Amid Burst of Fervor, Pope Canonizes a Brazilian

Exactly the point I'm trying to make.
God's prophets illuminating the anticipation of Christ; and God's apostles revealing the fulfilling nature of Christ's advent.
We are the Temple of God, the Church, built upon that foundation. The rebuttal afforded us, is irrefragable. This is why I keep saying to let the Bible interpret itself, and we will not be confounded.

Thanks, guys.

Yep. Pretty obvious, guys. Couple that with the first four verses in chapter 5, and the parallel passage in 1Cor.15 (I call it the 'death of death' passage); and you've got the one and only Second Coming.

One more time.

Matt. 16:18 is the only verse used by the Roman Catholic Church to support papal authority and existence; and that
interpretation is completely demolished
by Eph.2:19,20 (as per my post on the 17th, and Wayne M. today). Scripture does not war with Scripture. This is the explanation of what Jesus said to Peter. Why are Protestants even dealing with this anymore? If Roman Catholics will not hear the Word of God, why do you think that they will hear us?
Only the Word of God can diffuse error;
not historical argumentation.

These are merely observations.

1. I believe true separation of church and state, is: the division of labor between two earthly institutions, both called to serve God, in different spheres. I base this on the fact that God is the God of the State as well as
the Church.

2. I do not see the name of Jesus in any of our countries founding documents.

3. Merely because a person agrees that murder is criminal, does not make him a believer (per Cbcpreacher). 'Natural
law' many times intersects with biblical law.

4. Without a Christian Directory, eventually revolt or anarchy will result.

Ah, now we're getting somewhere. I'm sorry, Tim aka Cbcpreacher; I must have been editing my post, while you were entering yours. I'm still not sure that I understand how that works.

So far, I believe that your last conclusion is correct. This is why I have been re-examining my understanding of twenty years, much of which was based on extra-biblical writings on creation. This is merely dogmatics. In the light of the greater
analogy of Scripture, I'm having a difficult time with a purely literal or
purely hyperbolic interpretation. I have put aside all extra-biblical works
for this. Your response shows me two things: (1) You also have appealed to the greater analogy of Scripture. (2) You are not afraid to examine this in the light of it.

Where did the light, which was part of the alternation of light and darkness that constituted 'a day', come from, in the first three days?
Anyone.
No one is questioning the infallibility
or inerrancy of the Scripture in the original autographs.
What I am questioning is (I am going to frame this in the only way that I can think of, in order that any antagonism must be imagined, or manufactured), my possibly fallible or errant interpretation.

Here is what Matt. 16:18 means;

Eph. 2:19-20 and 1Pet. 2:5

Let the Roman Catholic allow the pope to tell him what to believe. We have the Word of God. Let it interpret itself.

Wow! Expositor. I read your posts; but I would have to say, I must have missed the whole idea. I didn't get at all what Lurker and Lance Eccles are apparently seeing so clearly.
Is that what you meant to say?

(Chuckle)

And regarding the article; I could not come up with a picture, in all the rage and wickedness of my most evil imaginations, of an individual that would want to do harm to this poor creature.

Even though, Wayne M., I believe that our understanding of the 'rapture' is different; I don't see that as central enough to Realist's position to mark it out as his grounds for 'slurring'
Christians.
Actually, (and correct me if I am wrong
in this, Realist) it seems to me that he is more concerned with 'free' grace,
being turned into 'cheap' grace.
And Realist; you need to get away from
professing Christians who hold such aberrant views. You obviously know that 'servant' means just that.

I guess as far as the atheist scientist

TIME: Should Incest Be Legal?

Expositor,
I understand, and you understand. My rhetorical question is for 'them'. I cannot understand what 'matrix', what paradigm of thought they could possibly be coming from. They obviously cannot understand why we would be so intolerant of such things
as incest; but unless you go completely 'animal', what can you ground the toleration of incest, on?
I understand the passage in Ezekiel; the same as 'sending strong delusion, so that they will believe the lie'. But how does the natural man explain this?

For myself; I have never seen the 'biblical' use of tongues, but that doesn't mean He cannot bring them into usefulness, for the edification of the body, according to the guidelines already laid out by Paul. These guidelines, however, are very restrictive. The key to all of this is
the distinction between the edification of the 'body of Christ' and that of edifying oneself.
I do believe, Jim Lincoln, that the first clause in verse 22 (your post),
speaks volumes to say, 'Consider carefully what you do, when you choose
to 'speak in tongues''. So far, I have heard nothing but babbling without a translator, also. To me, the ultimate in presumption, and neglecting to test the spirits.

Absolutely silly me. I never thought for a moment, that when the Revelation
speaks of 'destroying them that destroy the earth' (11:18), it was speaking of babies.

I don't know, Jim Lincoln;
Since the Methodist and Presbyterian churches seem to be turning to liberalism and women pastors, these days, it doesn't really surprise me. I guess what astounds me, is that we make no distinction between legal and illegal.

Wayne M.,
Even concerning the passage that you quote back to me; surely you believe that a day in His courts is better than
'only' one thousand. No, it's better than anything. That's the point. This number is used when the Lord is saying
something that transcends. The same with 'the cattle on a thousand hills'.
We know better. 'His word... to a thousand generations.' Same thing. The reason I didn't mention the Revelation,
was because we haven't established anything yet, to your satisfaction. But
I believe that it's even more obvious there. John is seeing 'resurrected souls'. He is seeing 'a dragon being sealed in a pit'. This done by Jesus at the cross. Thousand is here used to mean until something is accomplished or completed, because something concerning these two scenes, happens afterwards. If you and I were to die tomorrow, and Jesus came the next day;
or if we died two thousand years ago, and Jesus came today; we would have lived and reigned with Him 'a thousand
years'.
I understand the Bible the way it instructs me to understand it. Read strictly by way of syntax and semantic;
none would understand it.
I take the Genesis account literally in
that 'God created everything that is'.

Wayne M.,
See Job 9:3
Ps. 50:10
Ps. 84:10
Ps. 90:4
Ps. 105:8
2Pet. 3:8
Rev. 14:1
These and many other places in Scripture clearly indicate that the word 'thousand' means something grander
or at least different than the mere number... forever; completion or perfection; until something is accomplished; an undetermined amount of time.
In the Revelation, we are in the spirtual realm.

The 'rapture' is clearly the 'end'.
Compare 1Thess.4 and 1Cor.15; parallel passages. Jesus, regarding Noah and Lot.

Passages concerning Christ on earth, are 'kingdom' or first advent related;
otherwise, this would mean that nothing is said about the results of Christ's death and resurrection, in the Old Testament.
I could come up with many more, including the famous 'Isaiah 11' passage.
Much of it is difficult, I know.
I don't have all the answers.
See also; John Wilmot, 'Inspired Principles of Prophetic Interpretation'; John Gerstner,
'Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth'; Patrick Fairbairn, 'The Interpretation of Prophecy'.
