Evan####, I'm just proud of you for linking a book to amazon for us. Way to go!!!

Again, I appreciated the sage advice from all of you, friends. I really do.

Not sure what you mean by an "old baptist", but it came from his book God is the Gospel.

Nail on the head... I was published in the Journal of Dispensational Theology... twice! :tonofbricks:

Wow... I was not expecting such an overwhelming tendency towards one direction. Thanks so much to everyone. You all have convinced me to keep my originally published name.

So I have published some theological articles in journals. These articles are views that I no longer hold. I am about to have another article published, and I have been considering changing my authorship name. It was First name, middle initial, last name. I was thinking of changing it to first...

I have a son!!! Sorry to derail the thread. But I had to get my mind off of not being w/ my wife during the process.

I don't think it is a textual variant... just a translational choice. But I could be wrong... my wife is in labor and having a baby as I type this!!!! (not allowed in the room)

I think so much error can be built around prepositions. To give them such rigid and hard/fast uses will lead to bad interpretations, imo. At most, I think prepositions simply answer questions like "who" or "when" or "where" or "how" etc. "The book is on (where?) the table." "The note came from...

That is what is happening to my alma mater... same exact thing... down to the name. Piedmont Baptist College to Piedmont International University. I'm not complaining b/c I'm not a fundie. But my school is on its way out I suspect. I give it 10 years.

Not that it will matter much in the discussion, but part of this question must be how much neo-platonic dualism has influenced our theology. We are so oriented to think of a natural and supernatural world, that people speak of the soul or spirit in those terms. I don't even know what tripartite...

So was Northland struggling financially and enrollment down? Is that why they just gave away their campus as a "gift"? I'm not complaining. But this sounds like a sugar coated turd. Everything on the outside is sweet, but when you dig deeper, you end up with a load of crap.

He is only saying that since post-reformation it has been misunderstood. But that shouldn't be that surprising... the reformation was against a 1,100 misunderstanding. We are only talking about 400 years.

"multiply" doesn't have to be taken literally as a math term. The word just means to make more... babies. There is no biblical mandate for large families.

This is why I don't talk about NT WRight w/ anyone here (anymore). They tend to only know second hand or third hand "info" about him. They don't offer sources b/c they by and large have not read him or heard him. It is a tiresome enterprise to defend him here.

Isn't that the idea of being transferred from the dominion of Satan to the kingdom of Jesus; Col. 1:13? We were under Satan, in league w/ Satan as Eph. 2:2-3 says, and blinded by the god of this world (Satan)? But God...

And how about Gen. 3:15 and the offspring of the serpent?

Eph 2:1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins Eph 2:2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— Joh 8:44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to...

Rom 8:10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Rom 8:11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his...

Rom 8:23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
