The Prophetic Presbyterian & His Narrow Way

Statement :  Yeshua did not repeal the food laws, & we must abide by them today (or else we are in sin!) Answer :  Contrary to those who believe that the parenthetical statement is not authoritative or not as authoritative as the words of Christ Himself (which are actually the author’s words about what Christ said, the text clearly states He declared all foods clean (Mark 10:19).   Acts 10 analogizes between food & people.     The entire point of the vision is that the    Gentiles are now openly admitted to the covenant community on the basis of the vision then that is  because the food & the people directly correspond .     By drawing Peter’s attention to Gentiles now being “clean,” the vision also draws attention to the suspension of the food laws.  The clean/unclean distinction in the OT    is given for 3 essential reasons, two of which are sacrifice & health.      Animal sa...

  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19  For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20  For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21  For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22  Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23  and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. 24  Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25  because they exchanged the truth about God for a l...

  17  When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2  since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3  And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4  I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5  And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. 6  “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7  Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8  For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you ...

  13  That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14  and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15  While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16  But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17  And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad. 18  Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19  And he said to them, “What things?” And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20  and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21  But we had hoped that he was the one t...

20  Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2  So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” 3  So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. 4  Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5  And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. 6  Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, 7  and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. 8  Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9  for...

We're told that after the war the Nazis vanished without a trace Cain: But we didn’t!   Abel: We agree! The version of history that sends the message that the Nazis just vanished & the world moved on constitutes a romanticized version of history.    In the earliest years, those who survived the Second World War went out of their way to remind themselves and their children (and grandchildren) about the War & why it happened in hopes they would never forget the War & the ideology that went with it.    They even answered the Nazi propaganda mill that had helped underwrite the Nazi’s campaign to divide & conquer the people of Germany & their European (and non-European neighbors).     Take, for example, this newsreel .   But battalions of fascists still dream of a master race Cain:   Abel:    Strictly speaking fascism itself did not totally die out.     Spain was a fascist state both duri...
