He had stated that there was a progressive healing taking place post-AD70. I took this up with him and stated I agreed and pointed to John 14:12 (any believer doing the works of Christ) as the MEANS by which progressive healing took place. At the time he expressed favorable (but moderate) interest. So the tagline of RCM is what got me.<br /><br />On their forum I asked Sam HOW he perceived this progression was taking place. His answer was that as we adhere to the obedience of God's laws, "blessings" would come. Of course my response was, "that sounds like law, what about the grace of God exhibited in Christ where I get the blessings of God based on CHRIST'S OBEDIENCE and not mine?" But, Jason labeled me a "hyper-healist" and has treated me as such since then. BTW, I'm not complaining... I imagine Jesus was a hyper-healist... hahaha.<br /><br />Anyways, you are probably correct. All that may be left is the intellectual message of the gospel. But for me, I'm more of a theology-meets-the-road kinda guy. Intellectualism "puffs up" as Paul says (1Cor 8:1), but love edifies (heals). It is almost like we're back in the Garden choosing between the Tree of Life VS the Tree of Knowledge.QuantumGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410047060125951426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278360302231776916.post-25178515679697524942011-11-29T17:40:43.606-08:002011-11-29T17:40:43.606-08:00Greg, though I'm opposed to FPism, I couldn...Greg, though I'm opposed to FPism, I couldn't help but chuckle when you pointed out to Jason Bradfield that his site's tagline is: "Bringing Healing thru Knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ" after Jason asked you not to turn every thread into a discussion about "healing". -- http://thereignofchrist.com/the-presence-of-christ-lesson-in-logic/comment-page-1/#comment-8828<br /><br />Lastly, people need more than just "knowledge of the Gospel" (Clarkianism is intellectual more than it is spiritual). Propositionally and intellectually just knowing about the Gospel doesn't help people. The Gospel needs to be PREACHED to the nations. But maybe this is RCM's left over FPism talking. I mean, if they still think the Gospel has been preached to all the world, then maybe they all they have left it their "intellectual" message.<br /><br />The guys on RCM (Really Conceited Men) are hopelessly elitist and contradictory.Roderick_Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02169535715630771551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278360302231776916.post-55871620641532422302011-11-28T20:26:03.990-08:002011-11-28T20:26:03.990-08:00Thanks, Bert.Thanks, Bert.QuantumGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410047060125951426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278360302231776916.post-4372561016173151172011-11-19T16:25:28.170-08:002011-11-19T16:25:28.170-08:00Greg,
