Letters Of Lamech
Six years and counting of on and off blogging... current events, Christianity, fun
Sunday, October 01, 2006
Check out Tim Challies' blog posts on the 2006 Desiring God conference! Tim's paraphrasing of David Wells' opening session says,
So much of today's American church teaches error with this misunderstanding at its root: fear of nature, fear of loss of wealth, fear of temporal power, fear of , fear of managers, fear of sickness, fear of others' opinions... in the face of Christ who has already conquered it all. We need the truth. I'll be devouring all the content coming from this conference!
Christ has been elevated far above all rule, authority, dominion and name. It was the holiness of God that called for His and the grace of God that called for His Son. In Christ's and conquest over , the very back of evil is broken. What we see now are the last, futile attempts of the enemy, not one of which will change the outcome of what happened at Calvary. We celebrate this marvelous truth of Christ's in our lives and in our universe.
Christianity is only about this kind of Christ - Christ reigning supreme and unchallenged and unchallengeable over all of life's enemies. We do not have any other message than this. Seekers and postmoderns don't want to hear this, but the bottom line is that we don't have anything else to give them. Our only message is of Christ as unique, central, indispensable and supreme. We need to talk together and think together about how we help people to come from where they are in our postmodern ure to this point where they see Christ as supreme. But at the end of the day we do not have a different Christ for the postmodern generation than for any other.
So much of today's American church teaches error with this misunderstanding at its root: fear of nature, fear of loss of wealth, fear of temporal power, fear of , fear of managers, fear of sickness, fear of others' opinions... in the face of Christ who has already conquered it all. We need the truth. I'll be devouring all the content coming from this conference!

You use NT in your argumentation.
Historical fact (the research of James Parkes; Charlesworth; Barrie Wilsson and other Scholars at leading universities implies this) is that Ribi Yehoshuas was a Pharisee.
The earliest extant Church historian, Eusebius further documented (EH III.xxvii.4-6) that the original Netzarim accepted only the Jewish Tana"kh as Bible and only The Netzarim ("their own") Hebrew Matityahu (NHM) as an authentic account of the life and teachings of Ribi Yәhoshua, never accepting the the 2nd-4th century, heavily gentile-redacted (Greek), NT.
Historical Scholars in leading universities (for example Bart Ehrman) agrees that NT has been redacted.
Ribi Yehoshua warned for false prophets who don’t produce good fruit = defined as don’t practise the commandments in Torah (Torah including oral Torah). See Devarim (Deuteronomy) 13:1-6.
Now you are confronted with the very words of historical Ribi Yehoshua. To follow him you need to start practising Torah non-selectively!
So why not start following Ribi Yehoshua? To follow him by practising the commandments in Torah including helping the needy gives true meaning of life!!
