Doctrines of OBC
By Joe FelimThere are three points of doctrine that immediately strike the eye when examining the statement of faith at the website of The Online Bible College.
First, it says that justification is through faith (”by simply believing”) PLUS something else: “acting out that faith through receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.” This is not “faith alone.” It is faith PLUS an action on your part. The statement also speaks the language of decision theology.
Second, under “Water Baptism” the website teaches contrary to what Paul writes in Romans 6:4 - “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Paul is speaking of a real event, something that actually happened to us in and through Baptism. The website says that “baptism is SYMBOLIC (emphasis added) of our death, burial, and resurrection with the Lord Jesus Christ….”
Third, the website speaks of the Lord’s Supper as an ordinance we should celebrate, but says nothing about what we receive in the Supper or how this Supper profits us.
An observation: We have never found a nondenominational ministry that does not make similar statements regarding the sacraments and very few that have not included some kind of “decision theology” in their statements on justification.
A recommendation: Go to the WELS website. Click “Faith.” Click “Bible.” Click “Bible Studies.” Click “Bible Study Basics” and/or “Explore the Bible.” Discontinue the course that will not build up and could well weaken your Lutheran convictions.

Bible Software on Ubuntu Linux
By Joe FelimAs a Christian I am keenly interested in software that can help when studying the Bible. Coming from the Mac OS where there are no good Bible software offerings anything would be a blessing. So, for all you fellow Ubuntu-using Christians here is what I found GnomeSword 2 is the only Gnome-native app of the bunch (I am running Ubuntu 8.04 with the Gnome desktop). It is based on Crosswire’s Sword project.
Overall this is a great Bible study application. While it is very simple, lacking many of the features of the more advanced apps (like Sword Searcher and e-Sword discussed below), there are a few things that Gnome Sword excels at. It integrates into the default Ubuntu desktop very well. Navigating to new books and chapters is very easy. The text of each chapter is displayed in a clean font. But what it really excels at is finding and adding new Bible texts (or any text.) It has a very simple method of connecting to Crosswire’s remote server, allowing you to browse all available translations in any language. When you have checked all the texts you want it downloads and installs them in one fell swoop. Here is a screen shot of the Module Manager.
Like GnomeSword, BibleTime is based on the sword project. It it very similar to GnomeSword with one very obvious exception-it is written for the K desktop environment.
It has one very fun feature that sets it apart. After searching for a word in the Bible you can press the “analyze” button and see a visualization of that word’s occurrence throughout the books of the Bible. Sweet.
