It was not that social justice came in with the prophets, it was that the people had forgotten (or rejected) the Law that was already there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458269118174673968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15361927.post-1157772806305912692006-09-08T22:33:00.000-05:002006-09-08T22:33:00.000-05:00The church has always rejected and killed the prop...The church has always rejected and killed the prophets. God has always raised up those who can be used by God to shake the tree or stir things up. The current church hated John The Baptist and also Martin Luther. Those preachers and teachers in high places never wanted the bible widely distributed. God used a person that the church hated (Saul) to write 3/4 of the new testament. Why not one of the twelve decyples? I think because of all the legalism and the Judaisers. The twelve decyples went to seminary for three years with God teaching yet somehow they missed something. God used them for the gospel and as martyrs but somehow used the Pharisee of Pharisees to write most of the new testament.thecomingwitnesseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15820322038810095740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15361927.post-1157702562481273862006-09-08T03:02:00.000-05:002006-09-08T03:02:00.000-05:00somehow I don't think many other Christians starti...somehow I don't think many other Christians starting with Genesis may be the right place for dealing with potential political changes in the present, in part because of the long history of Constantinization of the Church and how that, through doctrines like "Divine Rights of Kings" has been used to reify the status quo or selective changes to it.<BR/><BR/>There is an exegetical issue here, but it has not been resolved.<BR/>dlwDLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17709279441985086959noreply@blogger.com
