Chris Losinger wrote: first, no offense intended... If i was gonna take offense, i'd have done it long before now... ;) Chris Losinger wrote: how do christians reconcile things like Leviticus Leviticus is, as you stated, OT. The teachings therein formed much of Judaism at one time, and thus the foundation Christianity is built on. However, they are not the teachings of Christ - they were the laws laid out for governing the nation of Israel as a people set apart by God. Christ opened salvation for all peoples, first the Jews, and then the rest - although the laws of Moses were and for the most part are respected, many are not required, as Christianity is not focused on maintaining a temporal government. This is not a trivial issue, by any means - there was great conflict in the early days of the Christian Church, and in some areas to this day. Early Christians were required to convert to Judaism prior to being accepted as Christians. One of the great influences Paul the Evangelist had over the early Church was to convince them to allow gentiles - those not circumcised and compliant with the laws of Judaism - into their fellowship. To delve further: many of the OT laws and rituals - such as animal sacrifices - foreshadowed Christ's life and death, as an atonement for transgressions. A lamb, say, was sacrificed, not because God would accept the life of an animal to redeem the life of a man, but as a reminder of the promise that God *would* send atonement, that one more worthy than any of us would give his life in exchange for our own. Therefore, after Christ's death, the sacrifice of animals is replaced with the Lord's Supper, a reminder, not only that we now *have* been redeemed, but also of the cost.

Let us all remember that Bishop Sprague was deemed a heretic by the church for his beliefs. In fact if people who are to be ordained say they do not believe in the virgin birth or the resurrection they are not allowed to be ordained. And what are we saying about a God who cannot change physics and/or the phyical body? My question is if you cannot live with the virgin birth or the resurrection, how do you live with the fact that we don't know where God came from? This is where faith comes into the equation. Without faith we are constantly asking questions that are far beyond our comprehension and things that we will never be able to know.
Britt Fisher wrote: Let us all remember that Bishop Sprague was deemed a heretic by the church for his beliefs. Yes he is in good campany for a methodist, as John Wesley was also deemed a heretic by the parochial clergy. Britt Fisher wrote: And what are we saying about a God who cannot change physics and/or the physical body? No they are not saying that God can't only that God probably didn't in this case. Evidence points to the limited Gospels used by the RC and RC derived religions being chosen for appearing to include similarities with the popular pagan beliefs of the time. Britt Fisher wrote: My question is if you cannot live with the virgin birth or the resurrection, how do you live with the fact that we don't know where God came from? Since Sprague can have faith without believing in the Virgin Birth and Resurrection does this not show his faith is indeed greater than those that must use belief in the supernatural for proof ?

In reality, Stephen was the first evangelist to the Gentiles and he was the first martyr because of it
Interesting. The very nature of Stephens address makes me think he is talking to Jews. Why do you think otherwise ? ( Not arguing, interested ). Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002

'What God has made clean, let no man call unclean'. :-) The basic principle is presented in the NT also, that is, that the OT is full of laws which Jesus came to fulfill, sending the Holy Spirit to write the law on the fleshy tables of our hearts. In other words, the OT was a legal document, the NT is about the love of God motivating us to do good, so we do not need lengthy lists of rules. Paul specifically states that if anyone wants to try to keep to any the Law, they must keep it all. He also specifically stated that this was not possible for any man.

No, you've missed the point. The point is not that the OT became untrue, but that it served it's purpose. It's not that the Law was bad, it's that we could not keep it, and the Bible says the Law was a 'schoolmaster to lead us to Christ'. The Law set the scene, but it was not the end of God's plan. The Bible also says that everything that happened in the OT was for our example, for the benefit of people who are today filled with the Holy Spirit. Chris Losinger wrote: you do realize that if we were talking about the STL, handwaving and "because god said so" wouldn't fly, right? LOL, of course. More Stepanov said so would be analagous. How interested are you in this ? Would you like me to sit down and grab a list of scriptures that explains the situation ? I've paraphrased about 6 already. Basically, the OT Law was given to a specific group of people at a specific time.

I'll deal with this one first, sorry 'bout the backwards reply. Simple answer: you can't. In all seriousness though, you really can't be sure if what you see when leaving your house in the morning really isn't your brain playing tricks on you either. We *are* slaves of our own perception, and though this is easier to see (and condemn) in those with certain mental afflictions and/or a taste for hallucinogens, it affects us all. I look at a wall and say it is orange - you look at the same wall and also say it is orange, but there is no proof the colors we see are perceived at all the same to the both of us, merely that we have both learned to call it by the same name. We believe what our senses tell us in order to survive - as children, we must learn to interpret them without prior knowledge, and thus comes the "innocence of youth". But can we ever be completely certain? Experience tells us no, our perception can be easily tricked and misled. And yet, we must believe, for uncertainty would cripple us.

There is certainly a possibility of my losing conviction of the existance of God, though i pray it does not happen. Would it break me? Hard to say... whether my life ends in a suicidal killing spree or after many years spent with no goal greater than a beer on Friday, i would say it was a waste of what God has given me.

Well, i've gotta admit, that sounds a bit wishful.
