61 | Luther and Aquinas | Bible general Archive 2 | flinkywood | 142614 | ||
Doc, It was Augustine's, not Aquinas' quotation, so the question should read LUTHER AND AUGUSTINE. My confusion. Where did find Luther's quotation? Also, do you think Luther's doctrine of "election" softened in his later life, that is, did it shift Catholic-ward? Colin |

Nolan, I'm dusting off this old post because I just bought an ESV and am liking it. I began memorizing in the KJV about a year ago but fell away from that and into the NASB, where there are many great things happening, but not always musically enough to induce me to memorize from it, especially in the poetical chapters. Now comes the ESV, and if I hold these two up to the light of the Psalms or Songs, the NASB comes in second. The ESV sounds more fluid, lyrical, economical, which is why I haven't yet wanted to commit any NASB Psalms or songs to memory. On the other hand, I've not yet decided to memorize in the ESV either; it's too new, and many of it's syntactical innovations (1 Cor 10.13, for ex.) are a bit jarring to my ear. I'd like to pick one version and stick to it, as an old hand bible scholar friend once advised, and that version is slowly becoming the NASB, if I could just get past the weakness in question. How do you feel about ESV V. NASB Psalms, Songs? Are you tilting towards the ESV, or are you stil an ardent NASB man? Do you still memorize in it? Poetry and all? If not, why? Colin. |

Hank, exactly right, but Christianity is not a religion, Jehovah's Witnesses is. Colin. |

10-4, by definition you're right, and by James' measure of religion: Jam 1:26 "If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless." (NASB), you have biblical support. And Webster: (definition 4) "Any system of faith and worship. In this sense, religion comprehends the belief and worship of pagans and Mohammedans, as well as of christians; any religion consisting in the belief of a superior power or powers governing the world, and in the worship of such power or powers. Thus we speak of the religion of the Turks, of the Hindoos, of the Indians, etc., as well as of the christian religion. We speak of false religion, as well as of true religion." So you can't sever Chritianity, the "Way", from a definition which includes Scientology, Islam, Brahma Koumaris, peyote cults and JWs. I didn't know there was a taboo. I stand corrected, Hank.

Hank, Here's a quotation from "Church History in Plain Language" by Bruce L. Shelly, part of an introduction to an essay on Gnosticism. I thought it might fit hre: "The Event--God in flesh--has always struck man as religious nonsense. History shows how tirelessly man schemes, searching for some substitute explanation." pg 50. Shelley points out the upside of this scheming on the preceding page (49): "Heretics, in fact, served the Church in an unintended way. Their pioneering attempts to state the truth forced the church to shape 'good' theology'--a rounded , systematic statement of biblical revelation." Heretics are still serving the church today, also in unintended ways. Colin |

Hello, Tara. Is Jesus the angel Gabriel? Colin |

Tara, You don't disappoint, but can you explain this? "Who has planned and done it, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I Jehovah am the first and the last; I am He." (ISA 41.4, LITV). "So says Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: I am the First, and I am the Last; and there is no God except Me." (Isa 44.6 LITV) "Listen to Me, O Jacob, and Israel My called: I am He; I am the First; surely I am the Last." (Isa 48.12, LITV). "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, says the Lord, the One who is, and who was, and who is coming, the Almighty." (Rev 1.8, LITV) "And He said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending. To the one thirsting, I will freely give of the fountain of the Water of Life." (Rev 21.6, LITV) "And to the angel of the assembly of Smyrna, write: These things says the First and the Last, Who became dead, and lived:" (Rev 2.8 LITV) Who is this last speaker? Colin |

Ray, I read your posts often. A director friend of mine once said that he learns more from bad theater than good. I feel the same about bad theology. Is it true you are up against an illness? Blessings to you in all cases. Colin |

73 | Is Jesus God? Who is telling the Truth? | OT general | flinkywood | 107277 | ||
Hi, Ray, the LITV is the Literal Translation of the bible by J.P. Green. It’s based on the Textus Receptus. I chose it in my post because it uses name Jehovah in the OT, a format familiar to JW's. The sequence of scripture I cited should lead the reader to an unavoidable conclusion about the speaker in Rev 2.8 and His relationship to God. Colin |

74 | Tara1 - Is Jesus true or false god? | OT general | flinkywood | 107427 | ||
Hello, Mrs. B I'm clipping your post on the true God, false god topic. Terrific. I have a friend who's a JW and locked up tighter than a crypt. All the JW acolytes who arrive in this forum claim 40 bibles in their reference library and end up fading away when pressed theologically. It's too bad, but maybe this place will have done them good.

Suede, have you read the bible? Colin |

76 | why don't people study the old testmant | OT general | flinkywood | 115291 | ||
Suede, In the begining I felt a bit the way you do about the OT, but now I see it is huge. Paul sure thought that way (Romans makes that clear). Also, though in Christ we are not under the Law but under grace, nevertheless Christ's being the fulfilment of the Moral Law does not exempt us from adhering to that Law any more than we are exempted from adhering to Christ. "Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall," is a good maxim in this case. Colin |

Suede, Legalism is a form of fetishism, but the OT faith-giants were as non-legalistic as you could get. I think of David eating the "shewbread" (1 Sam 21.6) as cited also by Jesus (Matt 12.4), in His idictment of Pharisitic legalism. For David the Moral Law (not the Levitical laws) was "...a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105) Colin |

Ischus, Romans 14 expands on Paul's view of feast days and other Levitical legal remants (good cross refernces in Colossians and Ephesians). Colin |

Suede, If a Christian commits murder or adultery or theft or idolatry or violates any of the Moral Laws, would Peter, Paul or James view these acts as a threat to his salvation? Colin |

Suede, God's grace saves, you bet (it saved Saul of Tarsus); but would Paul, James, John or Peter say that a lying, thieving, murderous Christian can enter heaven unrepentant? Colin |
