1601 | "That's just your interpretation."(?) | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 117015 | ||
kalos, Good Article! I've read it prior to your post- in fact used it as a handout in our class this past summer on- Biblical Interpretation. I would echo Dr. Wallace's point in regard to laziness. Many simply don't do due diligence in their study of scripture. Many further are ignorant of the basic principles(or that they even exist) and do not avail themselves of resources by great men whom God inspired likewise. We can learn much by standing on the shoulders of giants. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1602 | Have you spoke in tongues? | 1 Corinthians | BradK | 116979 | ||
rrherzog, What about 1 Cor. 12:29-30? Do ALL speak with tongues? No. Also, 1 Cor. 14:18 without the entire context, specifically verse 1, can mean only what you say it does. Is Paul really giving a plea, or command that we ALL should do likewise? Context is extremely important in interpreting scripture! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

TMurr, In all honesty, if you don't know I'd put no faith in any "tongue" you spoke. God's Word is very clear and needs no outside interpretation:-) Remember, God is not the author of confusion ( 1 Cor.14:33). God Bless, BradK |

TMurr, What is the interpretation of "atravion saviyor?" It is not a biblical term or phrase that I'm aware of! BradK |

ptgard05, Yes, it was a stretch- it's called HYPERBOLE! I used it on purpose to make my point:-) They performed medical tests on him and determined that he was homosexual from birth? That seems like a stretch to me. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

ptgard05, Let's stop playing games and put your cards on the table! This is a Study Bible Forum with posted guidelines. You say "The verse that you submitted can't be taken word for word." That's YOUR opinion and nothing else! It is clear that you DO NOT believe that the Bible is the inerrant and infallible Word of God! You are the one to prove what you're saying. You say that "The word "homosexual" wasn't even made up untill the early 1800's when it became an issue". Prove it! You say "You have to go back to the original texts to see that this verse does not actually say anything about homosexuality." Prove it! My friend, conjecture will get you nowhere. You have- as many others before you- failed to provide one single shred of evidence or support to back anything you say. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1608 | i do believe..but this troubles me | Rom 1:27 | BradK | 116552 | ||
ptgard05, How do you know that your relative "that is gay that he was born homosexual?" That's very subjective, my friend. It is more of an excuse than it is a valid reason. I had a friend too, (from our church) that was gay. Though he has changed and is now married in a heterosexual relationship (Praise God) I never bought into the idea that he was "born homosexual". Without trying to be snide, Are some then born "pedophiles", "murderers", "rapists", "arsonists", etc. Man can ALWAYS excuse away his behavior! God calls it sin. What we have to address and come to an understanding on is this: Do we believe God or man? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1609 | i need Biblical info on homosexuality | Rom 1:27 | BradK | 116462 | ||
ptgard05, Before I answer your question, may I ask you a couple? You seem predisposed against the Bible and it's authority. Do you believe that the Bible is the inerrant, infallible Word of God? Many come, already schooled in our cultures' "politically Correct" dogma that places Man and his desires before God. Are you truly seeking enlightenment and wanting to learn? I'd be happy to dialog with you if we can establish what it is you're seeking. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1610 | How can moses say about his burrial? | OT general | BradK | 116012 | ||
ischus, Let me say this: It's strictly YOUR choice to persue this topic or not! I'm not in agreement with you on debating the Mosaic authorship of Deuteronomy- or for that matter any other Canonical Books. As to the reference to religioustoerance.org. Don't waste my time, please! This is very liberal site that disputes essentially ALL of the Cardinal Doctrines of the Christian faith, Biblical Authority, the Diety of Christ, etc. This will be my final question and response to you, ischus: why would someone who claims to be "evangelical" and "conservative" hold to such views? Answer if you wish, but I have better persuits of my time:-) God Bless, and best wishes, BradK |
||||||
1611 | How can moses say about his burrial? | OT general | BradK | 116006 | ||
ischus, Well, no I didn't know what you already believed about the bible, that it is God's Word. But, you've clarified that point, and on that we can agree. Your "why" questions have been answered as far as I'm concerned. You still have not provided any conclusive Biblical evidence or support of scholars who would say otherwise. I'm only asking- reasonably- that if you truly believe what you're stating, then back it up with something other than your opinion:-) Is that fair? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

