Regarding Christianity and the attacks on it from any source, I seem to recall the words of a great Rabbi named Gamaliel. Although the Bible does not record this fact, it is a truism that this Gamaliel was the protege of Hillel the Elder, one of the most revered and important teachers in Jewish history. Gamaliel said in Acts 5:38,39: ...."for if this counsel (the Gospel) be of men, it will come to nought, But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God." Now I'm sure that Mr. Mohler believes in the inerrancy of Scripture, as well as the Sovereignty of God. Believers have got to stop thinking that they must wage holy war against reprobates and unbelievers. Some of us sound like Winston Churchill gearing up against the Nazis. "We will fight them on land, we will fight them on sea, we will fight them in the air etc". "And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear:FOR THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S"
1 Sam. 17:47. We could include "or ballot box" to swords and spears for the sake of the political activists out there. Just preach the Gospel "in season and out". His elect have been chosen "from before the foundation of the world". His "rain falls on the just and the unjust". "Rest in the Lord". Amen ? |

I do not personally believe that cremation is Biblical, but I'll save the in depth argument for another time. This article has merit though. I believe that the traditional, Jewish orthodox way of dealing with the corpse is the most Biblical. No embalming. Wash the body, wrap it in a shroud, put it in a plain wooden box and bury it before the following sundown. Remember man, "dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return". Gen.3:19. To try and load the corpse with toxic embalming fluid, stuff cotton into the orifices, crazy glue the eyelids and lips, cover it with makeup, put it on display and then seal it in caskets and vaults so that it will remain free from rot for 100 years is a poor example for people who believe that it is just a temporary jar of clay, and is awaiting it's glorious resurrection when even the sea shall give up the dead. |

What do you expect when so called "Fundamentalists" such as John Hagee teach that Jews don't need Christ since they have their own deal with God? This is the same nonsense that Papists used to call "Baptism by Desire" as a way around John 14:6. The Puritan, Reformed, Protestant, Covenant Theology was and remains the only true understanding of God's Salvation plan as found in Scripture. Any deviation from that hermaneutic position, be it Popery, Pentecostalism, Adventism (in all it's "Left Behind" silliness), or extreme Christian Zionism is Christologically weak and rife with error. Salvation is by Grace ALONE, through Faith ALONE, in Christ ALONE, as revealed in Scripture ALONE, for God's Glory ALONE. If you can't understand this, believe it, and live it, pray for God's intervention because you are headed straight to hell, no matter what brand of "Christian" you believe yourself to be. |
