Amy Orr-Ewing - on "C. S. Lewis and the Problem of Pain"
C.S. Lewis has had a phenomenal impact on the reception of the Christian faith beyond his own lifetime. His writing on the Problem of Pain has been particularly meaningful for people struggling to reconcile a loving God with this pain filled world. In this session we will explore Lewis’ approach to suffering and ask what we can learn from it today and consider how to develop our own responses to the problem of evil and suffering that connect with the cultural moment we find ourselves in.

¿Cómo podemos imaginar a la iglesia del presente siglo XXI? Hay ciertas consideraciones que nos permiten darnos cuenta de que nunca como hoy se ha visto más claramente la necesidad de des-institucionalizar a la iglesia y transformarla en lo que de verdad es: una comunidad de personas, bajo el señorio de Cristo, llena del Espiritu Santo y al servicio del reino de Dios. La excesiva complejidad de...

N.T. Wright - The Mission of God in the Gospel of John
Просмотров 24 тыс.3 месяца назад
John frames his gospel with deliberate echoes of the creation story in Genesis, all the way from ‘in the beginning’ at the very start to the ‘new Eden’ themes in chapter 20. In chapter 1 the focus is on Jesus as the ‘Word made Flesh’, uniquely revealing the glory of God to the world, but in chapter 20 the focus is on the disciples, who are equipped with the Spirit to be, for the world, what Jes...
Replacing the Center: Putting the Bible Back into Biblical Archaeology with Bill Devers
Просмотров 4687 месяцев назад
#archaeology #biblicalarchaeology American archaeology in Israel is at a crisis stage. The older style “Biblical archaeology” of the 1920’s-1970’s was superceded by a more professional and largely secular “Syro-Palestinian archaeology” from about 1980-2000. Now our field, usually called “Levantine archaeology” by younger Americans, is so divided that it can hardly be called a real “discipline.”...

Coping With Pluralism: A Biblical Alternative to Culture War

The tighter connections we have through technology mean that pluralism surrounds us in more ways than at any time in human history. The demographics of the USA are also changing in profound ways. Add to this the moral shifts in our country and the marginalization of the church, and the church becomes very nervous and more combative toward its unbelieving neighbors. So how has the church respond...

A Christian perspective on climate change
All these conservatives like Scalia miss an important point. The recognition of property as such and the protection of property (by police) is not questioned by them. They take it for granted that there is a huge police apparatus which protects their wealth from being taken away by the poor. But if state protects property, the state should also protect minimum standards of material well-being for the poor. This is rather a question of fairness and security than a question of charity. On the other hand, socialism is not needed to fulfil this task. It is enough to have capitalism (with all its important advantages) and a social security system which works at least as good as the police.
It's interesting to me that we worry about pattern and logic based learning models taking over the world but we trust psychopaths like some of our current leaders with weapons that could end life as we know it. The problem is the idea that AI can't take a moral position, because pure logic and data can't understand logic. But morality is there, I believe there's enough context throughout history for AI to draw an accurate conclusion on what is definitively "good" and definitively "evil" from a universal perspective. It just needs a solid foundation to begin on.
I will say it this way: God didn’t make a mistake in the first hand of the creation, he on the contrary gave man a FREE WILL to choose good or bad. This is the Lord’s teaching of us to finally become true Christians who can’t do evil just like Jesus. ❤🇩🇰
I attended Mr McCauleys lecture and the entire thought I had ... from the inteoduction of the topic is... "Why is whether slavery supported by scripture even a topic!" My answer to my own question is, "Because the slavers and those that think like them, did not ... do not consider... those who were enslaved to be HUMAN. Otherwise, the Golden Rule would apply... and not only the question, but slavery would GO AWAY."
Anti-Semitic Garbage… NT Wright is the Modern Day Origen. Confused, Deluded, and Deceived. Just like the Samaritans who had partial truths, “You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.” John 4:22 When you don’t understand the First Century Jewish Context, you just redefine it all into your antithetical own context lol. Praying for you Brother Tom 🙏🏽 Look at the Jewish Prayer the Amidah, that Jews have been praying since 500 BCE and STILL pray three times a day to this day…. THAT is the context for The New Testament and First Century Judaism… The Second Blessing called GEVUROT… MIGHT… THAT is the Context for Paul the Pharisee in Romans 8:38-39… not just merely that G-D loves you a lot…. THAT is the context for 1 Peter 3:18-20 and 1 Peter 4:3-6…. And THAT is the context for the MYSTERY Paul the Pharisee doesn’t want you IGNORANT of in Romans 11:25-27…. In the wilderness… the difference between when satan is quoting Scripture versus when Messiah is quoting Scripture is one thing… Context…. And that is what NT Wright is missing completely… trying to redefine , reimagine, and reinvent… The devil can’t change THE WORD… but he can completely remove it from its context… And when you forget…. That you’re talking about THE G-D of Israel, THE G-D of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob… and the Jewish Messiah, who was promised to come by the Jewish Prophets, in the Hebrew Scriptures… it might help you understand what was going through the mind of the first century Jews… that clearly understood and were taking action… when they heard Messiah preaching The Gospel of The Kingdom (Matt 4:23)…before the cross… before the resurrection… and before 2,000 years of the theological game of telephone that the Supersessionist “church” has been baffled by… with 44.000 denominations off of half of a book…all claiming to be the 1 with “the truth” , pridefully thinking that if you don’t do it like they do then you’ll burn in hell… as if, somehow, someway…salvation is up to YOU… and YOUR abilities…to “sell” , persuade, and articulate the gospel…. MOST don’t even understand … and not dependent on HIM …. And HIS Revelation….and HIS GRACE that NONE of us deserve, whether we’re still alive, or have been dead…

