Doctrine of the Separated Life

feeds@yuku.com (Perisseuo) — Thu, 08 May 2008 21:00:53 GMT

Vos' article on the doctrine of the separated life is quite exhaustive and a good overall treatment on the subject. I have a question and an observation that I would like to get others opinions in fleshing it out.

First the question. Did Vos bypass Romans 14:23 and what is the meaning of it. I don't recall him referencing the verse though he references the verses around it in the same passage. "But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from...

Galatian theories

feeds@yuku.com (Perisseuo) — Mon, 05 May 2008 12:53:20 GMT

Sorry, I forget much of the detail but which of the two theories - the southern theory or the northern theory - in the dating of the book Galatians does most of the conservative biblical scholars ascribe. I was thinking it was mostly a slam dunk for the southern position until someone I respect mentioned that their are conservatives on both sides of the argument.

For Ramclaughlin (and others): Magic in games and Christian involvement

feeds@yuku.com (AustinBrown2) — Sat, 03 May 2008 21:38:00 GMT

Many months ago, maybe even several years, I discussed the subject of magic in video games and Magic the Gathering with RA and others. I appreciated the advice and wisdom I received, so I'm coming back for more, but with maybe a tougher presentation.

Tell me if you understand that God gets angry with us sometimes

feeds@yuku.com (earl40) — Sat, 03 May 2008 18:22:39 GMT

I am on another board and no one seems to understand that The Lord can get angry with us when we sin. Seeing this is generally a reformed board what is your take on this issue?

If you take exception explain what God "was" when He wanted to kill Moses.

New Covenant terminology in the NT

feeds@yuku.com (Perisseuo) — Fri, 02 May 2008 10:38:03 GMT

We see 'New Covenant' used quite a bit in the NT. Most Reformed believers see their being two covenants - works and grace. The Covenant of Grace starting at Genesis 3:15. So what all does the word, 'new covenant' entail when used in the NT, and what does it not mean as interpreted by some?

Missionary Methods, St. Paul's or Ours? by Roland Allen

Is anyone familiar with this book? What would be the author's strategy as oppose to current though in doing missionary work?

A Call to Separation

feeds@yuku.com (Perisseuo) — Thu, 01 May 2008 08:36:19 GMT

Pink's article gave an idea of being 'unequal yoke' that I haven't thought of before. That is the church we attend. Although it may be difficult in setting a firm rule of when a church becomes an 'unequal yoke', what would be some of reasons that a church would fall into that category? On the flip side, what would be some reasons that we may ascribe to a church being 'unequal yoke' but in actuality not being so?

Chialism and pre-millennial

feeds@yuku.com (Perisseuo) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:50:54 GMT

Historical pre-millennialism doctrine differs from dispensational pre-millennialism in several ways. In several aspects of eschatology Historical pre-mill resembes that of both a-mill and post-mill whereas dispensational pre-mill differs completely.

Is Chialism closer in doctrine to Historical Pre-mills or Dispensational pre-mills?

Descending into Hell - Apostle's Creed

feeds@yuku.com (Perisseuo) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 09:56:19 GMT

Since most in the pews take the phase, "descending into Hell", literally when citing the Apostle's Creed, should churches remove that phrase from the creed, add a footnote, or replace the Apostle's Creed citation with another one?

I know of someone when learned that it is not meant to be taken literally wants the Session to take one of the three above actions.

Any trends in SS education

feeds@yuku.com (Perisseuo) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:43:56 GMT

My church has been discussing changing its SS. Maybe move the worship service away from the 11 o'clock hour to 9 or 9:30. Have a time of fellowship after the morning worship and keep one adult SS class for the seniors. Then move the rest of the SS to Wednesday evening. On Sunday evenings we will have small groups in various locations where people are concentrated. Is that a trend and has it been proven to work. A couple of churches I'm familiar with has tried various ways and they...

The Christ in culture book review

feeds@yuku.com (Perisseuo) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 08:32:28 GMT

John Barber, Ph.D., in his new book, The Road from Eden, Studies in Christianity and Culture, has written a masterful 566-page work concerning Christ in culture. More culturally definitive than Augustine's, City of God, and more current than Richard Niebuhr's, Christ and Culture, Barber reveals the redemptive-cultural Christ of history.

Joe, so you like this book. That's a pretty big statement about it being more...

Law - Civic, Ceremonial, and Moral

feeds@yuku.com (Perisseuo) — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 10:06:02 GMT

Although I have nothing specific from Anderson's article, Law - Civic, Ceremonial, and Moral, it makes me ask this question which I felt was unclear. The moral law is wider than just the 10 Commandments, isn't it? Even the general-applied principles found throught the whole of the OT and NT are included in the makeup of the moral law.

Btw, the article didn't say much about the Civic or Ceremonial law except to say they are no longer in effect. The article is...

Hyper-calvinism

feeds@yuku.com (Perisseuo) — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 09:44:41 GMT

In Jim Ellis' article What is Hyper-Calvinism, he points out the primary two erros in hyper-calvinism as "a denial of duty-faith and a denial of the universal call of the gospel". While those may be the two that originally brought about the term, hyper-calvinism, I thought the rejection of common grace was one of the big bug-a-boo's with hyper-calvinism along with the rejection of the 'general call'. The neglect of common grace leads them to mis-portray God...
