The Fshbwl

Ask a simple question, and get a tangent filled complex answer ... that's how it works on TheSwim. This week, Joe and Ryan take a basic question about healing and a verse in Mark and turn it into 35 minutes on, among other things, how we got the Bible.

To ink, or not to ink, that is the question! Of course, we couldn't stop at just the tattoo issue, rather we move into other Christian taboos and the whole issue of how we, as Christians, should understand the Levitical Law.

Ed Ross is back at it with a couple of questions with mysterious answers. So is communion like cannibalism? What was the thorn in Paul's flesh? Those are the topics of conversation on this weeks Swim.

This week Rob Feature aka Bob Christenson from Geeks and God and a number of other places joins Joe on the cast. The two discuss how Bob's practice of website development pre-production provides an analogy for exploring Christianity.

The tension in the room was high as Ryan and Joe frantically read their theology books, hoping to find an easier answer to this weeks question. Did they do it? Were they successful?

What on earth is a pew potato and is it okay to be one? This week Ryan and Joe talk about the need for involvement in your local congregation, a new Facebook App for the fshbwl ...

It's another week on the fshbwl, but some things have changed. TheSwim is now on Monday and the front page looks a bit different. Today we'll explain the what and why of what's happened to the site. On a similar yet completely different note ...

I don't know if you caught it this past Sunday, but Joe made a bold claim in passing during the 27-Hour Service. So, not wanting to just leave it out there, this week Joe and Ryan explore the book of Matthew to flesh out the reason behind what Joe said, and they seek to further the discussion on culture, marriage, and natural law.
