For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me. <br /><br />Joh 10:32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?" <br />Joh 10:33 The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God." <br />Joh 10:34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I said, you are gods'? <br />Joh 10:35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came--and Scripture cannot be broken-- <br />Joh 10:36 do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? <br />Joh 10:37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; <br />Joh 10:38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."</b><br /><br />Sometimes the outcome of obedience to authority seems correct.<br /><br />The situation is stark and there is a great gulf between these two sources of divine Authority, Reformational Authority and that that the RCC works from when establishing Truth in this world devils full.<br /><br />As we see with those verses from John's Gospel, where Jesus refers to His "works" as a source of understanding from "Who's" Authority He spoke and did what He did in this life, we see a similar appeal by the Apostle Paul, here:<br /><br /><b><i>Eph 3:13 So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory. <br />Eph 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, <br />Eph 3:15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, <br />Eph 3:16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, <br />Eph 3:17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love, <br />Eph 3:18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, <br />Eph 3:19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. <br />Eph 3:20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, <br />Eph 3:21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.</i></b><br /><br />Seeing Paul makes reference to "all" generations, I am hopeful that we shall see and know similar in this and subsequent generations, if there are any more coming?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-5663656021218166882010-12-09T17:16:39.941-05:002010-12-09T17:16:39.941-05:00Hmmmm, very interesting!
A couple of things I wou...Hmmmm, very interesting!<br /><br />A couple of things I would respond to from this article:<br /><br />1. <i>The point of it all had not yet been fully made.</i><br /><br />2. <i>i) You can’t assert authority unless you have authority to assert. Yet Jesus, the apostles, and other NT writers, are appealing to the OT to authorize their claims.</i><br /><br />To number one, I offer these Words from the Scriptures to show that completeness has come. Some just are not attaining to it, yet, if ever?<br /><br /><b>2Ti 3:1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. <br />2Ti 3:2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, <br />2Ti 3:3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, <br />2Ti 3:4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, <br />2Ti 3:5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. <br />2Ti 3:6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, <br />2Ti 3:7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. <br />2Ti 3:8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. <br />2Ti 3:9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.</b><br /><br />continue:::>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-69743923943143879212010-12-09T16:54:15.829-05:002010-12-09T16:54:15.829-05:00"But Jesus, the apostles, and other NT writer...<i>"But Jesus, the apostles, and other NT writers don’t appeal to a magisterium when they debate their fellow Jews.
