Hi Doc, Very well said. There is nothing new indeed under the sun! The enamourment with Judiaism, i.e. "Messianic Judiaism" seems to be caught (entrenched) in than the exact behavior/mindset that the book of Galatians seeks to correct! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Vintage, Who are "people holding the cessationist belief"? Are you speaking against the "Cessationist" belief regarding continuation of the office of Apostle? What "assumptions", lack of documentations, etc? I'm not at all clear what you're saying! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello FTK, Welcome to the Forum. Possibly you could enlighten me on a couple items?: 1. In regard to Bible translations, you state, "There is much error". That's a very general statement. Can you provide specific examples?; 2.You also state, "Truth it will feel wonderful", and "All Truth from God produces feelings that are good,warm,loving" Quite honestly, this seems foreign to Biblical theology! Do you have solid scriptural support for this notion? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello nocompromise, Your statement about the NWT, "the beleif is that the world will not end, it is heaven" may be that held by the Jehovah's Witness, but it stikes me as curious. The NWT is not a translation, but rather a badly done mis-translation- a perversion. No serious, Orthodox scholar places any trust in it as there are no known, credible or otherwise reputable OT Hebrew or NT Greek authorities among the JW's! It is a mis-translation done soley for the purpose of supporting and promulgating their heretical teachings/doctrines! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

386 | Dialogue with KJV only person? | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 215818 | ||
Hello justme, I would concur with our other brothers' advice. Proverbs 8:5 comes to mind: "O naive ones, understand prudence; And, O fools, understand wisdom." (NASB) From my perspective and experience, it's difficult if not impossible to enter into a rational discussion with someone who isn't. Based on that, (your) avoiding the subject seems the prudent course. I would! Why are they insisting on a dialog? What do they hope to gain? "The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable, But the mouth of fools spouts folly." (Prov. 15:2) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Bab53, Welcome to the Forum. My question when this type of extra-biblical stuff comes up is this: Since Paul tells us explicitly that, "...it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me;..." (Gal. 2:20), why would we need a guardian angel? Is not Christ greater than any angel? I too see very little- limited- Biblical support for the notion of a guadian angel!

To: Brother Hank "we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord." (2 Cor. 5:9) You are departed and with Christ, for that is far better! To God be the glory... BradK |

Humilty: Please, stop the patronizing remarks! They are not necessary, they're full of assumption and over-generalizing about Christians. In short, they're not edifying. With all due respect, I don't know under what authority you speak "truth" from, but you don't have it all figured out. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Vintage: You seem to be stating that you have Paul's argument/position on tongues figured out? Am I missing something here? I'm sorry if you feel that the discussion thus far has not been to your liking. Might I ask you to provide more of an explanation of exact shortcomings you see with personal doctrines, beliefs, prejudices. Don't we all have a certain degree of bias in our approach to scripture? Thank you for your reminder of what this Forum is all about. I trust you've gained sufficient insight in the time you've been on the SBF? I would also suggest that it is far easier to be part of the problem than the solution! I find your definition of exegesis a bit patronizing to say the least. Perhaps you'd care to enlighten all of us, so that we too can be on par educated. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Vintage, I'll allow Tim to respond on his comments. I believe he was addressing some specific issues he has with MacArthur. I'm not sure I follow your argument! However, it is far too general, unfair, and un-warranted to label MacArthur as a deceiver!Your condemnation is entirely misdirected! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Mike, I'd caution using personal experience to validate something such as this! You state that if you're in a church " which believes and allows Holy Spirit to minister in this fashion"? This seems to imply other chuches do not! How does a church "allow" the 3rd Person of the Godhead anything? Now, with that said, what does any of this have to do with proclaiming Christ and Him crucified? (1 Cor. 2:2) Where is the preeminence of Christ? (Col. 1:18) We should not be proclaiming ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord? The undue and never-ending emphasis on a fleshly gift seems to override our focus upon the risen Lord. May we seek to " know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;" (Phil. 3:10) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello julia-marie, Welcome to the Forum. If I may, this is a highly debatable and emotionally charged topic, so be aware that all may not be in agreement... myself included:-) First, John 16:23 needs to be understood in it's CONTEXT- and quoted text verbatim! Without context, all you have is pretext. The entire verse reads, "In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you." (NASB) To what does, "In that day..." refer to?. I would offer that it's not tongues!; Second, Eph. 6:18 reads "With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints," (NASB) Again, the entire context of the verse- and passage- must be considered. The context is speaking to the "armor of God" and it is Christ personified in these attributes!; Third, does not God understand English? Though tongues is indeed a gift, not all have it (1 Cor. 12:30), nor are they supposed to. I would much rather seek the "more excellent way"- Love and the Giver of the gifts, the Lord Jesus Christ!

