42 | How can one be sure of his/her salvation | John 3:16 | richilou | 10439 | ||
I think that many people ask question that demand reflexion and oftentimes we forget that in saying much, we confuse other. I don't say it because it would be what you have done, but it is just an advice in passing. | ||||||

45 | but in John's Gospel. | John 3:16 | richilou | 10532 | ||
I will just add a final point on the issue. In John's theology, the "world" means not only people as most of people think. It is the people in their depravity, in their fallen condition. In the same sense he (John) could say "do not love the world, nor the things that are in the world" (1 John 2.15). Now, I agree with the fact that the simple sense is referring to people and not to earth or material things. It is not for that that God sent His Son. But I think that in adding what I have said here, we are in a better condition to understand the "so" in "God so loved the world..." Now, what I mean by that is that in John 3.16 the exegesis is complete not only with the theoretical sense of a word (what many preacher think unfortunately), it is completed when we apply the text to the life of those for whom it has was written. In the context of John 3, we see clearly the concept of perdition or lostness of humnankind (just the discussion with Nicodemus proves it). And it is in that same launch that Jesus added that God so loved the world (in his terrible condition of not being born again) that He gave His only Son precisely to achieve that mandate. So, in conclusion, remember that a word must always been understood in his grammatical sense, yes, but in the author's purpose too, in order to achieve what God has in mind, that is, to convince the world of their need of salvation. Thank you all, for your frank and friendly participation to the question I asked on the forum. Bye! | ||||||
46 | but in John's Gospel. | John 3:16 | richilou | 10551 | ||
I think you misinterpreted me with my use of "frank". It was very positive to me to tell you that. Excuse the use of certain words I could choose, because I am a french-speaker first of all. You have not to be easier with me, because you have been all the time until now. | ||||||
47 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | richilou | 10426 | ||
I think that you have well answered to that point of view. As you I think and know that her theology of gifts of the Holy Spirit is not sound. Thank God for your intervention. | ||||||
48 | Can a woman speak in church? | 1 Tim 2:15 | richilou | 10701 | ||
Now, my friend I would like to tell you that you understood well what the person meant by "the head of the Church" without trying to split the hair in four. I think that that persons knew that Christ is the head of the Church, and wanted to say that he is head in the sense of leadership. Let us not think that all christians are ignorant of the truth when they don't use the exact word to express their thought. | ||||||
49 | But women will be preserved through the | 1 Tim 2:15 | richilou | 10733 | ||

50 | Can a woman speak in church? | 1 Tim 2:15 | richilou | 10736 | ||
Welcome! | ||||||
51 | Can a woman speak in church? | 1 Tim 2:15 | richilou | 10765 | ||
The thing I noticed is that, in reality, we believe the same thing concerning the point you made in your response. But I just wanted to say that even though words are important they are often used in another way that we could have thought. As you said: "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." | ||||||