Worthless. Indiscriminate amalgamation of Biblical and pagan elements. Pure syncretism. A clear state of apostasy. HELL is made for such heretics.
Rather than Jesus being tortured to death by His Father, Jesus was tortured on the orders of sinful Israel. At the demand of the Temple hierarchy, and the Israelite people themselves, Pilate not wanting a riot from them, washed his hands of the death of this innocent man, relented and ordered that the Righteous Jesus receive the death penalty due the criminal, Barrabus, in his place. If we grasp this horrendous act of betrayal of their Messiah, we can understand the fury and wrath with which Jesus left the House of Israel desolate forever in 70 AD (Dan 9:26-27). How much this betrayal would have weighed on Christ's heart on the Cross. Jesus wasn't receiving God's wrath for our sin; He was allowing Christ to die by the hand of mankind's sin, in order to, paradoxically, be the Redeemer of them. If He doesn't die, and isn't resurrected, then Adam's curse of death would still be valid on all his descendants. I presume that the physical torment and suffering of crucifixion became so great, that He wondered how long before God was going to summon His human spirit to leave His body and go home. At the right time, Jesus gave up His human spirit to the loving protection of His Father (Luke 23:46), so He didn't feel abandoned - it was finished - He offered up His sinless human body (Heb 10:5) as a living sacrifice, or substitute, for our sinful human bodies, that were under the sentence of death. That was pure love on the part of the Father and Son, not wrath.

