1361 | Does sin prove one is not a believer? | 1 Cor 6:9 | BradK | 157828 | ||
Hi David, Welcome to the Forum. Not to gang up on you or hound you my friend:-) How does 1 John 2 tell us that to remain saved you must "continue in Him?" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1362 | Does sin prove one is not a believer? | 1 Cor 6:9 | BradK | 157857 | ||
Hi David, Regrettably, one verse of scripture does not prove a doctrine! In principle, we look at context and interpret the less clear from the more clear verses. Why don't we go to 1 John 5:13: "These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life." Theologically, I'm not in agreement with you and do not wish to engage in another debate on eternal security my friend! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi David, I think 3 questions are in order to put this in perspective: 1.Does God exist outside of time?; 2. How many of my and your sins were future to the cross? 3. What support do you have for your rendering of Colossians 2:13? It doesn't agree with any that I'm aware of and ignores the plain meaning of the text! The issue with our Christian walk is not to see how close to the edge we can get, but rather how close to the Savior we can get! Speaking the truth in Love, BradK |

Hi David, Phil 2:12 cannot be understood on it's own (nor should it be) since both verses constitute one sentence in the original Greek! Let's quote both verses: "So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." It is grammatical folly to interpret verse 12 apart from the context of verse 13! As such, we must recognize that (vs.13) believers do not produce their own salvation; this is the exclusive work of God. The emphasis here is entirely on what God does! God is the one working in you, and is the one continuosly energizing in you. We also observe that God works in believers unto the end "to work", produce, effect, and accomplish that which is His good pleasure. I'd be a little more careful about slinging scripture to proof-text your doctrine:-( Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi David, I too must echo the call fom kalos! Would you care to explain yourself with Phil. 1:6, 10? I do not see a condition in verse 6 and verse 10 reads, "so that". I applaud your enthusiasm, my friend. However, your apparent causual disregard for accuracy leaves me hanging! I will be direct by saying, you simply cannot and should not continue to use sloppy eisegesis to make your arguments! Please be more cireful in what you post and take the time to back it up properly:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello, So, is it adam's son or writteninthebook? The Terms of Use explicitly state: YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS "In consideration for your use of the Restricted Area, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself" I have a problem with the dual registration in that it: 1. Violates Lockman's policy; 2. Creates confusion with other posters Would you please care to explain this apparent oversight and/or remove one of your alter egos? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1369 | is smoking a sin? | 1 Cor 6:12 | BradK | 161245 | ||
Hi Brenda, First of all, I'm a non-smoker. I briefly looked at the site and it makes its' point. With your question, I thought of James 4:17. Though there is no direct scriptural prohibition against smoking, 1 Cor. 6:19 makes a good case. Even with that said, I wouldn't call smoking one of the "Filthy 5", or "Nasty Nine". Without making light of anything, you are under grace. God's not going to send you to hell for it, and I don't think it would seriously hamper your testimony?! Think of this: If we all had glass heads, and everyone could view our thought lives, we'd ALL be in serious trouble! "The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more" (Rom. 5:20) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1370 | Divorce Cult Member ? | 1 Cor 7:1 | BradK | 87418 | ||
Searcher, Let me preface my response by saying this:My wife and I got married because we believe in marriage. We didn't get married "to try it" and divorce is NOT an option for us! I've never counseled anyone regardless of their situation or circumstances to get a divorce( and I've counseled a few). I believe that strongly in marriage. My feelings are that if you got married, you need to stick to it, tough it out and make it work:-) As scripture instructs, we should seek the godly counsel of other believers.(Prov. 19:20) However, that being said, and knowing that scripture is clear, we also need to allow for some grace. We are not perfect and do not always make the right choices or decisions. Divorce is not the unpardonable sin. I hope that clarifies my view. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

