Truth Versus Tradition: His Star

Ken Brown | December 12, 2009

The “Star of Bethlehem” could not have been the way it is portrayed in traditional pictures. It could not have been a super brilliant “star” that aimed a beam of laser-like light on the stable in which was the manger where the baby Jesus lay.

Truth Versus Tradition: Joseph and Mary on Their Way to Bethlehem

Ken Brown | December 8, 2009

I was embarrassed a few days ago to realize I had accepted as truth a certain matter of tradition. Oh well, it happens to all of us, I guess. It shouldn’t, but it does. If we are to believe the truth and only the truth, we must be ever vigilant.

Truth Versus Tradition: Were Joseph and Mary Poor?

Ken Brown | December 4, 2009

Tradition can be a subtle thing. We grow up believing something about a Biblical doctrine or event. It might never even occur to us to question where some particular belief came from, especially if that belief happens to be regarding some relatively minor point. I think the financial status of Joseph and Mary is a matter like that for many Christians.

It is a commonly held belief that the mother and “stepfather” of our Lord Jesus Christ were poor, but where does this belief come from?

Creation, Science, and Genesis 1

Ken Brown | November 27, 2009

I was at a wedding reception not long ago, seated next to a man I had not previously met. We exchanged the usual small talk. I learned that he was a retired eighth-grade science teacher. The conversation was pleasant enough until he learned that I am a Bible-believing Christian. Then he launched into an all-out assault. “How can you possibly believe Genesis?” He went on and on about evolution, endeavoring to make a mockery of God’s Word. It takes hundreds of thousands of years for the light from such and such a star to reach the earth. How could God have created the universe only about six thousand years ago? He referred to the Bible as a practical joke.

Romans 13 and Civil Disobedience

Ken Brown | November 14, 2009

The thirteenth chapter of Romans has been erroneously used to proclaim that all disobedience of one’s government is categorically immoral, contrary to God’s Word, the Bible. Many Bible versions even translate the early verses of this chapter in a manner that clearly conveys this message.

The New Wine of Acts 2:13

Ken Brown | November 8, 2009

This is in response to a question that came up. What is the “new wine” of Acts 2:13? The record could have just said “wine.” What is the meaning and significance of “new wine?”

Luke 15 and the Prodigal Son

Ken Brown | October 24, 2009

The parables of the Gospels are interesting from a number of perspectives. Many people have lauded the brilliance of the parables in so clearly and convincingly communicating Jesus’ message in a way easily related to by the masses. I have no doubt that Jesus used parables at times to communicate clearly, though the only recorded time he was ever asked about his purpose for using parables, his response was quite different.
