Comment on How Jesus Confronted and Corrected Others by Nick Batzig

Nick Batzig — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:29:55 +0000

Right! Then you say, “Well, Paul did the same thing too!” To which they reply, “You’re not an apostle.” So, on and on it goes.

Good thing there aren’t people who say something like:

“Only Jesus could do that. And you’re not Jesus!”

I don’t doubt that in Nicey nice world, sorry evangelical circles, the man from Nazareth would be severely castigated. After all who could cope with a bloke so committed to truth. Certainly not people who have a ‘comments closed’ approach to controversy.

Thanks Nick for this article. The simple application of Paul’s statement using the many Biblical examples of believers’ sins is very effective. The Lord helped you with this one.

Comment on Exile and Restoration in the Death and Resurrection of Christ by Steve M

Steve M — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 18:36:25 +0000

Thanks Nick it is helpful. What do you think about Moses, who doesn’t enter the Promised Land because of his disobedience, but seems to be “saved” (Heb. 11,12). Is the Promised Land an imperfect shadow/type of Heaven, or could it be a type of some other present earthly state that believers can enter in to or fail to enter in to by disobedience, or something else altogether?

Comment on Exile and Restoration in the Death and Resurrection of Christ by Nicholas T. Batzig

Steve, I understand the salvation of Noah and his family, and Israel being brought out of Egypt as typical salvation. So, it seems from Scriptures that many of those who were redeemed out of Egypt, in that typical redemption, did not enter into God’s eternal rest. This brings us into the whole discussion of the visible/invisible church distinction (i.e. the internal/external administration of the covenant). Is this helpful, or more confusing?

Good stuff Nick. Do you have any thoughts on those brought out of Egypt that were not allowed to enter the Promised Land? Were they “saved”?

Comment on Ligon Duncan and Tim Keller on Women and the Deaconate by krisb

krisb — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:08:43 +0000

Many churches say women cannot be elders but can be deacons, an interesting point, suppose a woman family member ministers to you, mother,aunt, etc and you are a teenager, who is submissive/authority?

I feel also that Paul and timothy are writing based on current events that happened to churches at the time
while I do not believe the bible changes as many liberal , new age, folks do, historical problem solving,
is evident in which the book of revelation writes letters to the seven churches, and Paul quotes his opinions not the Lord’s and that the command for instance whether to eat or not eat meat sacrificed, involves a similar reasoning, furthermore, the commands to submit are translated to meant respect as opposed to obey.

Men are sinners too, and there is no male or female in Christ, nobody of course disputes our flesh and how women are different than men and there may be more appropriate circumstances and roles, however its not so black and white, what do we do about males born with low testosterone who look and act like girls, or females with that x chromosome with unbalanced hormones, childless woman,
etc

Interesting, Doris, about gender segregation but it did not exist in the church in separate rooms
hence commands that the apostle paul wrote to certain churches at the time,

Great Vos quote (are they any bad ones?). And I really appreciate the link to Alexander’s series on Isaiah. I had long wondered if there were more recordings of him online.

Comment on Every Christian a Theologian? by eagle

eagle — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 05:23:31 +0000

I agree, all Christians are theologian but not all Christians have the same theology.Since their knowledge about divine being varies on how they interpret the Word of God and how they live as “Christians”

Comment on The Three Days of Jonah, Jesus and Paul by Nicholas T. Batzig

Nicholas T. Batzig — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:00:01 +0000

Penny, I do think there may be an identification with the three days of our Lord’s sufferings–both with Jonah (typologically, as taught by Jesus in Matthew 12) and proleptically in the apostle Paul (by virtue of his apostolic union with Christ).
