Confessions from a Baptist (By Chris)
Ok everyone I have a confession to make. I think that there is a tremendous need for Christians to spend more time in the Old Testament. I believe that because of our neglect in this area of the scripture we tend to lean towards license and abuse grace. In fact I have felt convicted to spend more time in the first five books. This I will do, although probably not right away. The commandments of God are of tremendous importance. I do not share the same view on application as many here would but the entire book is good none-the-less. I also must admit that the reason in part for the ignorance about prophecy that exists in the grand majority of Christian churches is due to a woeful ignorance of the prophets. The whole book is good, evangelicals should stop neglecting the older parts of the book and spend more time trying to harmonize the teachings of the two sections and their books. What do you think? Or am I just a crazy Baptist?
What does it mean to be “grafted in” (David)
We have been presented with this question by a Sister who is a faithful member of a Christian Church who wishes to better understand what we mean by being grafted into the “Olive Tree” of Isra’el. Let’ be as thorough as possible. Let’s be very careful to share in love and stay on topic.
What is Love (By David)
Video added by Scot post by David
Shevet has requested a thread be posted on the question, what is love?
Lets try to answer this question as thoroughly as possible. Let’s try to cover the different words both in Greek and Hebrew that are translated or transliterated as “love.” This is the one theme of Scripture that is vital for our walk with Him.
Sunday or “the first day”…where did it come from and is it in scripture?
I thought it might be good to look at the issue of the existence of Sunday or “the first day” in scripture? Why don’t we look at it and see what we find. Perhaps we can quote the scripture and then look at the context and see if it fits…including time, place, parties envolved and such. Be nice…there are Sunday believers all over the place who just don’t know any better. We want to be loving to them…that is important. I would expect strong support from the Greek texts PLUS consistency with the immediate context, taking into consideration: author, time, place, audience, etc…
Shalom NOT Shalvah!
Rapture doctrine…where are the misrepresentations and misunderstandings?
Right out of the gate I want to say…I BELEIVE IN A RAPTURE though it would be better stated as the resurrection of the dead. “Rapture” immediately conjures up fanciful dreams of escapism from hardship. A concept TOTALLY foreign to the early ekklesia or assembly. I thought it would be fitting if we all tried to follow a similar format so that new readers of the blog will be able to follow. Perhaps some of our brethren\sistren in the delusion.
