David Oldham replied to Maurice Edwards's discussion Spirit Led VS Emotions"Maurice,
I need to put this in cartoon terms. Our flesh listens to the devil perched on one shoulder and our conscience the angel on the other. So the tricky part, to me, is learning to listen for the still small voice. The devil appealing to our…"
Peter John Ellway replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"the problem is that while Canaanite society may have been "corrupt" I doubt that we would regard this as sufficient justification for genocide - or maybe you would?

Maurice Edwards posted a discussionSpirit Led VS Emotions
Many Christians quote, "don't be led by your emotions, be led by the spirit". How do you separate the two? Keep Galatians 5 in mind!
Addai posted a discussionPastoral Care Litmus Test
I was going to make this part of the ongoing Mega church discussion but decided to open it up to anyone else that wanted to answer it. Around 96-98 I was enrolled in a program at Fuller Theological Seminary. It was a master's of Divinity, that emphasized "Pastoral Care and Counseling" as a specialization. (I however never completed the degree). Anyway the degree required 1 year of supervision with a senior pastor, with a 1 hour a week counseling review session with the pastor each week…See More

Robert Atwood replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"Peter wrote, "Anyway, I will for now suggest "God does not love us" as a possibly more obviously meaningful replacement for "God is evil": not a self-contradiction for you, I imagine - I wonder what James…"
Tyrone Flanagan replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs" Dear David, My comment here is a bit out of sequence, but Eusebius' History of the Church is also a valuable and fascinating account of persecution in the church up to the time of Constantine. It obviously doesn't have a…"
Addai replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"Cool I'll have to check him out! (Hugh Ross so far has been the only apologist I've got some good mileage out of when dealing with atheists. So it would be nice to have more sources to use.)"
Addai replied to Frank P. Spinella Jr.'s discussion "God has made him both Lord and Messiah""Technically it would have made him a "minim" (heretic).

Robert Atwood replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"In America (at least), there has been some research that appears to show that a certain kind of thinking tends to provide a disproportionately large number of innovations and advances. This kind of thinking has been dubbed…"
Phil James replied to Frank P. Spinella Jr.'s discussion "God has made him both Lord and Messiah""Frank said: Would Simon Peter's listeners have concluded that God "made" Jesus Lord of the World, or that Jesus was always Lord of the World, and simply declared (rather than appointed) such at his resurrection?
This is…"
Peter John Ellway replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"thanks, I had forgotten this post from Chad Gibbons. It seems to me that Craig simply tramples on, rather than answering, the "dilemma" (probably this is the wrong word - it is a choice, and one of the choices is IMO perfectly valid…"
Frank P. Spinella Jr. replied to Frank P. Spinella Jr.'s discussion "God has made him both Lord and Messiah""I like it! Thanks, James. Useful insight.
Paul suggests that no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit. The Pentecost converts who bought into that concept may well have done so gradually."
JRKH replied to Frank P. Spinella Jr.'s discussion "God has made him both Lord and Messiah""Frank - If I may butt in here...I think that your focus on this one phrase, while certainly interesting, might be too narrow. This phrase may have had very little impact on the "average Jewish visitor" that day given the totality…"
Peter John Ellway replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"obviously any opinion is just that, a personal opinion. I am a bit surprised to hear that a practising Xian claims not to know what evil is and states that "God is evil" is meaningless - does that mean that "God is good" is also…"
Peter John Ellway replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"I have a hunch that linearity is something applied retrospectively, and that most insights are to an extent (and maybe by definition) non-linear (we know that many scientific discoveries arise from accidents such as carelessness). Someone has an…"

Do You "Know" Jesus?
Started by Maurice Edwards in Theology (General). Last reply by David Oldham 1 minute ago. 9 Replies 0 Likes
Inspired by my last discussion. We're called by the gospel to believe in and on the Lord Jesus. We're called "believers". But many Christians claim to "know" Jesus. Elaborate!
