Ha... I beat you to in in my post... but so glad to see someone else "get it". Good on ya, mate!

#1 especially has to be ex cathedra as if you are the only one who does rely on Scripture. It stinks in here.

True Christianity til the last couple hundred years never really cared about heaven. Their focus was new creation and resurrection. Who cares about heaven? I want resurrection. I want new creation where this world, THIS WORLD, is renewed. I don't want to live w/ God in heaven. I want what...

Whole hearted agreement with this post answering the OP.

I'm basing this on the OP. I don't know what you and yours do.

How do you take the advice of Jesus to buy a sword? Was he being figurative here or literal (or something else?)? Literal is hard to sustain b/c 2 swords for 11 men won't help much and later Jesus rebukes Peter using a sword. But I know our gun toting right wingers like to fall back on this...

I love how the OP was derailed from the very get go... by the OPer himself no less. Another useless thread.

Couple things: I don't believe the NPP people put the word "new" in front of it. They talk about this as if they are rediscovering something that was lost. That brings me to the second point, they don't accuse the church throughout history as being wrong, just the church from the time of the...

I don't think anyone in the NPP camp actually believes it to be "new". The link I gave is to lectures! If you want his book on this, then read Justifcation.

I was quite crass in my post. I apologize and ask your forgiveness. It just frustrates me to no end that people who criticize him and his view have read very little of him but only what others say about him. That is not genuine. But my tone and etiquette was unacceptable. Sorry. A book...

Can you explain his view using/quoting/citing his own words; explain what you disagree with in your own words; and offer a refutation in your own words? Don't just tell me what his view is, show me where he says it. Explain his view to me. I dare you. I have yet to see someone on here who...

You need to read him for yourself. You are pathetic... you always go to other people. You never form your own opinions. Your views are weak b/c they are not yours. You can't own your view against Wright b/c you don't know his view. You've not read him. So sad.

Why the need? It really isn't, not in the true sense of what a college is. Colleges confer degrees and titles. Why would a sunday school teacher need a degree and piece of paper that says bachelors of such and such if not just to feed the flesh with titles. Now if they were entering the...

False: "education beyond the secondary level [that is high school btw]; especially: education provided by a college or university" http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/higher%20education As for the diploma... I guess a church can hand those out, although I hear diploma I think of...

A church's duty!!!

I like how you mess up at the very beginning after saying you can't mess it up. Justification is not Sola Fide. And Wright et al believes that justification is by faith. You are just disagreeing w/ his concept or definition of justification. I have yet to meet a Wright-hater who can...

If those "bible colleges" are for the lay people at all... then why call it a college where a degree is involved. Is that not serving the flesh? I like the idea of the church training its own leaders for service and ministry. Call it what you like. But advertising it as an institution of...

If it was freesundayschoollessons, he studied at Detroit BTS not Dallas TS. So he did not study w/ Dan Wallace.

I think soteriologically they are. They are the indie baptist version of MacArthur.

It is interesting how much our theology goes in to exegeting this one word used in 2 Tim 3:16. "The giving of Holy Scriptures was virtually a one-time event..." is just one of many examples that this thread has provided.