I'm only 33 minutes in. But wow, I missed my calling in life. This is book/Bible geekery on a level I've never seen! Incredible! How I wish I could be a part of it.
We are given a choice. Life or death. And death is not life somewhere really awful. At least not forever.
A non colonialism related individual (Eastern Europe) will see the word slave differently. Presenting the word slave as a common practice in the past, Someone, whose parents/society/race practiced. slavery by 1501 AD up, stays with a feeling of embarrassment deep inside as an immoral practice: doing to others what you, your family, your relatives, your friend would ever endure. So the use of the term slave to ease that. embarrassing helps. But, after all, the immoral blame it carries with it won't go away as long there are people who are thinking. If the Greek word would convey the word dulis as slave or bound servant, the most common word to describe this in servitude, either by choice for a better life/protection or as fir a debt, us SERVUS. From servus, we have serve, servant: by choice or for a debt not able to pay (2 Kings 4). And, if it still used as slave, the way that individual will become e slave/servant will never be viewed the same way. eaves of the 1501 up by Western Europe is different. First, the Hebrews, the Romans did not have a new world where to dig for gold, to plant sugarcane, etc. And to find those guys/slaves, you have to encourage wars between themselves, any of them captured would be sold. That's why that captured had on his mind to fight or revenge of that evil act. The servants or dulis/slaves of the Hebrews, of To e are never as dangerous as those brought in the New World. That's why the slaves general uprising in 1791 in Saint Domingue// Haiti was so brutal. Apostle has become a servant: by love not by fear of a gun..
lol so this guy is saying that the prime minister during Ahkenaten’s reign was named “something el”, they were located in the delta. Then there was Heliopolis, the city of the sun, ra. And then the last one was in upper Egypt and it was the key! South of aswan, and that land was ran by a queen and her name was isis. The land of IS-RA-EL is the entire land of Egypt, now who woulda thought that??
Tell them, the POWs with high value were brought into Egyptian high society, it’s no different than what America did with the Nazis. After they won they took thier best of the best and brought them to America
Nothing New. Big words and a lot of "now we know". But the good old Godpel has never been any different: We are saved and excepted by faith in order to shine for Jesus doing g good work. In other words: Justification and sanctification. Good evangelical doctrine. Why do you and NT.Wright such a fuss?
thanks for sharing & much information is useful 👍
It never happened that the BIG CHEESES would make sure to have a big properthink banner at the top of any of his old materials. That would never happen. It would be unmousable. AnuthhhherMousieStorie.
WITH ALL THAT'S HAPPEND !!! SCALIA WAS MURDERED !!!
Why should it be surprising that the ancient Jewish scribes knew a lot about Egypt ? They lived right next door! They traded and fled to Egypt during all kinds of difficulties and were annexed by Egypt for 900 years! None of their familiarity with various details of Egypt proves the validity of the Exodus tale. But there is reason to believe the authors of the tale invented it very late, probably during the Hellenistic era.
I suggest John Lennox, et al read Ellen G. White's The Great Controversy, Uriah Smith's Daniel and The Revelation, C. Mervyn Maxwell's God Cares.
God Bless You!!! Thank you for this video you posted!!❤
Funny, they tell us right in the name that it’s fake. Artificial intelligence. Because it’s not real intelligence.
God permited the people of Israel to posses slaves as slavery was an established institution because of the sin of man whose corruption and evil lies within the heart and also as a token of judgment for that sin some are taken into forced servitude. Just as God commanded the Israelites to conquer the land of Caanan God by his Sovereign will chose to give them as a permanent home by violently annihilating and expelling the inhabitants for their great sin and evil. This record stands as a reminder that the same God is going to judge and punish the whole human race who have not found forgiveness and redemption from sin in the promised Messiah of Israel which is Jesus or Yeshua the Son of God and sin bearer of his people. Isaiah 53. Yes God chose a nation of sinners to severly punish and judge other sinners and deprive them of the same promises and blessings He chose to provide for the children of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. That God chooses to be merciful to one nation and not another is openly revealed in the Bible. No one deserves mercy for every one of us have an evil and sinful disposition as fallen corrupted beings and we all deserve Gods judgment for our ungodly, unholy, impious, impure and morally perverse hearts. Jeremiah 17:9 Romans 1:16-32; 3:10-18; Mark 7:15,20-23, John 3:16-19; 7:17; Ecclesiastes 7:20. In fact the Israel and Judah both fell under the wrath and judgment of God for their sin and disobedience. First Syria, then Babylon and the Romans spoken of Messiah Jesus in Matthew 24. Tribulation to every soul who does evil to the Judean first and then the Hellenist. Romans 2:9 Slavery is a result of mans native sinfulness and those who were taken in slavery represent evey soul enslaved to their sin. In Revelation 6:12-17 slaves and their slave masters will also stand before the one who sits on the Throne and cry like the rest for mountains and rocks to crush them rather than stand before a holy and righteous God who all have openly and blatantly sinned against. Slavery is one of the sins named by Paul as the Greek translated means more than just kidnapped but with the intent to enslave. Which is forbidden for any Christian. In Philemon