    Matt 27:50-53

    "All the Jews?" What is so critical about doing that, and what is left undone by him showing himself to (only) hundreds of believers and non-believers over the course of a few weeks?

    Common Figure of Speech?

    I thought it best to settle that part of the issue before moving on to something else. Well, that's your own opinion...and the view of a relatively tiny segment of the Christian churches of history. What's more, you didn't offer us any alternate interpretation of those verses. In addition...

    Did God create knowledge?

    It doesn't really prove the Trinity, though, which is about the nature and identity of the One God we worship. What you are referring to is proving that something or other has three different qualities, or that there are three different items that are in some way related to each other. That's...

    Explain the Trinity to me.

    That's right. Their belief is that Jesus was just an agent of God. That's based upon a very narrow selection of Bible verses, but as you noted, if we instead check with the whole of Scripture, we find that Jesus was acclaimed as God by various people during his life on Earth, and not only did...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    I was speaking to the Jews' understanding of the Apocrypha prior to the coming of Christ. Both before and after the Incarnation, the Jewish community was divided, therefore nothing can be derived from that source which would be compelling when it comes to the possible inclusion of these books...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    No, That's not the case. Not only was that not the Christian litmus test, but it also isn't the case that the Hebrews themselves were agreed on whether those books were inspired or not. I agree to the idea that the Apocryphal books were "included" in the sense of being under the same cover...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    Andrew, you've done well to describe the issue as you have done here... "Included." That's because, in the fourth century, these books were not determined to be part of Holy Scripture. That's what made possible the rejection of these writings by the Protestant reformers during the sixteen...

    Matt 27:50-53

    The Bible states that he was seen by over five hundred people (!) on one occasion between his Resurrection and the Ascension, and we know that he was also seen by others during those weeks.

    Common Figure of Speech?

    Yes, on Friday and Sunday respectively. See Acts of the Apostles 20:7. Also 1 Corinthians 16:2 and 2 Corinthians 9:12.

    Common Figure of Speech?

    Would not the New Testament's recording of the early church's decision to make Sunday the principle day of worship because it was the day of the Lord's Resurrection pretty much settle the matter in all respects? **almost all of Christianity, in other words

    Easter Monday?

    Historically, there have been Bible readings and prayers set aside for worship services on Eastern Monday and also Easter Tuesday. Among Protestants, only the Anglican and Lutheran churches have included them in their prayerbooks in recent years.

    What are your thoughts on the Christus Victor theory of atonement?

    From the discussion you and I had earlier, it appears instead that you were willing to accept basic Christian beliefs so long as you'd already reworked them or reinterpreted them to mean something other than what Christianity believes. When confronted directly concerning the orthodox belief in...

    What are your thoughts on the Christus Victor theory of atonement?

    Hi. There is a point on one of the videos of the "Corner Church" in which he says that it's applying for membership in the Free Methodist Church (of Canada) and the Church of the Nazarene, which apparently were or are about to finalize a merger. Most likely the non-denominational style of the...

    "America" is now offensive to N and S America

    Give it a rest. The cutesy anti-Americanism was not missed.

    What are your thoughts on the Christus Victor theory of atonement?

    In other words, you don't. If you change from the orthodox belief in God to something else and do so from day to day, I'd say that means you don't or cannot accept it...and it doesn't really matter how many days elapse between the one and the other. However, what you've answered does clarify...

    What are your thoughts on the Christus Victor theory of atonement?

    Well, Lucian, right under your picture to the left of these posts you have answered "Yes" to the question "Acceptance of the Trinity & Nicene Creed:" These last few posts of yours have rather effectively rendered that information incorrect. You are concerned about integrity and conscience...

    What are your thoughts on the Christus Victor theory of atonement?

    Those are ideas worth us considering, all right; but OTOH changing your personal data to a "No" answer concerning belief in the Trinity and acceptance of the Nicene Creed would be fairly easy for you to do.

    Should US Presidents have an age limit?

    It's that you want to compare apples and oranges. The situation with the elderly and that of the young are not identical, therefore one size doesn't logically fit all. :)

    What are your thoughts on the Christus Victor theory of atonement?

    Well, the fact is that we can keep them some of the time and to some degree. But that still leaves us as imperfect and therefore unworthy of God. It's done all the time by us in our ordinary lives. But offering alibis for humans who fail God's requirements still doesn't change the fact that...

    What are your thoughts on the Christus Victor theory of atonement?

    God is just. And as concerns us, his creatures, he has laid his law before us. We, however, do not keep his laws. Not consistently and not perfectly. That is why we needed a Savior to do for us what we cannot do. So far as these verses are concerned, we are told that Jesus explained the...
