    Divorce, simply put

    This is exactly what we do to Christ. And yet He remains faithful. This is our example.

    A golden apple from CH Spurgeon

    The covenant of grace was the original covenant after all. There be some bad theologians who teach that God made man upright, and made a covenant with him; that man sinned, and that as a kind of afterthought God made a new covenant with Christ for the salvation of his people. Now, that is a...

    If God's election gives no consideration to any attributes of the chosen....

    I think that the cart is being put before the horse here. God does not elect a man in spite of his wealth, or in spite of his drinking habit, or any other such thing. We are chosen by God before we even become who we are. The rich man's heart hardening wealth is the product of his...

    Divorce, simply put

    I certainly think that a separation is in order for alot of situations, like abuse. Second, sunlover, you are right about my word choice. "Restrictive" was a poor choice. I simply meant that as Christians, we have a clearer definition of right and wrong in the teaching of Christ, and can't...

    Divorce, simply put

    Hmmm.... Those are good thoughts. There is no reason why God wouldn't bless a second, third, forth...marriage.

    Divorce, simply put

    The only reason to divorce your spouse is because of your own spiritual wickedness. In that case, by all means rush to get divorced. However, it is never permissible on the grounds that he/she has done something to you that is legitimately divorcible; even (or rather, especially, infidelity.)...

    Divorce, simply put

    Does Christ divorce us? No. Therefore, we must not divorce each other. That's as far as it goes. However, if your hard heart makes your marriage to your spouse more evil than living seperately, then divorce is permitted, (that is, to save the spouse from yourself.)

    The Olympics

    Ha! That's hilareous! and a great point. I'll bring the same question up the next time someone slanders Christmas. "the earth is the Lord's and everything in it" dave

    Presuppositions

    Since we're touching on it, I'd like to bring up two huge pressuppositions that influences our interpretation of what the Bible says about the Covenants. We make a disasterous mistake when we read Rom4/Gal3 and assume 1. that when Paul talks about the Law (rom4:12-16/gal 3:17-25) vs the Promise...

    Pork: The Other White Meat®

    The fact is that many foods which are clean are less healthy than others which are unclean. Ice cream for instance is less healthy than eel. If a person occasionally eats eel, but maintains a healthy life otherwise, then how can his diet be sinful? Similarly, if someone overindulges in...

    Presuppositions

    its the implication that if a text has an acceptable literal meaning, then it does not have further meaning this does not follow. on what basis does God restrict Himself to only giving a spiritual meaning to texts that don't otherwise make sense and not to passages that do in fact have a...

    What happened at work the other day

    A few years ago I lost my job, and a dispy friend of mine helped me get in at this factory he worked at. One of the neat things about my job is that alot of people from the Bible work there too! Moses, Isaiah, Peter, even Jesus! (All those, and I have to work right beside Job's wife--she's so...

    Pork: The Other White Meat®

    Why are you being so obtuse? "Food" is anything that's delicious! Like alligator, lobster, bacon, scotch whiskey, etc. Tell me this: Is cotton candy kosher? Is it healthier than all the unkosher foods? On what basis does God call some things to be clean and others unclean?

    Pork: The Other White Meat®

    The new way is in accord with the bare principle that shaped the Mosaic Code without the interferance of the literal law. Taking for instance the kashrut: where the letter says to not eat pork or reptiles or shellfish, the Spirit says eat anything, only maintain a healty diet.
