Intro
1832- Great Britain passed the Anatomy Act, which legalized a much broader use of Cadaver idssection.
Prior to that, only medical college of London and only executed.
So black market.
1820’s- William Burke and Willam Hare made practice....
So successful, KNox medical clinic at least 16… Eventually called “Burking.”
Ironically, Hare turned on Burke, and helped convict him—sentenced to death and dissection.
That shifted for most of western Christian world, although some places still illegal in America into 20th C.
Why matters?
Well, if I have certain symptoms taht suggest appendicitis, doctor can remove mine with little effort because it’s just like every other one he or she has seen.
When I talk with couple preparing for marriage, easy to encourage certain things and predict certain things because been there so many times.
*** Exposure offers clarity—either by more thorough exposure or more repeated exposure.
Remember beginning of Acts--”continued to do”—this continuing story forms the basis not only of the history of our fath, but also lays the groundwork for understainding how it all works.
Acts is a story of events in the life of the early church—about 40% various people, and about 60% Paul.
Which may roughly be about the ration of the NEW Testament books—at least past the gospels.
That’s worth knowing because it’s the events in Acts and the ones like them that offer the material of the Epistles.
Acts stories provide the basis of the Epistles teaching.
More simply, the events we see produce the doctrines we teach.
see what happened in Corinth, understand 1&2 Corinthians and vice versa
…Thessalonians...
Ephesus...
*** Especially true about Ephesus—Ephesians, 1 & 2 Timothy, Corinthians written there: and a great deal of Acts covers high-exposure events there—lots of material to work with
8** And in this, see many issues Paul struggled to work with people about:
fights and division,
Immaturity and growth
Spirituality and the supernatural
*** the greater teh exposure, by the Holy Spirit’s inspiration, the greater the clarity--”what happens when faith meets life in this kind of moment?
Begin to see patterns
Cf types of clouds—lots of variety, but really only a limited number of types
Cf personality—MBTI—16, DISC, 4 main ones, etc
medicine, psychology
Cf
Things going wrong with people (flesh functions)—not comprehensive, but see few main ones repeat:
Things going wrong with people (flesh functions)—not comprehensive, but see few main ones repeat:
“passions of flesh” became “trespasses and sins”
*** Acts in Eph and throughout, see patterns:
sensuality (lust, drunkennes—note that Paul wrote to Corinthians while in Eph)
sentimentality (religious tradition) (Halloween, etc)
sensationalism (sorcery, etc—then magicians, then warning to Tim and in Acts)
self-preservation (silver smiths, slave girl owner) (Herod)
sincere error / misunderstanding / ignorance (darkened understanding)
But in these events, Paul had to consider—what happens when the grace of God meets the passions of the flesh
The genius of Paul is not just knowing what to say about them, but seeing that there were layers or realms of activity--
teh flech in me
the effects of the world on the flesh in me
teh effects of the devil on the world (or on the sons that influenced the world)
*** NOte even teh concerns in Eph—the cash and the sentiments
** But genius goes farther--
Battle is not between him and the people, but the Truth and the Liar
SO-
see what Paul sees w/ greater clarity via NT--
“what happens when faith meets life in this kind of moment
See this moment in history of faith (what is happening here acc to revelation)
Find what faith does in this moment (what is faith’s response acc to revelation)
Find this moment in history of Faith
