Russell's Blog: The Old Testament Sword
http://regentrussell.blogspot.com/2010/10/old-testament-sword.html
Russell is a English Degree. Student at Regent University. Saturday, October 23, 2010. The Old Testament Sword. It seems too many Christians think that God’s Old Testament Law is impossible to keep, and that is the reason (they presume) it has been made obsolete. The assumption is that keeping it perfectly would result in one’s salvation, and since no one can keep it perfectly, an alternative (Jesus) was needed instead. I have argued earlier that God’s law is indeed possible to keep. This is why it would...

Russell is a English Degree. Student at Regent University. Monday, April 20, 2009. Significance of Blood, Water and Spirit. There are good reasons Saint John reported water and blood flowed from Jesus’ side after the Roman soldier pierced him with a spear. The medical explanation is called pericardial tamponade. 8211; a condition usually resulting from major chest trauma. Then, water and blood flowed from his side. Water, blood, spirit. Monday, April 13, 2009. A warning: When to "pluck out the right eye".

Russell is a English Degree. Student at Regent University. Sunday, November 8, 2009. This is still the best news we could ever hope for. He will do this with a man who He has appointed – and this man is unmistakable because, as a sign to humanity, God raised him from the dead. There is convincing historical evidence of this. This man is Jesus the first-century Jew. His life, death and resurrection were foretold hundreds of years before it happened in numerous ways and places. Image: photo of a portion of...

Russell is a English Degree. Student at Regent University. Monday, March 29, 2010. On Personal Illusions and a Chisel. I was ungraceful in how I dealt with this. I became argumentative with my wife and my moods were always changing and extreme. One moment I was crimson with anger, the next I was despondent and depressed. It was the most I’d ever suffered. Is personal progress then the meaning of suffering? I don’t presume to suggest such an easy answer to such a difficult enigma. But I don̵...

Russell is a English Degree. Student at Regent University. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Tares and Wheat of the Heart. What does one do when, in the heart, vice and virtue share a common desire? 8211; a desire that if fulfilled would result in someone else’s good, but may also secretly feed the ego and contribute to personal corruption? Love both happen to have the same hope in mind for my new friend: that he would come to see Jesus as the Truth. Because all those things exist. (These realities are unanim...

Russell's Blog: June 2009

Russell is a English Degree. Student at Regent University. Monday, June 22, 2009. Strength Concealed by Weakness. See is what astronomers call the “Observable Universe.” The observable universe is so massive there’s nothing in our language that can summon the proper perspective, so we’ll deal with our galaxy, the Milky Way. What is it about God that motivates him to take such a humble approach toward us? This divine yet humble nature seems paradoxical, but it is very true to the Biblical concept of God&#...

Russell is a English Degree. Student at Regent University. Saturday, May 16, 2009. Some Reasoning for Only One Way. One of the most common objections to our faith is the exclusiveness of Jesus. Skeptics will ask, “How can God be fair, making Jesus the only way to the Kingdom, when millions of people have lived and died without ever hearing of him? But why offer some people a chance to God and not others? If we ask this question we are limiting God – how can we know this is the case just because som...

Russell is a English Degree. Student at Regent University. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Purgatory: A Likely Reality. I could a tale unfold whose lightest word. Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,. Make thy two eyes like stars start from their spheres,. Thy knotty and combined locks to part,. And each particular hair to stand on end. Like quills upon the fretful porcupine. Hamlet, 1.5.15-20). 2) They claim there is no scriptural support for it. This harmonizes with very many Christians' experienc...

Russell's Blog: Why trash the Law?
http://regentrussell.blogspot.com/2009/03/why-trash-law.html
Russell is a English Degree. Student at Regent University. Monday, March 9, 2009. Why trash the Law? Can anyone point out in the Bible a claim that it’s not possible for people to be able to keep the entire Old Testament Law? I often hear Christians say it is impossible to keep God’s Law, and that’s why Jesus came. 8221; (Duet. 30:11 and 14, ESV emphasis mine). Of the Lord. (Luke 1:6 emphasis mine). There is grace in the Old Testament! Jesus pointed out the difference between following the Law and not si...
