God has put me around unbelievers and has put me in a situation where i study theories regarding the new testament's composition and thrusts. this has been a turbulent experience for me. the Lord has not abandoned me, but i am constantly consoled by the fact that God put me in this class (i had even tried to avoid the professor altogether!). i have also been led to Jews to share the gospel, and without a clear picture of who Christ is by the Spirit, words can have a very malleable nature. i know that Jesus is yehovah in the flesh. this journey is just beginning for me, but your post, with its scriptures are encouraging. i pray for the Spirit to give me utterance when i open my mouth to proclaim that Jesus is God, the heart of this gospel, with boldness and without fear as it ought to be. i love you brother.

]]> Comment on The Happening by Justin http://ajcoffman.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/the-happening/#comment-26 Justin Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:35:55 +0000 http://ajcoffman.wordpress.com/?p=21#comment-26 "And so the entire force of nature comes to a complete standstill as they embrace one another, and the calamity which has killed millions of people seemingly comes to an abrupt halt at this exact moment." I must disagree with this point. In an earlier scene someone on TV predicts that the phenomenon will end between 9 and 10 the next day (maybe not those hours but he does give a timespan). When the couple meet outside the time comes up and it is within the timespan, therefore this was Shamylan's "twist", not a metaphor. Had the time not come up I would agree with you but because the time comes up it becomes obvious this is the twist of the film. “And so the entire force of nature comes to a complete standstill as they embrace one another, and the calamity which has killed millions of people seemingly comes to an abrupt halt at this exact moment.”

I can't believe that a church anywhere would allow an Arian or other heretic to teach in the church. However, I would imagine that the majority of people in churches today are closet heretics about the trinity. Because it is so rarely taught about, or even mentioned. I guess the fact that we don't say the creeds in our churches could have something to do with the rampant false doctrine. peace be with you Adam, Stephen Lawson Wow.