Onesimus was a slave who would have been a slave before Philemon was truly saved or born from above. So he was an unbeliever however Onesimus became his slave under Roman law. In fact many Christians were slaves who were active in the churches of the first century as many slaves were given privileges and certain freedoms as long as they pleased their masters. Paul and Peter both give Christian slaves instruction to be obedient to their masters including those who were harsh. Because slaves had the leverage of manumision by Roman law thanks to Augustus some may have been manumitted by a willing slave owner but for those who would not allow it the Christian attitude was to remain under it because one could still be a faithful Christian and serve the Lord even under and despite those circumstances. If they were able to secure manumission according to Roman law and the good will of a master then fine but if not they were to sever Christ under the yoke and be a witness for the gospel of salvation even to a slave master. Of course that runs counter to human instinct and pride to be submissive under such circumstances but God will provide the grace and strength and patience to endure. Because such a Christian will be rewarded in the age to come while their slave masters will suffer the horrors of eternal damnation. Revelation 6:12-17; 20:11-15. All of this certainty upset human beings who only see what is in this age and have not experienced true saving grace in salvation as it is expressed in john chapter 3 for example. In Philemon Paul does not encourage Onesimus to seek manumission at the time because mainly because Onesimus has just been saved and conveted in Rome as he obviously heard the gospel and became a brotherly companion to Paul who speaks of his new faith and gospel experience. Not only that but Paul also acknowledges that though a slave Onesimus did not have a right to take what did not properly belong to Philemon, who, as a believer, held on to his slave and that Paul himself would pay whatever Onesimus owed as a redemptive gesture behalf of Onesimus which actually mirrors the very gospel of the redemption all three now shared in the Lord they all loved and served. Paul sent Onesimus back not as a slave but as a beloved brother in the Lord in order to show the love and unity all Christians share in a common Lord faith and baptism. Which is the whole purpose of the letter. There is no indication that Philemon was an abusive and harsh slave master or that Philemon was now under a moral obligation to free Onesimus which he may have done but to show and demonstrate the moral freedom all Christians experience as emancipated from the power and slave of sin. Both Jesus and Paul draw from slavery so common in that world to show the hearts enslavement to sin and the only deliverance from it which is in the gospel which is the power of God to salvation. Surely Philemon would not be averse to manumission for Onesimus and there is no indication that he may not have done that later on. In the meantime Onesimus was to be treated as a brother in Christ and stay on in the same way most of us are employed. A Christian is to be the best employee they can and unlike the unsaved and ungodly Christians are more than willing to do right for their employers. And do so joyfully and honestly. Whether slave in the first century or employee in the 21st century the Christian rule of faith applies. Again contrary to a fallen nature and the so called rights and entitlements of this age. What was permissible umder the Old Covenants is no longer permissible under the new. The old was in preparation of the new and at every stage anticipated it since a Messiah had to come and do the work of redemption on behalf of the people God would save by and because of the life and work of Jesus the Messiah. Polygamy for example was absolutely forbidden for any disciples of Jesus and the real issue of sexual sin is lust not love in the heart which is condemned and is as if actually adultery was commited. The new covenant is about addressing sin in the heart and the absolute need to be born from above as a new creation in Christ the Lord as Jesus and the new covenant doctrine teaches. Under the new covenant the Holy Spirit of God is absolutely present in the life of every trure born again believer. John 3:5 6. Ezekiel 36:27-27 Jeremiah 31:33 Hebrews chapters 8 and 9. True religion as a felt mind heart and soul experience which produces a new nature, that is spiritual life is restored and regained by the Holy Spirit in order for the Christian to live a life pleasing to God in righteousness and faith. To no longer be in the flesh but in the Spirit is what separates the old from the new and why Leviticus 25:44-46 and many other features of the Old covenant no longer are the experience for a Spirit filled evangelical Church. The only hope of a truly sin free and just world is in a new heaven and a new earth as described in Revelation chapters 21 and 22. So all of the conditions of this sin cursed world will be ever with us until the Lord Jesus returns in glory to judge the unsaved unredeemed ans received all of his believing people to himself forevermore. Slavery toletated and practised by professed Christians was sin and abominable and there is no excuse or justification in the word of God. At the same time God is under no obligation to save or show mercy to any. And slavery and all other evils and injustices in this life will prevail as they have always prevailed in human history even our own day etc. Those who have experienced evil things at the hands of other evil people are just as wretched in heart as their oppressors and both will be judged. To one loves God and no one is good or righteous and all are in revolt against heaven and heavens God because they want nothing to do with a God of wrath Judgment who does not live up to their idolatrous and selfish ideals. No one wants a God who demands punishment for sin and is only appeased by the