241 | Does the OT apply to us as christians? | Bible general Archive 2 | flinkywood | 118470 | ||
Rowdy, you might be confusing the OT with the cermonial laws imposed after the apostasy of the golden calf (circumscision, feast days, animal sacrifice, etc.); otherwise, I can't make sense of your assertion that the OT lacks "authority" over us as Christians. 1) Could you please explain (succinctly) what you mean by "authority"? Nearly one-half of all Paul's OT citations are in Romans, and nearly one-half of these deployed authoritatively in Romans 9-11. 2) Can you imagine Paul agreeing with you about the "authority" of the OT? 3) Have you read the OT completely, by the way?

Hank, it's late, I'm in a tax quagmire, seeing quadruple, and reading your post for comic relief. Your personal translation evolution is a neat, sweet treatise on the whole kit-and-kaboodle. I like that you like the NASB; I like liking it myself. I'm in it all the time. Trustworthy, you bet; I even like the warty awkwardness of it, the way it bangs resolutely down the pitch, cleats and all, clawing it's way through the Psalms, teeth clenched, snorting and groaning, kicking up the mud and grit, aching for the goalpost. It ain't no sissy translation! Man, I gotta get some shuteye Colin |

EdB, Cheap is good! In tape 1 Hahn briefly summarizes the shaky state of NT scholarship around Romans 9-11 by citing "expert" opinion ranging from Pauls' being "confused", to his being more "emotional" than "rational" to the exatent that his argument simply falls apart in a maze of OT citations, etc. The impression I get is that most modern scholarship has been either clueless or exasperated by this intensely labyrinthine passage in Romans. Hahn says he gained insight into he believes is Paul's underlying argument while reading from the early church fathers. Paul, Hahn discovers, far from being confused or irrational, is a genius of OT scripture, which he "deploys" with strategic and forensic brilliance within this particular passage. These tapes really opned up my mind to the bible. The study is way in-depth and more than worth the loot. I'm listening to it again this week. Colin |

Christian doctrine it is, EdB. Have you heard of the Catholic Theologian, Scott Hahn? Emmaus turned me on to him. Colin |

252 | Do we have to earn grace? | Gal 2:21 | flinkywood | 118250 | ||
EdB, Yours is an almost Catholic analysis, by my reading. This from a second-hand Catechism of the Catholic Church I picked up recently. 2005: "Since it belongs to the supernatural order, grace escapes our experience and cannot be known except by faith. We cannot therefore rely on our feelings or our works to conclude that we are justified and saved. However, according to the Lord's words - "Thus you will know them by their fruits" (Matt 7:20) - reflection on God's blessings in our life and in the lives of the saints offers us a guarantee that grace is at work in us and spurs us on to an ever greater faith and an attitude of trustful poverty."

Hank, Yes, it fulfills the forum's purpose, which ideally should be to educate and mutually encourage through objective, reasoned argument founded in the verity and deity of Christ (1 Cor 3:11). From Webster's 1828 dictionary: Objective: "2) Belonging to the object; contained in the object. Objective certainty, is when the proposition is certainly true in itself; and subjective, when we are certain of the truth of it. The one is in things, the other in our minds." Argument: "1) In logic, an inference drawn from premises, which are indisputable, or at least of probable truth." "Study to show thyself approved unto God..." (2 Tim 2:15) KJV Approved: "4) To make or show to be worthy of approbation; to commend. 'Jesus, a man approved of God.' Acts 2. "This word seems to include the idea of Christ's real office as the Messiah, and of God's love and approbation of him in that character." What I hate to see on this forum is someone defending his perfect "argument" by pointing out his challenger's lack of Christian love. I wish that ugly little harpie would disappear from this place forever. "Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification." (Rom 15:2) KJV N'est pas, monsieur Hank? Colin |

Rowdy, I can tell you're fired up for the word, and that's way cool in my book, brother. I've learned a load from posting on this forum. It'll happen to you too, guaranteed. Attack those cross references! As my Bible teaching friend Hugh used to say: "Dig!" I'll look at your "challenges" later on, okay? Colin |

Custard, I think you're onto it, though what Jesus thought and felt in those hours is way, way beyond me. What an amazing man He was. I'm also amazed by what He tells His sleeping beauties, the disciples: "...the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Mat 26:41). I think of this, perhaps incorrectly, as insight into His own conflict. Colin |

Rowdy, No, the bible is not clear on every point, but your "answers", often abound in speculation which is not carefully vetted with cross references. Because the bible is not always literally explicit, we are obliged to dig (2 Tim 2:15). You should be aware, for instance, that Jesus' words come from Psalm 22:1. Can you think of any instance in Jesus' ministry when he takes OT scripture out of OT context? What is the theme of Psalm 22? In light of that Psalm, and in context of that moment on Calvary, why did Jesus choose to speak verse 1? The other stuff from your post in question goes beyond conjecture into the realm of imagination. Colin |

Emmaus, Great post. I knew you'd come through. Did you notice that that Pharisees, scribes and other nasties also utter the prophetic words of Psalm 22:8 (unwittingly or otherwise) in Matthew 27.43? "'HE TRUSTS IN GOD; LET GOD RESCUE Him now, IF HE DELIGHTS IN HIM; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.'" Only a short time later Jesus cried out verse 1. What amazing presence of mind He had. I wonder what impact His chosen words had on those ears? Colin |

Emmaus, It seems that, "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" (Matt 27.46; Mark 15.24) can be interpreted to mean that God actually forsook His Son. What do you make of Jesus' words here? Colin |
