St Peter

nasb
Act 10:25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshiped him.
Act 10:26 But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up; I too am just a man."



Quite the contrast between what rome claims of Pete and what he thought of himself...as well as what most of rome thinks of her popes and what the popes think of themselves.

Again, the context is the culteral context: You cannot do away with that.

That is: What did "the keys" represent to first century Jews.

Which only makes what I stated to be more pointed to the revelation of Peter and NOT Jesus giving Peter keys to anything. It is the revelation of Jesus Christ; revelational truth of God's Christ to be seen as the key the Jews must understand that will unlock their thinking..

You mustnunderstand that Peter was not born again when he received his revelation. This makes it possible for the Jews to also see it if they would apply themselves to Jesus, which they didn't.

And I highly recommend this ageless book.



Ultimate Intention

By Devern Fromke

Price: $7.50 | Pages: 239
ISBN: 0-936595-02-7

This classic has finally been reprinted and not a moment too soon! Every believer will be deeply impressed by a thorough reading of DeVern Fromke's classic setting forth the importance of God-centeredness for the normal Christian life. Beginning with an unfolding of God's eternal purpose which He purposed for Himself in eternity past, the various chapters set forth the importance of a God-centered view of reality as the only environment nurturing proper spiritual growth. It is not an exaggeration to say that this volume has radically altered many people's understanding of the Christian life, lifting it beyond the pale of "self-interest" and into the only realm it was intended to be lived--with God as Center! This new reprint includes a study guide and can be used for personal or group study. We highly recommend using it to spur spiritual growth in your church.
The author considers these critical questions:

• In the beginning, before God created Adam (mankind), what was His original purpose and plan for him?

• What could have happened in the Garden of Eden if Adam had not sinned and God's redemptive plan had not become necessary?

• We know that when God created Adam he received natural life, but how did God plan for Adam to receive Divine (uncreated) life? What is the difference between God's creating and begetting work?

• It is evident that god has given the Cross a central place in His redemptive working; what is the differenece between the work of the Cross and the way of the Cross?

• Since God in the fulness of time will put on display His Divine masterpiece before all the universe, how can we fully cooperate with Him if we do not understand His ultimate intention?
