CHALCEDON, COME AGAIN?
Matthew [MKJV]
11:15-16a [Jesus declared] He who has ears to hear, let him hear. But to what
shall I compare this generation? …
John 8:58 Jesus
said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I AM!
[Ex.3:14; Is.4:6; Jn.1:1; Rev.1:8, 11; 21:6; 22:13]
Who gives a hoot
about a bunch of old guys that got together to argue theology in AD 451, right?
Knowing and
comprehending important historical turning points matters. The knowledge
contributes to knowing how we arrived at this point plus understanding who and
why we are. Where did I get such a belief? Before I trusted Christ, in High
School from Mr. Vince Hanley’s world history classes. After trusting Christ,
from Him.
Jesus spoke of
history often, doing so to help people understand present day circumstances and
needs. Take your Bible and read only the words Jesus spoke, or easier yet . . .
acquire an inexpensive copy of “Jesus Said …”(ISBN 1-56563-174-9) and
thoughtfully read thru it. Take note of how many times he connected history
with current events and needs. This past-to-present viability being a proof of the
veracity of God’s Word. Jesus was not some theologian. Jesus was/is Theo!

PS. History is never really past. It is layered in the
present.
