And when he attempted to speak in the Hebrew tongue unto them, they silenced him, that he might say nothing further, for he vocalized badly. – (not Acts 2:22) No.  I really don’t hate it.  It makes things more interesting.  What I’m referring to is John Hobbin’s recent suggestion that bibliobloggers be divided into categories [...]

new policy for this blog

By mitchell b powell | Published: 1813, 9th January, 2010
All scripture is given by divine inspiration, and is profitable for doctrinal controversies, for reproof of political enemies, for correction of those who see not things as dost thou, for instruction in making others attain unto thine own man-made standard of righteousness, that the polemic disputer of this age may be perfect, thoroughly furnished with [...]

howdy, folks

I’ve been offered the opportunity by Joel Watts to write a brief post of introduction to my blog.  Thanks, Joel.  I’ve already attempted that from the about this blog angle and the assumptions (?) angle, so at the risk of boring people I’ll write briefly from a “Who I am” angle.

a fresh start

By mitchell b powell | Published: 0637, 6th December, 2009
