Christopher: Things That Helped Me Study (Entering Judson College, August 2024)

Better version:

Things that helped me study

1. Jordan studied with me
2. Mama turned off Internet  (When older brother got psychosis, 2014)
3. Auditing two courses a semester had little pressure (for several years before entering Judson College)
 4. Loving professors helped me grow. Dr. Williams nurtured my love for comparative linguistics by spending up to an hour with me after each class. Dr. Quarles encouraged me to study text criticism. Dr. Robinson encouraged me in general. Dr. Hardy taught me comparative linguistics. Nathan and Jordan read with me.
5. I got sick with Lyme.
 6. Val helped me with German. Essential for my Ugaritic studies.
7. School let me audit French. Helpful for research.
8. I got accepted into the college when I thought there were too many obstacles to get in.

The Importance of Family

 Family has come under attack, most consistently by the forces of Marxim.   As a  movement , Black Lives Matter has taken that true concept (black lives matter) and twisted it into something completely unbiblical. The organization has recently showed its true colors, openly promoting causes that oppose biblical values. The two co-founders of Black Lives Matter, Patrisse Cullors and Alicia Garza, claim  Marxism  as their ideology: “We actually do have an ideological frame,” Cullors said in an interview, “Myself and Alicia in particular, we’re trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on ideological theories” (quoted in the  Washington Times , “The matter of Marxism: Black Lives Matter is rooted in a soulless ideology,” June 29, 2020).  [Quote:   https://www.gotquestions.org/Marxism-Christian.html ]   From GotQuestions.Org, we read of a Marxist inspired attack on the family, operating subtly through the Bla...

"I Just Wish You Would Respect Me." 2 Kings 5

  9. So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. 13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the fle...

Sun, Love, and God

I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I do not feel like it. I believe in God even when I discover that His judgment allows zero chance for so many of my good friends and loved ones to get into heaven: Those committed to viewing as morally acceptable the celebration of various extra-biblical preferences.  It is sobering to realize that we do not have so much freedom a we may have thought. I had a professor here at the local seminary who said that we may worry that when we are in heaven, we will have our joy tarnished by the understanding that some of our loved ones are not there, but rather are in hell.  He said he believed that a new understanding would arise, to where we fully understand that those in Hell go there freely, in accordance with their most sincere preferences. And they therein belong there, if only because it is the only place of all possible options (two) that they want to be.  Most saliently, they do not want to be ...
