John 14:6 JESUS saith unto him, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

JOHN YORK-Lipscomb University: "That means that texts like John 14.6 are NOT articulated as proof texts of superiority."

The invented FALLACY is that Churches of Christ think that THEY are superior: they think that God's word delivered by HIS Holy Spirit (breath) is SUPERIOR to sorcery (spiritual formation) or Theology which history defines as MYTHOLOGY specifically the study of APOLLYON or other pagan gods.

So he has brought the indictment against you for making innovations in religion, and he is going into court to slander you, knowing that slanders on such subjects are readily accepted by the people. Why, they even laugh at me and say I am crazy

Corrupting the Word is "selling your utterences at retail" used of prostitutes.

Certain men are stirred to violence because Disciples of CHRIST refuse to FELLOWSHIP or be taken captive by groups who do not USE nor DEPEND on Jesus' WORD (Logos Regulative Principle).  Historical Theology promoted by John York and Keith Stanglin is NOT what historical theologians believed.

The UNIQUE way to be IN the WAY of Christ is Baptism. Those who  believe that Jesus is the WAY to be SAFE from this crooked or perverted World-Order accepted the promise that BAPTISM SAVES.

Theologians REPUDIATE the Spirit's connection between BAPTISM and the remission of sins required before Jesus will let men read BLACK text on BROWN paper.

SORRY BUT CHRISTIANS RESIST THE THIEVES THAT BOAST THAT THEY COME AT NIGHT MEANING INFILTRATE AND DIVERT.

NO ONE THINKS THEMSELVES SUPERIOR.  However, it gives authority to resist THEOLOGIANS who even question the claim of Jesus which is terminal blasphemy.  It is psychological and sometimes real violence to MAKE A PROFESSION of trying to get people to DENY the role of Jesus Christ. And, yes, Father and Son were INTELLIGIBLE contrary to Lipscomb University theologh.

John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
        He that entereth NOT by the door into the sheepfold,
        but climbeth up some other WAY, the same is a THIEF and a ROBBER.
John 10:2 But he that entereth in by the DOOR is the SHEPHERD of the sheep.
John 10:3 To him the porter openeth;
        and the sheep hear his voice:
        and he calleth his own sheep by name,
        and leadeth them out.
John 10:4 And when he putteth forth his OWN sheep,
        he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him:
        for they know his voice.
John 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow,
        but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers

Jesus used the sheep, shepherd and sheepfold as a PARABLE.

John 10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them:
        but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them

JESUS EXPLAINED THIS TO HIS DISCIPLES: The sons FROM God. The sons of the Devil have no right to hear

John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily,
         I say unto you,
         I AM the door of the sheep.
John 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers:
        but the sheep did not hear them.
John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in,
        he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
        I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not,
        seeth the WOLF coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth:
        and the wolf catcheth them, and SCATTERETH the sheep.

Jesus made it a Salvation Issue to belong to the York-Rejected WAY that is called a SECT.

John York: MY thoughts today are taken from a presentation II made this past January at our preaching workshop.
        The theme of the workshop was Preaching and Interfaith Dialogue,
        and I was assigned the task of asking how to conceptualize such conversations
        in light of the oft-quoted I AM statement of Jesus.

THE LORD GOD SAID:

Ex. 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said,
        Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Ex. 3:15 And God said MOREOVER unto Moses,
        Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
        The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,
         hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

THE MAN JESUS SAID:

I AM the Son of God.

Probably ALL Theologians say that Jesus of Nazareth was really THE GREAT I AM.  Why should a Bible student invite such people in to invite the widow-owers to GET OVER IT OR GET OUT.

The absolute mandate from Jesus to any one who authorized to serve is to PREACH The gospel of the Kingdom.  Widows and honest workers do not have the luxury of repudiating the Word and and FELLOWSHIPING those who contradict Scripture.

FELLOWSHIP means "We need your property for the INSTRUMENTAL SECTARIANS."

Acts 19:9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not,
        but SPAKE EVIL OF THE WORD before the multitude,
        he departed from them, and SEPARATED  the disciples,
        disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

Rom. 1:1  Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,
        separated unto the gospel of God

1 John 1: 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it ,
        and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life,
        which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

1 John 1: 3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you,
        that ye also may have fellowship with us:
        and truly our fellowship is with the Father,
        AND with his Son Jesus Christ.

1 John 1: 4 And these things WRITE we unto you, that your joy may be full.

1 John 1: 5 This then is the message
.....which we have heard of him,
.....and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

1 John 1: 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

1 John 1: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
..... we have fellowship one with another,
..... and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

John will choose to REPLACE the Words of Jesus.  How else could one get paid to CORRECT holy Scripture

John 8:22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself?
        because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
John 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath;  
        I AM from above: ye are of this world;
        I AM not of this world.

Jesus told the Jews and all of His ADVERSARIES that they were:

1. From Tartarus and their father was the Devil. They are marked by speaking their own words

G2736.  kato,  kat´-o; also (compare) katotero,

2. They are OF this World, the Kosmos, Ecumenical the Kingdom of the Devil  fighting the kingdom of Christ

John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins:
        for if ye believe not
        That I AM  he, ye shall die in your sins.

John 8:25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them,
        Even the same that I SAID unto you from the BEGINNING

WHO IS FROM BENEATH? WHO IS NOT A CHRISTIAN AND CANNOT LET THE WORD SPEAK.

John 8:29 And he that sent me is WITH ME:
        the Father hath not left me alone;
        for I do always those things that please him.
John 8:30 As he spake these WORDS, many believed on him.
John 8:31Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
        IF ye continue in MY WORD, THEN are ye my disciples indeed;

JOHN YORK, KEITH STANGLIN AND ALL THEOLOGIANS REPUDIATE THAT CLAIM.

The experience in many ways was more than I bargained for.
       I found myself not just exploring
       the apparently EXCLUSIVISTS claims of Jesus in John 14.6

Theology replacing READING THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN FOR OUR LEARNING DENIES JESUS' CLAIMS
            
       and the competing NARRATIVES  and understandings of other religions'
              BUT also many of the COMPETING narratives WITHIN MYSELF

THERE IS NO COMPETING NARRATIVES.

There is, then, my friend, a combination of right opinion with rational [logon] explanation, which cannot as yet properly be called knowledge?

