Faith Kindred

I’ll be writing for about an hour here.

I would tend to agree with @Daeus and @Mark-Kamibaya, though again I’ll disqualify myself by confessing I really haven’t given this much thought. It does seem to be a question of belief in God’s sovereignty though.

There is also this verse—

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who…

@his-instrument A guy who dies ad 34? You know, I’m not positive about that. I can’t think of any reason it would be impossible for him to be saved under the old covenant off the top of my head, but I kinda doubt it. I guess my reasoning is that if God wanted a jew saved, he could get them to hear about Jesus. So, if God’s not in a quandary, why…[Read more]

@daeus @kate-flournoy @northerner
Not only do you all have fantastic wisdom, but you are also incredibly prompt.
Yes, I understand what you mean about the crossover point being when the Jews rejected Jesus. But I’ve always wondered, what about the Jews who were nowhere near Jerusalem? Who maybe never met Jesus? Who lived in other lands, and…[Read more]

@his-instrument Yeah, I’d pretty much agree with Kate. One other point I’d make is that the new testament ushered in the new covenant and a covenant is two sided, so it includes God. Thus, I’d say in the new testament era, God’s is saving people through his new covenant only, that is, directly through Jesus. So even if a Jew didn’t know about…[Read more]

But if that is the case, then at what point in history did the crossover happen? At what point did salvation by the faith of the patriarchs become “not enough”?

@His-Instrument when the Messiah came and they rejected Him. The justification of faith was not only faith that God exists and is powerful, but faith that God would keep His promise and…[Read more]

While I’m asking deep theological questions about salvation, here’s another one.
I was doing some reading about salvation in the Old Testament, and ran across Romans 4, which talked about justification through faith for the patriarchs, and justification through belief in Jesus Christ, called “the same faith,” for…[Read more]

I like Silver Spark or Silver Flame…all the names are cool, really, but I like the meaning and things you could do with Spark/Flame. I really like Dimwood too, but that might be a bit long for a name.

@winter-rose I wrote 153 then got distracted with research.

@winter-rose If you’re still on, I’ll join you. I’m just planning to write one scene, so I’ll go until whenever that’s done and then tag you.

@Dragon-Snapper lol! I love it! Poor owls… that wasn’t too well thought out, was it? 😛

@alia
I am so sorry. That breaks my heart. Praying for her family.

@aysia-serene
I haven’t seen the movie in a while, so I don’t remember that much of the plot. XD I just remember that they strayed from the books and that always makes me mad. 😛 And yes about Klaus not having glasses! That was SO annoying. Which is your favorite book in the series?

@dragon-snapper It’s been an hour, so I’m gonna stop now. I wrote 649.

Hey, you were able to do it @dragon-snapper.

@dragon-snapper Wow. Defeated? And I didn’t even have to do anything. *pats self warmly on the back*

@dragon-snapper Ha! Didn’t you say I banished you? Oh well, you can return anyways.

I’m gonna be writing this afternoon. Tag me if you’re in.

I’d prefer dimwood and then silver.
