    I know it's been 6months. I have not been well so I just pop into Theology Forum when I get a note about a discussion. I'm sorry you misunderstood me on the book of Hebrews. The Bible tells us it was written to Christian Jews who were in danger of turning back to Judaism.
    They were being shunned by their families a lot of them lost jobs because they followed Christ. Before the Temple was destroyed in 17 AD these Christians were going to temple and living as Jews. James thought that was how it was supposed to be. The book of Hebrews is a warning to them that if they left Christianity and turned back to the Temple that God would no longer accept their sacrifices. Once Jesus died on the cross He was the better sacrifice and the only priest who could be the go between to God on their behalf. Even though the book was written to them it is for our learning and understanding even though we live in the Church Age and should get our church doctrine from the church epistles we can learn things from the whole Bible.. I study every book of the Bible but I know better than to take a sacrifice to church.

    It is a hard read but so far I've pretty much agreed with his theology. It basically corrects a lot of Aquinas' theology and his dependence on Aristotle.

    I'll let you know how the BCP prayer is when I'm done.

    I'm not very far through it yet but it's good so far. "The Book Of Common Prayer" is part of my study of Anglicanism/Episcopalianism. I'm trying to get through "The Bride Of Lamb" by Sergei Bulgakov cause I'm really studying Orthodoxy right now.

    You did not dream it. Read it earlier this year and very much enjoyed it. He is imminently quotable but the writing is dated by the "current" events he repeatedly references - an edition with solid footnotes will be helpful. You will find it an engaging and largely enjoyable read!

    Theology over lunch next week. I'm a bit deeper into Wright's book on Jesus. Definitely see some things to chew on...

    I am sure that is refreshing. I like the poet William Blake. He said that the gospel is best understood by a child. A lot of Christians consider Blake a heretic but I think ideas like that are right on the money.

    I will check it out tonight. I think I know the doctrine he teaches that you are referring to. It may be something worth discussing if you're up for it.

    :-) Well thanks. I like to be of help if I can. Doesn't mean that I am necessarily right but I try to do my best to speak the truth as I know it.

    My favorite so far, and the only one I've read is, The Holiness of God. I've read some of the articles at his website (Ligonier.) The ability to see his preaching/teaching on his website is great.

    Reading a good book is much about the conquest. And Tozer should never be lent or borrowed, only owned and read repeatedly. If someone needs a copy, just go buy it for them!

    After reading your profile; I always hate to let people borrow my books, so often they don't return them, or they don't take as good of care of them as I would.
    Sproul and Tozer of some of my favorite writers.

    thanks for your encouraging words. We still have far to go in reaching God's plans for us. But I do think we seem to be on the right track.

    Constantine is probably a good historical bookmark. David Jeremiah makes the comment that much of what is seen in Roman Catholicism has its roots in this period. To paraphrase, he states that Roman Catholic worship is largely sanctified paganism. He points to the fact that many of the "professional clergy" (pagan) didn't want to lose their jobs when Constantine declared for Christ so they changed jersies without changing hearts and habits.

    Some truth there if I have a guess. Look forward to hearing more of your observations from this read. It's been on my radar for about a year. Just haven't picked it up.