The really difficult part has been to name all of MY own contributions to exclusivism
        and the great distance that exists
                between MY understanding of Gospel
                AND
                WHATEVER! it is That John the writer HAD IN MIND when he wrote this text.

Walter Brueggeman, WELL to make a long story short,
        the authors of the Bible had their own particular godly MOTIVES
        for bringing these texts before us; and
        the MORAL lessons aren't always written in front of us.

Walter.Brueggeman.Rejects.Scripture.Lipscomb.University.html

LIPSCOMB UNIVERSITY THEOLOGY AND THE AUSTIN CENTER REJECTS SCRIPTURE.

Stanglin also considers Jesus’ own parabolic interpretation (or that of the NT authors) as “imaginative” and “allegorical,”

Matt. 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables;
        and without a parable spake he not unto them:
Matt. 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house:
        and his disciples came unto him,
        saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.

Believing readers co-create meaning with the text

                (1) within liturgical life of the church,
                (2) in the confidence of the sacramental function of Scripture, 
                (3) the transformative presence of the Holy Spirit.

Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you
        of the common salvation,
        it was needful for me to write unto you,
        and exhort you that ye should earnestly
        contend for the faith which was
        ONCE delivered unto the saints.
Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares,
        who were before of old ordained to this condemnation,
        ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness,
        and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jude 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince
        all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds
        which they have ungodly committed,
        and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Jude 16 These are murmurers, complainers [blaming Fate],

JOHN WROTE AT A TIME JEWISH-GREEK "SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN" CONTRADICTED SCRIPTURE.

The Synagogue of Satan never accepted that the MAN Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah.  Therefore it was really GOD IN THE FLESH (Leonard Allen)

Leonard Allen: The very truth about Christ--that he is God in the Flesh,

The MAN Jesus of Nazareth CAME IN THE FLESH 30 years before God Sanctified and Sent Him into the World.

The Apostle John may have died as late as ad 98-100 wrote of the same same heresy.

1John 4:3 And every spirit that
        confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:
        and this is that spirit of antichrist,
        whereof ye have heard that it should come;
        and even now already is it in the world.

Rom. 14:9 For to this end Christ both died,
        and rose, and revived,
        that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

John 14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
John 14:5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord,
        we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

JESUS AFFIRMS That God made himself known as a singular person. He HIDES from the wise or sophists meaning speaker, singer or instrument players.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him,
        I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE:
        no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

God the Father Gave Jesus this power because "He was the Son of Man."

John 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:
        and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Keith Stanglin, John Mark Hicks and ALL disciples of Walter Brueggeman question the sanity of Jesus to claim that HE-SINGULAR was God's IMAGE or FORMA. The Three person Godhead in the Lipscomb University PATTERN was first preached at FHU in 1938 and first published by President H. Leo Boles of LU.

"Many of the hymnals in the Churches of Christ change the lyrics of “Holy, Holy, Holy” from “God in three persons, blessed Trinity” to “God over all and blessed eternally” demonstrating that Campbell’s aversion to the Trinity is alive and well today in the Church of Christ. James Attebury.

Father.Son.Holy.Spirit.Trinity.Blasphemy.html

I said at the time that a better name for MY lecture was "Confessions of a Recovering But Often Obstinate Sectarian Exclusivist."

TO BAD: Jesus defined the WAY (road, pattern) that is called SECTARIAN. They tiny flock of Lost Spirits are, like Jesus, IN the World but not OF this world. Believers are sons FROM God.  The assembly of Christ is prophesied to be a covert or umbrella as a SAFE HOUSE to hide from the World, Kosmos, ecumenical, kingdom of the Devil, Gender-conflicted proven by PERFORMANCE worship.  Children of God will hide and bow low toward the ground or FALL ON OUR FACE in reverence and Godly Fear.

For the longest time I  believed that in the marketplace of religious ideas, 

[Jesus provided no ROLE and no DOLE in the market place.]

The command of Jeus was to GO SUFFER AND DIE to preach the gospel.  Those pilgrims and sojourners will recognize the election or invitation and be marked and their spirits translated into a heavenly kingdom

Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:
        and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

MY Christian understandings were right and the ultimate trump card over all else provided the springboard for all debate and occasionally some evangelism.

Within the Christian stream itself, the views espoused by my   TRIBE  were the superior understandings.
        Even in graduate school at Emory,
        where it quickly became apparent that anyone still believing in the resurrection was my sister or brother in Christ,
        I still loyally insisted that my tribe had more right answers than other tribes.

Churches of Christ, in theory, knew NOT to have an opinion; The Word, Logos or Regulative Principle outlawed John York's failure to WORSHIP by "Falling on His Face in reverence and Godly fear" and INABILITY to discover that SCRIPTURE provides nothing to INTERPRET about Preaching, listening, singing, playing an instrument, acting, STAFF or PAY TO PLAY out of the Widow's purse.

I stayed in Churches of Christ, [Infiltrate and Divert is foreordained by Jude]- I  told MYself, because every group has their weaknesses and we still have more right answers-or at least  I could say that  I know this family's dysfunctions (which was to say quietly, "And they are not as bad as yours!").

JESUS SAID THAT JOHN YORK AND ALL SUCH THEOLOGY-REPLACES-HOLY SCRIPTURE WERE NEVER ADDED TO THE ASSEMBLY BY CHRIST.

John 8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you:
        but he that sent me is true;
        and I SPEAK to the world those things
        which I have HEARD of him.
John 8:27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them,
        When ye have lifted up the Son of man,
        then shall ye know that I am he,
        and that I do nothing of myself;
                I speak these things.
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me:
        the Father hath not left me alone;
         for I DO always those things that PLEASE him.
John 8:30 As he spake these WORDS, many believed on him.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
        IF ye continue in my WORD, THEN are ye my DICIPLES indeed;

Churches of Christ CONFESSED the common name used by scholars

http://www.pineycom.com/ChofChristName.html

Churches of Christ agreed with all historic Scholars who accept Scripture that Jesus HEARD the Words of God.

God always puts His WORD, Logos or Regulative Principle into the MOUTH of a Moses, Elijah and the MAN JESUS for the last time. Until the great tribulation under Rubel Shelly and John York with Jubilee 2000-right on prophetic time--every one was APOSTOLIC and believed that Paul was inspired to say.

Churches of Christ  were Bible-Literate and did not believe that the Law of Moses

The Church or Assembly of Christ is prophesied as a Covert or UMBRELLA.  Church was a SAFE HOUSE and the explicit PATTERN if PROPHESIED and defined many times.

