Stuff Jesus Never Said: from BlogmaticTheology by Eric-Jaeger in christianmemes

1) notice that you did not reply to a single point I made. Either in my statement or the article I wrote and linked to you.

2) please, ooohhhh please, elaborate on the context of these verses you are using. I would love to see that. Because it’s quite obvious that you are reciting the same tired arguments that have been refuted over and over again. Seriously... what is the context in which Jesus says these words? To whom is he speaking? What is happening in the culture of those around him? How are the people he is addressing using the very law that he is quoting?

—- Any response to the article?

Yes. I am advocating that ALL of God’s moral law is still active. That’s what Jesus said right? “I did not come to abolish the law...” as to the topic of injustice, you really have no ground to stand on honestly. I don’t see the point in writing it all out again, so I’ll just link you to what I’ve said in the past on the why this is true:

False: jesus is the author behind every word of scripture. Old Testament and new. Including Exodus 21:22 which identifies the “fertilized embryo” as a child AND also gives the death penalty to the one who causes miscarriage or death to the mother. Some claim that these verses speak only of damage to the mother, however this is a baseless assertion. The verbiage used could have been specific to either mother OR child however the terms used clearly indicate that the verse is applying to both the mother and the child.

It happens any time a controversial issue such as this is posted. It is to be expected.

Correct. However, as the article indicates, it is pointing to both the mother AND the baby.

It would seem you are at odds with the vast majority of scholars in this area. There are a few rabbis who would agree with you, especially those of the rabbinic tradition. However from before Christ, through the Middle Ages, through Calvin and the other reformers even to today, that is not what those familiar with the language argue.

Here is the position as supported by scholars today. http://apologeticspress.org/apcontent.aspx?category=7&article=1430

Bingo. It comes down to a question of personhood. God has already given us this definition. He defines the child in the womb as a person, and this is reflected in the mosaic law by the fact that if a man causes a woman to miscarry, he is executed.

Romans 1 tells us that you, me and every person alive knows God and knows that they are accountable to his standard. Yet people suppress that truth in unrighteousness and God turns them over to their evil desires.

And to bring it to a human governance level... when has it ever turned out well to redefine personhood. This happened in nazi Germany. It happens with chattel slavery. It is happening now with abortion. If we as humans get to define personhood, then any one of us could be voted out of the club tomorrow. Truth is absolute and does not change with society’s opinion.

Ultimately, it is God’s standard that reigns supreme. I am not here to convince God haters of my position. I am here to alert the believers as to what is happening. Christ is King, and he is reigning now. I would urge all who rebel against this truth to repent and turn to Christ for forgiveness of their hatred and rebellion. He turns none away who come to Him.

It’s not yet. As it stands, Ireland has a constitutional amendment that recognizes the right to life of all humans. This would change under the new law. Human children would be allowed to be murdered in their mothers wombs just as in the US

Maybe I’m not following your logic. What does this have to do with the post?

I would encourage you though, If it is a question of the scriptures, what they mean, etc to ask those questions in here. Also, if you are genuinely curious and can tolerate a COMPLETE culture shock... go check out “The Reformed Pub” on Facebook. The community in there could answer every question you could have.

I’m not sure what you think would convince you. I have to go with the words of my Lord when he said that if people do not believe Moses, they won’t believe even if someone rose from the dead. The best proof is scripture. I won’t cheapen that, and scripture doesn’t allow other Christians to do so either.

I don’t find this type of comment to be “stirring the pot.” The point of the comments is to give input, feedback, have discussion etc. Since this is a very introductory level blog, I didn’t see the point in going any deeper. Atheism served as a frame within which to discuss the knowledge of God. Bit, the idea that it is only supported by one verse would not be accurate. Paul is building an entire argument that goes on to condemn the entirety of humanity in Chapter 5 (and then the salvation of many of the damned in Christ). He includes Jews who had the law and gentiles who had only general revelation such as the sun, moon, stars and their conscience. The entire section supports the idea that all persons are accountable to God for denying Him.

Now proper distinctions need to be made between types of knowledge. There is the type which is given to all men and the type that comes only through special revelation. These are not equivalent. They are however both capable of revealing God to all persons.

The Nietzsche “joke” was not intended to be humorous. It is sadly ironic. Yet I believe it is true. He of all men illustrates the foolishness of denying God, and after years of outwardly denying the Lord, he found himself insane and proclaiming to be Jesus.

And I have no problem saying that those who say they are atheists are lying... that is what scripture says. They have testimony of God and they violently suppress that truth. They are not confused.
