    Is Israel still the Promised Land?

    Theo I really like your identification with the LORD Jesus Christ - this is the Evangelical approach to being identified with the LORD Jesus Christ: Philippians 3:10-14 10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming...

    Is Israel still the Promised Land?

    Theo What I would accept from the Eastern Orthodox are challenges to the Evangelicals on: 1. The Call to Humility BUT within a GODLY balance. 2.The Sobernost or Catholicity or Corporate Anointing of and on the Church and the need for a greater Corporate Life. Love. Mark

    Is Israel still the Promised Land?

    Theo, I want to discuss my approach to Apophatics separately: These are my notes - I leave them with you: When Jacob at Peniel clung to Jesus - He just clung on - I mean his hip was wrenched and he was finished and he just clung to HUGENESS AND VASTNESS and then he looked into HIS eyes and...

    Is Israel still the Promised Land?

    Theo This is the Evangelical Response: We agree. However, Scripture is Evangelical Truth BUT I am NOT saying that Eastern Orthodoxy does not possess Evangelical Truth, it does and it is certainly manifested in the person of Father Thomas Hopko who is a GREAT LIGHT! and I can see it...

    Is Israel still the Promised Land?

    Which end of the Glass are you looking from? This is all a question of perspective - what seems chaotic on one level of perception assumes an implicate order and coherence from a different level of perception.

    Is Israel still the Promised Land?

    What makes us not the Church Etide? The Church does not divide the saints. The Church does not dethrone the Saviour through dividing the saints. The Church does not make the Gospel of no effect through dividing the saints. The Church does not practise closed Communion in engaging...

    Is Israel still the Promised Land?

    It is not a mystery to all those who proclaim, declare and accept Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour. It only becomes mysterious when views outside of Scripture are adopted to define exactly who is in the Church.

    Is Israel still the Promised Land?

    How Christ has broken down the wall between Israel and the gentiles and the two have become one, that the gentiles are "fellow" citizens. Do the Messianic Jews accept the claims of the Eastern Orthodox Church?

    Why Are So Many Christians Angry At the Jews?

    Replacement theology is reactionary rubbish.

    Is Israel still the Promised Land?

    I loved the John Clare in Syd Barrett and that English Romanticism with that ever attendant sense of surreal madness and eccentricity. 1967/1968 was a fascinating milieu with Arthur Brown and Pink Floyd and the old EMI harvest label artists.

    Why Are So Many Christians Angry At the Jews?

    This could become very volatile as it suggests in part 'replacement theology'. I strongly recommend a careful and slow reading of Romans: Chapters 9 to 11 in understanding who are "all Israel" and the real prophetic intentionality and meaning of the fulfillment of Scripture, the Covenant and...

    Is Israel still the Promised Land?

    The interesting thing about Pink Floyd and UmmaGumma was that in drinking Scotch! Neat! Roger Waters had a brilliant sense of timing - he was not so much playing an instrument as playing the band. This led to the later difficulties and pressures in the Band - particularly with Dave Gilmour...

    Is Israel still the Promised Land?

    One of the effects of drinking Scotch! neat! on these forums is increasing incoherence: More tea, Vicar said the Mad Hatter?

    Is Israel still the Promised Land?

    The ecclesiology of the Orthodox Church is a collectivist prelacy camouflaged as reasonable episcopy. As for the Scotch I know the hand shaking is just shape making. If this post is dryer than a dry martini in the Sahara than consider that to be temperance.

    Does the Holy Spirit lead us into all the truth?

    I can see HIS strength in YOU - denominations will flee away and all this will pass - BUT - the inheritance is YOURS.
