The Narrow Path Ministries

Marshall, You are right to assert that the issues seem black and white to me, but they weren't so always. I spent a couple years working on the issue of power while in college, looking at it from every angle I could, every political theory, every idea about government that I could. I also looked at ...

I tend to think that power is to be distrusted; we should be suspicious. Anyone who wants the job of president who desires that kind of power, is asking for an aweful lot of trouble. I don't know if a godly Christian would run for presidential office, and even if one did, I am not sure that all the ...

This is an article from a website www.jesusradicals.com and I think is a good explanation of Romans 13. I hope it helps. Deconstructing Romans 13: Verse 1-2 Nekeisha Alexis-Manners "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities...

Bradshaw: I will try to respond to your response of the previous response of the previous response ad infinitum. I differ in some ways than Steve's answers; he is a little more integrative than I am, but this subject is an important issue for me because of its implications to power, the kingdom of G...

I think that he justified it by saying that Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus, both of which were dead, and Samuel, t...

I think that when dealing with interpretation, it is a hermaneutical principle to let scripture interpret scripture, though I am not sure who made up these hermaneutical "laws", so they may be challengable. In regards to the temple and Revelation 11, I think that the other place in scripture that an...

I am not sure that the doctrine of Sola Fide can be reconciled with James and Paul and Peter and Jesus and the prophets and the whole testimony of scripture. Sola Fide is a Reformation doctrine and I understand that Luther was trying to respond the the putrid Catholicism of his day, so much so that ...

I wasn't raised in the charismatic/pentecostal circles, though I frequent them now and again now, so when I came across the idea of soul ties, it was with much interest because it was new to me. I mean, if these things were so, and God didn't want you to have them, who wouldn't try to rid them? As I...

Is it not possible that the Olivet Discourse(s) in Matthew and Luke are an account of what was goign to happen to Jerusalem as a sign of Christ's Messiahship and that the book of Revelation as given to John could pertain to things after that event? Is it possible that there are two different events ...
