Hola!

I am having a bit of a problem producing my media, which includes posting here on this blog. Two problems actually. Problem one is my lack of time due to my gig as E-commerce Director at Certified Golf. Problem two is a bit more insidious. I want to stop producing media more skewed to the secular world, while not making preachy and non inclusive, non entertaining content.

My role models in this are Theodore Beale, C.S. Lewis, and J, R. Tolkien. Beale’s books, both as Vox Day and his given name, are fearless, fun, and can be entertaining to those of faith or those not of the Faith. I first read his work while away from the Faith myself.

Lewis and Tolkien produced allegorical works that are also enjoyed by the Faithful and Faithless alike.

I love reading Vox Day. He is actually the blueprint on which all Jesus Pirates should be built. He is a true believer, is never timid about sharing his views, and he writes kickass fantasy and non-fiction, Christian based and non-Christian based, books. (yes, I wrote kickass, it is my soul and my business to take care of it. At least I am not a hypocrite )

Looking back on the mini-controversy posed here about arguing the Faith, which brought up the existence of proof, I give you a link to Vox’s latest post on evidence. I hope you enjoy reading this take. If you do, why not subscribe to Vox’s blog. You will get his usually on target insight into politics, Faith, economics, and even football.

It is always a good read.

Cheers,

Eban

To find some of Vox’s books, look under his real name, Theodore Beale. Vox was also part of the 90’s musical Duo known as Psykosonic.

Sometimes it seems like people go out of their way to argue, even in the church. I recently saw a disagreement over Bible translations. It is so good that we have all these things to argue about. I mean, it’s not like we have to build our relationships with Christ, show others the power of faith, and take care of our worldly responsibilities as well, right?

Okay, that may have been a bit dramatic.

The truth is, there are some Bible translations that are better than others. Most people choose their personal bible because of the church they attend. I don’t mean to say that some thought, serious thought at that, should not be given to choosing your Bible.

I instead mean that all versions have strengths and weaknesses. Also, looking at our society today, some of the weaker translations may have a place.

Just check out the video to see what I am getting at.
