The Narrow Path Ministries

The question appears to have been put otherwise also: "Christ was human, but was He mortal?" It appears that no less than F.F. Bruce has written on this very subject. It seems I have at least some support in the literature, and if from Bruce that's good enough for me at present (I'm at least in good...

Some argue that Christ couldn't have actually be seen as the kinsman redeemer if He didn't actually inherit from one of Mary or Joseph (and hence Joseph) -- that's pretty thin, too, I think but my question is really assuming that He did actually share Mary's DNA, why must we assume that He lacked th...

true enough, but then again folks are often "sore afraid" or the like and are warned not to be afraid, etc. so literal or not, there must be something scary about them.

Is it possible that angels are likewise terrifying but for the love and comfort they provide when manifested ? "fear not, etc." Even angels seem to be something less than "angelic" in the bible. Add to that a demonic purpose, and (like people who have an evil heart), I suspect it could manifest in a...

I'm not sure I understand the alternate message from the trailer -- it seems intriguing, but I'm not sure what the movie is about after watching it (maybe that was by design). Is there a synopsis of the basic argument being made by the movie somewhere ? If it's not HIV/AIDS killing (let's just say) ...

Yes, I do believe much of what Christians believe about such things derive from Augustine -- that is one reason I'm putting them to the test. Even the assumption that sin comes genetically through the fathers (hence, the need to avoid Joseph's seed) is scripturally supported only by the very thinnes...

Apart from the miraculous confirmation of deity, the traditional reason for the virgin birth is said to be to avoid Christ having been "tainted" by "original sin." However, if that simply implies an inherited "tendency" to sin (as I believe), why would that necessitate this? We assume that being bor...

Zionism (Hebrew: ציונות‎, Tsiyonut) is the international political movement that originally supported the reestablishment of a homeland for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel (Hebrew: Eretz Yisra'el), the historical homeland of the Jews. Since the establishment of the State of Israel, the Zion...

You raise some good points, and your point about drawing the wrong conclusion about God is precisely my concern. One thing I should clarify -- I don't do the "emotional control aloofness" sort of thing I think you're perceiving (I've experienced that myself). I'm really talking about simply deciding...

I'm not sure if this answers your question, but I think the main thing is to let kids know we'll always love them no matter what – but also definitely need to show them that wrong choices will also have undesirable consequences; perhaps you could say you forgive them, but that because of the gravit...
