having anything to do with any major doctrine. I wonder what this same clown thinks about the English translation of the Koran. To this nutcase, the Koran is probably divinely and errorlessly translated. The guy is a total nerd.

So what is Eichenwald’s point? No need to read the Bibe? No need to be saved? Do what one wants there will be no ultimate judgement?

I wanna see Eichenwald use this “logic” to question the truth of the koran.

The most open and sincere public, on-the-street discussion of the Bible I have heard in recent years was between two black guards at the National Archives. I suppose they were on their break , standing in a hallway, poring over a passage in Genesis. I wonder if this makes Eichenwald a racist. The true fear of the leftist elitists is the power of the scriptures to bring people of all ethnicities and stations in life together. All he can do is mock and whine about it.

Just a reminder:

The first lie told on earth was a lie about the Word of God.
