    They knew !

    As far as how much the OT prophets understood in regards to how their prophecies would be fulfilled by the Messiah... I think the idea of "through a glass darkly" is probably best. Clear understanding... even David's in regards to the quotes from the Psalms you shared above, is doubtful for most...

    They knew !

    Agua, reading through your OP and your question of whether or not the prophets in the OT understood that some of the signs they were presenting were types of Christ... I'm wondering if you think that, in order for Jesus' words to Nicodemus to make sense, they must have? And you are searching...

    How To Lose Your Salvation...

    I believe that the Spirit will help reveal God to all who seek Him. I think that's at the heart of texts like Acts 17:27. And, as Romans 1 tells us, creation itself give evidence of God. Groping for God, even though He's not that far away from any of us, or passively seeing God's invisible...

    Has it really been over a year since I've been here?!

    Wha? Y'all mean the "magic adult fairies" are not going to come and bestow upon your teens a brand spanking new Ford Mustang, annual insurance premiums paid for and unlimited gasoline? lol.... Yeah... they aren't coming for my kids either. Nikki, I didn't realize how close our kids are in...

    Photographs St. Louis Cathedral

    Beautiful! Thanks, as always, for sharing. I love how the photography, both the color and the bw, present the figure of Christ as almost pure light. Very symbolic!

    20/20 hindsight ...especially if one has the Spirit... is always so clear. :wink

    How To Lose Your Salvation...

    OK.. I'm just going to wade right in here and probably deal with things already said and points already made. Here goes: Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not dying in a state of unbelief. I think people think that dying in a state of unbelief must be the "unpardonable sin" because, once...

    Fellowship versus Followship

    I think I would have to disagree with the pastor on this idea. The marriage bed can indeed be defiled. A homosexual relationship is not going to suddenly become "blessed by God" simply because the state grants them a license to marry according to our nations laws.

    They knew !

    I agree with much of what you are saying here, Doulos Iesou. I will also go on to say that Christians, even though we have the Spirit, are just as apt to fall into the same trap of contextualizing the Messiah's second coming. I rarely get involved in eschatology discussions for this very...

    The kid readiness test :)

    lol.... I wonder if any of the other "old timers" around here remember jacks? Not the new, plastic jacks, but good old-fashioned ones made out of metal. Legos are to jacks what dandelion puffs are to cacti. And, sure as shootin' if we couldn't find one when we were putting them away...Dad was...

    is marriage dead?

    Very well said. :clap I think today's Christian underestimates...or perhaps doesn't even believe... how effective we (the Church) would be if we concentrated on being salt and light, rather than on what the world is doing. Our mission has remained unchanged in the past 2000 years...to carry the...

    Anyone Else on Spring Break?

    Hi Everyone! Long time, no see, as we used to say when we were kids? What's everyone up to? Is anyone else on Spring Break? We are, so we're having a much more relaxing week here on the RedTail Ranch. Viola's bio brother is visiting us and if there is ever an indicator of the passage of time...

    [__ Prayer __] Missing Child

    Hi everyone, handy here after a long absence.... I wanted to drop in and beg prayers and help from all my brothers and sister here. Most of you know my kids are adopted. We have a close relationship with the family that adopted my daughter's biobrother, James. James has a sister Scheri and we...

    A Load Of Garbage

    The problem I see about the "facts" (as recorded in blue letter) is that these "facts" come off more as opinion. Other than the fact that Professor Lynn claimed these things, what "facts" are being spoken of here? That many more members of the "intellectual elite" considered themselves...

    Church; Dress code; and promiscuity in the church

    I agree... it should be the elder women who speak to these issues... Unfortunately, this kind of discipline (in the true meaning of the word) isn't often practiced in the church. And, when it is, it's perceived as unloving.:gah

    Church; Dress code; and promiscuity in the church

    Reading the article, it specifically mentions that these are "so-called "mature believers," not lost souls or baby Christians—" In which case, this isn't a matter of dress during the church assemblies... It's a matter of lack of understanding or out and out rebellion on the part of these...

    Wow About time

    Dennis Prager is a talk show host, not a high school principal. The speech is what he would give if he were a high school principal... http://www.jewishjournal.com/dennis_prager/article/a_principals_speech_to_high_school_students