death of Jesus on the cross for that sin. In fact we love our sin and boast of it. From atheism to the sexually perversion of the modern age human beings revel in their sin and if God chooses to allow and bring terrible things to an ungodly ungrateful and thankless world including mans inhumanity to man it is because we deserve it and it also stands to remind us that a final judgment where each will receive the exact punishment for what they have done and divine justice will exact to each just as they deserve as their will be degrees of punishment in proportion to what one is actually guilty of. The slave master and slave trader will receive the far greater penalty but the slave is not off the hook for the sins of their heart and committed before they were enslaved will be judged and dealt with punitively as well. This is what God revealed about Himself whether we like it or not and whether we think if fair or just. God does not answer to sinful puny man but puny man will answer to God on judgment day and he will lose and the loss is for all eternity. I say repent turn from sin and plead your case before Jesus the Saviour and call upon him to save you from your sin and moral impurity. Acts 17:24-31 Romans 10:10-17 God is able and willing to save to the utmost all who come to Him through Jesus the Son of the living God. Read the gospel of John and the book or Romans and pray for true and genuine salvation my friends it is the only hope or face the Almighty. Behold now is the accepted time behold today is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:2. This is the all important thing anyone of us must consider. Are you saved and in a state of grace? Do you have Holy Spirit faith? May God save sinners today.
Four Christians talk for an hour about slavery and the scriptures, and not a single mention of Leviticus 25:44-46. It's like they were doing everything they could to avoid talking about slavery in the scriptures. Such intellectual cowardice! Chattel slavery is defined as "the enslaving and owning of human beings and their offspring as property, able to be bought, sold, and forced to work. Another definition is: "The condition in which one person is owned as property by another and is under the owner's control, especially in involuntary servitude." Leviticus 25 explicitly describes and condones chattel slavery. "44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. 46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour." Under Mosaic law, foreign slaves were chattel slaves. They could be bought, sold, separated from their families, beaten, raped, killed, kept for life, and passed down as inherited property. Every specific reference to foreign slaves in the Bible is to deny them rights and protections afforded to Hebrew slaves. The treatment of foreign slaves was every bit as bad, or worse, than slavery in the Antebellum south.
If your defense of biblical slavery is "Well, it wasn't race-based", then you have lost the debate.
Paul does not condemn the institution of slavery in Philemon. He asks ONE Christian slave master to show mercy on ONE slave, because that slave is a Christian. That does not even come close to condemning slavery.
"People who were enslaved were sometimes in a better economic position than those who were not enslaved." Well, the same thing could be said about slaves in the Antebellum South. "Some slaves were better off than some non-slaves" is, frankly, a rather disgusting argument. The question is whether slaves as a group would be better off economically if they were not slaves, and the answer is "yes". Absolutely. This is the level that apologists have to sink to in order to defend their religion.
"Is the Bible pro-slavery? No!" Uhm....YES. The Bible explicitly condones and promotes chattel slavery in Leviticus 25:44-46. If you have to lie to defend your beliefs, it is time to get new beliefs!
Race is not part of the definition of chattel slavery but, in fact, Biblical slavery was also race-based. So his argument is not only moot, but it is false.
How was it race based
@@elmortbo Only people of non-Hebrew ethnic heritage could be kept as chattel slaves. Learn your Bible.
@@cygnusustus Or you need to learn what race-based really means. 'Ethnic' and 'race-based' are not really interchangeable terms.
@@elmortbo Child, it specifies people of Hebrew heritage cannot be kept as chattel slaves. Heritage is race-based.
@@cygnusustus Drop the condescension please. Leviticus 25 doesn't specify a racial taxonomy as the basis for slavery. It says that outsiders may be bought as slaves. That's not a racial basis, that's simply an in-group out-group designation.
Not a single Ancient Near East scholar on the panel....

Sadly some Archeologist will take the position that nothing outside of what they can dig up dictate history thereby undermining the input of historians.
May God richly bless Dr. Wallace. thank you!
Have a downvote for putting in that racist, sexist bit against white men at the end. The Bible does not say "we are all one in Christ Jesus except for white males". In fact it says the opposite.
I believe that the Little Red Hood created the universe.. Can you prove me the opposite?????????
Amen

The one we came to hear doesn't have her microphone turned on. Hope it's better tonight.
Can't hear a word Amy says. Very disappointing.
Look fwd to hearing this but when Any speaks all sound is mute Have no idea what she’s shared 😥
When they discuss the Cry of Dereliction- " My God My God , why hast Thou forsaken Me " and the mystery of how God could forsake Himself within the Godhead/Trinity, I wondered if Jesus became fully "us" in that moment, experiencing our despair and abandonment, so that we could become fully Him- His last act of taking on our humanity in death, completing the incarnation so that we could completely partake of His divinity...? After all, God is one in the Trinity and how can He abandon Himself ?
Phenomenal ❤ this is one of my favourite people on earth
