Raised-Christian vs Biblically-Non-Fluent
February 28 2007
Non-Christians, or heck... non-scholars of the Bible... shouldn't argue with me about the Bible.
"Christian Materialism" ... Right. You, sir, spent almost 2 hours giving a presentation on why Dualism must be wrong, and that the Bible doesn't support (or commit itself) to Dualism. Interesting, but hoo-hah, check your sources more in depth. Namely Mathew 10:28, John 4:24, 1 Corinthians 15:42-50, Acts 1:7-8, Luke 23:43, etc.
God's timing is perfect -- I taught about the Resurrection two Sundays ago. I prayed about what God wanted me to teach, and I wouldn't have been as prepared tonight with all those verses had I taught on something else.

I wanted to let you know something about your post on Harrelson's blog:
The context of Isaiah 7 was (most likely) not the messiah. The word "virgin" in Hebrew just means a young female. It was translated into the LXX incorrectly as "virgin." The original author most likely did not intend that to be read as a prophecy for the messiah. It may be applied to him now, but that was not the original intent.
Also, David was probably just talking about physically going to the bedside of his wife/baby, not dying (because he had just said he was praying over him and he had stopped, hence moved physically away from the child).