ischus, I'll leave my response to these 2 points: 1. I never said anything about Welhaussen's Views, etc. ( I don't even know who he is); 2. So YOU say! What internal and external evidence has been ignored? Would you care to provide us with some? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1613 | who benefits most from prayer? | Bible general Archive 2 | BradK | 115984 | ||
Brenda, I'd respectfully decline to read any of these authors.( I'm well aware of who they are and I've seen them on TBN) None of them are considered as scholars by any stretch of the imagination, and I consider them heretical at worst, aberational at best in their teachings. I'm not surprised that you've arrived at the conclusions you have based on the WOF input you've been blessed with:-) Blessings to you too, my sister, BradK |

1614 | How can moses say about his burrial? | OT general | BradK | 115973 | ||
ischus, While I realise that the Mosaic authorship of Deuteronomy has been attacked by critics, there is solid evidence, both Externally and Internally that he alone is the author. Externally,The OT attributes Deuteronomy and the rest of the Pentateuch to Moses (Josh. 1:7, Judg. 3:4, 1 Kin. 2:3, 2 Kin. 14:6, Ezra 3:2, Neh. 1:7, Ps. 103:7, Dan. 9:11. Mal. 4:4). Internally, Deuteronomy includes about 40 claims that Moses wrote it. Read Deut. 31:24-26. And, Deuteronomy fits the time of Moses, not Josiah. It is generally agreed that Moses obituary in Chap. 34 was probably written by Joshua. The last 3 verses of the Pentateuch (34:10-12) can be properly viewed as an appropriate epitaph for this great man. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1615 | who benefits most from prayer? | Bible general Archive 2 | BradK | 115972 | ||
Hi Brenda, I understand the verse, but 1 Peter 2:24 is a direct quotation of Is. 53:5 and so the interpretation does not change:-) Though we may have to differ on this, the question is: does "by His stripes you were healed", refer to physical or spritual healing? Again, I take the historical and orthodox view that this refers to "spritual healing." I respectfully disagree that a direct connection exists because of this "healing" that "the provision has thus been made for us to walk in divine health." I believe this is going beyond what is written- it's taking the verse too far. OK?, I hope that clarifies my position. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Brenda, Thanks for your reply. I agree with the majority of what you said, but I would take issue with and seek further clarification when you state, "However as our faith progresses, we can get to the stage where we are walking in divine health." I don't see scripture as saying this anywhere, unless you're refering to our state in 1 John 3:2. We have to be careful not to say something that scripture doesn't say:-) Also, Jesus didn't die primarily for our physical healing, but for our spiritual healing. The reference in Isaiah 53 refers to "spiritual healing" and has been understood as such historically! In other words, His death atoned for our sin, not our physical infirmities. We who are dead in trespasses and sin according to Eph. 2:1, need life, not just a cure for our sickness. That life is only found in the Person of our Lord, Jesus Christ ( Rom. 5:10).

1619 | who benefits most from prayer? | Bible general Archive 2 | BradK | 115866 | ||
Brenda, I quite agree with EdB on this. Though the Lord God is the great I AM, He is more than JUST that! If God always heals, and He made this provision for us, what of the disciples! Christ as our example suffered and was obedient to the cross death. ALL of the disciples (save John) met with untimely and cruel deaths. Did they not have faith, or our we missing something? Lastly, without and trials or challenges in our life, how are we to encourage others? This does not jive with reality. Scripture explicitly tells us in Romans 5:3-4 that "..not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverence, character, and character, hope." If we've never experienced any hardship, i.e. marital difficulties, financial challenges, physical infirmities, etc., pray tell, how can we possibly minister to, and encourage others? (2 Cor. 1:4,5) We can't, and as a leader we wouldn't have many followers either. Life isn't about avoiding challenges, but rather, how do we walk in faith despite them.

