    What do we think about Tim Keller?

    For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison, because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the...

    Rich Wounds Yet Visible Above

    Paul's use of "temple" isn't always literal (cf. 1 Cor. 3:16). It's a metonymy. The Temple is the seat of divine authority. But the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed not long after Paul wrote that, and ceased at that time to be the centre of the worship of God. Jesus said he would destroy the...

    Remember Grant Jeffries? He grew up in my church and his sister was on staff until a few years ago. My tongue still has the bite marks from his sermon on the prophetic implications of Y2K back in 1999.

    Just tell me that's not all at once. I thought I spread myself thin.

    Bathsheba's Sin?

    "Bathsheba was raped" is not an uncommon assertion amongst feminist Christians.

    Given the Dispensationalist assumption that prophecy foresees what is yet future, when they see passages in places such as Ezekiel that foretell the rebuilding of the Temple and the restoration of the sacrfices, they assume it's a future third Temple (often ignoring that Ezekiel was pre-exilic...

    Rich Wounds Yet Visible Above

    I don't disagree. We have a remembrance of Christ's sacrifice--the Lord's supper--and Paul says that "as often as [we] eat this bread and drink the cup, [we] proclaim the Lord's death until he comes" (1 Cor. 11:26). The implication of "until he comes" is that when Christ is here in the flesh...

    Bathsheba's Sin?

    In the absence of evidence to the contrary, it would appear she went to David willingly. Her sin was equal to his. Takes two to tango.

    Are you still a Dispensationalist? Isn't an outward reminder of his sacrifice the purpose of the purported restored Temple?

    Do Christians Worship a Jew?

    Jesus in his incarnation was an ethnic Jew and a religious Jew.

    Why did he bear the marks of the crucifixion after he rose from the dead? Because they were made in his body, and he bore the same body. Did he divest himself of his human nature when he ascended into heaven?

    Do Christians Worship a Jew?

    The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. (Matthew 1:1) Right off the bat, Matthew's Gospel gives Jesus the epithet "Son of David"--one that is repeated another nine times throughout the book (as well as in a few parallel passages in Mark and Luke). In...

    It's your point. Explain it yourself.

    MTG A Newly Minted RINO?

    LOL. No attempt was made to "Judaize our religion." Maybe Dillon tried to Judaize your mom.

    Do Christians Worship a Jew?

    By the same verse, we know no man after the flesh, so either Paul isn't making the point you're making, or you don't know what point you're trying to make.
