]]> Comment on N. T. Wright’s The Climax of the Covenant: A Reformed Read Through Chs. 1-4 by Richard http://inthylight.wordpress.com/2008/04/12/n-t-wright%e2%80%99s-the-climax-of-the-covenant-a-reformed-read-through-chs-1-4/#comment-1532 Richard Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:31:12 +0000 http://inthylight.wordpress.com/?p=377#comment-1532 Interesting article, I am very impressed by N. T. Wright and have recently finished his <i>Jesus and the Victory of God</i> which is most excellent. I still have some doubts about his view of Second Temple Judaism though, but that aside, his work can greatly enrich Reformed thinking. Interesting article, I am very impressed by N. T.

]]> Comment on Fitna and Faith: Pursuing A Christian Response - Part 3 - Roman Catholic and Protestant Responses by Ivan Erickson http://inthylight.wordpress.com/2008/03/31/fitna-and-faith-pursuing-a-christian-response-part-3-roman-catholic-and-protestant-responses/#comment-1521 Ivan Erickson Sun, 06 Jul 2008 23:29:10 +0000 http://inthylight.wordpress.com/?p=474#comment-1521 Extract from: "The Truth and the Light Regarding the Christian and Islam Faiths", by Ivan Erickson, author of the spiritual novel, "Song of the Storm Winds" - available via direct links to amazon.com on my website, www.ivan-erickson.com - Other discourses are also available for viewing and comments on my site. The following is the second of six total premises from the above discourse, "The Truth and the Light Regarding the Christian and Islam Faiths", of which the rational man will find irrefutable. Please know that I love all people of all faiths and ethnicities of whom God loves, and this is the reason why I continuously toil to bring the Truth and the Light to all those who are seeking. "The second premise to address is the Islam belief that Jesus Christ was only a prophet – that He was not deity or the only Son of God. In 1 John, 2:18-23 we read: “Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. Thus we know this is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us. Their desertion shows that none of them was of our number. But you have the anointing that comes from the holy one, and you all have knowledge. I write to you not because you do not know the truth but because you do, and because every lie is alien to the truth. Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist. No one who denies the Son has the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.”i In 1 John 4, 1-3 we read: “Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh belongs to God, and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus does not belong to God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world.”ii Also, Jesus Christ professed many times in the Gospel that He was the Messiah, the only Son of God the Father. If the Islam faithful sincerely believes that Jesus was a prophet, how can they at the same time not believe that He was God’s Son? – For a prophet is one who speaks the Truth for God, you see".

]]> Comment on Is Alcholics Anonymous A Christian Means of Sanctification? by Richard G. Burns, J.D. http://inthylight.wordpress.com/2007/10/30/is-alcholics-anonymous-a-christian-means-of-sanctification/#comment-1520 Richard G. Burns, J.D. Sun, 06 Jul 2008 09:29:25 +0000 http://inthylight.wordpress.com/2007/10/30/is-alcholics-anonymous-a-christian-means-of-sanctification/#comment-1520 Let's distinguish between A.A. today and the A.A. program of 1935-1938. A.A. today is not Christian, but it certainly has thousands and thousands of Christians in the meetings, the fellowship, and the groups. Christians are not excluded from A.A. And they are free to belief in God, decide to accept Christ, study the Bible, pray, read Christian literature, and share what God has done for them. I've been doing it for over 22 years. So have thousands of others. Contrast this, however, with the fact that early A.A. was a Christian Fellowship. Belief in God and conversion to Christ were required. Bible study was stressed. And its weekly meetings were called old fashioned prayer meetings-resembling those of Christian Endeavor to which Dr. Bob belonged as a youngster in Vermont. Let's also recognize that many are confused about what they can and can't do and believe in today's A.A. for the simple reason that they do not know its history. Thus many of the original members favored calling the Society The James Club because the Book of James, the Sermon on the Mount, and 1 Corinthians were considered absolutely essential to cure. Check out The Conversion of Bil W. http://www.dickb.com/conversion.shtml and also Dr. Bob of Alcoholics Anonymous http://DrBob.info. These will strengthen the backbone of Christians who sometimes feel out of place or initimidated in A.A. today. There's room for everybody today; and there is no index of forbidden books.