394 | Is tithing a command for chriatians? | 2 Cor 9:7 | BradK | 214810 | ||
Hello Beja, I appreciate and respect your answer. Thought I do hold to a decidedly dispensational framework, I'm not purposing that it is the "end-all". My purpose was not to contrast the law with grace and affirm we're not under a legal standard (obligation if you will) in regards to our giving. Instead, we're to be motivated by God's grace- what He has done for us in Christ Jesus! (Rom. 6:14) I still would maintain that we need to be careful of and take into consideration context when applying passsages such as Mal. 3:10. I hope this clarifies:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

395 | Is tithing a command for chriatians? | 2 Cor 9:7 | BradK | 214799 | ||
Hello Vintage, Allow me to add a comment if I may:-) Malachi 3 is used quite often to support "tithing" as being "for us", yet it cannot be divorced from it's context. In verse 6 it addresses, "O children of Jacob"! The questions 'who is speaking', 'who is being spoken to', and 'what is being spoken about' are critical to understanding any passage- particularly this one. I don't believe this passage addresses the Church- the Body of Christ. I'd refer to 2 Cor. 9:6-7. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello MJH, In answer: I'd simply refer back to the story of Rahab! The fact that she lied was not the issue with God- it was her faith! (Heb. 11:31, James 2:25) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello keliy, Amen! And...might we better say what scripture says, "But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption," (1 Cor. 1:30- NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

398 | Is Soul Sleep Biblical? | 2 Cor 5:8 | BradK | 214576 | ||
"HOPE BEYOND THE GRAVE This weekend we celebrate and remember the death and resurrection of our Lord Yeshua. Because He lives, we have HOPE BEYOND THE GRAVE! I Thessalonians 4:14 makes it clear that our future hope is based on His resurrection. The KJV English words “even so” are from the Greek “houto” meaning “in the same manner.” Read John 20:4-9; Romans 8:18-25; Philippians 3:20-21; and I John 3:1-3 and lift your heart of praise up to the Lord and worship Him! FACTS ABOUT BELIEVERS WHO DIE Death is NOT the end! It is simply the “release” of our soul/spirit into the presence of the Lord. The physical body that is put into the grave will one day be resurrected - believers truly have HOPE BEYOND THE GRAVE. 1. According to the Bible, believers are carried by angels into the present of the Lord and to Abraham, the father of all who believe - Luke 16:22 2. The Bible teaches that when we die we will then be “comforted” - Luke 16:25 3. The Bible makes it clear that our souls and spirits are not simply vapor or gasses floating in space; we will have a temporary body of some sort awaiting the final resurrection body - read II Corinthians 5:1-9 and Revelation 6:11 where we are told that believers who have died are given “white robes.” 4. The Bible indicates that we are not unconscious after death, nor are we sleeping! It is the physical body that is pictured as sleeping in the grave. According to the Bible believers are fully conscious and able to communicate - Revelation 6:9 5. Interestingly, believers who have died are described as having concern about God’s prophetic plans - Revelation 6:10 6. One of the strongest statements about what we will be doing after we die is found in Psalm 16:11 and in Luke 15:7 and 10: We will experience “fullness of joy” and have “joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth” 7. Believers who have died are also urged to be contented until the day of the Resurrection - Revelation 6:11; 14:13 8. One of the most blessed teachings of the Bible is that believers who are alive will one day be reunited with those who have died and already are “with the Lord” - the Lord has planned a great reunion - a “meeting in the air” - what a day that will be! I Thessalonians 4:16-17 9. The Bible makes it quite clear that this HOPE BEYOND THE GRAVE is a remedy for all our worries, troubles, and fears. I Thessalonians 4:18 tells us to “comfort one another with these words” - consider the results of this remedy: It eliminates mental DIFFICULTIES - I Thessalonians 4:13 - “I would not have you to be ignorant” It eliminates emotional DEPRESSION - same verse says “sorrow not as others who have no hope” It eliminates personal DISCOURAGEMENT - I Thessalonians 5:4-11 explains this HOPE BEYOND THE GRAVE that will spare us from the coming “wrath of God” upon this planet during the “Day of the LORD” - God did NOT appoint church-age believers to experience that coming day of terror. We are exhorted to “comfort one another” once again!" [Dr. David Hocking] BradK |

