Subject: Does Psalms 22 stand up to the skeptics? |
Bible Note: "Maybe somebody should remind John about the throngs of people who attended the miracle sessions, who came to be healed from all over the land." They abandoned Him. "Where was John when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the donkey’s colt, when Jesus’ entrance almost caused a riot, when he was hailed as the KING OF JEWS?" That was Sunday. A lot happened between then and Friday. The KING OF THE JEWS was ordered by Pilate to be put on Jesus' cross, so that was a Roman decision, not on the initaive of the Jews. "As far as Acts 2:36, did Peter literally mean each and every person in the whole country?" Peter was speaking to the Jews collectively. There were over 3000 in attendance, and the response that follows in the next verse is clearly not just on the part of the Pharisees, and it is clearly a response to Peter's speech that culminates in 2:36. 'Do you understand the Trinity? Really? If you do, you’d be the first person I know about that really does. That would be unique, indeed. Trinity may be the real reason for the word “faith” to be a part of Christianity. (By the way, wouldn’t it be the distinction “among” persons, instead of “between” persons? Just something my “pals” are wondering about….)' Right. Your "pals." Looking over your previous posts, I now remember that we have discussed the Trinity before, as well as some other issues. Every last one of your posts has been dedicated to casting doubt on the revelation of God, whether it be the Trinity or meat-eating and the flood or God's sovereign choice in salvation or Paul's alleged homosexuality. If you are operating from the perspective of a follower of Jesus Christ trying to resolve apparent problems you have with the text, that is one thing (your "Paul may have been gay" comment out of left field suggests that this is not the case). If you are on some mission to demonstrate the "errancy" and "fallibility" of Scripture, please let me point you to the guidelines of this Forum and ask you to abide by them or stop posting here. The owner of this Forum has not set it up to be a debate center between agnostics/atheists and Christians. There are plenty of excellent sites such as http://www.carm.org which provide that type of venue. --Joe! |