Jesus is the HEAD. That means that HE  is the ONLY Rabbi or Teacher literally but often by never APT elders. Jesus is the Corner Stone or ANGLE.  The Angle was outside the Camp and at the CORNER of pagan or Jewish Temples.  This was a quiet, secret place where the twos or threes can REST and "Learn of Me." For the Lost but found Sons FROM God who naturally OBEY or are "docile" Jesus MANIFESTS Himself in WORDS.  Theologians prove that they cannot read BLACK texts on BROWN Paper when Scripture is PREACHED by being READ once each week.

Rubel.Shelly.Ecumenical.The.Kingdom.of.Satan

The Ecumene or Ecumenical is the World, Kosmos or the kingdom of Satan making war against the barely visible and audible Kingdom of Christ.  The Scriptures and the Classics define the practices of the ecumenical as practicing music connected to pederasty.

1. No one can find a Church of Christ banding together to INTENTIONALLY infiltrate an Instrumental Church and steal their property.

2.Churches of Christ were superior to Hitler or Calvin burning bodies or or SOULS Myles.Werntz.Ephesians.2.Predestination at ACU

3. Neither Scripture nor historic theology believe that GOD CAME IN THE FLESH Keith.Stanglin.Philippians.2.5-11.Being.in.The.Form.of.God.html

4. No  Scripture or Literate Bible Scholarship believes that THE Holy Spirit (God's Breath) is POURED OUT on John York or all of the posted "scholars" at the once-Christian Universities.  ALL active verbs about God's Spirit produces WORDS only.

John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of MAN ascend up where he was before?
John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
        the flesh profiteth nothing:
        the words that I SPEAK unto you,
        they are SPIRIT, and they are life.

5. Churches of Christ have been Bible-Literate enough to Deny Baptism Prophesied, fulfillled by Jesus, Commanded and Practiced FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS.

Ephesians.2.8.by.Grace.Are.You.Saved.Through.Faith.html

6. By Direct Command the Sons FROM God were warned not to attend the assemblies of the Levites nor enter into their Covenant.  The ANATHEMA or Sin beyond redemption at Mount Sinai was "Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted" PLAY both with instruments and one another.  Instrumental tones were sold by Lucifer--the singing and harp-playing prostitute" to even induce KOMA and were used to make the Lambs dumb before the NEVER-COMMANDED slaughter of innocent Lambs.

Ray.Downen.Instrumental.Music.And.Edification.html

6. Churches of Christ follow the Word, Logos or Regulative Principle. The Word OUTLAWS all of the false practices John York LEARNED at his ecumenical university.

7.  No one educated in a historic Church of Christ would intimidate a student to Walk the Serpents Path, and repeat a Mantra that Jesus in His present STATE of Holy Spirit would give you information to Repudiate Holy Scripture.

        and I pray God your
        whole spirit
        and soul
        and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Alongside Yohn York: this view of faith and church has been a way of reading texts. For a variety of reasons, our enlightened access to Scripture as an objective, easy-to-read, anyone-can-have-a-copy-and-read-it-for- himself-or-herself approach has produced an often helter-skelter privileging of some texts over others.

I stretch over 91 years and I have never known a Purpose Driven Discord which did not originate in some institution providing a stack of Sermon Outlines. No one ever read Instrumental Worship in Holy Scripture or Church Practices before men discovered that they could "feather bed" If they learned how too DISPUTE Holy Scripture.  For the first time, the Christian-Disciples Church DISCORDED and then found the word PSALLO to intimidate people into believing that God COMMANDED The brand new Pump Organ.

Paul kept both Psallo and Ode IN the heart or silent because Psallo drags along men finding young men whose hair had been PLUCKED and seduced them by Plucking their Lyre (Alexander the great) and most pagan religions.

Yohn York:  Yes, a wide variety of interpretive tools may be brought to the conversation, but how texts get weighted in relation to one another is one of the powerful forces of differentiation.

THIS PROVES THAT "DOCTORS OF THE LAW TAKE AWAY THE KEY TO KNOWLEDGE".  Why would a BELIEVER try to destroy the Testimony of God about His Son so obviously.

From Genesis 49 the assembly has been a SCHOOL of the WORD.  There is nothing that any religious group does by Hired Performers that is not ANTI Worship.

Believers naturally follow the warning of Peter against Private Interpet or Further Expounding. We READ or SPEAK the Word as God's GENDER TRAP and UNDERSTAND by comparing spiritual  (scripture) with scripture.  We disciples SEARCH THE SCRIPTURE because Jesus said MY WORDS are SPIRIT and LIFE.

Yohn York showing coflict:  We know this about almost any topic. If itís salvation, then Romans 10.9 and John 3.16

Rom. 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

John York may not be ABLE to read the Rest of the Story. Jubilee and the year 2000 is well documented.

ROMANS 10 INCLUDES MANY STEPS culminting with Calling on the Name of the Lord.

Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized,
        and wash away thy sins,
        CALLING on the name of the Lord.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
        that whosoever believeth in him SHOULD not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned:
        but he that believeth not is condemned already,
        because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation,
        that light is come into the world,
        and men loved darkness rather than light,
        because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
        neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

Yohn York:  are pitted against Acts 2.38 or Romans 6.3,4.

ONLY BY THOSE WHO CANNOT READ EPHESIANS 2 AND CLAIM THAT JUST BELIEVING ON JESUS GETS ONE BAPTIZED INTO HIS SCHOOL (only) of the WORD (only)

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them,
        Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
        for the remission of sins,
        and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Faith does not request A holy spirit or A good conscience, consciousness or a Co-perception of the WORD. The unwashed cannot read BLACK text on BROWN Paper (2 Cor. 3)

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
        THAT your sins may be blotted out,
        when the times of refreshing
        shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Acts 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ,
        which before was preached unto you:

Faith includes to comply. Those who teach FAITH ONLY cannot help you have Remission of Sins, Receiving An ability to understand the text without a Theologian. Apistos or believeth NOT means and marks one a traitor and an enemy of Christ.

