    Discussion of a Foundational "Evangelical" Teaching

    I wouldn't now - I grew up atheist... If true, they taught wrongly then... They may or may not be teaching right today... Kids are killing kids in public schools today... I would rather send my kid to a private school... Or school him or her at home... But carrying those wounds on one's...

    Discussion of a Foundational "Evangelical" Teaching

    "Yup, you're absolutely right - Jesus is the Savior and NOT me..." Were I asked such a question, By Rev. Dr. James Kennedy, PhD... I would have to answer: "God will judge this sinner..." Of course, that is not how it works - For Salvation is in THIS life NOW, and NOT YET in the Life of the...

    Salvation

    Paul also writes what Salvation looks like from this high perspective: 1Co 4:9-16 For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise...

    Salvation

    OK - Back on topic... One of the justifications for Salvation by Grace that Paul noted was "...Not by the works of the Law, lest anyone should boast..." Literally: "Not out of works, lest any should boast." The first time I read this, I wondered at it, because I thought no one could ever...

    God Bless ALL the Baptists! Now and Ever... And unto the Ages of Ages! Amen Did your "s" key stop working when you type Arsenio rather than Arsenios? Had to do my second correction of your post... Might even be against the rules for me to do so... You don't want me to break the rules, do ya...

    Discussion of a Foundational "Evangelical" Teaching

    I have yet to find even one Christian who proclaims: "Jesus is NOT the Savior"... The big difference between some of us and some of you is our relative underestandings of the MEANS that Christ uses to save us... Ever read: "Ask, and ye shall receive..." Some of us ask for Salvation daily...

    He became an Episkopos who served in Crete, as I recall... Does that count? Arsenios

    Discussion of a Foundational "Evangelical" Teaching

    He went on to die again - Became a Bishop [Episkopos] on Crete, as I recall, and because of what he had seen in hell for those 4 days, he almost never smiled again... I think he reposed in old age, and was not martyred... You are right that this was a healing from death itself, and as such it...

    Discussion of a Foundational "Evangelical" Teaching

    God is ALWAYS giving us what we need... That we should attain more that we need... Can't just bury your talent in the dirt... Or what we think we have will be taken from us... And given to one more deserving... Arsenios

    Discussion of a Foundational "Evangelical" Teaching

    This is not the story of Salvation in Christ but is one of the resuscitation of a corpse, which was a pre-figuring of the Resurrection of Christ... The premise that we who are walking about are in the same state and condition as dead and stinking Lazarus in the tomb is just plain false...

    Disagree - God is ALWAYS giving us what we need... Arsenios

    Salvation

    We, this is the big "I don't know" I was teling you about... John Gill does not encompass the time frame that Jesus bracketed by the two events, with the second being contemporary with those with whom He was speaking... The keyword is "ALL the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the...

    Salvation

    The New Testament was written by members of the Church, the Body of Christ, Who is Her Head... It is not even up for debate... Exacty right, and they were members of the Church which incuded their writings in the Canon of Scripture in the 4th Century after using them from the beginnings as...

    Salvation

    Name ONE other and prove it by the Bible... Sheer speculation on YOUR part... He did not NEED to do so... BECAUSE... He was talking to his murderers... They ALREADY KNEW, you see... I mean, really, Menno - How could they NOT know?? Hhhhmmmmm??? I will now speculate that it would do...

    Salvation

    Actually, this understanding is affirmed in the Church from the beginnings... And it is not contradicted by the Bible which the Church wrote... It is YOU who are speculating that it is NOT the father of John the Baptist... It does, I must admit, help one be an ANTI-Latin Christian... Arsenios

    That is where he SERVED God, my Brother... He was THE High Priest of the Temple and the Altar... Arsenios

    Salvation

    Your confession has been noted... :) But fear not, my Brother! I DO have responsibility! :) The prolem with your theory is that Christ named the time of the Zachariah whose blood cried out from the stones of the Way between the Temple and the Altar... This was not just SOME random old...

    Salvation

    I have a feeling that you desperately want me to be wrong... But in order to prove your desire, my brother... You must identify this Zachariah as not being Elizabeth's husband... And this you cannot do... All you can truthfully say is: "I don't know..." Arsenios

    Salvation

    That Zacharia, son of Barekiah, is the father of John the Baptist, and husband of Elizabeth, whom the Mother of Jesus met with, just after she had conceived Christ in her womb, and Elizabeth was 6 months pregnant with John the Baptist in her womb... He was killed between the Altar and the...

    Salvation

    Well at least it makes sense now... Nobody said we had to... That's right, and they were looking for Him! Have you read the Life of John the Baptist? Christ spoke of the death of his father, Zacharias, in His condemnation of the Jews, whose blood they spilled murdering him on the steps...
