Jude As The Eschatological Covenants in Chronological Order

Think of the outline below as a theatric script    written as an Apocalyptic narrative as God’s eschatological judgment unfolds through redemptive history from the beginning to the present day & beyond.   Edenic & Adamic 1  Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: Adamic & Noahic  2  May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. Noahic & Abrahamic  3  Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.  4  For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Abrahamic & Mosaic  5  Now I want to remind you, although you ...

Tackling Tradition: Do You Have To Believe In The Trinity To Be Justified?

Question : Is the following statement true?  Whoever desires to be saved should above all hold to the catholic faith. Anyone who does not keep it whole and unbroken will doubtless perish eternally. Now this is the catholic faith: That we worship one God in Trinity and the Trinity in unity, neither confounding their persons nor dividing the essence.

The Father is eternal; the Son is eternal; the Holy Spirit is eternal; And yet there are not three eternal beings; there is but one eternal being. So too there are not ...

Tackling Tradition 95: Kat Boan Vs. Paul (On Baptism)

Image
One can’t help but notice she demands a prooftext without any exposition of the text.     Yet embedded in her own meme are 3 statements that are intended to inform us of what she believes the text to mean.   It (her prooftext) doesn’t say, “Christ sent me primarily to preach the Gospel. It does not say, “Baptism is important, just not the center of my ministry. It does not say, “Christ sent me to preach AND water baptize.” One the one hand, “I don’t need a paraphrase explaining what you think Paul meant,” yet on the other, she provides 3 statements that form either 3 short, one sentence  paragraphs or 3 short statements that form a single paragraph.   It’s obvious that she engages in the very behavior she herself eschews from any who dare challenge her.   Why should anyone take her seriously?     She’s just another tantruming child testing people’s alleged biblical/theological illiteracy/ignorance as if she is in possession of ...
