Re: Gospel of Kindness

I know others that say "brothers" and are extremely condescending about it.

This forum is about articulating ideas. It would make sense that kindness should always be part of the dialogue. Other...

Re: Gospel of Kindness

Of course our meek and gentle Savior was extremely harsh with one particular group... and they weren't the sinners. Christ really had an issue with them: generation of vipers, dead men's bones,...

SIGH

It's called a citation, something all scholarly papers have, and something used when you are giving authority to your statement. I gave credit where credit was due, no crime there.

Re: TV Ministries

Paul didn't quote Aratus to align himself with the Greek poet. Paul was telling those on the Areopagus that they were too superstitious, and through ignorance they worship deities. Paul quotes Aratus...

Re: TV Ministries

The apostle intends to refute both the serious and the popular philosophies of the Greeks, yet he does not ridicule his listeners. Paul's warning of the imminent judgment of God has as goal the...

Re: TV Ministries

EB, I wasn't trying to be esoteric or to speak with a hidden message. I was interacting with your point about Paul at Mars Hill and his use of the poets.

Paul didn't just use the poets to make...

Re: Gospel of Kindness

Nahkoe,

Sam used a beautiful illustration of what it looks like.

Re: Gospel of Kindness

Re: Gospel of Kindness
