Concerning Romans chapter 7, I read a paper that states that the person described in Romans chapter 7 was someone who was not 'born again' (Saul of Tarsus). That this interpretation existed until the time of Augustine, and Augustine was the person who introduced the interpretation that the person in Chapter 7 was a 'born again' christian (Paul). To me chapter 7 describes some one who is not born again 'Spirit Led'. Could you tell me- What is the date that Augustine's view started. What christian writings prior to the above date supported that view, what writings disagreed with that view, their origin, either Greece or Rome etc. And the date that they were written. Paul either referred Chapter 7 to himself as Paul or Saul and as such would of taught his pupils this, I am looking to see if there exists an unbroken teaching on Chapter 7 from the time the book was written and till 380?AD. Since there would of been approximately 4 generations removed from Paul to Augustine, to me if the view that Chapter 7 (relating to Paul and not Saul) was the correct one, then because of the short time (4 generations) the correction would of been made by someone who was taught by Paul, himself. Also on this matter, could you tell me if there exists a direct line of teaching between Paul and Augustine, for e.g. the person who taught Augustine was himself, taught by someone who was taught by someone who was taught by Paul. Concerning 1 John Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 In 1Jo 1:4; John states 'We are writing' and in 1 Jo 2:1 it states 'I am writing'. John himself included these 2 lines in his writings. One must ask himself, why would John state that 'we are writing' and 'I am writing', it could only be to show a separation or division or distinction between those 2 chapters. Take for example yourself, say you are married with a son. You send your son a letter of 2 pages. On the first page you write 'we are writing' obviously you probably mean yourself and your wife, on the second page you put 'I am writing' you use this phrase to show your son that even though the letter is 1, it exists as 2 separate parts. Could you tell me if there ever existed the view that 1Jo Chapter 1 was separate from Chapter 2, the date that view existed from, the origin of that view, and the date that any opposite view (the interpretation that 1Jo 2:1 is a continuation of 1 Jo 1:1) existed from, and again the origin of that view, and the persons teaching that view. |

Hi Leslie N, Your question is so long it would take a whole volume on Christian Apologetics to answer it. Try breaking you question down to about one or two at the most topics and you might have better results! I noticed in your personal profile the following statement, “To be a christian I actually gave away all I possessed” How, if I may ask, does one become a Christian by giving stuff away; that’s a new one on me? Wouldn’t that kind of be like works? Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings Leslie N, What is it exactly that you believed would happen when you forsook everything according to Luke 14:33 and what makes you different? It looks like you must have made some additional purchases after the forsaking, since you are posting on the Web on this forum with some sort of material goods? I guess the big question is have you come to the place yet in your spiritual venture where you can say for sure that you have eternal life in heaven, with out a shadow doubt and if so is it because you forsook everything? Curious, CDBJ |

What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me Phi 3:8-12 so what happened? Am I different? and assumptions are not good for a christian (it looks like) what do you think Paul's reply was? |
