David Oldham replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"I agree. However there are Christians that are still being murdered for their faith and those who are responsible have made it clear that there is no reasoning with them.
"
Tyrone Flanagan replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs" Dear David, Foxe did use some material from Eusebius, but Eusebius' history includes first accounts of how the ancient church resolved disputes by taking issues to the church on a small scale. One of those maccounts was the schism…"
Jason commented on Scott's blog post The Church Did Not Begin at Pentecost"Scott,
This is old, but here is a piece I wrote several years ago.
Being in the Landmark Baptist heritage, I wrote it from a different angle; but I think we agree very much."

JRKH replied to Maurice Edwards's discussion Spirit Led VS Emotions"Fair enough David... I think we can chalk this up to 1) being on a Christian board and my making certain assumptions and 2) a difference in expression - since I did talk about being conformed to Jesus - to Christ.
But little matter....The…"
Maurice Edwards replied to Maurice Edwards's discussion Spirit Led VS Emotions"Was this woman a Christian at the time? If she was, I guarantee you her emotions and the Spirit were active at the time. Which one she chose to follow is the issue. I still say you can't separate emotions and Spirit. I believe the Spirit is…"
Robert Atwood replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"I have also been seriously considering retiring from this forum. For quite some time I have noticed that almost every thread eventually ends up fussing about one or another of a very small set of issues. That sort of thing may be…"
David Oldham replied to Maurice Edwards's discussion Spirit Led VS Emotions"James,
You didn't mention Christ as our sure foundation to keep us secure through the storms, which are good at getting at our emotions.

JRKH replied to Maurice Edwards's discussion Spirit Led VS Emotions"Thanks David.
You say "very nearly"... I'd be interested in where you think I might have missed, or omitted something - or maybe where you might have phrased something differently.
Peace
James"
David Oldham replied to Maurice Edwards's discussion Spirit Led VS Emotions"You nearly describe building our foundation upon a rock.

David Oldham replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"PJE,
Have I got news for you. Pope Francis says atheists can do good and go to heaven too!
Doesn't that make you feel better?

Peter John Ellway replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"very wise reply as usual, Robert - I had almost hoped for some friendly "spat" with you over Euthyphro, as I find it fascinating and important; and, while we both studied philosophy, you, unlike me, were clearly capable of making a career…"
Char replied to Addai's discussion Pastoral Care Litmus Test"Sounds like it's just a modified preceptorship. I actually think it should exist for every profession, so that you learn what it's really like. I learned more in my first preceptorship than in the previous three years combined.

Spirit 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!

Do You "Know" Jesus?
Started by Maurice Edwards in Theology (General). Last reply by Maurice Edwards yesterday. 12 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!
