According to Romans 7, is Paul describing a pre-conversion experience
or a post-conversion experience? Why aren’t we perfect after being
justified and reckoning ourselves dead? Is there even a problem that we
should be aware of? What is a believers current relation to sin?
Is a dichotomous lifestyle applauded by Paul in Romans 7 (as in
Christian in the inside, but continually sinful in the flesh? What does
the flow of thought tell us?
Update: We worked out the study over in this section here and Romans 8.

It’s pretty funny how easily heresy creeps in. Sure it might
take a while to come up with especially if it’s going to be really convincing.
You know, the mulling it over, making the new concept taste right, justifying
it in Scripture and convincing yourself. Yet, when it makes its first
appearance it does so in such a manner that the non-Berean ear may sit there
unaware, smiling and maybe even “Amen”ing. To see it happen before your eyes is
outright scary.

“Are you the King of the Jews?” asked Pilate (John 18:33). He was in the Praetorium and full of his own
authority while this bloodied Jew unsteadily stood there. Jesus asked if this
was an original idea or if he heard others talking about Him (John 18:34). Now Pilate dares Jesus to take a stand
against or with His people: “Your own nation and the chief priests gave you
up…what have you done?”
Why was the King of the Jews standing there, bloodied and defenseless? And
how would He answer? Would He shower theological fire to prove the man’s
futility? Would He summon a legion of fighting angels? And if we are His
servants, what does this tell us about the way we are to defend Christ in this
world?

Clinging to the Cross of Christ |

Fine, a lot of Christians don’t believe Christ died on Friday. Even more Christians think that there shouldn’t be a special day marked out for remembering the Lord—everyday should be saturated with thanks giving and praise for what He has done. I applaud those who point out the pagan practices inherit in Easter versus the truth of the Lord’s crucifixion. It still saddens me that I’ve looked across several God-bloggers and have seen more focus on Terry Schiavo than Christ and what He did.
Don’t get me wrong—pointing out the World’s hypocrisy in this case is well and good…but this is a time of year where Christians should be waving the banner of the Crucified and now risen Christ. Here then are several links which point to Christ for introspection, reflection and encouragement.

On a hill outside of Jerusalem they crucified Him. Not satisfied with His death, some one even complain about the words on Jesus’ cross “This is Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews”. Others would stand by sneering that “He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, His Chosen One.” (Luke 23:35). The soldiers would mock Him. Even the criminals on the crosses next to Him would taunt Him. But the Lord didn’t respond to the taunts of men.

I don't know who launched the attack, but it doesn't look like the Archive will stand a chance against the invading Martian forces! You can also check out the dinosaur and the nukes. So cool.
