what is christ center preaching

[LaneCh]

It's preaching Christ as the center of your message and not yourself.

[Dutchdrummer99]

explain how something is "well documented" when there are a dozen different dates to believe in? I hope you agree that something is NOT "well documented" if everyone disagrees in the first place! If it was "well documented" most people would agree!..Hence; it is NOT "well documented". But it seems we are bypassing the issue; the argument i was trying to make concerning the video was; the Jews who do not accept jesus as the Messiah. I would like to know your opinion on this.

[LaneCh]

Sir, you said that "They even messed up the date of his birth." Can you provide any primary source material to substantiate your claim? This is now the fourth time I've asked you to back up what you say; this is also your last chance.

[Dutchdrummer99]

I have backed up what i said. If you want to keep changing my words then you shouldn`t make an account to debate things. So this is the fourth time; theologians DON`T agree on the date; hence it is messed up. Stop changing other people`s words. Either you debate it or don`t.

[LaneCh]

Blocked. Thanks for again demonstrating the ignorance of the position you take.

[JesusFishMinistries]

There are numerous primary source not biblical showing a historical Jesus. He is one of the most document people to ever live. Even my secular humanist professors where I studied history believe in a historical Jesus. This is why the Jesus Seminar was invented. Since he was real they needed to make him out to be a mystic. All we know for a fact is that he was NOT born Dec 25 other then that it is all a guess.

[darski2007]

I don't think it is a good idea to take your theology form Atheist humourists.

The historical Jesus is well documented. God's plans will play out as He has said and eventually Christ will be recognized by all and every knee shall bow.

@Castleman711 " Did Jesus have a human will in bondage?"

Jesus was not born of Adam's seed...but of God's. Thus the will of Jesus was set in perfect obedience to that of the father's will.

You and I share Adam's seed....so it is our will that is in bondage.

[MySunshineNora]

How about this. How about everyone of you just SHUT UP and Learn of Jesus?

HE SAID, "Learn of Me,..."

God has called US into FELLOWSHIP WITH HIS SON.

ALL you ignoramouses that have their head stuck in the Bible and know NOTHING of the Jesus OF the Bible FOR THEMSELVES.

"TO anyone who THINKS he knows something, HE KNOWS NOTHING, as he OUGHT TO KNOW."

Grow up, shut up and sit at The Lord's feet as Mary did listening to HIM.

[Castleman711]

What is the Gospel? I thought it was the second Person in the Trinity taking on human nature, and defeating death on the cross? If these guys are correct, then the Incarnation was impossible, and the cross was impossible, since the Son took on human nature...tell me, how is that possible if Total Depravity is true. Did Jesus have a human will in bondage? If you say no, which any Calvinist will (no pun), then Jesus was not consubstantial with us, and didn't free us from anything.

[mikeisi]

I dont know why, but I think it would be so funny if during the middle of this interview you saw that door open in the back left and you saw john piper peek in then close the door back.

[MRKetter81]

@lsjtifo Must be put down how? By becoming a socialist country? You sound like a Totalitarinist. You also sound very zealous your self.. so I don't know where you get at calling out others about their beliefs.

[jamesglory1]

Good.

[Virikel]

<3 reformed theology :)

[lsjtifo]

2. But religious fanatics have written books and called them versions of Bible or Qu'ran, ... , and claim falsely that their God is real, their savior is real, and all the claims of other faiths false, etc. THIS FANATICISM MUST BE PUT DOWN BY CONCERNED PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER, AND SPREADING THAT ALL RELIGIONS ARE EQUALL SENSIBLE

[lsjtifo]

Man is not all powerful, he can't even master his own destiny, say on lines he himself prefers. So u feel confident to infer there is (or must be) a supreme intelligence. But point is we are ourselves part of that cosmic entity or universal consciousness. Whether u call it Christ or his father, or Allah, Bodhisattva, or Krishna, makes no difference. ..

[Ncxoxo]

very thruth, u never know what ua re gonna get when u enter churches, im a seminarist, this is true, but sad.
