Joel and Acts: "Pouring Out Of My Spirit" (Joel 2:28-32)

Joel and Acts: " Pouring Out of My Spirit " An Examination of Joel 2:28-32 and Acts 2 by Lonnie K. York 09 Nov 2020** Introduction The subject of Peter's introduction to the first gospel sermon has been an arena of controversy throughout the Christian era. It is not disputed that the words of Joel refer to the day of Pentecost, rather to the duration and extent of this prophecy. What did Peter have in mind when he used this prophecy to introduce his sermon? To what extent did Peter intend his auditors to understand the use of this prophecy? We shall attempt to answer these questions. The questions that we need to examine in this study are: What are the limitations of this prophecy? Was this prophecy fulfilled entirely on the day of Pentecost; did it extend only till the end of the Apostlic Age; or are the promises extended throughout the entire Christian Era? What is meant by the expression " Pour out of My Spirit " in this text? Does it refer t...

The Lord's Supper

The Lord's Supper by Paul Walker 1988 PSN 09 Nov 22020** The purpose of the earthly life of Jesus Christ was His sacrificial death. He came into the world to die. In Mark 10:45 Jesus said, " Even the son of man came . . . to give His life a ransom for many. " When Jesus died on the cross, that was not a change in the plan: that was the plan! It was not a bad ending to a good beginning. His crucifixion was God's plan from before the foundation of the world. It had to be done — and it had to be done in God's appointed way and in accordance with God's divine timetable. The death of Jesus Christ is the focal point of all redemptive history. From the slain animals whose skins were used to clothe Adam and Eve to the slain Lamb of Revelation who is worshipped in glory and majesty—the cross is everything. Paul, the great apostle and teacher, knew the supreme value of the cross; so much so that he declared with steel-like conviction: " For I determined not...

Interpreting the Moral Principles of the New Testament

Interpreting the Moral Principles of the New Testament by Raymond Fox 1988 PSN 10 Nov 2020** In the teachings of Christ there are some moral laws that describe very specific behaviors such as the prohibition against adultery. There are also moral laws or principles that are very comprehensive, each covering a large range of similar forms of behavior. An example of such a comprehensive moral principle is Jesus' command to seek first the kingdom of God. The problem encountered with comprehensive moral principles is that a passage containing such a principle is often cited with reference to a specific conduct without showing the relationship of the principle to the specific behavior. The passage loses its force when the relationship is not clarified. The question is: How can comprehensive moral principles be clarified and taught in such a way to show the relationship between the moral principle and the specific behavior? The goal of this study then is to demonstrate how to...
