Nick, Your statement that, "not all are saved in this age. Many will not be saved until after they die physically" is so far off-base Biblically I can't even begin to think where to start. Pray tell what verse or verses in scripture even support this? None!(Heb. 9:27) It is not merely a matter of interpretation Nick, but somewhere you've left the tracks and have veered way off course.(Maybe Carleton Pearson has influenced you?) My Friend, no need to e-mail or discuss further using proof-texting. I would strongly suggest you line yourself up with Orthodoxy and put aside this patent heresy! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Dr. Steeno, You sound like you may be familiar with the teachings of Bob George? Do you know of him? How exactly did you arrive at your understanding of this issue? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Steeno: Thank you for trying to clarify. My friend, I'm not necesarily challenging what you're saying, I'm simply trying to get you to cite the specific scriptures and build a logical, well-reasoned case from them... but as I said, I'm not trying to pull teeth:-) Eph 1:7- "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace" (NASB) Col 2:13 - "When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions," Col 3:13- "bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you."

Hello Steeno, Brother, I'm not able to follow your line of reasoning based on the extremely brief replies you're providing?! Can you explain what you mean by, "we are talking about the whole Bible here"? I'm not asking that you recite the entire Bible! I'm also not trying to pull teeth, but your last response is completely lacking context. Simply quoting Heb. 10:29 hardly answers the question! Would you be able to clearly elucidate and explain your postion/view on forgiveness giving some examples of scripture? Are you able to do so? I understand the finality of the cross and the fact that we are forgiven in Christ. However, if we are to understand what you're saying and arrive at any meaningful dialog, you'll have to help us out:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Steeno, Welcome to the Forum. My observation is your comments are a bit lacking in context, but I'm in no way doubting your sincerity. As a suggestion, you may get further if you took time to establish the "why and where" you're coming from- scripturally. In other words, lay out your argument and reasoning with support from scripture. With that in place, there might be a better foundation upon which to have a more fruitful discussion. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

587 | He betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver | 2 Cor 7:10 | BradK | 198642 | ||
Hello Good News Man, Allow me to add a couple points to Doc's response. First of all, you're getting into the land of scriptural ping-pong, where it just becomes a match of verses tossed back and forth. Your friend appears to be proof-texting and ignoring any context. What's his ultimate point?; Second, there's very little stated about Judas in scripture. From what is written, does the evidence suggest his eternal disposition or not?: Judas was coveteous and called a thief- John 12:4-6 He bargained to betray Jesus- Matt.26:14-16 He's called a devil- John 6:70-71 Satan entered into him (twice)- John 13:2, 27 He apostasied- John 17:12 He betrayed the Lord- Matt. 26: 47-50 He hung himself- Matt. 27:5 (compare 2 Cor. 7:10) It was prophesied that he would do so- Ps. 41:9, 109:8, Zech. 11:12-13 A reasoned, careful study should conclude that there is simply no compelling evidence supporting Judas being saved. To say otherwise is to reason from the silence of scripture! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Christina, As has been mentioned by Doc, the purpose of the SBF is not to provide counsel for personal relationship-type issues. These are better left to a Pastor and/or qualified Elder who knows you and your situation. However, Biblically, I'd refer you to read, re-read, meditate on and pray about 1 Cor. 7 if you haven't done so already! Scripture is very clear that we don't want to "get right with God" soley for the purpose of justifying continued wrong behavior and/or decisions. Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? Rom 6:2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? (NASB) While God does may have forgiven the sin, there may still be results (or consequences) of that behavior. Just be certain your motives are pure. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello sqkeener, You're correct that we can be fooled. Our emotions can fool us, and people can and do fool us, but the Word of God is certain. Maybe I should ask what your understanding is as to the basis of your salvation? Did you receive Christ at some point in your life (John 1:12)? Scripture declares: "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation." (Rom. 10:9-10 NASB) If you placed your faith in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, trusting that He died for your sins, then you have assurance of your salvation (1 John 5:11-13 NASB). How exactly are you out of God's will? Can you possibly describe it in terms of scripture? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Michael, If I might say, I've followed both the dialogs on this topic. I would suspect that we're at what's know as a standoff? My own position is being sympathetic to the Calvinist view. However, I truly do not see Tim of being anywhere near as guilty of "misconceptions", "inconsistencies", "being mistaken", "guilty of eisegesis" etc. as you state. The 500-plus year debate on Calvinisim vs. Arminiansim will not be solved this side of heaven:-) Personally, I don't see much further merit in continuing this point.

Hello again Walter, You said, "The idea that the gifts ceased after the Bible was given doesn't make sense". How so? Can you demonstrate why via scripture? Also, since scripture doesn't specifically say, how do you know the 'perfect' (to telios) "is talking about when we get our glorified bodies and we see Jesus face to face"? Please try and support your answers from scripture! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Walter, I can appreciate your passion for the gifts. Yet, even more so that we exalt and magnify the Giver of those gifts, the Lord Jesus Christ! He is preeminent, not the gifts (Col. 1:18)! No one can doubt your sincerity, but what really matters is not what you or I "believe" or what we affirm by our "testimonies". They can be deceiving. Rather, what does the Word of God affirm and teach about it (John 17:17). It is debatable whether the Holy Spirit is "operation today (exactly)in all the ways in which He was in the book of Acts". That is a metter of opinion. I think it far greater to seek the Lord and know Him than boast of miracles! (Phil. 3:10, Gal. 6:12 NASB)! Here's what I know and proclaim: "so that, just as it is written, "LET HIM WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD." (1 Cor. 1:31 NASB) "Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven." (Ps. 119:89 NASB) "For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." (1 Cor. 2:2 NASB) "For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake." (2 Cor. 4:5 NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello nettie, Welcome to the Forum. As an FYI, there is certain Forum protocol that I was following as a long-time user. There was no intent on not being helpful by not answering the question. I wouldn't expect someone new such as yourself to be familiar with this yet:-) The specific reason I answered the question "Dup question" was simply because it had posted some 25-plus times thereby clogging up the Home Page. Feel free to view my user profile if you'd like to get to know me better:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
