I appreciate your contribution.
&qu...Thanks Greg,<br /><br />I appreciate your contribution.<br /><br /><b><i>"I loved when John the Baptist sain in Matt. 3:9 that God could raise children unto Abraham from mere stones... which is precisely what Jesus came to do!"</i></b> :)<br /><br />Yes, all those who are joined to Christ are collectively the "seed" of Abraham <b>in</b> the Seed (Christ) of Abraham. There is no Jew/Gentile distinction in Him!<br /><br />The Temple typology is an amazing study as we see its fulfillment in Christ. Greg Beale has a tremendous book on the meaning and significance of the Temple in the light of Christ's coming as the true Temple, the true "House of God".<br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />GGMGreat Googly Moogly!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13348645248449285718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507235926229522907.post-34760941634853393142009-10-30T11:11:21.152-06:002009-10-30T11:11:21.152-06:00Hey, GGM!

O...Hey, GGM! Sorry it took me so long to drop by!<br /><br />One of the things I love about the Bible is how well it all ties together, even though it was written by different hands, over the course of several centuries. Stephen's summary of the OT is one of my favorite sections, and one redemptive act of his sad martyrdom is that (I think) it played a key role in Saul's conversion.<br /><br />I agree about the present Israel. God has one people, whose ability to trace its ancestry to Abraham is pointless. I loved when John the Baptist sain in Matt. 3:9 that God could raise children unto Abraham from mere stones... which is precisely what Jesus came to do! :)<br /><br />I did a study once on the meaning of the Temple... I should probably post it sometime.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01028914792240238768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507235926229522907.post-40283814665648679802009-10-24T18:10:09.658-06:002009-10-24T18:10:09.658-06:00Thanks Russ,

The similarities between modern Judaism and Dispensationalism should be a cause for concern within the Church.'<br /><br />You need someone who believes opposite from you on this to come on here and cause a commotion.;) <br /><br />Christ completed his work, his death and resurrection in God's power.<br /><br />It has its desired effect on the elect.<br /><br />There is no need for atonement in the future.<br /><br />Noted Scripture:<br /><br />Hebrews 7-12, Hebrews 10: 10-12Dr. Russell Norman Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505655776770812228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507235926229522907.post-534735296161529572009-10-23T04:49:40.609-06:002009-10-23T04:49:40.609-06:00'Stephen’s sermon confronts the Jewish people ...'Stephen’s sermon confronts the Jewish people with their misunderstanding of the Scripture. He’s not speaking against Moses, the Law and the Holy Place. He’s showing the people from their own history that God expects them to understand these things as speaking of and being fulfilled in Jesus, whom they crucified. They refused to believe Jesus. They are the ones speaking against Moses, the Law and the Holy Place. They are blaspheming God.'<br /><br />Their religion was demonstrated to be very significantly in error.<br /><br />They became angry.Dr. Russell Norman Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703130625190233670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507235926229522907.post-26467782337481343892009-10-23T04:43:53.275-06:002009-10-23T04:43:53.275-06:00'But Stephen takes them through their history ...'But Stephen takes them through their history to show them that they don’t know the meaning of their history or who they were as God’s people. Just as Jesus warned the people that they were in danger of missing the Kingdom because they didn’t understand the Scripture and what God was really promising, so Stephen is also showing the people that they have misunderstood the meaning of their own history and God’s purpose in it. The nation of Israel itself as well as the circumstances of their history point to Christ!'<br /><br />Very good, no need for revision.<br /><br />Signed, U of Wales.Dr. Russell Norman Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505655776770812228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507235926229522907.post-5218569519498388842009-10-23T04:42:01.305-06:002009-10-23T04:42:01.305-06:00Too bad about Tamela's blog...oh well, people ...Too bad about Tamela's blog...oh well, people do come out of retirement.Dr. Russell Norman Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505655776770812228noreply@blogger.com
