Marv, THE question for Christians can never about a Mosaic regulation. We end up with the Old Testament through the back door. THE question for Christians is always 'what does the revelation of God in Christ do to our preconceptions about x,y and z.…

Jande; And you did not think up this praying to saints, etc. You were taught that, and commended for doing so. They also told you that it was not idol worship, when you asked them, after reading the first commandment. Been there! Done that! the geez…

Marv replied to Jande's discussion 'ICONS'

Well, thing is, pretty much THE central Scriptural point in a discussion over the use of icons is whether the OT prohibition of the use of images in worship precludes the use of images in worship for NT believers? Whatever emotional reactions may en…

I had to think about the point that early Christians put images on the walls of the catacombs, because I want to know what the church did in the time of the apostles. (I confess my ignorance to all). Every site that I checked dates the first catacom…

Tell us about yourself

I have loved & studied theology informally since I was in my early twenties ( and that was quite some time ago!) I am restarting that endeavour as I have much to learn.

How would you describe yourself theologically?

I am theologically conservative. I believe the bible is the word of God and our standard for faith & practice.

Who is the greatest theologian in the last 2000 years? (Besides Biblical People!)

The jury is still out on that one. THREE PICTURES BELOW ARE BY OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS. I BOUGHT ONE DIGITAL IMAGE & TWO WERE GIVEN TO ME. The others are pictures I have taken. I hope you enjoy them. You may copy them & use them to God's glory, but not sell them. Thanks.

I attended Sacred Heart RC school, for two years, then moved to Mt.Morris, where I attended St Mary's RC school, another two years. I always got A's on my report card, in religion classes, 'cuz I thoroughly believed it, and correctly understood what they were teaching. So, you and I have "seen the light", and see both sides of it, while those still practicing it are still in the dark. Blessings to you from the Geezer.

I specially love the picture of the trees around the lake, very beautiful, rich in color, vibrant, and yet also peaceful. I love the quiet strength of tree. Choosing a scripture is harder, there are so many I love with my whole heart, but the one that comes to mind right now is from Psalm 19:14 "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer."

This is such an unnexpected, kind-hearted and generous gift, am still a bit bowled over. Thank you dear Jande, grace and peace to you.

At 5:09pm on August 29, 2009, Jack said…: My impression of this pastor (and many others) is that He is insecure, and unprepared to answer any criticism. And many churches dumbly follow these "leaders", and don't follow Biblical instruction. In fact, when they change pastors, they also accept contradictory, unbiblical doctrines, without question. Sheep, following unfaithful shepherds.

At 9:40pm on August 27, 2009, Jack said…: Jande; I just noticed that you are a female from Indiana.
In 1980, I led a young lady from Ft. Wayne, IN, to Christ.
About 10 years ago, she moved, and probobly has a cell phone, and lost contact, at that time. I consider my "daughter" in Christ.
I have tried reunion sites and other searches, with no results.
She is about your age. Her name is Tamara K. Norton. Is there a way you could check some phone books, and see if you can find her name?

At 9:26pm on August 27, 2009, Jack said…: Jande; many differences of understanding arise in these discussions, partly because God has not taught each of us all the same things, and in the same order. Some are babes, some semi-mature, and some more mature. None of us has complete understanding of what God has revealed. But we may rest assured that the Holy Spirit will never teach contradictory things. Many of the things we think we know or understand, were not taught us by His Spirit, but by men, or our own "natural" understanding, or even by an un-holy spirit. God teaches us line upon line, precept upon precept..Isa 28:10. Some precepts cannot be understood until we learn some underlying or supporting precept. Or until God eliminates strongly held erreoneous opinions that prevent our correct understanding of scripture.
I assume that we all have more to learn, and some to share.
Blessings to you. Jack, the Geezer
