---“The church, its identity, message, and
mission, is not an evolutionary cultural idea. The church is the result of
God’s plan, of God’s work in the world to save sinners and humanity.” Says the
Philippine professor. ---Both professors (one from Walla, Walla
and one from Philippine) then discussed Paul praying for them. ---Walla Walla professor emphasizes the
value of the Holy Spirit in their lives. ---It means praying with thanksgiving and
praying unceasingly. ---Unceasingly praying says Walla Walla.
He says they are to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:17)? ---Not always kneeling before God in
prayer. ---The Holy Spirit helps us to look for
cues of God in our life. ---It means with Holy Spirit help we
process issues in our lives. ---If there are twist and turns, Walla
Walla said, we ask the Holy Spirit what next? ---The Philippine professor emphasizes
that when we pray to the Holy Spirit it is about God working in us not human
philosophy (page 41). ---He is using the Bible to outline the
kind of wisdom one can expect from God. ---Paul in 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 that it is
not Nero’s wisdom that will help us. It is the mystery of God revealed by the
Holy Spirit. ---It is what God did and is doing for us
in heaven and the broad outline of his prophetic charts of history and us in it
that provides us with the hope for living. ---Paul is praying for all of this. ---Christianity is not found on the logic,
reason or presuppositions of Western Logic of Philosophy but on the logic,
reason and Revelation of God in the Bible. Nice right? ---“a successful philosophy will construct
its worldview and presuppositions in reference to divine revelation” says the
Philippine professor. Very nice. Does it include Woman Ordination of Elders?
No, says Paul, because women cannot be husbands (see 1 Timothy 2). Revelation
versus Culture here. Right? ---The worldview is everyone is different
and because of relativity what is right for you is not right for me. Your God
is your God and my god is my god attitude. Right? Wrong. ---Christ said: “God and sin no more” in
John 8. He did not say to the woman, go and just live, I will be your heavenly
advocate to cover you. He expected 100% obedience. Didn’t He? ---Many Korean Adventists like to visit Europe. Currently there is chaos on three scenes in Europe: Judiasm, Christianity and Islam. ---The problem of Europe was indicated by philosophersVoegelin and Schelling as Europe’s pneumapathology or spiritual disease.

and preach righteousness and truth. Three things. Is it doing it in your life?
