blessedhope, I see another dimension to the wrath or anger of God. When I speak of the anger/wrath of God, I refer to how God intensely hates all sin. As a result, God acts towards such sin in his own unique way. We see evidence of the outworking of God’s wrath in the Scriptures when God’s...

Your continuing use of the red herring fallacy again demonstrates you do not want to discuss the issue I raised with you - the difference between 'examples' and 'all'. It's incredible that you don't want to admit the difference in the meaning of these words.

That's a red herring of a response. You did not accurately represent what I wrote. You are falsely accusing me. No wonder I have you on Ignore. I will not continue to tolerate what you do to my posts. Bye.

Stan, Stan, That's quite an inglorious response. Any dictionary (try Oxford dictionaries online) will tell you the difference between 'examples' and 'all'. They are not synonymous terms. I wrote: 'Crossan, Funk and clan are examples of postmodernists in action'. Wormwood wrote that I was...

WW, I'm going to have to agree to disagree with you. In academic postmodernism - in spite of your protests re Derrida - deconstruction is a core element of this worldview. As for most young people being postmodern in thinking, that's not so here in Australia. Many are, but 'most', no! You are...

Kym, I'm trying to get a handle on exactly where Tobabo is. Found it on this Worldatlas: You are very close to Venezuela and your weather must be even hotter than what I experience in SE Queensland (Brisbane), Australia. Were you born in Tobago? Of course, we Aussies have had most contact...

Angelina, I am particularly thinking of Scriptures where Jesus made these statements: John 6:37 (ESV), 'All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out'. John 6:44 (ESV), 'No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise...

Who originally compiled and confirmed the books of the NT? Why are these books not in the NT - the Gospel of Peter, the Gospel of Thomas, The Didache, the Gospel of the Laodiceans, the Gospel of Nicodemus, etc? Oz

Angelina, I think I could be close to affirming what you are supporting, 6. Salvation and Eternal life because of the sacrifice of himself on behalf of all who believe in him by faith. However, I would add that the initiative with salvation is with God and not human beings. God frees the will...

WW, You say, 'It is true deconstruction of documents is a byproduct of postmodernism. However, I see this as no different than the redaction and form criticism that was a byproduct of modernism'. No, deconstruction is a core element as part of postmodernism. It is different from redaction...

WW, I can endorse much of what you've said here, although I'm not as familiar as I ought to be with Radical Orthodoxy. I've been too busy deconstructing reader-response theories and exposing Crossan's presuppositions for 5 years to get involved too deeply in RO. Yes, there are worldviews and...

WW, This is where I'll disagree with you. The reader-response mentality of postmodernism that deconstructs (Crossan's language is reconstructs) any document means that a postmodern, reader-response reconstruction of the Gospel makes the truth of the Gospel putty in the hands of the reader. He...

I don't disagree with becoming like Christ. However, Paul gave us another dimension in 1 Cor 9:19ff: Become a servant of all, which means.... Becoming like a Jew; Becoming like one under the law; Becoming like one outside the law; Becoming weak And by extension, becoming like a postmodern to...

Neither of these verses confirms that Mary was not the one through whom Jesus' flesh came.

WW, I'll get back to your content here later as I'm working on a journal article for academic consumption. Have you read Albert Mohler's new article that arrived in my email today? His view is that the West has moved beyond postmodernism. Interesting! By the way, I again was not advised in...

It's not flagged as spam from my end. The problem is that the reminders of posts to me were coming through 3 weeks ago (no thought of spam then) and now they are not - except that I was notified of your email. Earlier this morning my time, I asked Angelina in a PM to investigate my notifications...

BA, What was the response from the conservative Presbyterian congregation on Sunday night? I softened the impact of the example of the Australian churches who are offering sanctuary for asylum seekers in their churches, but using this example: Do you remember this lady? (courtesy Wikipedia)...

WW, Thank you for your insightful response. It was very helpful. My problem is that I've been working exclusively in academic circles in the last 5 years as I've written a large dissertation on deconstructing the presuppositions of John Dominic Crossan's postmodernism in historical Jesus'...

Angelina, Sorry for my oversight in not explaining the text further. This may be a bit technical for some. Let's try. Titus 2:11 (ESV) reads, ‘For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people’. What is a plain reading of the text saying? When did God’s grace appear? What...
