The Seventh Day Lounge. Because it is good. Exodus – *PLEASE READ*. September 3, 2012 in Uncategorized. Some of you may be R3’s from last year’s Biblical Theology course, others could be the latest addition to our high school line-up, just scratching the surface of Church History (like me, except I’m a grade above you, in this case). But now, whether you’ve been here for a year or for a week, it’s time for me to relocate. So, in the spirit of a new year, I’m moving to THIS URL. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Augustine’s Homily | Ex Tenebris Lucem
https://extenebrislucem.wordpress.com/2012/10/31/augustines-homily
Prepare to delve into the convoluted mind of Dan…. Augustine is undoubtedly one of the most famous early church leaders. His writings and teachings are well known in the Church. This week, we are looking at his homily on 1 John, specifically Chapter 1-2:11. [i]. Our sins and our fallen nature prevent us from ever having fellowship with Him like we could in the Garden of Eden. This is the truth of our fallen state. But hear what John says in the last part of verse 7, and the blood of Jesus, His So...We ca...

Augustine: Synergism vs. Monergism | Ex Tenebris Lucem
https://extenebrislucem.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/augustine-synergism-vs-monergism
Prepare to delve into the convoluted mind of Dan…. Augustine: Synergism vs. Monergism. Just as Augustine transitioned in adulthood from a nonbeliever to a Christian, over time his theological beliefs changed as well. The main change in his beliefs was his shift from synergism to monergism. Synergism states that salvation is mostly. Augustine explained that there was no such thing as evil, only the absence of good. This is just like darkness being the absence of light. His synergistic beliefs show...Augus...

Modalism: Divine Schizophrenia | verticalstudent
https://verticalstudent.wordpress.com/2012/10/10/modalism-divine-schizophrenia
Loving God with my mind. October 10, 2012. Every Sunday, I work in Children’s Ministry with a class of 2nd Graders. One of the latest lessons was about the Trinity. To avoid confusion (and heresy), we have been asking the kids, Well, there’s the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So, are there 3 gods? To which the kids reply with a resounding No! But why do we put such emphasis on understanding the Trinity? Modalism is the belief that God takes on different appearances, or modes. It should be clear to you now...

Is the Bible Complete? | verticalstudent
https://verticalstudent.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/is-the-bible-complete
Loving God with my mind. Is the Bible Complete? Is the Bible Complete? August 29, 2012. Saint Clement, the author of 1st Clement. A lot of the time, people don’t question the completeness of the Bible. It’s only until they study the history of the Church and the Bible that they wonder When they were putting the Bible together, did they really include everything? Or were some letters and books missed or overlooked? One such letter is 1. Clement included in the New Testament? I think the main problem with 1.

Theosis: God’s Spirit in Us | verticalstudent
https://verticalstudent.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/theosis-gods-spirit-in-us
Loving God with my mind. Theosis: God’s Spirit in Us. Theosis: God’s Spirit in Us. September 26, 2012. Well, that’s not what the Bible tells us we’ll be doing. It says that we will glorify God for all eternity, and it will be. We’ll all live in a huge city, and God will make everything new. What God intended to be the Garden of Eden, He will make into the whole world. There will be no sadness, pain, sin, or death! Well, what do the Gnostics believe? However, with Theosis you must take extreme caution!

Eternal Security | Ex Tenebris Lucem
https://extenebrislucem.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/eternal-security
Prepare to delve into the convoluted mind of Dan…. As stated already, there appear to be some Scripture passages that contradict the concept of eternal security. These are just a few of the more commonly quoted verses. First, Colossians 1:22-23: In the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight if. There are many passages that talk clearly about the concept of eternal security in the affirmative. I will list two of these passages. The firs...As it...

Modern-day monks | Ex Tenebris Lucem
https://extenebrislucem.wordpress.com/2012/11/28/modern-day-monks
Prepare to delve into the convoluted mind of Dan…. Roman culture was morally in shambles. The religion, society, and government of 500 A.D. were governed by greed. Benedict of Nursia saw this pit of slime and pulled away from culture completely. He went into solitude, withdrew from society and lived a life of isolation. This all begs the question. What would a modern-day Benedict do? What would his new order look like in today’s culture? What would it look like? First off, they would geographically isola...
