    'First Principles' Course Recommendations?

    Curious which 'First Principles' Courses ministers are using, and why? Are they 'home-grown' or purchased? How many weeks long? Series or ndividual (ie. 101, 102, 103,...) Pros vs. Cons? TIA

    An interesting quote.

    The only defence Chilton needs here is from the charges made due to misunderstanding of terms. I will try once more to scale the boundaries of language. You originally called this quote (and Chilton) sick. Apparently, your reasoning went as follows: #A1: The God of the OT system of...

    Evangelion - You abviously do not recognize the vast difference between the OT and it's system of worship as initiated by God and the Talmudic, Rabbinical, form of modern, "orthodox" Judaism. The Talmud actually places itself above the OT scriptures in importance and the obedience it...

    Rev. 10:6

    Jenlu - Got a chance to look it up, and yep, according to Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, "chronos" means 'a space of time', whether short or long. Vine's also has a note under the word 'DELAY' stating "In Rev. 10:6, chronos is translated 'delay' in the R.V. margin and...

    Rev. 10:6

    Jenlu - I will need to look up the greek "chronos" to refresh my memory here, but, I believe that as the angel saying, "Time's Up"! "No more Delay"! Time had run out for that rebellious generation to repent and their judgment and the believer's vindication was imminent. God was MORE than...

    Evangelion - You said you agree with David on this point - "those who do not believe in christ do not believe in the Old Testament". DG: To carry out this thought, then you must agree that Judaism does not really believe the OT , since it rejects Christ as Messiah. Use of the OT does...

    An interesting quote.

    I think it is important to differentiate between an OT believer and one who follows Rabbinical (man-made) schools of thought during the time of Christ or today. OT worship is usually not referred to as Judaism. The Jews (religious leaders) altered the OT worship which, according to Jesus, made...

    Evangelion, We all have our understanding 'tainted' by our background. I am not a Theonomic Reconstructionist but I can still follow his reasoning(s).

    Evangelion, at risk of copywrite laws... a fuller quote: Therefore, Iwill cause those of the synagogues of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but lie - behold, I will make then to come and bow down at your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Again the apostate Jews are...

    An interesting quote.

    Evangelion, The quote (page 127 in his book) may appear sick when read outside of the context. However david is then commenting on the letter to the church of Philadelphia. In that letter, God says... I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but lie...

    The Gap Theory

    Lucaspa, the phrase 'moved' in each of these passages is a poetic expression of speech. I Chron. 16:30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. Ps. 93:1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith...

    The Gap Theory

    Sampo, Gen. 1 says that the firmament was created and placed to divide between the waters above and below. That is talking about an atomsphere, not the cosmos and distant galaxies. So the water and air of day two prepare an anvironment for the fish and birds on day 5. The majority of...

    can anyone think of a scripture to base this on??

    Jay, how about the end of Heb. 4? i.e. coming boldly before the throne of grace. A good way of presenting this is to ask, "What do we have to do to be able to enter into His presence (in prayer). The answer is ALL that we need is just a 'NEED'. If we have a need, that's all that we need...

    The Flood

    Seesaw, sounds like an honest question. Not only would salt water 'fishies' die in fresh water, but fresh water animals would die in salt water, too! However, I'm not so certain that all that water falling would automatically mean there was a dispersion of salt, resulting in an even...