Rom. 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom. 6:3 Know ye not,
        that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ
        were baptized into his death?
Rom. 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:
        that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
        even so we also should walk in newness of life.

ohn York:  If it's the role of women,

I Timothy 2 is held high over the head

1.Timothy.2.I.Suffer.Not.Woman.to.Teach.html

In ALL of the "silence" passages paul understood that women (then and now) used sex and their madness "as proof in the literature" that the God's spoke only to self-authoring and sex-empowering collecting money for their skills. AUTHENTIA authority is SEXUAL authority exercised when any visible-audible female self-exhibithing. The Men like John say WE USE WOMEN when Paul deprived men in the same.

By absolute proof, anyone who composes their own song or sermon INTENDS to silence the mouth of Jesus as the ONLY teacher when the twos and threes gather to REST and LEARN of ME.

1Tim. 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Tim. 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, 
        and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. [THE only purpose of the assembly]

The purpose of silence male or female beyond the Gender-Sifter words READ or SPEAK that which is written for our LEARNING.

1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE GOD
        and one mediator between God and men,
        THE MAN CHRIST JESUS.
1Tim. 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all,
        to be TESTIFIED in due time.

The Covenant is the Last Will and Testament of Jesus who spoke ONLY what God commanded.
WE civilized people do not get job in "theology" to CHANGE the Will of their departed Aunt

c or Galatians 3.28or vice versa.

Gal328.Gender.Justice.Church.of.Christ.html

Gal. 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free,
        there is NEITHER male nor female:
        for ye are all ONE in Christ Jesus.

Paul said NEITHER.  Jew and Greek are one IN Christ. This does not teach that a Rabbi may be our Preacher. Neithe means that Ephesians 4 did not name a Senior Pulpit Pastor Person.  Ephesians 4 named Elders as the Pastor-Teacher and commanded to Teach that which has been taught.

Jeanene.Reese.LGBT.MUST.be.Included.html

THAT'S TRUE IN ONCE-CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITIES.  In Romans 14 he would eleminate everything that did not EDIFY or EDUCATE.  His reference was to the Women in the Synagogue in Rome.  In Romans 15 we don't do gender checks because the only PATTERN was to "use one mind and one mouth to speak that which was writtern for our learning." Several have noted that the EDUCATION consisted of unison speaking. Then, in the pattern of Thomas Campbell people could leave SCHOOL and live their private lives.
 
Rubel Shelly and John York Work out own Salvation.

Rubel Shelly and John York: Rubel: Let me give you an example to work with in relation to the question you've raised: homosexuality and the ordination of practicing homosexuals to ministry.

Why don't we at least entertain the possibility that the Bible simply reflects an ANCIENT TABOO or homophobic prejudice in a few people like Paul -- a taboo and prejudice we need to outgrow?

John: Remember, our fundamental conviction is that the Bible is the story of God, a dramatic narrative that announces and reveals and invites us into participation and relationship with God and one another.

Every scene in that story has been set in some historical human context. Those cultural settings always have been changing and changeable.

John: We find ourselves engaged in the same divine-human effort, only our cultural circumstances are clearly not the same as those of the first-century world.

TRADITION OR HERITAGE ARE RACA WORDS FOR ANYONE STILL SCRIPTURE-ONLY

And in the case of my own tradition, for the longest time Acts and Paul's epistles were, in general, privileged over the four Gospels.

That is untrue and ungodly. Contrary to trinitiarians, we lear the PATTERN from Jesus.

Matt. 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
        ALL POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matt. 28:19 Go ye therefore,

Rom. 10:15 And how shall they preach, EXCEPT they be SENT?
        as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that
        preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

and TEACH all nations,
        baptizing them in the name [singular] of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matt. 28:20 Teaching them to OBSERVE all things whatsoever I have COMMANDED you:
        and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world [aion messianic age]. Amen.

Jesus and peter affirm that teaching to be the perfected Prophecies CONCERNING ME and defining the Teaching-Only pattern for the church until Jesus returns. Christians engage in EDUCATION by That which is delivered FOR OUR LEARNING.  That is a local congregational fellowship.

John York: There was not room for, or interest in,
        interfaith dialogue when we were
        consumed with intramural debates about which texts win the day.

John York is speaking of men trained to be preachers.  Interfaith Dialogo is not something a preacher should be consumed with. That practice intends to smooth out or even DENY that there is GOOD and EVIL.

1Pet. 4:11 If any man speak,
        let him speak as the oracles of God;
if any man minister,
        let him do it as of the ability which God giveth:
that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

ALL Christians are busy contributing to society because PARASITE defines religious people who ATE UP the widow's hard earned mites.

Jesus died to give us REST which includes the concept of Sabbath or SCHOOL.  Honest people need the new LIBERATION to pursue gainful occupation.  These people have neither the time or inclination to get paid to do Inter-Faith Diologue.

Perhaps most dangerous of all in my world of sectarian exclusivism was a means of differentiating among human beings creating various hierarchies that assigned value to the other.

John 17:11  And now I am no more in the world,
        but these are in the world, and I come to thee.
        Holy Father, keep through thine own name
        those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name:
        those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost,
        but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
John 17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things
        I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
John 17:14 I have given them thy WORD;
        and the world hath hated them,
        because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world,
        but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

John York mutters and not teaching:Sometimes this was done along the lines of socio-economic difference (those "rich people" you know); sometimes education (I know what it feels like to be completely discounted because I'm an "academic snob");

often race and ethnicity; certainly gender; more recently national citizenship; andómost obviously for our immediate discussiono-religious loyalty. One gets the strong feeling these days that to be Christian but undocumented is to be not quite human, even if Jesus is Lord.

Again, very personally, I must confess my own blindness to the ways in which our modern, materialis/-mechanistic understanding of life itself has turned every aspect of life into goods and services for consumption.

IT HAS TURNED THE BODY OF CHRIST INTO A BUSINESS WHEREAS THE SPIRIT PROMISED THE WORD OF GOD, LIKE WATER: WITHOUT COST. Theology is one of the most powerful and costly MERCHANDISING business and is the end-time Babylonianism.

Mic. 3:10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Mic. 3:11 The heads thereof judge for REWARD,
        and the PRIESTS thereof teach for HIRE,
        and the prophets thereof DIVINE for MONEY:
        yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say,
        Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.

The Labyrinth is really a spirial meaning Serpent Worship

The Serpent in the Garden was A Musical Enchanter or Enchantress

Acts 15.[16] It happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.

John York: It has become the unconscious understanding of what it means to be a successful human and a growing church. Consciously or not,
        we have tended to believe that "if we build it, they will come"1
     is not about mythical baseball fields,
        but about church programs and buildings and success-filled promises.

