Welcome to Valradica.com

This website is devoted to ideas. Most of them are mine, but I do not mind sharing the space with other authors whose ideas are worth considering. I will confess that most of this is opinion, but it is opinion based on much thought and study. You are free to disagree by offering well thought out, scripturally based dissenting opinions or arguments and I will consider them as valid as are mine, though I reserve the right to continue to disagree.

There is no glitz here, just content. That is deliberate. There is little here to distract you except content, which, it is my hope, will be intriguing and challenging. The thoughts herein are presented roughly in the order that I added them to the site with a date and revision, since I always reserve the right to change what I have written based on clearer thinking.

HERMENEUTICS – This link explains “how I got there” on all the rest of my stuff published in these linked pages. Most of what I have written here is based on a hermeneutic (how I read the Bible) that has developed over many years, and I have tried to write it down as an exercise for three purposes:

  1. To clearly understand and visualize why I think the way I do.

  2. To clearly communicate to others why I think the way I do.

  3. To encourage others to write out a similar document for themselves. If you have never tried to do this, you should. I reserve the right to not answer someone who has not first read what I have written and has not written out for themselves their own hermeneutic. If you cannot clearly state how you arrived at your conclusions, then take some time to think about it until you can. It is not as easy as it seems.

OPINIONS - Everything not in scripture the way it is written in scripture, is by nature, an opinion. I have a whole page devoted to my opinions about lots of things. Feel fee visit my opinion page, but this is not for the timid.

BOOKS I HAVE READ (OR WRITTEN) – Books that I think are good and some maybe not so good.

LUNCH WITH HERM AND EUTYCHUS – A bit of fiction to make you think a bit more.

PARABLES – Parables are wonderful things because I don't have to explain them. He who has ears, let him hear.

RANDOM THOUGHTS ... (blog, sorta) – Events, episodes and reflections on daily living in a not so organized document – the big thoughts I have put on my opinions page.