1371 | Please help me understand divorce. | 1 Cor 7:1 | BradK | 167667 | ||
Hi believer, Again, I would encourage you to check and read (i.e. study) 1 Cor. 7, particularly verses 25-40. Additionally, you might note the permanent and intimate bond, Matt. 19:5-6. I would offer that as fornication excludes remarriage- Matt.5:32- that there is no direct prohibition against him re-marrying! You both need to do as you as you feel lead of the Lord through prayer, study of His Word and mature counsel:-) May this guide you. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1372 | is it a sin to have sex on your period | 1 Cor 7:3 | BradK | 223994 | ||
Hello Beja, Thanks for your input on this. I did neglect to mention it, but concur and agree about admitting Lev. 18:19. I realize Leviticus is replete with types and allusions to the Person and work of Christ and that the focus of the book centers around the concept of the holiness of God. As such, the (nation of) Isreal is told how they can acceptably approach Him. In contrast, "He has made us accepted in the Beloved (Eph. 1:6). Our being acceptable to Him is conditioned by us being "in Christ" (en Christo), not by keeping laws! "...Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes" (Rom. 10:4 NKJV) My view then, is that these Laws of Sexual sins were specifically given (through the Lord to Moses) to the children of Israel (vs.1). I do not hold that they're still binding upon us a believers in the Body of Christ! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1373 | is it a sin to have sex on your period | 1 Cor 7:3 | BradK | 224000 | ||
Hello Beja, I'm not saying that God doesn't have a certain standard of behavior He expects from us. To the contrary (Eph. 4:1). However, I was not implying this in regards to our salvation, but in sanctification. Please don't hear what I'm not saying in regards to Lev. 18. How would this passage apply to the Church? Again, I honestly don't think it would in reference to the context. While there may be principles there, I don't think the (direct)application is to or for the Church! Am I wrong? I think we're getting a bit astray from the original question, "is it a sin to have sex on your period"? I do not find any NT prohibition to such and would therefore leave this in the realm of James 4:17, "...to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin." (NASB) I simply don't find scripture dogmatic on this issue and see it as a matter between husband and wife:-) (cf 1 Cor. 7) To the contrary, I do not believe bestiality is acceptable in any way for a Christian! I note the OT prohibition against it in Lev. 20:15-16 and the applicable principle being timeless as it's consequence is death. It is also outside of any definition of marriage ordained by God!

1374 | is it a sin to have sex on your period | 1 Cor 7:3 | BradK | 224016 | ||
Hello Beja, Here's how I would reply. I think the overriding emphasis (and weight) be given to Pauls' NT expounding on principles of married life in 1 Cor. 7. He's addressing the church of God, those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints. He devotes on entire chapter to the issues of marriage! Particular are the boundaries given in vs. 3 and 4 about sexual relations between husband and wife. There are no qualifications given except that in the following: verse 5, "Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time..." So, I would take this to be an issue left between the husband and his wife. I would not give Lev. 18:23 the same emphasis for my previously stated reasons:-) I hope this clarifies my point.

1376 | Jesus not Legalism!! | 1 Cor 7:15 | BradK | 143925 | ||
Hi Liassmz, Welcome to the Forum. I read your profile and it would appear you're bringing some major personal baggage into the discussion here. We all have experiences that impact us- both good and bad. We do have to separate personal feelings from scriptural fact- sound doctrine. Without knowing the particular post or response, it would be impossible to comment on your thoughts. Care to be a bit more specific? I wouldn't necessarily take each and every post as representative of the SBF as a whole. I think you'd agree that there is wisdom in a multitude of cousellors! As has been wisely said, this is a Study Bible Forum, so issues dealing with personal matters, etc. are best left to a Pastor or other qualified counsellor! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Tara, With the respect that you obviously do not show in returning to the Forum (being deceitful), time and again in clear violation of it's Posting Guidleines and Terms of Use- why don't you go to find a JW Study Bible Forum? It would be more suitable to your erroneous views:-) In the meantime, God also has highly exalted Him (Jesus) and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and those under earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Jehovah), to the Glory of God the Father. You see, this is a direct quotation of Is. 45:18-23, where Christ is clearly given glory! If He be not God, then we are idolatrous! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1378 | One God, One Jesus Christ | 1 Cor 8:5 | BradK | 130265 | ||
Tim, Good job of portraying the inconsistency of the JW in regards to their own "translation". Aside from the errant theology (and non-scholarship) of the New World Perversion (let's call it what it is), they apparently don't even bother with being consistent. One of my good brothers noted some years ago in countering them that they don't even believe their translation- the NWT! Thanks for your solid input and well-seasoned scholarship of the Greek grammar. You certainly have demonstarted that you have much more substance to offer the the "suedo-scholars" of the NWT:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1379 | One God, One Jesus Christ | 1 Cor 8:5 | BradK | 130285 | ||
Tara, Let my final response to you be three-fold: 1. I believe Tim has pointed out the "inconsistencies" of the NWT in regard to the use of the definite article; 2. I too would like to know how John 1:1 can be made to translate as "a god" as this then is clearly POLYTHEISTIC! If as you've stated (among others) that there is only ONE God, how can the NWT of John 1:1 be consistent (and correct)? 3. The overiding neglected point of order is that you have come back on the Forum by deceit and again are in blatant violation of the Posting Guidelines and Terms of Use! How do you interpret that?

pcdarcan, I'm confused! When you state " you don't believe that Jesus is a god and you're trying to disprove it." What position do you hold? The Diety of Christ is not up for grabs- it is the postion of the Lockman Foundation who operates this Study Bible Forum. Furthermore, it is also, the historic and Orthodox position of the Churc. it is alos the position I hold to. I don't see logically, what fault you find in brother Tim's arguments. They are well supported among other things. Feel free to provide us some insight into your background by updating your user profile:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
