    Let's have another controversial post on inerrancy

    My experience is that what calls itself church in most cases is one of the centers of satan's attack on believers. We've accepted virtually everything done in "church" which cannot be found in the NT. We've created classes of people laity/clergy distinction in the name of doing church, which...

    Bible Study What subject did Jesus teach on more than hell, money, salvation or repentence

    Thisnumbersdisconnected, I can only speak for my own experience at Sunday-going-to-meeting... In 38 years in 7 denominations, I never heard a single message on it! Secondly, in answers to a query of 50 national and international ministries, I got 3 responses that were substantive and only 1 that...

    Bible Study What subject did Jesus teach on more than hell, money, salvation or repentence

    Thisnumbersdisconnected, I would agree with you to a degree... Its an indubitable fact that there is this now-reality as well as an eventuality to the kingdom of God. But in most cases "the now-reality" is downplayed or minimal in presentations and meanings. The focus is upon eventuality (this...

    Let's have another controversial post on inerrancy

    Farouk, I don't think that I was intimating nor inferring in all that I have said or written that we shouldn't trust God or the texts we have... We have been talking about the nature, the essence, the degree of value they present for a believer. What many inerrancy advocates refuse to deal with...

    Let's have another controversial post on inerrancy

    P31W, You didn't read Wurmbrand's quote very thoroughly. He said "we FORGOT about theology AND the bible and we lived IN THE TRUTH... The Bible, as good as it is, is MERELY the truth about the truth as near as it can be had... Can you explain, how an infinite God can be confined to finite text...

    Let's have another controversial post on inerrancy

    P31W, I can't answer your question because it is a question that presupposes things that can't be presupposed. What I am saying isn't some cute word play trick... Your question is like someone asking you if you believe that God can do anything, can He then make a rock so big He can't pick it...

    A good recipe

    I am not much of a cook, but a hankering is the mother of invention. We had a thaw-and-cook dinner from ALDI (Bremer brand). It must have been a special offer, because afterward we've never seen it... So, Pam (my wife) and I concocted our own version of Beef & Mushroom with Tortellini &...

    Bible Study What subject did Jesus teach on more than hell, money, salvation or repentence

    Gotcha on the moderating... Think about when righteousness, peace and joy occur? Certainly in the hereafter, but that is a given. Thus this text is talking about "the now" of living. Eating is something we do in "the now" but this text is saying the KOG is not typical physical world stuff, but...

    Bible Study What subject did Jesus teach on more than hell, money, salvation or repentence

    Reba, very true... Notice the nature of this verse. Does it refer to an eventuality or a now-reality? In other words, is it appealing to the now in which we live and minister, or is what it refers to something after the judgement of God or in the hereafter?

    Let's have another controversial post on inerrancy

    P31W (shortened), I think I did answer your question, do we have all of God breathed words? And if we don't is it still without error? Textually, the bible itself admits that we DO NOT have all of what God gave these writers as I noted in my article...

    Bible Study What subject did Jesus teach on more than hell, money, salvation or repentence

    Jethro, good observations... But take a look at all the mentions of the KOG, passive or active, and ask yourself are they relating to a "now-reality" (again not in the kingdom now/dominionists mindset) but a current reality, perspective and realm in which we live within this temporal world; or...

    Let's have another controversial post on inerrancy

    P31Woman, I would agree that God is not capable of error. Yet, He was the one who made several version of "the canon of scripture" nor did He ever predict or say that there should be "a canon" of scripture. Secondly, if God revealed Himself to people before any written works about Him were...

    Let's have another controversial post on inerrancy

    Grazer, This is one subject that as you noted, goes back and forth. One reason is because its a belief in a belief, not something that is axiomatic and proven on level of relationship. In fact we could go as far as to say this ideal is an anti-relationship with God. What's the point in...

    Bible Study What subject did Jesus teach on more than hell, money, salvation or repentence

    Jethro, The subject of the Kingdom of God, not to be confused with "kingdom now" (a form of dominionism). Jesus mentions the kingdom of God directly more than 90 times and alludes to it another 25 or so times. Yet you don't hear a peep about the subject in modern circles. I could go 6 months...

    Bible Study What subject did Jesus teach on more than hell, money, salvation or repentence

    Jethro, I would agree with you... Yet there is still a subject, very common in the NT (especially in the mouth of Christ), which does not see the light of day in modern circles. There is some teaching about this but very little, especially for the everyday person. The little that is available is...

    Bible Study What subject did Jesus teach on more than hell, money, salvation or repentence

    Yes all... However, if we are doing a study of topical subjects Christ taught, as in mentioned, what will we find that is not mentioned in modern teachings or church? There is overwhelming teaching on love and forgiveness today in every place. But what subject is tantamount to a third rail...

    Bible Study What subject did Jesus teach on more than hell, money, salvation or repentence

    If we were to go and mark a Concordance with the number of mentions of the subjects that I listed in the title of this thread, we'd find a good number of occurances of each. But imagine a subject mentioned more than all of those combined? Jesus spent a ton time articulating this subject, yet...
