ESV Bible Interview: What about the Textus Receptus?
Thursday, June 23rd, 2005An intersting question was addressed by the ESV translation oversight committee today.
How did you determine the Greek text used for translation—did the Textus Receptus play any role?
The answer is pretty simple:
In almost every case, we used the standard critical text used in scholarship today, represented by the United Bible Society’s Nestle-Aland people. And so we […]
ESV Bible Interview: Footnoted verses?
Monday, June 20th, 2005Another good Q/A from the ESV Bible Translastion Oversite Committee Interview, on the subject of Footnoted Verses
There are several places where “extra” verses are placed in the footnotes, e.g., Matthew 12:47, and others like Mark 16 where the “extra” verses are bracketed out but in the main text. How did you make decisions like that […]
New banner: refresh
Monday, June 20th, 2005Please refresh this Web site.
Do you like the new banner?
Nancy was informing me that The Last Samurai one was getting old. That and Batman Begins has unseated it as my inspirational/warrior movie for now.
I hope I don’t get sued.
Youth Ministry for Big People
Friday, June 17th, 2005I’m becoming increasinly convinced that the way to reach the emerging generation is to have a vibrant inter-generational ministry, that is focused on reaching the emerging generation (rather than catering to the desires of the older generation.)
I read this great article called “A Mad Multi-gen Strategy that Works, Dude: Bring generations together and reduce 20-something […]
Review: Batman Begins
Thursday, June 16th, 2005Not so much a review, as an excited rave… but:
In short, it was better than Star Wars. That’s right, better than Star Wars.
I’m a humongous Batman fanatic. The first (Michael Keaton/Jack Nicholsen/Tim Burton) Batman movie is still in my top 10 favorite movies of all time, (though this one may just have replaced […]
Does doctrine of tranlators affect the translation?
Wednesday, June 15th, 2005The first in a series of questions being asked to the ESV translation oversight committee has been posted on Adrian Warnock’s blog today.
The following questions was asked to the committee.
It is of note that the group of scholars who wrote the ESV include some great giants of evangelicalism. I wonder how important to […]
Did you miss us?
Wednesday, June 15th, 2005Well, PlanetRock and Wombat (aka, the notourhome.com server, which also hosts this site, and the Borseth’s site, and Z37, and a myriad of other sites) are finally both back online after being hacked to pieces.
Interesting that in the last two months, every server that I deal with on a regular basis have been hacked […]
Robophobe
Friday, June 10th, 2005After several random links to robot news stories (there seems to be a lot of them lately, and they are increasing in frequency), I came up with what I believed was an original new word, hoping that I’d coined what someday soon will be a famous, commonly used word.
Robophobe
Unfortunately, it looks like it’s already […]
Tony got hacked
Wednesday, June 8th, 2005This affects PlanetRockISU. (it will be down).
An announcement from his Web site that may not stay up for long:
Hacked.
:(
Apparently, this computer has gotten hacked and is now serving more data than any other computer on ISU’s entire network.
Since I won’t get a chance to rebuild the machine until Monday, that means I need to […]
Ready for fall?
Tuesday, June 7th, 2005Well, here ’tis…June 7. Tomorrow is my last day of school. Yowsers! It’s been kind of crazy…finishing up things at school while most everyone one else is in the full summer swing of things. However, tonight was different.
First of all, I got a random call from a […]

Random Web Site-ings
Saturday, June 4th, 2005You may have already noticed the new section on my sidebar: “Random Web Site-ings”. Basically, I abandoned the idea in my last post about using the bloglines blog for quick little links, and went with del.icio.us instead. Much more effective way of delivering the content.
Basically, I will post humorous/useful/interesting articles here that don’t […]
Bloglines Blog
Thursday, June 2nd, 2005Bloglines is an incredibly handy resource. For the technologically inept (or just the disinterested) it is like a customizable PlanetRock, where you get to choose the RSS feeds that are subscribed in it.
I am subscribed to 196 feeds. I see most of the news that crosses the internet, as well as a lot […]
Emerging Hope: Jimmy Long
Wednesday, June 1st, 2005Several Rock leaders have been reading Emerging Hope by Jimmy Long. It is a book about the “Emerging Culture” (Generation X and the Millennial Generation (Gen Y)). The book describes the characteristics of these two postmodern generations, and the cultural events that contributed to their advent. The book also proposes that not […]
