    Resumo: A palestra de Dr. Rhys Bezzant explora a profundidade e o significado da Ceia do Senhor (Santa Ceia) na vida dos discípulos cristãos, especialmente dentro da tradição anglicana. Ele começa destacando um momento pessoal em que a resposta litúrgica "E também com você" demonstrou a formação litúrgica profunda entre os anglicanos. Dr. Bezzant argumenta que a Ceia do Senhor é um elemento essencial para qualquer agenda de discipulado na igreja. Ele observa que muitas igrejas perderam o entusiasmo pela Ceia, tratando-a como uma formalidade ou algo que pode ser embaraçoso diante de não-cristãos. Ele enfatiza que a Ceia do Senhor é um dom maravilhoso de Deus para ensinar e treinar os fiéis em seu discipulado diário. Ele critica a visão de que a Ceia é apenas um lembrete cerebral do sacrifício de Cristo, argumentando que é uma experiência presente da presença de Deus. Ele menciona que, historicamente, a Reforma Protestante e o Avivamento Evangélico do século XVIII reforçaram a crença na presença próxima e pessoal de Deus na Ceia. Dr. Bezzant também discute a importância de entender a Ceia do Senhor como parte de uma narrativa bíblica maior, que conecta os participantes à história redentora de Deus. Ele sugere que a Ceia deve ser vista como um momento culminante tanto na história bíblica quanto na vida espiritual dos participantes. Além disso, ele aborda a importância do uso dos corpos na celebração da Ceia, destacando como a participação física pode treinar os fiéis em sua vida de discipulado. Ele menciona que a Ceia é uma oportunidade para rededicar nossos corpos ao serviço de Deus e para experimentar a comunhão com Cristo e com a comunidade de fé. Dr. Bezzant conclui que a Ceia do Senhor é uma prática essencial para a formação de discípulos, oferecendo uma experiência tangível da graça de Deus e fortalecendo a identidade e a missão dos cristãos. Ele encoraja as igrejas a redescobrirem a profundidade e a riqueza dessa prática litúrgica para fortalecer a vida espiritual e o discipulado de seus membros. Pontos Principais: Importância da Ceia do Senhor: A Ceia é fundamental para a formação de discípulos e deve ser tratada com entusiasmo e reverência. Presença de Deus: A Ceia é uma experiência presente da presença de Deus, não apenas um lembrete do passado. Narrativa Bíblica: A Ceia conecta os participantes à história redentora de Deus, reforçando sua identidade cristã. Uso dos Corpos: A participação física na Ceia treina os fiéis em sua vida de discipulado. Rededicação: A Ceia é uma oportunidade para rededicar nossos corpos e vidas ao serviço de Deus. Dr. Bezzant conclui que a Ceia do Senhor é uma prática rica e multifacetada que deve ser central na vida da igreja e na formação de discípulos. - GPT-4o Copiar

    I have always found it interesting how the article is not used at the start. However we understand the time period of ἀρχηῇ, we know the word was there. I love the chaiasm in this text. It is interesting that the imperfectivity of ἦν is pointed out here. The fact that there is no pure aorist of ἧν makes me wonder if we should take care to read too much into verbal aspect here. Although ultimately, perhaps the reason there is no aorist of ἦν is because the perfective form is filled with the perfect tense-form.

    The beginning: In the Scriptures, the meaning of the term “beginning” depends on the context. Here the Greek word ar·kheʹ cannot refer to “the beginning” of God the Creator, for he is eternal, having no beginning. (Ps 90:2) It must, therefore, refer to the time when God began creating. God’s first creation was termed the Word, a heavenly designation of the one who became Jesus. (Joh 1:14-17) So Jesus is the only one who can rightly be called “the firstborn of all creation.” (Col 1:15) He was “the beginning of the creation by God”(Re 3:14), so he existed before other spirit creatures and the physical universe were created. In fact, by means of Jesus, “all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth.”​-Col 1:16;

