I define 'Ole Wives Tales,' as a belief or practice that is not completely supported by the bible. Have you ever heard someone say: 'I don’t care what the bible says; I know what I’ve been taught?' If so, you were a witness to an 'Ole Wives Tale' in action. I used the word 'completely' in the first sentence because most of the ole tales rely on excerpts from scripture to support their conclusions. Jesus taught us that the whole bible must be merged into a consensus about any subject that is taught. He illustrated that when He was being tempted by Satan and also when He exchanged views with the Chief Priests and their lawyers. In each of those examples Jesus answered their quoting of scripture by declaring 'Have you not also heard' and went on to quote other scripture that constructed a completely different (consolidated) conclusion. He taught us one can’t pick and choose 'stand-alone' excerpts from the bible without verifying them with the balance and consensus of everything else taught about the same subject. Not to believe that is to endorse another 'Ole Wives Tale.'

    There is a 'Paul Factor' cloud that hovers over the New Testament that deserves at least a conversation. Paul’s 'conversion' to Christianity occurred 37 years after Jesus’ death and resurrection and although Paul never met Jesus in person, he nevertheless went on to personally define Jesus and Christianity for most of the Christian world. On one occasion Paul 'made no bones' ab...

  • A View from the Pew
    Forrest Davis
    The underlying thesis of 'A View From The Pew' deals with the institution’s presentation of a god that micro-manages one’s life versus a god that allows a person more personal choices, along with personal responsibility. The institution assumes the role of God’s representative to the congregation and teaches them on a subject by subject basis to live and manifest their Christia...
  • A View from the Pew

    There surely must be a thesis out there that deals with the distinguishing differences that often exist between the Church and its attached Institutions, but I haven’t found it. I am attempting to do just that, because I have come to believe that the Church and its accompanying institution are obviously not always the same. Any such critique is probably not wanted by most indiv...
