No Comments on The Prayer in face of tribulation

We find ourselves in the dawning of the Church and her separation from Judaism, defining herself as an entity created by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. The time period is after the ascension of Christ. The disciples had found themselves with the resurrected Lord, for a period of no less than forty days (Acts 1:3), sitting under His teaching and in awe that their Lord was indeed alive. He had ascended on the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:9) caught up into heaven and taken in a glorious cloud of God’s shekinah glory, and they were left listening to the words of angels comforting them that Christ would return in the same way that He left (Acts 1:10).

No Comments on The Gospel of Christ: The Problem

R.
P. Amos

This chronicle deals with man?s
need for God?s gospel. To desire the good news one must
understand the bad news. The sudden appearance of a fire truck
is not good news unless there is first the bad news of a fire.

The opening verses of Romans
1 give an overview of the gospel?s nature.

1:1 ?ORIGIN – God

1:2 ?AUTHENTICITY – prophetic
Scriptures

1:3 ?SUBJECT – God’s Son, Jesus
Christ

1:5 ?OBJECTIVE – obedience of
faith

1:5 ?SCOPE – among all nations

1:5 ?PURPOSE – for His Name

1:7 ?CAUSE – grace

1:7 ?EFFECT – peace

1:16 ?FORCE – power of God

1:16 ?PROMISE – salvation

1:16 ?CONDITION – belief (trust)
in the Lord Jesus

1:17 ?CHARACTER – righteousness
(justice) of God

In the furtherance of our understanding of Biblical judgement, we find that our logical thinking begs a question.

Well said, you may say, we are to judge but according to a proper scale and first working on ourselves. But, the critic may wonder if I am ignoring a fact that what Jesus was talking about was the obvious and not judgement. “Judgement is finding out someone?s worth” the critic may add. In fact, some others may add, there is so much danger in this that Jesus emphasized in the book of Luke (the same Sermon) not to judge.

And it is an honest question: How does a person judge the heart of another?

Recently, I followed a link into The Christian Forums. That stray click has left me lost from The Bible Archive for several weeks. After being submerged in various arguments for this time, I’ve grown tired from my lack of sleep and find that I must post some of this in the Archive. I would normally put this in the Admin’s Notebook, but it stood apart from my usual ramblings.

It has been stated, in different settings and different ways, that a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ as fulfilling Christ?s prescription to love one?s neighbor, that one is not to judge others. What has been used to support this are the very word?s of Christ Himself when speaking to His audience He told them that “Do not judge each other!”

Types of Christ in the OT: Aaron

No Comments on Types of Christ in the OT: Aaron

Jim Melough

While no spiritual mind has any difficulty seeing in Aaron a type of Christ as our Great High Priest, occupation with the larger symbolic picture sometimes causes us to miss the equally beautiful miniatures presented in the details of the larger portrait. Aaron on the Day of Atonement is one such miniature (Le 16).

In Le 16:1 we have a reference to the death of Aaron’s two sons for having acted without a divine command, reminding us of the awesome holiness of God. This is the context for the instructions that follow, ?Speak unto Aaron … that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail … that he die not…. Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place…. He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen miter shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on,? vv.2-4.