WHAT ALL WORKS OF HUMAN HANDS MEANS "IF YOU BUILD IT SOME THEOLOGIAN WILL STEAL IT."

let's talk specifically about John 14.6.

John 14:4And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
John 14:5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
        and how can we know the way?
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him,
        I am the way, THE truth, and THE life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:
        and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Jesus was made both Lord and Christ about 30 years after He came in the flesh.  Because a Spirit "hath not flesh and bones as ye see ME have", Jesus came in the IMAGE or FORMA of God as ONE SINGULAR PATTERN.

ALL PAGANS BELIEVED THAT THE GODS CAME IN FAMILIES: FATHER, MOTHER (SPIRIT) AND LITTLE NASTY SON. GOD MADE HIMSELF KNOWN IN A SINGLE IMAGE OR FORM. Jesus is the Visible Father, Spirit or BREATH and Son Who articulates.

THE LORD-GOD SAID I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB. Jesus uses I AM in a sentence.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
        I AM come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:11  I AM the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

John 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you FROM MY FATHER;
         for which of those works do ye stone me?
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not;
        but for BLASPHEMY; and because that thou, being a MAN, MAKEST THEYSELF GOD

John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath SANCTIFIED, and sent into the world,
        Thou BLASPHEMEST; because I said, I AM THE SON OF GOD?
John 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

When Jesus said I AM he finished the sentence and said I AM the SON of god and not God..

Ex. 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

When the Lord (yhwh) the only true God (elohim) He said I AM---

        Ex. 3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

JESUS SAID "YOU BLASPHEME" IF YOU THINK THAT I EVEN PRETENDED TO MAKE MYSELF GOD.

John York: The verse is one of the writerís many uses of the divine EGO in the divine I AM remembrance of Yahweh at the burning bush in Exodus (3.14): "I am," Jesus says, "the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one comes to the Father except by me."

Jesus said that I am the PATTERN of INDIVIDUALS FREED FROM CLERGY BURDEN--

THEOLOGIANS

John York: The verse is one of the writerís many uses of the divine ego fo the divine I AM remembrance of Yahweh at the burning bush in Exodus (3.14):

The verse is one of the writerís many uses of the divine ego of the divine I AM remembrance of Yahweh at the burning bush in Exodus (3.14): "I am" Jesus says, the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me."

Jesus goes over and over to prove that He didn't claim to be the Lord-God.  Jesus called the Jews BLASPEMERS for saying that He "made himself God."

"I am," Jesus says, "the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me."
JESUS JUST CALLED THE PHARISEES BLASPHEMERS FOR TRYING TO MAKE HIMSELF GOD. Jesus always denies that He has ANY POWER or ANY WORDS of His own.

Ex. 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said,
        Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,
        I AM hath sent me unto you.

We repeat the repeated claim--in their views--that Jesus claimed to be GOD IN THE FLESH (Allen). It seems that the Theologians do not NEED to read the claims of God.

Ex. 3:15 And God said MOREOVER unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

Ex. 8:10 And he said, To morrow.
        And he said, Be it according to thy word:
        that thou mayest know that there
        is none like unto the LORD [YHWH] our God. [ELOHIM]

Is. 43:3 For I am the Lord [yhwh] THY God, [eloyhim]
        the Holy ONE of Israel, thy Saviour:
        I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
Is. 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD,
        and my servant whom I have chosen:
        that ye may know and believe me,
        and understand that I am HE
              BEFORE me there was no God formed,
              neither shall there be AFTER me.

Is. 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD;
       and BESIDE me there is no saviour.

I AM 91 YEARS OLD BUT I AM NOT GOD! I AM WHAT?

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
        that God hath made that same Jesus,
        whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Matt. 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son,
        and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
        for he shall save his people from their sins.
Matt. 1:22 Now all this was done,
        that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Matt. 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a SON,
        and they shall call his name Emmanuel, [Elohim]
        which being interpreted is, God with us. [Not YHWH]

A SON BEARS THE NAME OF HIS FATHER.

When the angel Gabriel spoke to Joseph and Mary, he told them the name that God had picked out for His Son (Matt. 1:21). In the Old Testament, Joshua had the same name and was a clear type of Christ. It was by way of Joshua’s leadership that he and the nation of Israel were finally able to claim their inheritance in Canaan, which typified Israel’s future Millennial inheritance. However, the “rest” that Joshua gave them was only temporary (Heb. 4:8). Likewise, Jesus is the Agent of salvation for both Jews and Gentiles who believe on him, and for those believers God’s rest will be everlasting.

John York: The problem, of course, is that contemporary citations of this text seldom spend time in the larger context and, even when the context is mentioned, quoting this verse quickly moves to pronouncement.
        A literalist reading of this verse typically assumes some exclusivist understanding.

John York denies:  Yahweh at the burning bush in Exodus (3.14):

ANOTHER REPUDIATE RATHER THAN JUST READING THE TEXT.

In pure proof text form minus any effort at context, Acts 4.12 is often attached to John 14.6. There, Peter is quoted saying, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved."
        Combined together, the resultant EXCLUSIVISM SEEMS  obvious.

Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel,
        that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
        whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,
        even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
Acts 4:11 This is the STONE which was set at nought of you builders,
        which is become the HEAD of the CORNER.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him,
        I am the way, the truth, and the life:
        no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

THEOLOGIANS MEANING MYTHOLOGISTS BY DEFINITION DENY THAT JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY.

John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,  [Paraclete]
        that he may abide with you for ever;
John 14:17 Even the Spirit OF TRUTH; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I WILL COME TO YOU
John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more;
        but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them,
        he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
        and I will love him, and will MANIFEST myself to him.

BAPTISM SAVES because that is the way to REQUEST A holy spirit or A good conscience. Jesus won't TEACH an apprentice the secrets of His kingdom unless you OBEY Him as the only way to pass the ENTRANCE Exam.  Any lover of the Word knows that the grandest degrees in Theology just makes fools of people. God hides from the wise or SOPHISTS: self-speakers, singers or instrument players. These are MARKS that you have no interest in God's words.

