Frank P. Spinella Jr. posted a discussion"God has made him both Lord and Messiah"
Pentecost has me thinking of Simon Peter’s proclamation that “God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified.” I wonder how the Jews who were converted that day understood his word “Lord.” Most Jews in his audience would have understood the word as a synonym for Yahweh (Psalm 110:1 aside), would they not? And if so, does that not make Simon Peter's comment a bit unintelligible to a first-century monotheist?See More

Maurice Edwards posted a discussionDo You "Know" Jesus?
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!
Maurice Edwards replied to Maurice Edwards's discussion "Why Do We Argue With People About Things We Can Only Believe?""Your analogy of knowing your dad and knowing Jesus is quite interesting. As "believers" we are admonished to believe" in" or "on" the Lord Jesus. The gospel doesn't call for us to "know" Jesus like we…"
Peter John Ellway replied to Maurice Edwards's discussion "Why Do We Argue With People About Things We Can Only Believe?""first of all, believing is not knowing, and "knowing" can mean all sort of different things.

David Oldham replied to Maurice Edwards's discussion "Why Do We Argue With People About Things We Can Only Believe?""PJE,
You place a distinction between believing and knowing. For example I know my dad, so I believe in him. Likewise I know Jesus, so I believe in him. So what is the distinction in such situations? There comes a point in time where a…"

David Oldham replied to Maurice Edwards's discussion "Why Do We Argue With People About Things We Can Only Believe?""PJE,
I guess we can we believe, as children, in what we don't know. Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. But would you call holding a belief in something because we know of that in which we believe?

Robert Atwood replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"But Peter, you were truly present on the "written page" -- a sort of electro-digital transubstantiation. Phil should take note of that because it may be useful later.

Peter John Ellway replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"No, I am not really here - the Messiah must be everywhere and nowhere.: Any sociological analysis looks to be cynicism from the POV of those studied; herewith a major tenet of Ellwayism.

Peter John Ellway replied to Maurice Edwards's discussion "Why Do We Argue With People About Things We Can Only Believe?""going back to the OP, it has just occurred to me that is just because we only BELIEVE rather than know that we argue.

Peter John Ellway replied to Ann Sam's discussion Why does bad things happen to good people"OK, I suppose your YEC beliefs do kind of help you out over atheistic (or rather antitheist) arguments like mine.
