A short text about so-called confirmation (it is a few teaching notes, but since someone asked for it I published it anyway): Confirmation–the Baptism of the Holy Spirit Baptism of the Holy Spirit was early established as a necessary step in early Christianity. Later this became so-called confirmation, in the Orthodox Church ‘chrismation’. Already in [...]
Then, again, how can they say that the flesh, which is nourished with the body of the Lord and with His blood, goes to corruption, and does not partake of life? Let them, therefore, either alter their opinion, or cease from offering the things just mentioned. But our opinion is in accordance with the Eucharist, [...]
One of the most liberating and devastating texts you can read. En av de mest befriande och förkrossande texter Du kan läsa: Finney On revival Sv+Eng
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. [...]
(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 [...]
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?

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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
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, [...]
