Benny Hinn, ”jag är en ande” och gnosticism

Posted 10 minutes ago @ Anders Gerdmar

Det har med rätta varit diskussion om vissa uttalanden av Benny Hinn på Livets Ord och eftersom det kommit en del kommentarer svarar jag på dessa i ett inlägg. Glädjande nog tycks Hinn vara öppen för att lyssna till kritik. Detta blir mitt sista inlägg i diskussionen.
Hinn använde formuleringen att människan är en ande som [...]

“Nådesförkunnelsen”

June 28th, 2010 @ Anders Gerdmar

Samuel har skrivit en kommentar ang den s k nådesförkunnelsen. Jag har inte så mycket nytt att komma med utöver mina artiklar i Keryx. Men de visar tydligt problemen med densamma. Att Joseph Prince är poppis är inget teologiskt argument. Det kan t ex bara visa att man är mer intresserade av siffror än sanning. [...]

2. Apostolic Christianity and the Early Catholicism model

April 26th, 2010 @ Anders Gerdmar

(Continues the earlier blogpost Apostolic Christianity)
Before presenting my understanding of the DNA of Apostolic Christianity, I will make some qualifications of the concept. As a New Testament exegete, I am well aware of the methodological problems with describing Apostolic Christianity and this will only be a brief sketch, which focuses more on the whole picture [...]

Apostolic Christianity—where to find it

April 23rd, 2010 @ Anders Gerdmar

It was interesting to read Per Johansson’s comment on Apostolic Christianity and would be very interested to study sources to the oral tradition.
Where can we find Apostolic Christianity? It is there in New Testament Christianity, and furthered by Christians throughout history, however preserved to different degree in different churches. The Holy Spirit sent his prophets [...]

Apostolic Christianity

April 20th, 2010 @ Anders Gerdmar

Apostolic Christianity is a notion which is a favourite one to many revivals throughout history, and many a moment wishes to patent it. However, that is really not possible, since Apostolic Christianity is before all the denominations, all the movements, all the specialties which have emerged. I hope to now and then publish parts of [...]

Läs min artikel på Newsmill idag: ”Uppsaladocent: Inrätta en nationell handlingsplan mot antisemitism”

March 7th, 2010 @ Anders Gerdmar

Se hela artikeln på Newsmill. The article is unfortunately only in Swedish. The issue is the growing anti-Semitism in Sweden, especially in our third largest city, Malmö, where 79 anti-Semitic crimes were registered last year. To me this is 79 too many. In Sweden now there is an intensive debate about the major Ilmar Reepalu [...]

Refreshing the background of Aftonbladet’s article

January 18th, 2010 @ Anders Gerdmar

Just to refresh what is the background of Aftonbladet’s article: my article about the age-old conspirational theories of blood-thirsty Jews slaugthering children, Bakgrunden till myten om den blodtörstige juden at Newsmill. Unfortunately only in Swedish… sorry.

Aftonbladet’s deceptions still deceptive

January 17th, 2010 @ Anders Gerdmar

Coming back to Aftonbladet’s infamous article by Daniel Boström, there was an attempt by its cultural editor Åsa Linderborg to close the debate, summarising that Aftonbladet was right and its critics were wrong (En svart paradox. Åsa Linderborg om organstölderna och medlöparna). She suggests that the fact that the Israeli Pathologist Yehuda Hiss admitted to, [...]

Understanding the symbolic world of the scholars

January 10th, 2010 @ Anders Gerdmar

When evaluating the work of a scholarly discipline, understanding the symbolic world—the though world—of the scholars it is necessary to understand the time in which they live. Since my work over the last 8–9 years have been to understand of German exegetes construct Jews and Judaism, I also need to explore their views of ethnicity, [...]

Jesus the Jew

January 1st, 2010 @ Anders Gerdmar

My friend Roar Sørensen has added a comment to some comments on the blog. Thank you! I think it is very important, and today not very controversial, to state that “Jesus fit within the Judaism of his day.” Even though I think this statement should be further qualified, this represents quite a broad consensus. In [...]
