Going back means choosing the chains of bondage again. Like a dog to his vomit. <br /><br />This man is blind and deaf... I have had discussion with many like him over the years over another controversial doctrine found in Acts. Some times we just have to disagree.<br />God Bless Keep up the conviction. Your Exegisis is some of the best I have seen written.photo_tanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693036635554420822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694749190352504306.post-3479476885943111292009-08-28T08:12:57.660-07:002009-08-28T08:12:57.660-07:00"He Didn’t Hear a Word I Said..."

His thoughts are not of Godly prayer and study of the times. Clearly, all of the early texts that speak of baptism speak of a naked baptism. <br /><br />At our church, we baptize naked. We are, however, a nudist church.Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863439117101560823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694749190352504306.post-65901359846660000932009-08-17T20:42:45.416-07:002009-08-17T20:42:45.416-07:00Hey, Jerry,

(Now, Athanasius, on the other hand... he's the history prof!)<br /><br />I have considered writing a book that is more theological and exegetical in nature about the image of God on our bodies, and a more biblical view of the unclothed body.<br /><br />At this point, however, I'm still just moving forward with the blog, and eventually, a website by the same name.<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement. You can save the posts and share them. Just give attribution to the blog site authors.<br /><br />Take care.<br /><br />MattMatthew Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422612844080337155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694749190352504306.post-82832720359480053282009-08-17T10:18:21.077-07:002009-08-17T10:18:21.077-07:00Matt wrote: "If you follow the links on his p...Matt wrote: "If you follow the links on his pages, you can find out who he is and what church fellowship he is trying to be a voice for."<br /><br />I mentioned that in the last post in your previous blog. He is part of a splinter group of the Worldwide Church of God. They are NOT associated with WCG. They are teaching the old doctrines WCG set aside for the Trinitarian doctrine. I know how he thinks and how they are taught. So it's like banging heads against a brick wall. Since he rejected the changes of the WCG, I would no doubt believe he will accept anything anyone says outside of his personal denomination. What they say is "true" is true in his mind and he is not there to learn and grow. He is there to confirm his beliefs and tell everyone else his "truth". Truth in and of itself is not sufficient. It has to be the truth of HIS church.<br /><br />Boyd <br />http://christiannaturism.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694749190352504306.post-44716287724295285722009-08-17T07:27:57.907-07:002009-08-17T07:27:57.907-07:00Matt

Of course, these same people (of this particular church) will agree with you on that. They pray too, and I pretty much guarantee that they pray and study the bible at least an hour a day, and have at least three prayer times a day in their closet. As I said in my previous post, I know because I was one of them at one time. (See? there is hope, I'm here)<br /><br />Our goal is not to pray them to naturism, but to Gods' will. Matt is right, this is not the way to popularity, especially among the elitists of society. You will be persecuted if not now, eventually. <br /><br />CNC is posing to become a persecuted group if we keep sticking our naked Christian butts out there. It does not matter if we call our selves Christians, they will call us "So-called Christians" (Literally)<br /><br />As long as they ignore the truth, the truth will never set them free.<br /><br />BoydAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694749190352504306.post-5748187081139999792009-08-15T22:18:15.677-07:002009-08-15T22:18:15.677-07:00I am sorry for the pain of the last few years, esp...I am sorry for the pain of the last few years, especially the relational pain. I have experienced a fair bit of the same, and it reminds me of Jesus' words about such, if we are going to be his disciples, and the commitments it will take. Keep the faith, brother, and have courage about pressing on! Hopefully, we will be salt and light as Father accomplishes His purpose through us.SteveNTLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694749190352504306.post-70612021414966671672009-08-15T18:42:24.055-07:002009-08-15T18:42:24.055-07:00If you follow the links on his pages, you can find...If you follow the links on his pages, you can find out who he is and what church fellowship he is trying to be a voice for.<br /><br />MattMatthew Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422612844080337155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694749190352504306.post-41409280502531611362009-08-15T18:34:13.707-07:002009-08-15T18:34:13.707-07:00One must wonder who this guy is.

He seems to deny teachings of early Christian leaders that a majority of non-Catholic and non-Orthodox Christians readily accept, even as the Orthodox and Catholics have always accepted.Naked-Unashamednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694749190352504306.post-61647430997015601932009-08-15T05:46:39.033-07:002009-08-15T05:46:39.033-07:00It often amazes me how often this happens, and not...It often amazes me how often this happens, and not just with the topic of nudity and the Bible.<br /><br />I am convinced that people believe that when they get to the judgement seat, there will be a doctrinal quiz and if you answer wrong, you don't proceed.<br /><br />The only other possibility is that we have fallen into the trap outlined in Romans 1 & 2 and have started worshiping our doctrine rather than the one the doctrine is about.<br /><br />Just to be clear, I think it is a good thing to "Study to show yourself approved". We just need to remember to take off the "glasses of prejudice" prior to studying so we know what is really there.bn2benudenoreply@blogger.com
