Re: Early Church and Scripture

Taken from A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs , David W. Bercot, Editor, p. 601. Look carefully into the Scriptures, which are the true utterances of the Holy Spirit. Clement of Rome (c.96) 1.17 Take up the epistle of the blessed apostle Paul. What did he write to you at the time when the Gospl...

Re: Why is it good for us that Jesus went away?

kaufmannphillips, I'm totally sprung on my new girlfriend. I've been reading her love notes to past boyfriends, and she's just fantastic. Never listen to a word she says now, though. Those old notes are heavy enough for me. I don't think I'm missing out on anything. I hear your girlfriend has been t...

Re: Why is it good for us that Jesus went away?

TK, I wrote: I consider the New Testament record to be the final revelation from God, given through the Apostles and Prophets by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. You replied: I guess I don't quite get what you mean here. Are you saying that the HS never "speaks" to Christians any more? or gives t...

Re: Why is it good for us that Jesus went away?

TK wrote, why should I feel compelled that any apply to me? On the other hand, why would you think that everything applies to you? Are you an Apostle? Why would a truth spoke to the disciples not be a truth for us today? Because Jesus selected 12 disciples and designated them as Apostles. They were ...

Jill wrote: If Jesus was raised by God among the first fruits of those which slept, there would have been no one raised before the time of Moses, or the flood spoken of by Noah. Those "which slept" to council man? And if by Angels only, than no man need be raised by God save Jesus Christ only. For w...

Re: Why is it good for us that Jesus went away?

This raises the question of WHY it is better for us that Jesus went away In John 16:7b, Jesus preemptively answers this question: "Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you." Be careful to remember that not every conversation in the Bible is directed ...

Re: Baptism & Conscience

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, because they formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the day...

Re: Why do futurists teach the second coming...

But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I charg...
