Scot,
“The issue of whether or not to circumcise Gentile believers led to the first church council.” Does this issue imply that the council believed that Jewish believers should continue to be circumcised?

Glenn,
Probably so … it was assumed they would continue circumcision.

Scot,
Does this gathering together to discern the mind of God relate to what Jesus said about binding and loosing and the keys to the kingdom and all that? How much authority do we (the church) have to modify or re-interpret Scripture or Christian practice? Obviously the more inerrantist conservatives are going to say “None”. Others may say we have total authority to disregard teachings we dislike (no one would say it like that, of course).

Travis,
Well, that’s a tough one because of the history of interpretation of Matt 16. Yes, is the big answer … but I would not think it would have to lead to the magisterium. We don’t “modify” Scripture so much as “discern how to live it out” — the latter is faithful to the text and the former would justify disregarding Scripture.

Sott,
Your last paragraph sounds almost “non-trinitarian”. Could you unpack it just a bit? And how is the Incarnation different than the “pre-incarnate” appearance of Jesus? Or is it? Do we need to go with “the Angel of the Lord” actually being an angel in order not to compromise the uniqueness of the Incarcation? I know this is not really on the subject of your post, but I’ve been chewing on these ideas, and your statement triggered my questions.

John,
It is a commonplace to see certain NT texts using, from the OT, “Lord” for Jesus when in the OT that same text referred to YHWH. How that is non-Trinitarian is beyond me brother.

Scot,
I’m sorry on two counts: I mis-spelled your name, and I should have read more carefully before I posted. I apologize for the term “non-trinitarian”. That was unfair to say, and as I re-read your original post I understand why you would be incredulou at my comment. Please forgive me. My question still stands, though about the “Angel of the Lord”, “The captain of the Lord’s Hosts” ect., in relationship to the incarnation.
