Dee Parsons of Wartburg Watch: The Personification of Everything Wrong with Church
When Paul’s Passing Thoughts .com was started in 2009, the goal was to find out why church turned on me with a vengeance despite my best efforts. Second to that was the question, “What now, where does one go from the point of diagnosing the problem?” You have to properly diagnose the problem before you can fix it.
This article will not wear you out with points leading up to a final conclusion; I…
Why Are You “Dissing” the Church?
Why Are You “Dissing” the Church?
Leaving the institutional church has been one of the best decisions our family has made. Granted, there are the social aspects that we miss (my wife especially, she’s a people person), but it doesn’t take much searching to admit that real friendships have to based on more than just a weekly formal gathering. Want to know who your real friends are? Just try leaving your church for whatever reason.…

The Potter’s House: Romans 15:1-14; Points About Authority and the One Body of Jews and Gentiles
We are finally back to our study in the book of Romans. We have the last two chapters left, and this morning we resume at verse one in chapter 15. The first eleven chapters are a heavy dose of justification, and what we have learned from them has radically…
Another Church Contra Gospel: Family Disunity
Another Church Contra Gospel: Family Disunity
A major theme in the Bible is unity. The Bible teaches us to be one and to be at peace with our enemies as much as it depends on us. As literal children of God, the Bible teaches us that God’s family is one body in Christ. We strive for unity by learning more and more about who we are in Christ together. Hence, the focus must be to discover our “one mind in Christ” and its objective truth.

What is Love?
“Love (agape) suffereth long, and is kind; love (agape) envieth not; love (agape) vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love (agape) never faileth:”
~ 1 Corinthians…
Home Fellowship Unity and the Dead Horse of Repentance
Home Fellowship Unity and the Dead Horse of Repentance
With all the oceans of ink expended by Protestant hacks, no study has been done on the definitions of all biblical definitions concerning the Bible’s defining of itself. That is part of the vast uncharted frontier of truth in the present Protestant Dark Age. This will be undertaken by a layman if it happens at all because such a study would undermine Protestant orthodoxy. Nevertheless, these…

Scandalous Email Exposed: True Christians Don’t Sin; The Gospel is Not a Cover-up
People who truly love truth are rare. Truth-loving is the basis for all unity. The day I met Susan I perceived that she is a sincere truth-lover and therefore knew she was the one. Love of truth is the unity guarantee. A marriage between two truth-lovers will endure all things.
And, truth-lovers can be persuaded with facts.
Scandalous emails are trending, especially in politics. The following is…
Identifying the Symptom but Missing the Cause.
Steve Deace is a contributor to Glenn Beck’s “Blaze Media” group. Like too many conservatives, he properly identifies the symptom but fails to understand the problem. If one believes that man is “totally depraved”, then it stands to reason that one believes man must be compelled to take action for good. When a politician or pastor (same thing) speaks, never listen to what they say. Pay attention…
