Mark, Where do you fall in End times theory? Is Jesus putting everything right quickly at the end or is it a progressive thing where even though things look bad, the gospel actually continues to gain ground until all enemies are under his feet? Are you partial preterist or pre trib or what? PA, You trying to get me fired? Just funning. Well, I'll say this. If I come to campus or the hospital tomorrow and some are gone..... and I'm still here..... whatabboutmeLord? Too late. I'm pre-millennial on that occurrence as well. Over and over and over He gives blessed opportunities as He calls. Here it comes..... But, remember Ecclesiology is not the Gospel Just curious. I thought you might be a partial preterist Calvinist in theology. I'm leaning that way, well, not the Calvinism part, but I was raised on rapture theory, and just can't see it in scripture. Not that it matters as far as the gospel.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Our last semester is the capstone course on ecclesiology. Makes sense to cover the previous 65 Books and then
..... take it on Home!

I think that if The Lion Of Judah comes soon it won't matter. But since no ones knows when he will come - just in case he does not I would hope that the people of the year 4020 will still be trimming their wicks and looking up. I'm sure some people will be thinking that whatever plague or disease they have then is worse than those people 2000 years ago had. They might even think we were stupid for getting a vaccine. Or who knows - they might not believe it happened. It will depend on who tells the story. Since statues are being taken done and history is being re-written what will people in the year 4020 learn about us? I don't think many people will care - they will be too self-absorbed.
Just passin through

I don't think today's bible would be a big seller, what with quite a few centuries having gone by without any cool things happening such as seas being parted, nets being mysteriously filled with fish, jugs of water turning into wine, every animal in the world lining up two by two to go for a boat ride. I had a really cool thing happen to me last week while hunting deer. I feel sad for those who cannot see everyday miracles...must be quite the dreary life.

And 2,000 years from now people get to read about the persons, families, places, treaties, kindness, corruption, wars, famine, pestilence, love, hatred, blessings, curses, and on and on in 2020.
Would they "look back" on us and say, That's a bunch of baloney. That never happened?
Probably. What evidence would we leave behind that our Good Book is true? Jim

If the bible were still being written, we wouldnt know how the story ends.
Seen a few mention the gospel in this thread. Be interested to what some consider the gospel.
Ive never bought into the sinners prayer. The gospel to me is grace alone through faith alone and has nothing to do with works in any way. One of my professors, a top 5 worldwide scholar in Historical Theology, who'se preached in Calvin's church twice in Geneva, gradated from DTS many moons ago and said when he left here with a PhD degree over 50 years ago, his version of the Gospel message was = 3 pages, front and back, single spaced.... .... and he began a lifetime in ministry. Today, his Gospel message, he's come to realize is 10 words; Christ came for our sins, was killed, and rose again.Says he's trying to figure how to whittle it to 9 words. He's my favorite professor as far as pastoral ministry encouragement. Dr. John Hannah. Blessings, Mark

Why was that so important to Him? I find it very interesting that even though thousands of folks had direct access to eyewitness accounts of His miracles, many still didn't believe. you seem to be demanding absolute proof. it has NEVER worked that way...even when He walked the Earth in human form.

If the Bible was still being written it would probably tell about a rushed vaccine that almost wiped out the world population except for a few that didn’t take it. Think about that. Be lots more open country for us to trap but fewer people to sell our furs too!

Blessings, Mark Not that I disagree with that short statement, but my question to him would be, who is "our" and is it 'our' choice ? I know what I believe, its just that I think a little more info is needed. Maybe not 3-pages though. Although there are probably more, I am familiar with two schools of thought on this. The first is you have a choice. You can choose god or reject him. Its all on you. Then there is sovereign grace. Here you dont do the choosing, god does. No 'works' you do is going to get you through the gate. You cant even have faith or believe unless you are called by the father.

BS is BS
That includes the OT, NT, and whatever crap is being written now.
