This Week's White Horse Inn

Abrahamic Faiths

What is the relationship between Christianity and other “Abrahamic faith traditions”? Is Abraham really the father of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, and if so, does this mean that each of these religions are legitimate ways to God? What are we to do with Abraham himself and with the other Old Testament patriarchs? Since they didn’t have explicit faith in Christ, how can Jesus be the only way of salvation? White Horse Inn: know what you believe and why you believe it!

Who Said That?

"My ex-wife is the Antichrist's sister"

Yes, we've had this one before (way back in 2006).  If you remember who said that, don't ruin it for everyone else!  Please, no cheating or google searches.  Have fun with this one!

Update on Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 08:30PM by Kim Riddlebarger

This  quote came from the TV evangelist who prided himself on not being a TV evangelist, the late Gene Scott.  Scott was in the middle of a rant about his ex-wife, who had given an interview to the LA Times about the Scott's former marriage.  This was back in the days when the FCC was threatening to take away Scott's broadcast license.  Scott called his ex the Antichrist's sister and then launched into a tirade the likes of which I have never seen, and which I cannot repeat.

Happy Birthday Old Man!

The old man (Andy) is fourteen today.

He acts like he feels every minute of it.  He doesn't chase cats anymore.  He sleeps all day and snores.  He's very gray in the face, and has old, tired eyes.

But his appetite is still good, he still patrols the yard (although much slower), and still jumps for joy and barks wildly when my wife and sons get home.  I guess he does the same for me too.

Since dogs age about seven-times faster than we do, watching him go from a puppy to an old geezer gives me an interesting perspective on my own life.

My knee hurts today, and I don't even know what I did to it!  In his own way, Andy knows all about it.
