Cbcpreacher wrote: Therefore, I agree with Jesus still when He said, "My kingdom is not of this world". That would be why I made the statements that I did. Cbcpreacher, Just to clarify, when I said Protestant I could have replaced that with Reformed in doctrine and worship. I will comment on the above because I have meditated on this text as well. I believe the Lord meant, as he said in his high priestly prayer, regarding his disciples that his kingdom is still in the world but not of it. I am a historic post-millenialist. It would be just if God was done with our nation but because he is not done with his elect or his visible church it is hard to understand what God might determine. Do you have sermons on this sight? |

Jessica Dawson wrote: The editors have the right to edit, it's their job. ... It's their money, their business. I thought your post sounded reasonable, but I did not think it was biblical. I had to ask myself why not? "Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth." It would seem to me that every editor is duty bound before a holy God to speak the truth in love. But so few in every nation know it themselves or the God who is Love? But when the Church is the picture of Ephesians.4 teaching believers how to apply both the Old and New Testament Scriptures to their vocations and when necessary dealing with public scandals among her members, when Biblical Church discipline is being exercised with the keys given them by Christ because true biblical Church governors under one Government reflective of Ephes.4 then in that day, the local congregations will reflect Romans 12 and fulfill Rev. 11:11 by being faithful to their covenants. Then in due time the civil sphere will acknowledge it is their duty to kiss the Son lest he be angry and they perish in the way once his wrath begin to burn. Then they will protect the true religion and all their subjects, by punishing evil doers and rewarding the righteous. Isaiah 49:22-24 |

Alarm bells wrote: Hope Are you a Theonomist? If you are asking me if I believe that God has a right to set the moral standard for his creation/creatures, then, I know none with more right. If you are asking if I believe that Jesus Christ is the Prophet, Priest, and King of his spiritual kingdom on earth, then see: John 1:18; 1 Peter 1:10-12; John 15:15; John 20:31 Heb. 9:14; Heb.2:17; Heb.7:24-25 |

Neil wrote: organized Christianity has long supported compulsory state education (e.g. Martin Luther, the New England Puritans, the Scottish Kirk, et al.), Neil,there is a difference between Luther's Germany, England's divided Puritans and Scotland's visionary biblical accuracy. The United States is another story altogether. Your statement is too broad. The theory that man is basically good is not what made the Scottish Church swear the National and Solemn League and Covenant nor some few of England's Puritans. It was an accurate biblical view of prophetic Scripture and a comprehensive understanding of the Old and New Testament Scripture. These men believed that the Spirit of God was uniting the Church in one doctrine, worship, discipline and government, and securing in positions of civil authority men who feared God and trembled at his word. Things would have had a very different outcome if the nations who vowed to Almighty God vowed and paid, or if their posterity applied it to their national situation. Some did and do see Rev.11 History marches on. What was accomplished was the Westminster Confession of Faith and the other documents in the Free Presbyterian Publisher's Edition of the Confession. That understood is the next step. |

"On January 8, 1956 five young missionaries landed on a small beach on the Curaray River in the jungles of Ecuador. Their names were Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Pete Fleming, Jim Elliot and RogerYouderian. This was to be their second contact with the warlike Auca Indians. The first had been made two days earlier, and the Aucas had been cautious but friendly. This time, however, the savage Aucas attacked the Missionaries without warning. All five were killed, and their plane destroyed. News of the slayings shocked the world, but caused Christians to earnestly pray for this needy tribe and for the other missionaries who now took up the task of reaching them. Other missionaries, including the widows of some of the five men who died, did reach the Aucas. Gradually, they realized that the white men had come to help them, and began to listen to the gospel (good news) of God’s love. Since then the majority of this Auca tribe has turned to Christ, including five of the men who killed the missionaries. Two of these former killers now minister the gospel to their tribe. On one day they baptized two of Nate Saint’s children in the Curaray River–at the very place where they had slain the missionaries 10 years earlier! God has a purpose in all that He allows!" (Romans 8:28) |

I would love to get this for my pastor who is seeking to redefine "living successfully" within our church fellowship. |
