Sermon on the Mount
I've seen the Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5 to 7) as a step in a legal process. In a sense it would be like an indictment, though I would think that Matt 23 is closer to an indictment by telling the people that they have been charged with the killing of prophets He would send them. This sermon then is...

Re: Board (or forum) Suggestions
Do you guys have enough work for now????? I have thought that it would be nice to get a Bible Wiki started under which members could contribute their insights into scripture. People often have made interesting posts about a topic or verse or book and this information can just get lost among all the ...

Greetings
Hello, I came here cause of Michelle and Rick though they probably will tell you to be careful around me. I've been a Christian since end of 81 and have been a music minister for awhile. Also, I have been involved in Church meetings at a nursing home since about 92. That's where I had to start study...

Spirit of the Age
I have been expecting big changes in the church and maybe the world since about 2003. In a sense I expect a new reformation, a change of that magnitude or greater. For how can we be so bold to think that we have had everything figured out perfectly? And that's the problem that I have seen... namely ...

Re: Did the Pharisees of Jesus' Day Believe in Reincarnation?
hmmm. interesting. I have had a question on the back burner about the prophecies that the people of Israel would follow other gods. This would then be part of the reason for their judgment. Yet Jesus doesn't give an indictment against them for following other gods -- refer to Matt 23 for a lack of s...

Re: Problems in Preterism
I agree with most of what you are saying. But one thing I would tend toward, If I had enough time and energy, would be to start writing out a systematic theology just for the reason that the ideas I have presented are not in isolation but exist as part of a system of thinking. One reason to present ...

Re: Romans Outline
Hey Rick... Yes I finally made it. And hi Paidion. I would expect that an outline that started with awareness of the anti-Jewish sentiment would not clump chapters 1 to 5 (or to chapter 8) into one category. Instead there would be separate major topics in the outline for boasting and then for the ar...

Problems in Preterism
I came into a preterist viewpoint because my studies of the kingdom of God led me to discussions with full preterists. Once I learned the general idea of their viewpoint I thought that the kingdom concept would make sense to them. What I appreciated about these people espousing full preterism was th...

Romans Outline
Does anyone know of any outlines of the Book of Romans that have been created from scratch (not upon previous outlines -- say before 1980) based on the awareness of the racial tension that Paul was trying to fix? Just about every outline I can find on the internet seems to be based on the original a...
