  • Missouri Representative Vic Allred added: "I think any Bible study at the high school level is a great idea."
  • Opponents of the proposal argued that the measure appeared to prioritize Christianity above all other religions.
  • Brian Kaylor, a Missouri Baptist Church pastor who strongly opposes the bill, said that the BIble "cannot be reduced" to a school elective course. "I oppose this legislation, not because I oppose the Bible," Kaylor said, according to the Post-Dispatch. "The Bible cannot be reduced to merely an elective high school class. The Bible is inherently religious, and we cannot pretend otherwise."
  • Missouri is just one of several U.S. states where lawmakers have proposed to allow Bible courses in public schools.
  • "Numerous states introducing Bible Literacy classes, giving students the option of studying the Bible. Starting to make a turn back? Great!"

Confession of sin

shared by Tim Limkeman on 02 Sep 19 - No Cached
  • First. if this verse teaches that we are supposed to confess our sins on an ongoing basis as Christians, then it also teaches that it is necessary to confess in order to be forgiven. If we don't confess, then we aren't forgiven. Those are the words of the text.
  • Christians are clearly in view here because he used the endearment "little children"--the secure antidote for sin is the advocacy of Jesus acting as a defense counselor for us
  • We have clear teaching in a number of places in the New Testament that our forgiveness is a one time event, that it's done when we confess that Jesus is our Lord, when Jesus comes into our life we enter into eternal life, that our sins and transgressions God remembers no more,
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • then how is that we can interpret 1 John 1:9 that we must confess in order to be forgiven if, in fact, we are forgiven already?
  • The word fellowship when applied between God and man in the New Testament is synonymous with salvation.
  • This first section is strongly evangelistic, it is addressing the non-Christian contingent
  • God is faithful to bring that sin to our awareness through conviction in our hearts by the Holy Spirit (John 16:8)

Philosophy Theology Heraclitus Logos

shared by Tim Limkeman on 05 Aug 19 - No Cached
  • It is our nature to separate things into parts, to make distinctions, but if there were a Supreme Being, is this the way it would see the universe?
  • No, says Heraclitus: “Listening not to me but to the Logos, it is wise to acknowledge that all things are one.”
  • Heraclitus seems to contradict himself on whether there is a God. The Logos is not God as such, and in some statements he sees the universe as a kind of self-perpetuating mechanism that “has not been made by any god or man, but it always has been, is, and will be – an ever-living fire, kindling itself by regular measures and going out by regular measures.”
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • he clearly says that there is a divine mind with an intelligent purpose, in contrast to the blindness of man: “Man is not rational; only what encompasses him is intelligent.”
  • Our minds are so fixed on the material that we take this relative level of reality to be everything, yet there is an absolute reality that awaits our appreciation.

  • Thus the world is not to be identified with any particular substance, but rather with an ongoing process governed by a law of change.
  • Heraclitus is the first Western philosopher to go beyond physical theory in search of metaphysical foundations and moral applications.

  • the structure of 1 John
  • reflect on just how different this “letter” is, especially in comparison with contemporary examples of letters and with 2 and 3 John (both of which exhibit almost all the characteristics of first century a.d. letters).
  • Most of the sentences in Greek have a very simple syntactical structure and the lack of connective conjunctions is often striking.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • an extremely convoluted internal structure which has plagued interpreters for centuries.
  • Attempts to trace a consecutive argument throughout 1 John have never succeeded. For the convenience of a commentator and his readers, it is possible to present such an analysis of the epistle as is given on pp. 31 f., but this does not imply that the author himself worked to an organized plan.
  • At best we can distinguish three main courses of thought: the first (1.5-2.27), which has two main themes, ethical (walking in light) and Christological (confessing Jesus as the Christ); the second (2.28-4.6), which repeats the ethical and Christological themes with variations; the third (4.7-5.12) where the same two essential themes are presented as love and faith and shown to be inseparable and indispensable products of life in Christ.41
  • the two main themes of walking in light and confessing Jesus as the Christ are repeated throughout all the sections.
