Amillennialism

I was just reviewing Murray's biography of Pink and it appears that in addition to being put off by arminians and HC's, Pink was also blocked from fundamentalist pulpits due to his open criticism of dispensationalism. He was lonely but not of his own choosing.

 

Dear marcia,

You're "grasping at straws," girl! If I lived in the OT, I would believe in only one God as well. Would that have been heretical then?

I don't "mix" the Personages of Father and Son in any way remotely like they do. As to the "subsummation" (is that a word? :laugh, I think you are only vaguely familiar with what you are talking about -- just familiar enough to be "dangerous" to yourself and others.

He is the power and force of the wisdom of God. All spirit deals in intellect, emotions, and will. Again, read Prov 8. In the OT, He was, basically, the word of God or embodied in God and "the angel of the Lord." His activities "animated" men like David, but it was by "filling," not by indwelling.

In the NT, He achieves "Personhood" when He indwells the believer in a similar way as a demon receives personhood when he "possesses" a sinner (the first examples being that "sons of men" pre-flood).

I missed that. Where? Because I would NEVER believe that He wasn't God. I would say He wasn't the Father. I would say that He appeared as "the angel of the Lord" or as an "angel" to Abraham, etc.

But you have gone beyond trying to understand what I have been saying, haven't you? You, like the Pharisees did to Jesus, are trying to "measure me for my coffin!" As you may recall, they were rejecting the kingdom.

The difference is of the same substance as opposed to like substance. It's the Iota of difference.

 

Well, let's think about that. Does that mean Jesus unglorified substance was the same as God's glorified substance? Or that Christ's glorified substance (mount of transfiguration) was the same as His own unglorified substance?

That is one aspect of dispensationalism, but it in no way refers to the nature of God. God's nature (including that of the Trinity) never changes. Christ is the same, and always has been--the second person of the Triune Godhead--the Word.

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

The Lord is Jehovah. The Jehovah of the OT is Jesus of the NT. He is the One that saves.
You seem to have brought Christ down to the level of an angel, where angels have the ability to take on a human body when necessary, and otherwise do not have one. Does Gabriel always have a body, or did he just assume one when he appeared to Mary? Christ is not an angel. He created the angels, and all the universe.

There will be no more change in him anyway. There never really was. He always remained deity--the second person of the Triune Godhead.

His nature did not change. God took upon himself a body. He is still the same God. God changes not.