        And if any man sin,
        we have an advocate [Paraclete] with the Father,

1John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins:
        and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him,
        if we keep his commandments.
1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments,
         is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his WORD,
        in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him
        ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them,
        When ye have lifted up the Son of man,
        then shall ye know that I am he,
        and that I do nothing of myself;
                but as my Father hath taught me,
                I speak these things.
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me:
        the Father hath not left me alone;
         for I DO always those things that PLEASE him.
John 8:30 As he spake these WORDS, many believed on him.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
        IF ye continue in my WORD, THEN are ye my disciples indeed;

John 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed;
        but ye seek to kill me, because my WORD hath NO place in you.
John 8:38  I SPEAK that which I have SEEN with my Father:
         and ye DO that which ye have seen with your father.

This Arion was a lyre-player second to none in that age; he was the first man whom we know to compose and name the dithyramb¹
         which he afterwards taught at Corinth.

1 The dithyramb was a kind of dance-music particularly associated with the cult of Dionysus.

JOHN YORK REJECTING THE CLAIM OF JESUS:

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other:
        for there is none other name under heaven given among men,
        whereby we must be saved.

JOHN YORK SEES CONFLICT AND IMAGINES THAT:

        John's gospel account sets our eyes on the relationship of Father and Son from the opening prologue: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God" and the Word become flesh and tabernacled in our midst." Jesus is not showing us generic God, but Father.

Leonard Allen: The very truth about Christ--that he is God in the Flesh,

Then John was LYING.

John 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself;
        so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
John 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
        because he is the Son of man.

Rubel.Shelly.The.Regulative.Principle.html

Whereas the early Christians personified the Logos in the figure of Jesus,
the Greeks represented the Logos in Apollon, the god of geometry and music. Another representation was Hermes. [Ibid, p. 46]

Fideler also refers to Egypt: "In ancient Egypt, where the Logos theology appears at an early date, the Greek god Hermes was identified with the Egyptian divinity Thoth. Thoth was the personification of the universal order, the 'heart and tongue' of the sun god Ra who 'spoke the words' which resulted in the creation of the heavens and the earth."[Ibid, pp. 46-47]

The.Golden.Tractate.of.Hermes.Trismegistus.html

As "the reason and mental powers"of the sun god Ra, Thoth was the revealer and speaker of celestial knowledge. These attributes of Thoth were later reflected in the figure of Hermes Trismegistos...the fabled author of the Egyptian Hermetic writings. [Ibid, p. 47]

MY SON, before all things I admonish thee to fear God, in whom is the strength of thy undertaking, and the bond of whatsoever thou meditatest to unloose; whatsoever thou hearest, consider it rationally.[logos] For I hold thee not to be a fool. Lay hold, therefore, of my instructions and meditate upon them,
        and so let thy heart be fitted also to conceive,
        as if thou wast thyself the author of that which I now teach.
        If thou appliest cold to any nature that is hot, it will not hurt it;
        in like manner, he who is rational
        shuts himself within from the threshold of ignorance;
        lest supinely he should be deceived.

The context of the last discourse  and chapter 14 in particularo repeatedly announces the intimate relationship of Father and Son.

j To see one is to see the other (14.9); the Son and the Father are one (14.10).

John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me,
         the works that I do shall he do also;
        and greater works than these shall he do;
        because I GO unto MY FATHER.

John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
        neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all;
        and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

Jesus made it clear that Jesus represents GOD and they teach the same thing.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

NOT: I is my father IS one.

In simple reading, no one could conclude that Jesus is God and God is Jesus THEY are not 2 but 1

John 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
John 10:32 Jesus answered them,
        Many good works have I shewed you FROM MY FATHER; f
        or which of those works do ye stone me?
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not;
        but for BLASPHEMY; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified,
        and sent into the world,
        Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
John 10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
John 10:38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works:

The home the Son is going to prepare is the house of the Father (14.2). They dwell together (v.3).

Heb. 9:23  It was therefore necessary that
        the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these;
        but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Heb. 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands,
        which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself,
        now to appear in the presence of God for us:

THE HOUSE OF GOD

1Tim. 3:15 But if I tarry long,
        that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God,
        which is the CHURCH of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

Those who keep the commandments become home to the father and son (14.23).

14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father,
        and he shall give you another COMFORTER [2870 Parakletos, intercessor, comforter]
, that he may abide with you for ever;
John 14:17 Even the SPIRIT OF TRUTH
        whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not,
        neither knoweth him: but ye know him;
                 for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
John 14:19 Yet a little while,
        and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me:
        because I live, ye shall live also.
John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am IN my Father, and ye IN me, and I IN you.
John 14:21 He that hath my commandments,
        and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me:
        and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
        and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him,
        If a man love me, he will KEEP MY WORDS:
        and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him,
        and make our abode with him.
John 14:24 He that loveth me not KEEPETH NOT:  my sayings
        and the WORD which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
John 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
John 14:26 But the Comforter,
        which is the Holy Ghost,
        whom the Father will send IN MY NAME
        he shall teach you all things,
        and bring all things to your remembrance,
        whatsoever I have said unto you.

The coming of the Paraclete extends the promise of presence and life,
        even in the physical absence of Jesus,
        because Father, Son, and Spirit are always empowering presence (14.16-17).

1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
        And if any man sin, we have an ADVOCATE [2870 Parakletos, intercessor, comforter]
        with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: [IN MY NAME]
1John 2:2 And HE is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only,
        but also for the sins of the whole world

This text is not talking about who gets in or gets left out of Heaven when we die. It is about an invitation to intimate awareness and connection and relationship as revealed in and through Jesus AND the Paraclete.

1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him,
         if we keep HIS commandments.
1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him,
        and keepeth not his commandments,
        is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word,
        in him verily is the love of God perfected:
        hereby know we that we are in him.
1John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him        
        ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Promise of the Holy Spirit means that Jesus in his STATE of Holy Spirit is still the ONLY one who lets only His disciple read.

Yes, these words are spoken to the inner circle of disciples,
        but John obviously intends his overhearing audience to participate fully in these promises.

NOT UNLESS YOU ARE A 2,000 YEAR OLD JEW.

  he shall teach you all things,
        and bring all things to your REMEMBRANCE,
        whatsoever I have said unto you.

Peter and others left their PART of their eye-- and ear--witness for OUR memory.      

Yes, Luke is playing on the word saved in such a way that we should think beyond physical healingo just as he does with Jesus in the Gospel account. But we cannot miss the content of salvation in this particular context as primarily making a physically disabled human being whole.

To jump from that to the premise of full exclusion for all who do not
         participate in Christian INITIATION RITES is a significant leap!

