Hi Dave and Dan, As to where the Corinthians may have gotten the idea that 'the dead don't rise', see this excerpt from a recently posted article by Sam Frost:...
[Dan] ... Paul made that point because some at Corinth were saying that "the dead" would not be raised and that only the church/Christians (those who were "in ...
... The raising of OT saints only, as the NT saints aren't "dead". But that's not how the term is commonly used or understood. Your whole complex explanation...
I don't think so. You are making an assumption here, however, based on similarity. To begin with the language there is in an apocalyptic section, and...
[Dave] ... [Dan] ... I don't believe the word "dead" means "spiritually dead." I believe it means physically dead. The reason I exclude physically dead NT...
Thanks for sharing this moms2boys. I am glad to hear your husband was blessed & relieved to some degree by what compassionate things you spoke to him. I'm...
Hi Everyone I was shopping for Bahsen's book on theonomy, "By This Standard" and found it free online. I thought I would share the link in case anyone here is...
Dave, Wow. I totally disagree. I say that not only does the context not exclude them, it necessarily INCLUDES them. The argument is tight. If all the dead ...
[Dave] ... [Dan] ... So the resurrection-of-the-dead deniers believed that there was no "afterlife," but they did not believe that their hope was "in this life...
[Dan] ... Rather, you seem to want to ignore the theological background of Paul's ministry and his writings, and have instead put him in the absurd position of...
[Dave] ... [Dan] Actually the "in this life only" was the first half of another if statement. If the dead do not rise, then Christ hasn't been risen... And...
[Dave] ... [Dan] ... So the resurrection-of-the-dead deniers believed in the resurrection of Christ, and in the gospel, and in the veracity of the apostles. ...
Hi Dan, No assumptions on my end. We aren't told how some of the Corinthians came to their conclusion that there wasn't to be a resurrection of the dead....
Dorothy, I'm not sure what you say is 100% accurate. You need to hear his lecture after coming to the preterist view and his anger or frustration with...
Hi Dorothy, Interesting comment you made about David Chilton. I have not been all that certain that Chilton maintained his theonomic stance after he became a...
Hi Walt, I have Chilton's sermon on Heaven & Earth. He does address theonomy and how Matt 5 is handled. I've listened to it many times and he said others...
Hi Mike, I just saw your post. I'm what you would call a moderate theonomist. I happen to be one of those who doesn't have to agree with an entire position...
[Dave] So the resurrection-of-the-dead deniers believed in the resurrection of Christ, and in the gospel, and in the veracity of the apostles. Yet at the same...
Hi Dan, :) 1. According to the implications of Paul's if-then arguments in I Cor. 15:13-19, the resurrection-of-the-dead deniers believed that because God...
... Dorothy, I was wondering what you mean by the statement, "The Sabbath is a good example." Could you please help me understand your thought here? I am...
If I recall, Gary North would have anyone who did not believe in infant baptism and the Sabbath pronounced "heretical" and stoned when his covenantal civil...
Hey Sharon, I'm not sure what Sam is saying in this quote. Is he saying the gentile converts (knowing he follows King's view) were denying a resurrection...
Hi Mike, Sharon: I'm not sure what Sam's thoughts on it are Mike. To avoid confusion I should have made it clear that this quote of Sam's was not from an...
Hey Sharon, Yes, what you say below about them being "confused" is the conclusion no matter how we look at their denial. Joshua and Caleb were those among...
"TO HELL WITH THE SABBATH BREAKERS AND THE BELIEVER ONLY BAPTISTS." I am not too sure if I ever read that part, but I can see where it COULD come from. I am a...
Hey there, I think you were looking at the "consistency" of theonomy and the Sabbath comment, and I was just looking at classic theonomy and some other...
Hey Mike, You are right, and that is mostly took it. Actually, I laughed when I read your post concerning paedo-baptism. On this side of the screen I found...
Hi Dallas, Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. It's the citrus season and I'm working lots of hours. As far as the Sabbath, I don't consider it a day of...
Dave, Excuse me for being a bit long-winded, but your accusation "Make-it-fit"? We know from Acts 17-18 that Paul convinced some Stoics and Epicureans and...
[Mike:] I'm not sure what Sam is saying in this quote. Is he saying the gentile converts (knowing he follows King's view) were denying a resurrection of "the...
