Married

rumaclean — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 08:18:32 +0000

Thought after speaking to Steve Harding and finding out that he reads this blog every week, or rather for the last 9 months has checked the blog weekly, that I should write something. So in case there are any who read this, our check this blog, and maybe didn’t know before now, myself and Peigi got married on the 22nd July.

Probably the most helpful thing online for reading NT Greek

rumaclean — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 10:39:15 +0000

For those of you who like to read the New Testament in Greek, and haven’t bought a Reader’s edition (words under frequency of 30 footnoted) or would like to access a similar resource online when you can’t carry your NT around or when you have forgotten it this link is for you! It also allows the colourcoding of parts of speech, which is beyond the capability of your Reader’s NT! In fact I haven’t even figured out how to colour code parts of speech in Bibleworks, though I’m sure at least the most up to date version does something along those lines. Perfect for studying when you are away from your Bibleworks machine.

Hmmm

Not sure if I like it because I dislike cats or because I like them deep down

For any budding Latin learners

The National Archives (English) have some wonderful free resources including Latin courses, at beginner and advanced levels. And if you are really into reading the real, old documents they even have free course in paleopgraphy. Not only are these free, they are also very good.

Stòrais ùr – New resources

rumaclean — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 18:14:42 +0000

Tha mi air stòrais-lìn no dhà a chuir air dòigh anns am faodadh ùidh a bhi aig a mhuinntir sin nar measg aig a bheil Gàidhlig neo a tha ag ionnsachadh na Gàidhlig.

1. Proiseact1888 (Am Bìoball (dìreach an Tiomnadh Nuadh an dràsda) ann an cruth dideatach)
2. Sailm Dhaibhidh (Na sailm ann am meatrachd)
3. Riaghailtean Teagaisg Iar-Minsteir (The Westminster Standards) ann an Gàidhlig
4. Diadhachd Gàidhlig – Ceangalan-lìn gu làraich air am bheil stòrais diadhachd ‘s a’ Ghàidhlig

I have made available the above resource websites which may be of interest to those Gaelic speakers amongst us, and those who are learning.

Essential viewing

Watch the documentary film “Expelled” by Ben Stein assessing whether there is freedom of inquiry in the scientific establishment.

A fascinating investigation.

Also on the same site, watch “The Case for Christ“, a film presentation of the journey of investigative journalist Lee Strobel, from atheism to faith in Jesus Christ.
