  • Mystery of Creation in Rabbinic Literature
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 21/1-2 (2010):3-13. Article copyright © 2010 by Alexander Bolotnikov. By Faith or by Knowledge: Mystery of Creation in Rabbinic Literature Alexander Bolotnikov Director, Shalom Learning Center Cincinnati, Ohio During the last half of the 20th century many scholars have recognized the differences between Hebrew and Greek thinking.1 The problem of the origin of this world serves as the best example that illustrates the clash between the Hellenistic and Jewish mentalities. Greek natural philosophers were the first physicists that attempted to resolve the problem of the origins of the universe. They attempted to search for the beginning of every matter and substance. Using their sophisticated creative thinking Greeks produced multiple hypotheses trying to describe and explain the origins of the visible world.2 For example Thales (ca. 624-547 BC) believed that the beginning of everything was water. He taught that all things arose from water and will turn into water. A century later Heraclitus (ca. 530-470 BC) taught that the fire represents a primeval substance, from which all other things arise through thickening and dilution of the fire.3 The fundamental advancement in the Greeks’ worldview arose with the introduction of the concept of ‘matter.’ The founding fathers of the Ancient Greek atomistic 1 For a detailed discussion see Thorief Boman, Hebrew Thought Compared with Greek (New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 1960). 2 Ferdinand Rosenberger, Geschuchte der Physik in Grundzugen (Braunschweig: Vieweg und Sohn, 1882), 3. 3 For a detailed historical account of the development of the physical sciences see Mario Gliozzi, Storia della Fisica, in Storia delle Scienze, v.

  • Half the Story
    HALF THE STORY WHY COVENANT SONSHIP RESTS ON ONTOLOGICAL SONSHIP A Pre-publication Review of Ty Gibson’s ‘The Sonship of Christ’ through a series of emails and a prequel to ‘Trialogue’ By Brendan Valiant Introduction This document is not intended for widespread circulation. I am making it available only on request as people have learned about it through the Trialogue video. However, in case this does get shared, some context is appropriate to fully appreciate this document. This document contains a series of emails with Ty Gibson prior to the publication of his book “The Sonship of Christ: Exploring the Covenant Identity of God and Man”. The introduction was made by our mutual friend and colleague in Christ, David Asscherick in 2018. Ty had before that time only presented his manuscript to favourable reviewers, those who already agreed with him on the subject matter. It was an opportunity for him to have a truly objective appraisal of the content and he welcomed it. Through this process, a respect and friendship between Ty and myself was forged. Word about this review process got out to the editors of Adventist Review TV (ARTV) who asked if they could make a documentary of our discussions as part of their “Deeper” series. This culminated in mid- 2018 and was titled “Trialogue” and can be found at the link below: https://www.artvnow.com/digging-deeper/season:1/videos/trialogue-v4 The content in this review only constitutes one side of an interaction. It can only be complete when reading Ty Gibson’s book.

  • Families First Vantage Point
    June 2009 SOUTHERN Families First Vantage Point Our Neighborhood Bible Study “Visit your neighbors and show an interest in the salvation of their souls .... Tell those whom you visit that the end of all things is at hand. The Lord Jesus Christ will open the door of their hearts and will make upon their minds lasting impressions .... Tell them how you found Jesus and how blessed you have been since you gained an experience in His service .... Tell them of the gladness and joy that there is in the Christian life” Testi- monies for the Church, Vol. 9, p. 38. Friday evening, March 27, 2009, Cheryl and I walked up our driveway to begin visiting everyone in our neighborhood. We’ve been praying for our neighbors, we’ve walked and jogged in our neighborhood, we’ve become acquainted with some of our neighbors, we’ve waved at our neighbors, but I must admit we had not yet visited all our neighbors. We knocked on every door — about 70 homes. Most people were home, and all were cordial as we introduced ourselves as neighbors up the street. We gave each one a special invitation inviting them to a neighborhood Bible study in our home to begin April 17. Once we got started we gained courage, and we knew the outcome was entirely up to God. We prayed every day that God would impress some of our neighbors to come. On Friday evening, April 17, the house was ready, the Bible study lesson was ready, and we were ready to open our home to our neighbors.
