Book Share: “Rescuing the Bible from Frundamentalism

Monday, June 30th, 2008

I had to take a break from all of my reading do focus on school, but some events over the past week have taken that pressure off of me (I may delve into those at a later date, but not now) and I’m again able to spend my free time reading for pleasure. This new [...]

pluralism

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

For starters, I should lay out my beliefs on heaven/hell. I’m not a literal interpretation guy, I don’t think that there is actually a lake of fire that souls will burn in eternal conscious torment.