Hello Raymie, Welcome to the forum! Pardon me asking, but I'm curious about your statement, "We all know what the Church teaches". Your assumption seems to be that what the "Church" teaches is wrong? What exactly is it that you have issue with about the Church and why? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

400 | False Prophet | 2 Cor 11:13 | BradK | 214530 | ||
William Branham: False prophecies “I never preached anything in my life under inspiration I had to take back, ‘cause I don’t depend on my own understanding.” (Oneness, 2/11/62, V-10, N-2, sermon page 16-87) “ See, immediately after the coming of THIS Elijah, the earth will be cleansed by hate and the wicked burned to ashes. Of course, this did NOT happen at the time of John (the Elijah for his day.)… .” (THE MESSAGE TO THE LAODICEAN AGE p.13). Did this happen immediately after he died? Branham believed himself to be THIS Elijah, the earth was not cleansed nor the wicked burned. “That this age will, end around 1977. …, I base this prediction on seven major continuous visions that came to me one Sunday morning in June, 1933. The Lord Jesus spoke to me and said that the coming of the Lord was drawing nigh, but that before He came, seven major events would transpire. ( W. Branham, THE MESSAGE TO THE LAODICEAN AGE, p.29).” “ I still maintain this prediction after thirty years because, Jesus DID NOT say no man could know the year, month, week or day in which His coming was to be completed. So I repeat, I sincerely believe and maintain as a private student of the Word, along with divine inspiration that 1977 ought to terminate the-World systems and usher in the millenium.” (Seven Church Ages Page 322) “ The revival is over. America had her last chance in 1957. Now the tongues, are God's sign of impending disaster, even as they were when they appeared upon the wall at Belshazzar's feast….(W. Branham, THE MESSAGE TO THE LAODICEAN AGE p.29) According to revivalists today who endorse Branhams ministry we are currently experiencing a revival of unprecedented proportions. So is Branham a false prophet according to them or are they false according to Branham.” [LetUsReason.org] “Like most of the "giants" of Pentecostalism, if one can get past the hype and the emotion and do some solid logical research one will discover the adage is true that states: "The best of men are men at best." I do not doubt Branham's sincerity, nor His love for Jesus but it is indisputable that his teachings were heretical and many of his prophecies failed to come to pass. Due to teaching false doctrine and giving out false prophecies, William Branham must be labeled a false prophet.” “ One thing which characterized his meetings was his total dependence upon an angel. When his angel would show up then supernatural events and manifestations would begin to occur. Once he was asked if it was the Holy Spirit that did these things in his meetings. What was Branham's response? No, my angel does these things! When ministering to people William Branham would always ask them if they believed he was God's prophet. When they answered yes then he would begin to tell them what was wrong with them and lay hands on them and send them on their way. It seemed as if the people had to buy into his claim to be a prophet before the angel (spirit) would reveal to Branham what was wrong with them. [ Forgotten Word Ministries] BradK |