Aniset, "What the Bible Says About Hell Key Facts About Eternity (1) Everyone will exist eternally either in heaven or hell (Daniel 12:2,3; Matthew 25:46; John 5:28; Revelation 20:4,5). (2) Everyone has only one life in which to determine their destiny (Hebrews 9:27). (3) Heaven or hell is determined by whether a person believes (puts their trust) in Christ alone to save them (John 3:16, 36, etc.). Key Passages About Hell (1) Hell was designed originally for Satan and his demons (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10). (2) Hell will also punish the sin of those who reject Christ (Matthew 13:41,49; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:8). (3) Hell is conscious torment. Matthew 13:49 “furnace of fire…weeping and gnashing of teeth” Mark 9:48 “where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched” Revelation 14:10 “he will be tormented with fire and brimstone” (4) Hell is eternal and irreversible. Revelation 14:11 “the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever and they have no rest day and night” Revelation 20:14 “This is the second death, the lake of fire” Revelation 20:15 “If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire” Erroneous Views of Hell (1) The second chance view – After death there is still a way to escape hell. Answer: “It is appointed unto men once to die and after that the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). (2) Universalism – All are eternally saved. Answer: It denies the truth of salvation through Christ which means that a person decides to either trust in Christ or else he/she rejects Christ and goes to hell (John 3:16;3:36). (3) Annihilationism – Hell means a person dies like an animal – ceases to exist. Answer: It denies the resurrection of the unsaved (John 5:28, etc. – see above). It denies conscious torment (see above). Objections to the Biblical View of Hell (1) A loving God would not send people to a horrible hell. Response: God is just (Romans 2:11). God has provided the way of salvation to all (John 3:16,17; 2 Corinthians 5:14,15; 1 Timothy 2:6; 4:10; Titus 2:11; 2 Peter 3:9). Even those who haven’t heard of Christ are accountable for God’s revelation in nature (Romans 1:20). God will seek those who seek Him (Matthew 7:7; Luke 19:10). Therefore God doesn’t send people to hell, they choose it (Romans 1:18,21,25). (2) Hell is too severe a punishment for man’s sin. Response: God is holy-perfect (1 Peter 1:14,15). Sin is willful opposition to God our creator (Romans 1:18-32). Our sin does merit hell (Romans 1:32; 2:2,5,6). What is unfair and amazing is that Christ died for our sin and freely offers salvation to all (Romans 2:4; 3:22-24; 4:7,8; 5:8,9). Biblical Terms Describing Where the Dead Are Sheol - a Hebrew term simply describing “the grave” or “death” – Does not refer to “hell” specifically Hades - A Greek term that usually refers to hell – a place of torment (Luke 10:15; 16:23, etc.) Gehenna - A Greek term (borrowed from a literal burning dump near Jerusalem) that always refers to hell – a place of torment (Matthew 5:33; 23:33) “Lake of fire”- the final abode of unbelievers after they are resurrected (Revelation 20:14,15) “Abraham’s bosom” - (Luke 16:22) a place of eternal comfort “Paradise” - (Luke 23:43) a place of eternal comfort “With the Lord” - a key phrase describes where church age believers are after death (Philippians 1:23; 1 Thessalonians 4:17; 2 Corinthians 5:8) “New heavens and earth” – where believers will be after they are resurrected (Revelation 20:4-6; 21:1-4) Conclusion: Our curiosity about the abode of the dead is not completely satisfied by biblical terms or verses. What we do know is that either eternal torment in hell or eternal joy in heaven awaits all people after death, based on whether they trust in Christ’s payment for sin or reject Christ."