    True and simple to those who want to see. The term BEGINNING cannot refer to God. Time only begins after God has created someone or something. Any FIRSTBORN would be WITH his father before the others come along. Jesus was WITH God when time began. 'In the BEGINNING the Word was' 'and the Word was WITH God' - John 1:1

    He actually grouped θεον and θεός to mean thing? Θεόν and θεός do not mean the same thing. Θεος is a general description. It can be used for and angel or even a human like a King. In 2 Corinthians 4:4 it’s used to describe Satan. So Satan is actually called A god that is a θεός. In John 1:1 the word θεον (Theon) is talking about “The God” that is Jehovah. The word θεός (theos) which would mean “a god” is talking about Jesus. Besides HOW can a person be WITH a someone and be that same person??? That math makes NO sense whatsoever. So translating θεός to be “a god” is a very accurate translation.

    @@user-pj7sq7ce1f Correction. Θεός, Θεον, θεό and θεού are all related. I do know in John 1:1 Θεό is the modern Greek and Θεόν is 1’s century. Θεον is talking about Jehovah and θεός is talking about Jesus. So that is talking about 2 people. Remember 2 Corinthians 4:4 uses the phrase “ό θεός” now is that talking about Jesus? Jehovah? Absolutely not!!! That is Satan! So in English Satan is clearly “A god”. And Acts 28:6 the Ancient Greek called the apostle Paul Θεον the modern Greek uses θεός. The KJV says “A god.” But I guess as long as it doesn’t fit the trinity teaching it has to mean nothing.

    Church of England in UK is very institutionalised so it has a close link with Parliament. This causes obstacles re same sex marriage and ordering the church round. There is more formalism in these churches as Church of England just performs rites re births, deaths and marriages and not much evangelism so can be very dead spiritually.

    12:30 Calvinism is a helpful system??? Absolutely terrible. It fits the narrative of scripture best??? What scripture are you reading? It’s not the Christian Bible. Calvinism is complete trash. It does not fit the narrative of scripture. It alleges some terrible things about God and is entirely unbiblical. In fact, it’s “doctrine of election” is the very same theological error that Jesus and the apostles were dispelling, not creating. It was already present in the Jewish religion and it’s what le d to the crucifixion of Christ. It was around for thousands of years, then Christ dispelled it and it was gone for a few hundred years. Then Augustine resurrected it like an idiot and it’s been back for almost another couple thousand years.

    9:20 “How would you explain the formula [that the atonement is sufficient for all but efficient for only some.]” Again, this is nonsense and there is a clear answer. The atonement is 100% sufficient and efficient.

Hear o Israel, the Lord thy God is one. (DEUTERONOMY 6:4) We got that! We believe that the Father is referred to as God, throughout scripture. (1CORINTHIANS 8:6) We got that too! We believe that Jesus is referred to as God in many Bible verses, but yet we still believe that there is only one God! How can that be? We also believe that the Holy Spirit is also referred to as God. So now, there are three persons in the Bible that are referred to as God, but yet THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD! Now here is where the doctrine of the Holy Trinity comes in. We believe that the one God (singular) is defined in three separate persons. Not three separate Gods like everybody who isn’t a knowledgeable Trinitarian tries to define it as. So, that one God, or Godhead, consists of three separate persons. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, And they’re all called God. I’ve heard non Trinitarians say something like 1+1+1=3 doesn’t it? Nope, that’s not it!

    An example of the Greek (2316) θεὸς “God” in the predicate nomitive case, and without the article, as being capitalized. This is the Unitarians and JWs excuse for translating JN 1:1C as “The Logos was a god.” Mark 12:27 refutes that. ASV “He is not [the] God of the dead, but of the living: ye do greatly err.” Interlinear: “not He is God of [the] dead but” The article “the” is not there preceding the noun θεὸς in the Greek text. And yet the context demands the capitalization of “God.” And so it does in JN 1:1C Using this example, Jn 1:1C could just as legally, by biblical Greek example, be translated: “The Logos was the God.” and be just as correct. Thank you for an excellent lesson in Greek!
