    Now, For Something Completely Different

    Jesus seemed fairly accurate about doctrine he got angry at the Pharisees for distorting doctrine and he completely refuted the errors of the Sadducees so it looks like Jesus would be pleased to see Christians caring about accuracy in teaching. The truth really does matter.

    Proof texting

    Nope. YOU is plural and means you-all. Thee is singular you and means you-individually. No need to make it into more than it is. The passage uses plural YOU and that affects its application and meaning. It isn't a good move to take it as meaning you-individually when it is you-all. So the...

    Sadness and Christ.

    I own a book called The Sadness of Christ written by saint Thomas More. It is not long. I think it is unfinished. He was beheaded before he finished writing it. Henry VIII had him beheaded for treason because he would not say that Anne Boleyn was lawfully married to the king. “In darkness be...

    Would you name your kid "stupid", "dimwitted", "vain", "selfish" or "slow"?

    There is a book by Thomas More that you might like, it is called The Sadness of Christ.

    Would you name your kid "stupid", "dimwitted", "vain", "selfish" or "slow"?

    Yes, but the implication in the commentary that I referenced is that Narcissus might not be a Christian while some of his household were Christians.

    Would you name your kid "stupid", "dimwitted", "vain", "selfish" or "slow"?

    You're right, it seems like a bad name for a child. But maybe the Greek myth was not well known in his part of the world? Romans 16:11 Greetings to Herodion, a fellow Jew, and to the Christians in the family of Narcissus. [Cambridge] Romans 16:11 Herodion my kinsman] See on Rom 16:7. The...

    Do you have a theological motive for that?

    Among Greek speaking people wasn't Narcissus a character from myth who was so good looking that he fell in love with himself while seeing his reflection in the water? In Greek mythology, Narcissus (/nɑːrˈsɪsəs/; Greek: Νάρκισσος, Nárkissos) was a hunter from Thespiae in Boeotia who was known...

    I have at times wondered if Judas had communion on the night of Jesus betrayal or if he was already gone when the body and blood of the Lord was given at the supper.

    Martin Luther: The Man Who Rediscovered God and Changed the World, by Eric Metaxas

    A good Merlot is nice with lunch on a hot summer's day. We usually chill it here in summer. Leaving it at room temperature might mean it is as warm as blood :scared:

    Born of water and the Spirit.

    There is plenty of typology in the holy scriptures but isn't it usual that the type is in the old testament and the reality is in the new? I am very sure that "I am telling you the truth," replied Jesus, "that no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit." is in...

    Born of water and the Spirit.

    If the disciples were doing Christian baptisms then the Spirit was there. It is possible that the disciples were doing some other baptisms.

    Born of water and the Spirit.

    Why? Jesus' disciples were already baptising. They were not doing John's work.

    Non denominational churches

    Mostly it looks like non-denominational congregations are break aways from denominations or from other non-denominational congregations but some are missionary efforts by other non-denominational congregations.

    Born of water and the Spirit.

    Jesus did - more or less - say that Nicodemus was kind of stupid for a man who was the teacher of Israel.

    Non denominational churches

    Lutherans are not non-denominational. It seems as if the non-denominational folk are not getting much of a chance to discuss their own movement.