It is consistent with "theology" that there is no problem blaspheming the SPIRIT OF of God in Isaiah 1 and the fact that Jesus was SANCTIFIED and sent after He was baptized.

Acts 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee,
        that thou shouldest know his will,
        and see that Just One,
        and shouldest hear the VOICE of his MOUTH.
Acts 22:15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou?
        arise, and be baptized,
        and wash away thy sins,
        calling on the name of the Lor

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Once we have at least attempted to live within the context of John 14.6 and/or Acts 4.12,
        there is still the "NOW WHAT?"

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the WAY, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

A DISCIPLE DOES NOT ASK OF THE SINGULAR METHOD OF CHRIST "SO WHAT"

What is it that followers of Christ should do, not do, or say?
        Here is where my own ability to step out of the enlightenment/post-enlightenment world
        that I am completely enmeshed in becomes both nearly impossible and absolutely essential.

JESUS REMOVED THE FUNDING AND RESPECTABILITY OF ANYONE WHO IS NOT A STUDENT-ONL

Matt. 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matt. 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:and ye shall find rest unto your souls
Luke 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my WORDS,
        of him shall the Son of man be ashamed,
        when he shall come in his own glory,
        and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other:
        for there is none other name under heaven given among men,
            whereby we must be saved.
Heb. 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Heb. 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Some of us lived through a time when salvation was defined by
        personal escape from hell and promised entrance into heaven
        either when we die or at least at the last judgment.

Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort,
        saying, Save yourselves from this untoward [crooked] generation.

Phil. 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke,
        in the midst of a CROOKED and PERVERSE nation,
        among whom ye shine as lights in the world

Rom. 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel.
        For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
2Th. 1:8 In FLAMING FIRE taking vengeance on them
        that know not God, and that obey
        not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1Pet. 4:17 For the time is come that judgment
        must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us,
        what shall the end be of them that OBEY NOT not the gospel of God?

But for many,
        the loss of hell as a major threat,
        combined with the loss of rabid sectarian exclusivism,
        seems like the death of evangelism.

Aristot. Pol. 7.1336a The legislators in the Laws forbid allowing children to have paroxysms of crying, but this prohibition is a mistake; violent crying contributes to growth, for it serves in a way as exercise for the body, since holding the breath is the strength giving factor in hard labor, and this takes place also with children when they stretch themselves in crying.

Rev. 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Rev. 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Rev. 15:7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
Rev. 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Rev. 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Witness the downright hostile reaction to Rob Bellís book, Love Wins. If love wins, and God is going to invite everyone and everything into whatever "heaven" is in the end, then the urgency of mission seems lost. It does, however, make for pleasant interfaith dialogue because we donít have to debate anyone anymore.

Somehow, I still believe more is at stake in John 14.6 than this.

John 14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
John 14:5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you,
        and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?
        he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
        and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

g3708. horao, hor-ah´-o; properly, to stare at (compare 3700), i.e. (by implication) to discern clearly (physically or mentally); by extension, to attend to; by Hebraism, to experience; passively, to appear: — behold, perceive, see, take heed.

2Cor. 4:4 In whom the god of this world
        hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
        lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
        who is the IMAGE of God, should shine unto them.

John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am IN the Father, and the Father IN me?
MEANING: the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself:
        but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

John 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

It has to do with moving beyond our Western, modern, enlightened or however we need to describe its relegation of religion to my mind.

In the case of this I AM statement
        my job as evangelist is to convince you
        to think rightly about these words (I am the way, the truth, the life;
        no one comes to the Father except through me)
        and agree mentally with the assertion that the
        brand of Christianity I'm ATTACKING to these words is accurate.

Gospel is cognitively announced and received.

Whatever it is that we are excluding others from when we quote these texts,

CHURCHES OF CHRIST EXCLUDES ANYONE: THEIR CIRCLE IS A LOCAL SCHOOL OF CHRIST.

INSTRUMENTAL CHURCHES EXCLUDE HALF OF THE POPULATION WHO ARE NOT IMPRESSED BY SINGING WITH OR WITHOUT MECHANICAL NOISES WHICH ARE ANXIETY-PRODUCING

MUCH OF THE WORLD WHO CAN READ SCRIPTURE AND COME OUT TO "LEARN OF ME" ARE EXCLUDED BY PEOPLE PERFORMING--NEVER WELL--TO SILENCE THE MOUTH OF THE VICTIM.

THE WAY IS HODOS OR THE PATTERN: IT IS SO NARROW THAT ALMOST NO ONE FINDS IT. IF YOU BLASPHEME BY DENYING THE PATTERN, PEOPLE ONLY EXCLUDE YOU FROM INFILTRATING AND DIVERTING THEIR CONGREGATION OR UNIVERSITY.

FAITH is a privatized collection of doctrines held in the mind, occasionally coming together with those others who have decided to choose the same collection as me, meeting together for worship that "fits" me once a week.

THAT IS THE COMMON PSYCHOLOGICAL VIOLENCE USED TO INTIMIDATE THOSE NOT SEDUCED.

But in the world and context of the Gospels, especially John's account, as Gail O'Day says,
        Jesus is both access and embodiment of life with God.3

THAT'S FALSE AND REPUDIATES CHRIST AND SCRIPTURE.  Being baptized INTO CHRIST is the way replace our UNholy spirit with A holy spirit or mind. That is required before Jesus accepts you into HIS School of Holy Scripture.

Acts 2:41NIV Those who accepted his message were baptized,
        and about three thousand were added to their numbera that day
Acts 2:47NIV praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.
         And the Lord added to their numberb daily those who were being saved.
Col. 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
         and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

1 Timothy 2 Paul wants EVERYONE to be quiet and peaceful

1Tim. 2:11 Let the woman LEARN in silence with all subjection.
1Tim. 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach,
        nor to usurp authority over the man,
        but to be in silence.

g2271.  hesuchia, hay-soo-khee´-ah; feminine of 2272; (as noun) stillness, i.e. desistance from bustle or language: — quietness, silence.

BECAUSE LEARNING IS A ONE-PIECE PATTERN PAUL ALREADY DISQUALIFIED BOTH MALE AND FEMALE

1Tim. 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks,
        be made for all men;
1Tim. 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority;
        that we may lead a quiet and PEACEABLE life in all godliness and honesty.

g2272.  hesuchios, hay-soo´-khee-os; a prolonged form of a compound probably of a derivative of the base of 1476 and perhaps 2192; properly, keeping one’s seat (sedentary), i.e. (by implication) still (undisturbed, undisturbing): — peaceable, quiet.

