How Much Do You Have to Hate Someone Not to Proselytize?

Francis Schaeffer on the Origins of Relativism in the Church

Words to Remember

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Wallace on Sinaiticus

I was a little bit surprised by the attention Codex Sinaiticus got in the news last week. It's not, of course, like the contents of Sinaiticus are news to the Christian community. Rather old hat, really, or at least old news. But some took off with it in strange directions.

Dan Wallace, one of the chief people behind the really excellent NET Bible, which you can download, together with the genuinely awesome translator's notes, for free, wrote a short piece on the subject that some may find interesting.

Hat tip to Pros Apologian.

    I just love the idea that they put the thing online for all to see. Everyone knows that the Bible is something that has changed over the years and seeing an early version is great for the historical perspective.
