Evan... I want to be snarky and condescending to you like all the rest. But that won't help. I don't think this meeting is a good idea for some reasons. But here is my advice: Give the gospel! You know basically what the RCCs will disagree with. Focus on that. Don't argue. Just be passionate...

Expanded translations are not pure commentary. This is the mistake with the idea of a literal translation. These expanded translations in fact are simply adding in the syntactical features that are not usually conveyed in other translations b/c they don't read as smoothly. For example, a present...

This is why I love SEBTS so much. Every time they have a major conference on a textual issue (they did this for the ending of Mark), they turn it into a good book! This looks like it could be good! Check it out!!!

I so detest IFB preaching. He couldn't make it 15 mins. in the first sermon w/out mention how great a scholar he is b/c he looked something up in Strong's concordance. And it was OT moralism as if the OT was simply there to give us examples of how to live moral lives. They point to Jesus!!!

Since Jews didn't think in terms of "going to heaven when you die", then you can check that one off your list. As JonC pointed out, Ezekiel 36 and its entire context refers to the New Covenant and resurrection as involved with the kingdom.

Shut up, Rev.... and be nicer!!!!!!!!

And the vast majority of commentators agree with this view from Ezekiel 36. That doesn't make it right... that just makes it probably right.

1) It was a great movie... so absolutely! 2) It was just a meme!!! The movie itself wasn't being advertised! 3) You just pulled a rabbit, derailing this thread! You are guilty of your own favorite accusation.

This view is actually consistent with the view I mentioned about being an allusion to Ezekiel 36:25ff. Being cleansed with water and given a new Spirit is probably synonymous there too.

It is more of a knock on your inconsistent theology. Those messages may very well be great. But match it with your theology.

So you don't believe in the efficacy of the Spirit's work in people (irresistible grace)... but if you just listen to these messages... abra ca dabra... no more nominal Christian.

I think you guys are trying to hard on this one. Most scholars agree, this is an allusion to Ezekiel 36 and the New Covenant blessings... thus Nic should've known about this as Jesus said. Eze 36:24 I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into...

Then one wonders why you advocate it so?

That post was over a year old. So forgive me if I don't understand your objection. Care to elaborate?

Yikes! And another one bites the dust.

It depends where you go and the strength of you MA. Some places are more flexible with their MDiv equivalency. You may not need to do the entire 90+ credit program to be accepted in a ThM program.

So now I remember why revwmc is defending slidell... he has a "ThM" and a "ThD" from them. Course load: Master of Theology The Master of Theology is composed of thirty (30) credit hours above the Bachelor’s degree. These credit hours are composed of ten (10) courses. The student may select the...

I'm calling you out on that. What bachelors class did you have 5,000 pages of reading, a 30 page research paper (publishable in a reputable journal, mind you, which mine did), 2 ppt presentations to teach the class (which was its own set of reading; mine was on 4 Ezra and the Testament of the...

One for every class I took. For the PhD seminars I did for the ThM, there were extra projects and presentations as well. For one class, I had to do 3 book "interactions" each 10 pages long, 2 powerpoint presentations for the entire class, and a long research paper. That doesn't count the...

My situation was quite different than most. I did an M.A. and started a Ph.D. I dropped out of the program a quarter of the way through b/c the lack of rigor and theological change I was experiencing. So getting an MDiv equivalency required only 2 Greek exegesis classes since I did so much Greek...
