I’ve done that myself Gordon.  It IS fun.  I’ve pulled out the Greek interlinear as well as an easy to use word dictionary and an easy to use Greek elements book and showed them how to look stuff up.  It doesn’t last more than one visit though.  Then I have to wait until the next group arrives who doesn’t have my house pegged.  :^)

But are the main heresies of the past the ones our churches are struggling with today, or do we have our own?  What about the ‘new clericalism’, the prosperity gospel, the still-dodgy understanding of guidance, notwithstanding Phillip Jensen and Tony Payne’s excellent book?

Hi Gordon,

Thanks for those links you provided to the resurgence website.  Worth checking out!

Hi Gordo,

I have looked at Justin H’s Monothelitism article and keep wondering about this statement:

there are two wills and two centers of action in Christ, but not two persons:

I wonder what it means? I don’t think it is the exact wording of the council and it looks suspiciously like there are two “willing subjects” at work. It might not be Nestorian (the “one person” bit is meant to guard agains this), but it certainly has overtones of the peculiarly Antiochene idea that Christ had one person and two hypostases (hypostasis here meaning a particular expression of a nature).

A quick search shows me Migliore (Faith Seeking Understanding p. 173) saying something like this – I winder if this where JH got it. But Migliore also says “the Antiochene concern was more prominent” at this council.” I think this is correct and should make us cautious.

Sorry. You got me on my thing.

She never let them in, he cried again through his china wholesale shoes laughter as he stamped on gaitered feet over the gravel of the path. Stephen closed his air jordans for sale eyes to hear his boots crush crackling wrack and shells. My two feet in his wholesale jordan shoes boots are at the end of his legs. One of her cheap air jordans sisterhood lugged me squealing into life. He lays aside the lapboard whereon he drafts his jordan basketball shoes bills of costs for the eyes of Master Goff and Master Shapland Tandy, filing consents and common cheap jordan shoes searches and a writ of Duces Tecum. The hundred headed wholesale air jordans rabble of the cathedral close. A hater of his jordan shoe websites kind ran from them to the wood of madness, his michael jordan shoes mane foaming in the moon, his eyeballs stars. A garland of grey hair on his jordans wholesale comminated head see him me clambering down to the footpace, clutching a monstrance, basiliskeyed. And at the same instant nike wholesale shoes perhaps a priest round the corner is elevating it.
