The Prophetic Presbyterian & His Narrow Way

For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20  For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21  that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22  For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. ( Romans 8:19–22 , ESV) This Is The Way! This Is Our Creed! This Is Our Faith! O LORD, Hear Our (& Your) Prayer(s)!

Query : Since Yeshua’s person & work underwrites the whole of God’s Eternal Covenant, &, since in the Noahic/Aegis Covenant, God reminds us that His covenant is with all living things, &, since the animals constitute a subset of all living things, how does Christ’s person & work/labor applies to animals (since animals are incapable of sinning)?  Adamic/Antediluvian  Animals The Animals are created personal beings who bear God’s image, glory, & authority.  Christ   As to His human nature, Christ is a created personal being. As to both His (Divinity &) Humanity, Christ bears God’s image, glory, & authority.  Noahic/Aegis   Animals The Animals are often ignored. Christ   As to His human nature, Christ labored in relative obscurity.  Abrahamic/Patriarchal  Animals   The Animals are sometimes owned as pets &/or weath. Christ   As to His human nature, Christ was a bond servant owned by God & t...

The fact that Joseph entered the Praetorium isn’t proof he is fictional character.     He is depicted as a man of character was part of the reform movement headed by Yeshua & His disciples.    His entering the Praetorium is proof of his devotion & a practical outworking of the principle that man is made to govern & observe the Sabbath not vice versa.    The same is true for the meme’s application of Numbers 19:11.     It’s almost as if the meme’s author thinks that Joseph was part of the majority of the Sanhedrin, whom the Gospels depict as hypocritical, at times bigoted, & frequently expert legalists.  Joseph of Arimathea is depicted as fundamentally  unlike  his peers on the other side of the aisle.    As part of the reform movement in that era, the principle that man is made to govern & observe the Sabbath not vice versa.    The fact that his actions might have been controversial ...

In 1 Corinthians 6: 9 - 11, Paul wrote a sin list that describes both the world & the Corinthian church.       He then wrote that despite their church looking like the world, the members of their church were also washed (regenerate), set apart (in the world but not of it), & justified (declared judicially righteous) in the name of Christ by the Holy Spirit.   Yet in 1 Corinthians 15, he (Paul) also wrote that there were those among them who did not believe in the resurrection of the dead, which means they didn’t believe & understand that Christ Himself had been raised from the dead. How then is it that Dolly’s accusers can hold her to a higher theological standard than Paul did the members of the Corinthian church?    Being a good theologian doesn’t select for someone being a born again believer, & the bar for being a born again believer is far lower than Christians have been saying since the Athanasian Creed set the bar at what we today con...

I continue to be astounded by posts like this on social media.     It’s as if Dolly’s accusers think that someone must pass a theology test to be welcomed home as one of God’s own.     Now that Dolly has passed away, the online chattering class has decided to run out to the public square to have their say.     It’s as if a bright light in the war with the merciless has been extinguished & now the roaches are free to roam free long enough to heckle Dolly, who herself is no longer here to defend herself. Remember this?  For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming ( 2 Thessalonians 2:7–8 , ESV) What Dolly’s accusers are peddling here is a classic example of that overarching principle. Here are the f...
