    Birth of the New Testament Church

    Birth of the New Testament Church

    Found this that should help you, I do not remember if in some of the articles somewhere in the site I read about the issue: http://www.godglorified.com/eusebius.htm From above, most of Eusebius writings support the rendering of "in my name", just as the supposedly Hebrew Matthew has it. Hope...

    Birth of the New Testament Church

    My bad Wansvic, I read it somewhere when taking a Mobile ed course certificate dealing precisely with the Bible and textual criticism. At the time I did not pay attention to it, then talking to other believers in the now discontinued Christian Discourse site, pieces started to come together. In...

    Birth of the New Testament Church

    We are exploring issues underlying the thread topic: Question: In Circumcision you had to cut the whole fold in OT according to the requirements... If someone in good conscience cut 99% of it, because of some alleged reason someone allowed to enter in their texts, would that make the person...

    Birth of the New Testament Church

    Yes I understand what you are trying to say. But the originator of the thread (in my understanding) was trying to highlight the fact that if Peter has the keys to the Kingdom, and if he was prompted by the Holy Spirit to give a very particular formula for complying with one of the requirements...

    Birth of the New Testament Church

    Hi JaumeJ: I am not an expert, but studying a bit there is a problem in the issue: The field of textual criticism uses in general two methodologies to try to get to the truth of the matter. Internal evidence and external evidence. When you use both, you gain a better idea of the most likely...

    How should a Christian view socialism?

    Yes Biblelover Bill, there are a lot of changes that are needed to try to improve the present situation, unfortunately, people do not organize, do not believe in their own Christian responsibility to walk in good deeds in gratitude of a free gift of salvation that expands the Kingdom of God and...

    Yoga - Why do Christians think it's bad?

    I respect your opinion. I myself disagree. Note from the answer I gave to other poster: Answer to another poster: " We are in the same wavelength. The power of God and His Holy Spirit is where it is at. But to me that power is sent from above to spiritualize matter (just the way it was in the...

    Yoga - Why do Christians think it's bad?

    Thanks for the resource recommendation. Is not available in electronic format, is there any other similar available in electronic format that you know of? We are in the same wavelength. The power of God and His Holy Spirit is where it is at. But to me that power is sent from above to...

    How should a Christian view socialism?

    At the micro level, individual families should set up an Aquaponic system, in which small to medium fish tanks are fitted with a solar power pump so that the ammonia polluted water is transferred to an area where biofilm turns the ammonia into fertilizer for the vegetables to be fed in a...

    How should a Christian view socialism?

    Nice write up. Some points that I think are important and maybe can complement the writing. Economy driving history? from the secular point of view maybe a contributing factor, but I think that from the human side, the rebellion against God. By trying to operate outside God's presence...

    You are welcome, glad to have been of help. TKD is great, the training methodology is very good. What I try to do is also apply a similar methodology to punching, elbowing, kneeing, and the like. There are better protective helmets that are used in self defense class, and better chest...

    Hi Magenta, God bless. Did you do the art yourself? what program (app) did you use? Have you thought of making christian comics? I do not know if there are christian comics, but I think there should be. Kind regards.

    New to forums, interested in systematic theology, christian living n keeping in shape.

    The system to choose depends on your interest and your physical composition. As a rough guide, in Kung fu, the grandfather of all martial arts the split is in two major schools: Northern systems (were people were tall, athletic and lean), tended to systems more like 70% kicking and 30% hand...

    Yoga - Why do Christians think it's bad?

    I see the point you make, but I think that certain parts of the physical components are useful: And you do not get the stretch, stabilization strength, balance, etc. doing other kind of exercises. Redeem the bad part of culture: check all, and retain what is good. No to meditation...

    Yoga - Why do Christians think it's bad?

    I started researching more about the yoga thing. I do see some problems with the framework used to analyze it. Yoga may be describing a physical / ethereal reality, that exists as is, and cannot be denied. I think this part we must study and learn more about it. The part that seems problematic...

    Yoga - Why do Christians think it's bad?

    I have not practiced yoga formally so I do not know if is devil worship (maybe indirectly if worshipping the sun and the like). Now remember that different traditions have different outlooks. I do like some of the thoughts in Baptist mission work: They see themselves (at least the outreach...

    I understand. Supposedly cardio helps keep testosterone down. I found out that in many dojos (training places), there were always some very eager to compete, and be aggressive, and the like. Thanks to my Christian background, I have a different approach. The enemy is not your training partner...

    Most Christians are ignorant of Gods word concerning diet and lifestyle

    Yes Hungry, right on. I read a very interesting article about programming. The person writing it had a very good point: Who do you turn to for programming guidance when there are multiple goals (e.g. Flexibility, strength, conditioning, cardio, power, endurance, stamina, etc.). The answer...
