In Topic: Question Regarding Using Fiction to Teach Theology

18 June 2014 - 05:01 PM

You are wise not to expect the forum to be used to advertise your book. That would not be acceptable. However it just so happens that a trilogy of the same genre that you have described has been written by the mother of two of the main posters on this forum. She spent a number of years meticulously undertaking the research. It was no trivial effort. The first of the books has been used as the basis for a musical play. As far as I know Sue is not on this forum but if you want advice from an expert you could ask to be put in touch with her.

I told the Lord God this you have said to me. His reply to me was...

How did the Lord God reply in this way to you? You might understand that we could be skeptical about this. We are instructed to test the spirits. You have given no indication of how to test your claim of receiving direct divine communication.

 

Stephen. If you continue to quote Scriptures without any explanation of what you infer from them then the value will continue to be very limited. We still don't know much about you. You are a male from San Antonio who claims to receive answers directly from God.

Stephen.

 

The valid point that BDW makes is that all the quotations about keeping the commandments of Christ are not controversial, but nor do they seem to lead to any conclusions that are not obvious. I have been waiting for you to continue whatever argument you might be building. Perhaps you are going to say:

We must keep the commandments of Christ

X is a commandment

Therefore we must keep X.

 

But you have not yet developed such an argument.

Stephen. I don't understand what point you are making. You have just quoted several Scriptures.

Stephen. It is good that you are motivated by the desire to help people bless the name of the Lord. Rather than enter a structured Bible study it might be better to discuss what you think is important. The commandments of Christ are vital for our Christian walk. And foremost among these is the command to love one another. Obviously is not law or the keeping of commandments that saves us, but we cannot be saved without this. In other words the faith in Christ that saves us is only genuine if our life-response is faithfulness to what Christ wants of us.
