elephants of grace: October 2010
http://elephantsofgrace.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 28, 2010. Rebellion is always justified . . . Rebellion is always justified in the eyes of the rebel. I debated whether to make this one or two (or three) posts. Well, here it is in one post. Feel free to break it up into bite size chunks as you see fit. For those following Jim Jones, it was the idea that they had no choice. He was their “spiritual authority,” and he had “the truth.” Where else could they go? Do you tell them that God will honor them for submitting to their spiritual au...

elephants of grace: September 2010
http://elephantsofgrace.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 25, 2010. Why is it so hard to believe that God actually showed John these things and that they are just difficult for us to understand because he was trying to describe future events? To me the answer was obvious. Dr. Wilson gracefully but unapologetically responded, "Why couldn't God tell John to use stories that the first readers were all familiar with to convey a meaning that they would more easily understand in light of those stories? World Biblical Commentary,. Found at http:/ w...

elephants of grace: wind and spirit, etc.
http://elephantsofgrace.blogspot.com/2010/10/wind-and-spirit-etc.html
Tuesday, October 19, 2010. Wind and spirit, etc. October 19, 2010 at 10:11 PM. I like the connection you pointed out between Jesus analogy of wind to the Spirit in John 3, and what later happened in Acts. Many people do not realize what is happening in Acts is, like you said, totally spontaneous and basically unexpected. I certainly did not pick up on this until recently.

elephants of grace: November 2010
http://elephantsofgrace.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 16, 2010. It correlates nicely with Acts 2:38 where Peter says that a person should “be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins” and that they would “receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” So, the birth of water and Spirit in John 3:5 is the baptism of water and Spirit that Peter talked about in Acts 2:38. So, where does speaking in tongues come in? In answering, we need to be careful not to put words in Paul’s mouth (pen? If the writers of the New Testament were tr...

Saturday, August 28, 2010. What is the litmus test for Christianity? What is your litmus test? Does your church have a litmus test- a bare minimum that declares the new believer is now "really" a "true" Christian? To turn into the color of. What is the Bible's litmus test? What is Jesus' litmus test? Does your litmus test involve appropriate behavior? Does your litmus test involve a person's appearance? Does your litmus test involve minimal levels of repentance, or prayer, of commitment? My flesh does...
