Jesus as King
dualistic presuppostions are at stake, Pastor S; note,
e.g., how Deegan dualizes the definitions in this thread while DavidM
dualizes, actually bastardizes it to 'legalism'...there is an
important distinction betw JC, the King, and the KoG in the NT, but the
NT distinction/s, rooted in eschatological dualism, are anathema to
philosophical dualists/fundamentalists--however, that the NT does not register
in their minds, acc to KBarth, is at God's
discretion

some kind of grand departure from the truth (we really do have our share

You have a choice: you can
read and accept these scriptures; you can correct me in love and
patience; you can evoke the name of the Accuser and bash
away. But I am going nowhere and the truth will
happen.
I don't do it unless someone consistently
entertains him and his ministry comes my way JD; I'd much rather take the
other option.
Christ came as King.
He came as Messiah to
offer His ppl a Kingdom they were not part of just yet.
He was the Kingdom (the kingdom is in your midst).
Wait a
moment - I thought you just said He was the King? Actually that scripture
in Luke is referring to the Holy Spirit - Jesus also said that when he
cast out Satan with the finger of God ppl could know that the Kingdom of
God had come upon them (Luke 11:20) - Let's stick with the Word
here.
He died as the King of the Jews
He died as a
Suffering Savior - the Jews King at the time was Herod and they were all
of the same spirit.
and was raised to sit on the kingly
throne of David. Praise be His name.

Your legalism even effects the way you search
the scriptures. You want one defintion for a particular Greek
word to fit all textual usages of that word. You miss so much.
