1501 | Beware "Another" | 2 Cor 11:4 | BradK | 156355 | ||
Hi victor, If you wish to lodge a complaint against another Forum member, you can e-mail Lockman. However, it might be more constructive to dialog and discuss your specific challenges to what Doc wrote. I think this would lead to more fruitful discussion. Also, realize that this is a public Study Bible Forum. It should go without saying that not everyone will agree with every position taken by others! We have and have had many fine Catholics on this Forum. I don't see where Doc said anything inherently biased to the point of being "anti-Catholic". It is one thing to disagree with a Church or its' doctrine, but quite another to "bash" the same. I hope this helps, BradK |

1502 | Beware "Another" | 2 Cor 11:4 | BradK | 156392 | ||
Victor, First, I'm not a Baptist, so you're wrong on that assumption. Second, after 10 posts you have us all figured out? Hmmmm... Personally, I think it confirms the old cliche that, "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". There is really no need to put down anyone on the Forum to elevate yourself, Victor. I'll be honest with you, my friend, you've exhibited some childish behavior since your inception on this Forum. There is wisdom in a multitude of counsellors. May you find what you're looking for elsewhere. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1504 | 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 |

1505 | John 1:1 and John 1:14; Is Jesus God? | 2 Cor 13:11 | BradK | 225266 | ||
Hello Martin, As a long-term memeber of the Forum, I'm well aware of the Terms of Use, etc :-) Was there something in my answer you found mis-directed? In my response to julcol, I wasn't implying or suggesting that the Nicene Creed is our authority or is in any way equal to scripture! It isn't! To the contrary. My reference to the Council of Nicea was simply to indicate the (original) source of the JW's error- Arianism! Nothing in my response was to direct her anywhere but scripture! I'm not sure why your reply was so cautionary? Are you by chance a member of the Watchtower Organization? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1506 | Oneness theology wrong again | 2 Cor 13:14 | BradK | 218127 | ||
Hello 5282tj, Welcome to the Forum. You said, "Jesus did not need a body to take back to Heaven with him. He was a spirit creature before he came to Earth and went back to being a spirit creature, when the need for a body came to an end." What scripture(s) would you use to support that? In noting Acts 1:11, do we not see that He ascended with a body and will also return in like manner? We know Jesus has a glorious body, as Phil. 3:21 tells us, "...who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory"(NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1507 | Oneness theology wrong again | 2 Cor 13:14 | BradK | 218137 | ||
Hello 5282jt, I'm not sure what you mean by your statements: "I wonder where these oddball teachings come from? I have never even heard this one before???" Are you saying you doubt the veracity of what I said? It's a generally understood, well-founded Orthodox view! Allow me to quote Charles Hodge- in part- from his Systematic Theology regarding the Ascension of Christ- Acts 1:9 And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. Acts 1:10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. Acts 1:11 They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." (NASB) "From these accounts it appears, (1.) That the ascension of Christ was of his whole person. It was the Theanthropos, the Son of God clothed in our nature, having a true body and a reasonable soul, who ascended. (2.) That the ascension was visible. The disciples witnessed the whole transaction. They saw the person of Christ gradually rise from the earth, and "go up" until a cloud hid Him from their view. (3.) It was a local transfer of his person from one place to another; from earth to heaven. Heaven is therefore a place." "Luther argued that as God’s right hand at which Christ in his glorified body sits, is everywhere, so that body must be everywhere. "All these on his ascension he laid aside, and now dwells in heaven as a glorified man." Sitting at the Right Hand of God- "This is the next step in the exaltation of our Lord. He rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God; that is, was associated with Him in glory and dominion. The subject of this exaltation was the Theanthropos; not the Logos specially or distinctively; not the human nature exclusively; but the theanthropic person. When a man is exalted it is not the soul in distinction from the body; nor the body in distinction from the soul, but the whole person." [Charles Hodge, Systematic Theology] We must remember, He is the God-man (1 Tim. 2:5)- theanthropos. Christ is the eternal Son of God. I trust this further clarifies what I'm saying.

Hello jt, So you say... I fail to understand your position- or response. Since you are rather vague about it, I really see little need to continue! Should you care to enlighten us and provide Biblical support for your view so we have something to discuss, I'd be happy to continue. Otherwise I have no desire to play cat and mouse:-) Are you a JW or member of the Watchtower Organization? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1510 | Should women be allowed to preach? | Galatians | BradK | 50089 | ||
Dear Sistet007, What is your SCRIPTURAL basis for backing up what you state? You are ignoring the context to simply imply that because Jesus "sent" Mary (Jn.20:17) that this is proof of Him "okaying" women to preach. The context does NOT support this. It is dealing with His appearance to Mary, not establishing the qualifications for pastors and teachers. Mere opinion does not prove the veracity of such speculation! This has been dealt with before, but I might suggest you read and study 1 Tim.2:11-3:13, Titus 1:5-9. Abiding in Him, BradK |

1511 | Justification By Faith Alone | Gal 2:16 | BradK | 225055 | ||
Justification Is by Faith, Not Works. "...nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified." (Gal. 2:16) Gal 3:11 "Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, "THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH." Gal 3:21 "Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law. Gal 3:22 "But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe." BradK |

