ArchivedWho was the Rock?Dear Aineo, I was only attempting to respond to remarks made by RomeSweetRome. I have no intention of bringing up further discussions about the Godhead. I think all that could and can be said on that topic has been done and I rested my case some time ago. However, I have as much right to express my opinion as a member on this forum as you and others do. I was not looking for a confrontation with anyone. I expressed my support for Tuppence as we share the same view on this topic as do you. And like you, I'm tired too...tired of being labelled a cult member when all I've ever done on this forum is exalt Jesus Christ. Cults degrade and deny Jesus as to His true identity. This is the very issue Jesus focused on when He asked Peter, "But who do you say that I am?" Jesus is asking this same question to each of us. He wants us all to know who He really is. This is essential to having the level of intimate relationship the Lord desires with His people. The "Rock" upon which the Church is built is Jesus Christ, a fact accepted by Protestants. But there's a much deeper issue here than an intellectual fact. Any unbeliever can discern that much. But the real issue at stake is "identity" and that's what flesh and blood cannot discern but comes only by revelation by God Himself. Peter had a revelation from God about who Jesus really is. That is why Jesus entrusted Peter with the keys to the Kingdom. And Peter revealed what those keys were under Divine revelation in his first sermon and in no uncertain terms in Acts 2:38. Without having a revelation of who the Rock is in terms of true and full identity is superficial intellectual knowledge and hardly a sound foundation to build faith upon. |
