I John 4:1-6 – Testing the Spirits
Monday Mar 20, 2017
Monday Mar 20, 2017
Paul continues his study in I John.
And so John gives us the test, “You know the spirit of God—every spirit who confesses Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.” You do not distinguish between the man and the divinity, the incarnation, then, is God in the flesh. If you do a little church history it’s amazing how this same thing comes up again and again. I kind of like Luther’s phrase that “God died on the cross. “What he’s combatting is the tendency that he was running into of people splitting up God… Jack Cottrell does this most beautifully. He says, “Well, the spirit of God can’t die, it was the body of Jesus that died.” Oh, we’re right back into dualism and Gnosticism. Other than that it’s a wonderful doctrine, but John says it’s of the antichrist and by this test he would be a false kind of prophet… but I’m not going to say that… Okay, maybe I will.

Why Did Christ Die
Monday Mar 13, 2017
Monday Mar 13, 2017
Paul lays out his understanding of why Christ died and how His death can be described in terms of a change of subjectivity.
I think what we see God getting satisfaction out of, we do, too. In a very perverse way.

Rediscovering Communion – Part III
Saturday Mar 11, 2017
Saturday Mar 11, 2017
Paul and Frank continue their discussion on communion. This episode covers “real presence” and the meaning of “eating” and “drinking” the flesh and blood of Jesus. Rather than dwelling on the theoretical, they dive right into a big-picture view of the Gospel of John by going through the whole story to understand what Jesus meant when He gave that strange commandment.
