The Prophetic Presbyterian & His Narrow Way

Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.  46  But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual.  ( 1 Corinthians 15:45–46 , ESV) Some people believe that this passage refers to Yeshua’s resurrection.     There is truth to that, but in context, Paul is talking about Adam at his ensoulment not his fall nor his death & analogizing between Adam & Yeshua.     Let’s look at the rest of the text.  The previous text:   So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable.  43  It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.  44  It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body ( 1 Corinthians 15:42–44 , ESV) The topic is the nature of & signs & se...

And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and, kneeling before him,  15  said, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he has seizures and he suffers terribly. For often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.  16  And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him.”  17  And Jesus answered, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me.”  18  And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly.  19  Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”  20  He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”  ( Matthew 17:14–22 , ESV) Growing up, you may have heard that the ...

Question :  Given what you and PAPC believe about Romans 1:18 - 32 & Leviticus 18 would you throw out.   Answer : I am not throwing out any commands.   How so?  By reasoning that God allows us to ground our sexual ethics in the created order,  the tradition bound view’s proponents are the guilty party in that regard.    THE BIBLE EXPLICITLY FORBIDS USING THE VISIBLE ATTRIBUTES OF THE CREATED ORDER AS THE BASIS FOR THEOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY, & ETHICS. Romans 1:18 - 32 is inerrant, infallible, & clear as a bell on this.    One more time:  Romans 1:18 - 32 is a verbal, plenary commentary on Leviticus 18.  To understand the case law in Leviticus 18 correctly, understand Romans 1:18 - 32.  It covers the same exact material & follows the same exact outline.   Leviticus 18 Shema/Prologue  (Lev. 18:1 - 5) General & Specific Prohibitions  (Lev.18: 6 -23)  Document Clause, Witnesses, & Victory...

  Shema  40  And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.” Historical Prologue  41  “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.  42  When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?”  43  Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.”  General Stipulations  And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.”    Specific Stipulations  44  Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.  45  You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet.  46  You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.  Coven...

  Shema One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at table.  Historical Prologue  37  And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment,  38  and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.  39  Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.” General Stipulations  40  And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.” Specific Stipulations  41  “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and th...

The term “The New Covenant” is a title traditionally ascribed to a particular administration of the Covenant of Grace.  As a matter of biblical nomenclature, what does the Bible say?  Answer There is no text in the Bible that mandates we call the Johannine administration of the Covenant of Grace “The New Covenant,” & at no point does the Bible call it “The New Covenant” as a proper name/title.  Objection   The Bible itself calls it the new covenant (Luke 22:20; 1 Corinthians 11:25; Hebrews 8:8-13; Hebrews 9:15; Hebrews 12:24). 12:24.  Answer This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.  ( Luke 22:20 , ESV) Yeshua is using as descriptor & refers to its usage in the OT.  “I will make a new covenant…”   The text uses the article *the* in Luke to emphasize that the promise was being fulfilled in their sight.   He isn’t declaring the title of the covenant.   He is pointing out that the time ...
