Definitely not a joke. Natural law? Here is an example of the Christian historical explanation of "natural law" according to Thomas Aquinas. Written in the 13th century. Here is how Aquinas explained natural law in detail: 1. The Four Types of Law Aquinas did not view natural law in...

That was a very good narration of the difference between the O.T and the N.T. As far as I understand the N.T we are focused more on the church than we are on the world (society). 1 Corinthians 5:12-13 For what business of mine is it to judge outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the...

What you stated is correct as per the scripture. Next question. Will you seek the higher gifts? 1 Corinthians 12:31 But eagerly desire the greater gifts.

When I used the word "manifestation" I meant that the gifts of the Holy Spirit were active in a church. I did not mean "manifestation" in the sense that you assumed it to be. Here is what you said. They taught that the Spirit produces fruit, not spectacle. They taught that the Spirit empowers...

Sunday is not the sabbath day. I don't rest on Sunday nor does anyone I have ever known. The Jews were under covenant law (Exodus 24) to rest on the sabbath day. Gentiles are not under the law (Exodus 24) unless they are circumcised because that's what the law states. We Gentiles are under...

Do not rely on your intellect to understand the revelation of the Christ. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. It is not our Lord's desire or wish that anyone perish.

Oh yes they did OMC. 1 Corinthians 12:4:10 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the...

That test is performed according to the criteria that the apostles defined. The apostles at all times were operating under the power of the Holy Spirit. So if a church does not have the manifestation of the Holy Spirit then something is wrong. That is the criteria and is the polar opposite of...

How can anyone test whether something is supernatural or fits natural law?

It is not God's wish that anyone perish! John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through...

The same as you.

Yes. I think this reply substantially agrees with the position I gave previously, but it sharpens one important distinction: the Vulgate's influence was not merely historical; its Latin vocabulary could itself become part of the interpretive chain through which Western Christianity understood...

I will let AI have a shot at your reply. I think the passage is substantially correct, but I would qualify a few statements if the goal is historical and philological precision. What it gets right 1. “Historically invaluable” — absolutely. The Vulgate is enormously important for...

The earliest known alphabetic letters date back to around 2400 BCE, found inscribed on small finger-length clay cylinders in an ancient tomb at Tell Umm-el Marra in Syria. [1, 2] The Discovery: Excavated by archaeologists from Johns Hopkins University, these cylinders feature simple phonetic...

What's your opinion on the Vulgate?

Can you answer a simple question regarding your cooperation with our Lord under grace? Do you pray everyday without ceasing?

Israel was under the law and the Gentile nations were never given the law to obey. Your entire theology collapses on this point. Show me where in the scripture that the Lord Jesus made a covenant based on the book of the law, with any other nation? You need to support your claims with evidence.

I did read the quotation below. Acts 20:7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. On the first day of the week is beyond any debate. There is nothing...

You are correct on that point. We are a new creation in Christ and the new creation starts on a new first day (Sunday) and is eternal. We do not refer to the old creation.

His name is Jesus Christ. Please use that name and avoid using the term "God" as "God" is a generic term. The old creation was a six day event with our Lord Jesus Christ resting on the seventh day. Where you stumble is not understanding that the law was only given to Israel. Israel was...