1Tim. 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Tim. 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved,  [Kept Safe]
        and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

JESUS IS THE HEAD (TEACHER) AT THE CORNER (isolated, private places). Therefore, neither male nor female exercises SELF-AUTHORITY speech would--as theologians affirm-that

1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE GOD,
        and one mediator [Paraclete, Comforter, mediator, intercessor, and ONLY connection to the Father]
        between God and men,
        the MAN Christ Jesus;
1Tim. 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all,
        to be TESTIFIED. in due time.

And Jesus invites the twos and threes OUTSIDE the city, at the CORNER, and BE silent and let Jesus speak through HIS words.  That TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF THE PROPHETS.

1Tim. 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

Belief in John's account is
        much more than mental assent to a set of doctrinal propositions.

This is not a doctrine to argue but an embodied relationship to be lived. I'm reminded of the words mythically attributed to Francis of Assisi:
        "Preach the gospel; when necessary use words."

ANY WORDS BY THEOLOGIANS CONTRADICT JESUS.

Col. 1:5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
1Th. 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in WORD only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
Heb. 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
1Pet. 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
        the flesh profiteth nothing:
        the WORDS that I speak unto you,
        they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE.

Mark 2:2 And straightway many were gathered together,
        insomuch that there was no room to receive them,
        no, not so much as about the door:
        and he preached the WORD unto them.
Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where,
        the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Acts 8:4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
Acts 8:25 And they,
        when they had testified and preached the WORD of the Lord,
        returned to Jerusalem, and preached the GOSPEL in many villages of the Samaritans.
Acts 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel,
        preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
Acts 10:37 That WORD, I say, ye know,
        which was published throughout all Judaea,
        and began from Galilee,
         after the baptism which John preached;
Acts 13:5 And when they were at Salamis,
         they Preached the WORD of God
        in the synagogues of the Jews:
        and they had also John to their minister.

g5257. huperetes, hoop-ay-ret´-ace; from 5259 and a derivative of eresso (to row); an under-oarsman, i.e. (generally) subordinate (assistant, sexton, constable): — minister, officer, servant

Acts 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue,
         the Gentiles besought that
        these WORDS might be PREACHED to them the next sabbath.
Acts 14:25 And when they had PREACHED the WORD in Perga, they went down into Attalia:

God is His WORD. Jesus Made God's WORD audible and the WITNESSES to the Last Will and Testament. Peter identified as FALSE TEACHERS anyone who blasphemed or Despised the Spirit of God Who supplied the WORDS.  God supplied NO LYRIC poetry and nothing to be Sung.

Wei've become accustomed in the last few years to
        the language of incarnational living,
        to having an incarnational view of Christian life and faith.
        But we must also have a more organic view of life itself.

INCARNATION IS BLASPHEMY.

Rom. 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Rom. 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his PROPHETS in the holy SCRIPTURE,)
Rom. 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
        which was made of the SEED of David according to the FLESH;
Rom. 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
        according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Rom. 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship,
        for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

Jesus was SANCTIFIED and SENT. He was then declared the SON of God and fulfilled the PRIESTLY prophecy.  When Jesus was made to be LORD AND CHRIST He was in the FORM of God. Forma has the same meaning as Jesus being the IMAGE of the Invisible God.  A Son FROM God who is baptized to become a DISCIPLE for learning during this earthly pilgrimage, does not allow personal opinions which are then SOLD.

I'm convinced that the Gospel is
        first and foremost the healing of relationships that the mystery of atonement
        is not articulated well with judicial metaphors in our time
        because law and justice have become impersonal,
        objectified realities unattached to relationships in our world.

The Atonement works for a singular person on a desert Island who hears the Gospel and obeys.  God is not HELPLESS in needing RELATIONSHIPS which is a way to REJECT the laws of Christ.

These atonement metaphors fit in the world of covenant relationships and sacrifices, an organic world in which all of life was connected. In an organic world
        blood is more than a term that drives a doctrine called substitutionary atonement. It is LIFE.

John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
        the flesh profiteth nothing:
        the WORDS that I SPEAK unto you,
        they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE.

Rom. 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Rom. 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die:
        yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
Rom. 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us,
         in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom. 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood,
        we SHALL BE saved from wrath through him.
Rom. 5:10 For if, when we were enemies,
        we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,
        much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Rom. 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
        by whom we have now received the atonement.

Rom. 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey,
        his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
        whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Rom. 6:17 But God be thanked,
        that ye were the servants of sin,
        but ye have obeyed from the heart
        that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Rom. 6:18 Being THEN made free from sin,
        ye became the servants of righteousness.

 

In that fully connected world,
        Jesus comes as the embodiment of the fully relational life.

He gives full humanity to the wholeness of relationship
        with other human being to people who have lost it or never had it in the first place.
        In overcoming death, he takes down
        the final barrier to relationships-not just among human beings or between human beings and deity,
        but all of creation.

Because Jesus has shown us God as Father, because he embodies life with God, we come to the table of human interaction as Paul suggests he himself was changed by his encounter with Christ while he used to see the world only with fleshly eyes, now in Christ YYverything is a new creation.

How we see other human beings can never again be exclusive.
        This is not a new level on the hierarchy that leaves us
        above other human beings until they see it our way:

it is organic, incarnational living that does for others what Jesus did.

John York: That means that texts like John 14.6 are NOT articulated as proof texts of superiority.

THEOLOGIANS WHO "IMAGINE" ALWAYS CALL GOD ALMIGHTY AND HIS EMPOWERED SON A LIAR.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Eph. 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Col. 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

They must be invitationally lived. It is that lived invitation, the embodiment of way, truth, and life that we bring to the world, especially in our conception of evangelism and church. Rather than a text that defends and even sanctifies sectarianism, we are invited with Jesus to become living testimony to Godís gracious gift of access, to what in the end (even infate-driven movies like Seeking a Friend for the End of the World) is all that really matters: relationships. Rather than being a proof text that stops interfaith dialogue or intra-faith conversation before it starts, Jesus invites us into the shared life of all creation with himóan inclusive invitation that opens us to embodied life in the Spirit. That, my friends, is good news!