1512 | No curse can touch you | Gal 3:13 | BradK | 220896 | ||
Hello giovanna, I think we should be clear about what scripture does and does not teach! What exactly is the biblical basis for this "generational curse" stuff? Where does scripture say or teach that once we come to Jesus, "and all my past generational curses that have been passed on to me by my ancestors are broken"? Gal 3:13 does not say, "that once we do except Jesus christ as our Personal Savior and Lord that all our past generational curses are no longer because Jesus became a curse for us" !? Who was being spoken to in Deut 28? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1513 | No curse can touch you | Gal 3:13 | BradK | 220897 | ||
Hello giovanna, Can you explain what the meaning of "curse of the law"? In other wodrs, what is the curse of the law? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1514 | What was the purpose of the law? | Gal 3:23 | BradK | 187328 | ||
Hello Lookn..., What verses would support that Paul came to salvation because of "the conviction that Jesus is Messiah?". Then, how would your reading and understanding of Rom. 7:42 and 1 Tim. 1:15 apply? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
||||||
1515 | What was the purpose of the law? | Gal 3:23 | BradK | 187371 | ||
Lookin..., OK. Sorry for the typo- Rom. 7:24! Again, let me reiterate the question: What verse(s) are you referring to in support of your contention. I'm not disagreeing that Paul did not show repentance, and he certainly recognized Jesus as Messiah- which is clear from his epistles!I'm simply asking for some clarification. In other words, what do YOU mean when you say, "Paul realized he was a sinner when he realized Jesus is the Messiah" Is this a general conclusion or is there specific scriptural support for this? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1516 | Speaking in tongues? Use by women? | Gal 3:28 | BradK | 122356 | ||
sheila, While I don't doubt your sincerity or the experience you had, I offer these 3 points: 1. We need to make sure that our faith is founded on fact, not emotion-laden experiences ( not that they're all bad); 2. We have received the Holy Spirit in accordance with 1 Cor. 12:13, "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." 3. I don't see how your reference to Matt. 13:11 relates contextually or otherwise. I just don't see a Biblical mandate to "Pray and ask God for this GIFT"- it is something we already have! I believe it a matter of yielding to that life of Christ in us (Gal.2:20). Out of curiosity, where does God tells us that "if you are serious he will provide"( the Spirit)? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1517 | Speaking in tongues? Use by women? | Gal 3:28 | BradK | 122379 | ||
jcsav, I'm confused! Could you explain exactly what the difference is? What is the scriptural basis for the distinction between being "filled with the Holy Ghost" and "speaking in tongues"? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1518 | Speaking in tongues? Use by women? | Gal 3:28 | BradK | 122394 | ||
WTB, Well, I can tell you didn't get the spirit of what I said ,and that's fine. However, you're coming across with an attitude of spiritual superiority and arrogance. This is not necessary:-) For one who apparently claims to be so spiritual as yourself, you also exhibit a great deal of sarcasm. That is your choice, of course. But, is that really "walking in the Spirit"? The bottom line is this: Many good believers- of which I consider you one- have arrived at different conclusions based on their study and understanding of scripture. That doesn't make one wrong. Orthodoxy is not agreement on every point of scripture. Even though I strongly disagree with you and others on the "sign gifts"- particularly tongues and the "baptism of the Holy Spirit" I certainly don't consider you heretical, aberrational, or outside mainstream Christianity. I would hope you'd allow me the same grace and latitude in keeping with Romans 14:1. Finally, please don't be so presumptuous and ASSUME I'm missing something, or I'm less spiritual, and not really knowing God. You're not the only one God is working through:-) You don't have a corner on the truth any more than I do, nor is your view of scripture necessarily THE correct one. Allow for some grace, and learn that it's OK to agree to disagree. I'm not challenging your right to believe as you do. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1519 | Speaking in tongues? Use by women? | Gal 3:28 | BradK | 122402 | ||
WTB, Thank you for your response and clarification. 1. I'm not "judging" that your arrogant and superior, but your words come across that way. I may be wrong, if I am, them please accept my apology:-); 2. I've never said or even implied that you're lying. We may disagree but that in no way makes you a liar any more than me. I do not think you're lying! It boils down to a matter of interpretation. 3. Rest assured that I'm secure in my salvation! I do know God, and I have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in accord with John 17:3 and 1 John 5:11-13: "“This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." "And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. 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." 4. My faith is in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, not just the "words" of scripture or "theologians" as the warning of Christ in John 5:39-40 refers. 5. I totally agree that God has a purpose for me- I believe I'm fulfilling it currently. However, I would have to disagree that His "purpose" necessarily intimates "signs and gifts". Consider, Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." God's word is Living, and It does have the ability to change my life and others as we believe it, and allow it to dwell richly in us! So, His Word is not just Rhema, but Logos! Many godly believers, who did not believe in the "sign gifts" accomplished much for the kingdom and were used in a mighty way:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

WTB, We are, indeed one in Christ:-) In light of our discussion, I thought you might appreciate this snipet from A.W. Pink's "Attributes of God": "The "god" of this twentieth century no more resembles the Supreme Sovereign of Holy Writ than does the dim flickering of a candle the glory of the midday sun. The "god" who is now talked about in the average pulpit, spoken of in the ordinary Sunday School, mentioned in much of the religious literature of the day, and preached in most of the so-called Bible Conferences is the figment of human imagination, an invention of maudlin sentimentality. The heathen outside of the pale of Christendom form "gods" out of wood and stone, while the millions of heathen inside Christendom manufacture a "god" out of their own carnal mind. In reality, they are but atheists, for there is no other possible alternative between an absolutely supreme God, and no God at all. A "god" whose will is resisted, whose designs are frustrated, whose purpose is checkmated, possesses no title to Deity, and so far from being a fit object of worship, merits nought but contempt." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
