Bible Note: Dear Jeff, Sorry... I still haven't gone back and read them. :-) From your previous post you wrote, "I'm more interested in what the bible has to say about it." I took this statement as a request for Scripture pertinent to the question of who conferred the powers of jurisdiction and kingship upon Jesus Christ. If they were of no value to you, perhaps God in His Providence will cause them to be of value to a third party. You wrote, "would you be so kind as to give me additional feedback on this theology?" If this is an effort to stir debate, it would be a violation of SBF guidelines for me to encourage it with a response. If it is an honest inquiry, I have to confess that I'm much more comfortable and better equipped to discuss the historical, orthodox Baptist theology of which I am a proponent. My apologies for stirring you to such excesses of feeling by my description of these doctrines. I used that particular endearing epithet to try to diffuse the antipathy expressed in your disavowal of my post. Please take it as nothing more than a benevolent encouragement to Titus 2:6. In Him, Doc |
