Have we not had this "Preterist" conversation before? (I am not a Preterist) Stop assuming. You are acting and responding as those in Israel who knew the scriptures, but still crucified Christ. The point is--this is that same time for the gentiles, and just as Israel failed during their final...

There is no need for you to repeat the errors of what was not fully understood and falsely taught. Please, history does not--will not repeat itself on this matter.

What does it matter if I did not include the lessor gifts when you have excluded the greater gifts? I tell you--it does not matter. As for the reformers and early fathers of the church, none held to all that was taught and spoken by Christ. I don't know what TULIP is, other than a flower.

I had/have no intentions of burning you at the stake. But rather to present the wall that exists before the point of impact, not made by me. As for those admirable preachers and teachers, I applaud them. They taught with an unmeasurable discipline with little more than a mustard seed among...

Biblically, none are Jews any longer. That is, the bloodline continues, but God's dealings with them as a nation and people is "finished", by Christ who was the Last. It is certainly not commonly known, but the transition of "the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the...

That's not the point. The point rather is that church teachings are not to be considered wholly reliable....which was your reasoning and support of considering gifts or offices of the Spirit to be a thing of the past.

Yes.

The specific teachings were not stated by Peter. However, they were stated by Jesus: They are the teachings of Jesus, not believed, nor taught. Do you know which ones they are? I ask, because I have thus far made no secret as to what they are, but few if any have believed my report. So, perhaps...

While Acts 2:38 is certainly a good model to follow and practice, there is no law in that passage. In fact the context is Peter specifically speaking to Israel, and not "Christendom." This then is much like the Law which Jesus reduced to two (for similar reasons). In which case, Jesus simply...

Peter warned of false teachers entering into the church (2 Peter 2:1). Paul foretold the believing of a lie causing strong delusion (2 Thessalonians 2:11). The apostle John said it was already at work (1 John 4;3). Which means, in spite of being a royal priesthood given the keys to the kingdom...

You have given the foretold "false teachers" a pass, and thus act in accord with the "lie" that was also foretold to be believed. What foundation have you, if you skip over the warnings and claim righteous doctrine coming from false teachings according to the warnings given by those former...

If the hair of Christ is short or long, He is still covered, for He is Christ. But for one only portraying the role of Christ in his home or community, to let his hair grow--he is adding of himself to the measure of Christ...therefore, "it is a dishonor to him" (1 Corinthians 11:14).

It's an image in parable from God (not me). Hair is a cover. Christ is a cover. The likeness is not in the hair, but in the fact that it is a cover. Which is not to say, they are the same--indeed they are not. Which is true of all parables. It's a parable...the chosen method of communication...

The word of God declares that there is only one correct translation or interpretation. Which is by the Holy Spirit, thus making the words spirit, and beyond any literary interpretation.

That would mean God is dead and a liar, for He has said, "Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them” Isaiah 42:9. As for the church age, an "apostle" is simply one sent. Certainly many have been and are sent, following the...

In a word: Rejection. If the betrothed rejects the groom, there is no wedding, no consummation, no two becoming one.

What "messianic prophecies?"

Being created in the image of God, means there is an image to be seen. It is a revelation. If a woman (biblically defined as the Bride of Christ, meaning men and women alike within the body of Christ) is not covered by Christ, she (men or women) is without God and the salvation that comes with...

This is a really good word on the state of the church! Shared: Scott Allen Taylor
