141 | and you will be like God | Gen 3:5 | flinkywood | 216576 | ||
Doc, I thought JPII's paragraph pretty well done. As for the RCC anathematizing the Gospel, that is a pretty sweeping statement. Anyway, that one will stay corked. | ||||||

Doc Thanks for posting these Trentian "anathemas". I was struck by how much sense they make against Calvin's theology, which I find harsh (dungpiles and filthy rags) and at variance with our Father's character as revealed in both testaments. (Did Calvin ever read 2Ki 20:1-6)? I say Father because a Judge--though He is also a Judge--loves His prodigal son far more than any judge can. And like the prodigal, when we turn back we come to our Father's house, to our Holy Family, not simply to a courtroom. To have "anathematized the gospels", if I understand your formulation, means that the RCC essentially disagreed with Calvin's--and your--NT perspective. Whoa. Now I don't know whether the RCC condemned Calvin or any other Reformer to hell for having instructed others in the "lost doctrines"(?) of the universal church, but I do think the RCC were within their rights to condemn his theology as they saw fit and to fling whatever arrows they had in his direction. The Reformers had equal right to shoot back. And shoot back they did. |

Doc, I know the guidelines, as I've haunted SBF for a good while. Also, no need to apologize for my "angst", since I had none. |

144 | Is Satan Jesus' brother? Gen 3:15 | Gen 3:15 | flinkywood | 114448 | ||
Tara1, Satan was created by God. Jesus was not. Satan is the author of death. Jesus is the author of life. If Satan were Jesus' brother, he'd be mine also and most of the people's on this forum. Don't ask me to defend your positon. The burden of proof is yours. Do you know the definition of heretic? It is "one who chooses." Your current choice is clear. Colin |

145 | Is Satan Jesus' brother? Gen 3:15 | Gen 3:15 | flinkywood | 114461 | ||
Tara, When you, unlike Jesus, think Jesus' equality with God to be robbery, of course you conclude that Jesus is really Satan's brother! You show guts in finally revealing your true colors here, but your postion is anti-Christian in the extreme and harmful to all young believers. What you are peddling is spiritual crack. Colin |

146 | So is the book of Romans 4 a contraditio | Gen 12:1 | flinkywood | 57501 | ||
Faith is an act, a work. In German, for ex., Ich Glaube, "I believe", literally means "I faith". First, we are saved by faith... Eph 2:8,9 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Then we're perfected by works: James 2:22 "Seest thou how by faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?" Abraham trusted God to the extent that he was ready to sacrifice Isaac, ready to demonstrate his faith through an act that was pure Abraham and totally in his character: Mat 7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Sin, like faith, is also an act; and like faith, it's an act of the heart: Mat 5:28 "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Rahab just acted on what was already in her heart. First it's faith, then works. He's after our character: Rom 5:3,4 :...but we glory also in afflictions, knowing that affliction works out patience, and patience works out proven character; and proven character, hope." So these are complementary, not contradictory. Works are obedient faith. Colin. |

147 | So when does justification come? | Gen 12:1 | flinkywood | 57537 | ||
Rom 10:8,9,10 "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Go out and spread the good news. Colin |

148 | Who was Zipporah father | Ex 2:21 | flinkywood | 111638 | ||
Mes, Zipporah was the daughter of Reuel, the priest of Midian, the land whence Moses had fled Pharoah's wrath. (Exodus 2:15-2:25). Reuel also had another name, Jethro (3:1); the former means "friend of God", the latter possibly "his excellency". (Source: NIV) Zipporah and her family were Ethiopian. She is also mentioned in Exodus 4:25; 18:2. Jethro is also mentioned in Exo 4:18 and in most of Chapter 8. Colin |

149 | Who was Zipporah father | Ex 2:21 | flinkywood | 111655 | ||
EdB, that is a great question. I took it from Numbers 12.1 "Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had married a Cushite woman)", which the NASB cross-references to Zipporah in Exo 2.21. The Cushites were an Eastern African tribe of Southern Egypt. I'd always assumed they were Ethiopian. The OT is apparently vague on the Midianite-Cushite background of Moses' wife. Either Moses had another wife, a Cushite, in Num 12.1 or she was the one and only Zipporah. I'm stumped on this one, EdB Colin |

Steve, I looked at that link before answering EdB, but the NASB cross-references Numbers 12.1 back to Exo 2.21, at variance with the New Advent article. Interesting. Colin |

EdB, I gathered as much from your progress with Emmaus through this thread. Makes sense. Colin |

Never heard of Kenneth L. McKay. He is also a ghost on the Web. What is the point of your post? Colin |

Tara, Do you agree that the Bible unequivocably teaches that Jesus Christ is uncreated and eternal? Colin |

Steve, Here's old Webster's handy definition of a common term: IGNORA'MUS, n. (L. we are ignorant; from ignoro.) 1. The indorsement which a grand jury make on a bill presented to them for inquiry, when there is not evidence to support the charges, on which all proceedings are stopped, and the accused person is discharged. 2. An ignorant person; a vain pretender to knowledge. Ignore this heckler. Colin |

Rowdy, Spread the good news: Our sins are forgiven, we're going to heaven, let's go out and steal! The Law is dead, right? Colin |

Rowdy, have you actually read the Old Testament, Genesis to Malachi? Colin |

158 | Are we free from KEEPING the Law? | Ex 20:8 | flinkywood | 119595 | ||
Kalos, Your posts are consistently energetic, backed by solid argumentand and always interesting. "Abolitionist" theology is groundless, as is much that's posted on this forum of late, one of the prime reasons I'm spending increasingly less time herein. What's behind abolitionist theology, it seems, is a desire to abolish those darned Ten Commandments because, after all, Heaven is a welfare state where saints live on the Heaven's Earthly Dole (HED), great news for querulous converts who like their Jesus-lite. "...I will spew thee out of my mouth" (Rev 3.16) Stern's Bible is a great read, by the way. Colin |

Yes, I've read James and Romans. Colin |

Yes... Oh, and David didn't really fall on his face begging God's forgiveness, did he? And, oh, I hear 1 John 1.9 is just a gloss. "Let's break out the booze and have a ball, if that's all there is." Peggy Lee Colin |
