USA Charlie Kirk - A Witness of Faith & Truth

[MrE]

Your statement above denies the Nicene Creed's portion that states that Jesus Christ is begotten of the Father before all ages; that means that Jesus wasn't just a man who then was filled with the Holy Spirit later on, but that Jesus is God.

There are so many glaring errors with your understanding, that I scarcely know where to begin, but if you would like to have a discussion on the topic of the Nicene Creed, and why I DO accept it-- I'd be happy to dialogue with you and others.

 

[MrE]

Here is some information I found on Wikipedia:

"The Pulpit Commentary is a homiletic commentary on the Bible first published between 1880 and 1919[1] and created under the direction of Rev. Joseph S. Exell and Henry Donald Maurice Spence-Jones. It consists of 23 volumes with 22,000 pages and 95,000 entries, and was written over a 30-year period with 100 contributors..."

But I did it the easy way, I used a online version via "biblehub"

John 18:36 - Jesus Before Pilate

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.

biblehub.com

If you scroll down you will find a lot of useful information and some commentaries

Got it-- thank you. I had never "scrolled down" quite so far, nor dug so deeply and had assumed that "Pulpit Commentary" simply meant something that some preacher had preached from the pulpit. That's actually correct, but the one you reference it seems is specific to a certain time period, from a certain group of preachers.

In a way, it reads like the Jewish Talmud-- which is a collection of teachings about specific scriptures. Teachings, or preachings about scripture. In a nutshell- someone's understanding and interpretation about certain passages. Essentially background info and insights.

 

[Can't think of a name]

"He must have believed" is a bold claim. Claims like that require evidence.

Don't dodge.

Intellectual honesty would require you to admit that you have NO evidence of what Mr Kirk believed in this regard.

Highlighting the word "must" without the surrounding context has no meaning. If my intent in writing those words is to claim or postulate that Charlie Kirk did believe rather than must have believed, you would have a point to make and take me to task rightly so. But since, as I have already pointed out, I used the words "must have believed" etc., your approach towards me seems quite antagonistic. I don't think I have to explain Orthodox Christian beliefs on a Christian webforum. I think it goes without saying that asking me to give you some quotation of Kirk saying something is evidence to back up a positive statement of claim I made, when I did no such thing, is asking too much.

I have no idea what your comment about your personal experience has to do with any of this. If your personal experience has told you that Jesus is God where the distinction between God and Jesus is non-existent, and cannot be found in the Bible, I would question your personal experience.

Were there any topics you disagreed with Kirk on? Any topics at all? Just curious.

I can't recall any offhand; I do remember him stating very clearly that he worshiped the seventh-day Sabbath.

That shocked me because, as far as anyone knew, he wasn't a Seventh-Day Adventist (or any other Seventh-Day Sabbatarian denomination) but to hear him say that? Yeah, it definitely made people go "What?"

It's fairly clear what the bible says, and that's essentially what Charlie Kirk was about.

His unique style of going into masses and preaching the gospel. If you've ever seen the TV show: The Way of the Master, it was exactly that style. Bringing up common events as a starting point; then moving to Heaven and hell, and whether a person is good enough to go. Using the 10 Commandments as a reference, illustrating the need for a Savior after each person fails the 10 Commandments test.

I don't remember hearing about Charlie and how effective he, and Turning Point were in the Trump presidential campaign. It was mentioned with accolades the amount of young people he and Turning Point USA were able to contact and convert to Trump voters right after the election. Laura Trump mentioned their performance that essentially changed the young vote in favor of Donald Trump. The big question going into the election was: Who has the ability to reach this young untapped voter block? Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA is the proven answer!
