1621 | Which saints will be left behind? | 1 Thess 4:17 | BradK | 188656 | ||
M. Royal, So, J. Dwight Pentecost really missed the boat and was entirely mistaken? Hmmm...and you're absolutely positive of your position and it's correctness? In Him, BradK |

1622 | Which saints will be left behind? | 1 Thess 4:17 | BradK | 188670 | ||
Dear M. Royal, I appreciate the scritpure references- and I agree with your initial remarks. However, they seems to be getting off track from ny response and what I'm trying to convey. Will or will not there be any saved during the tribulation? Your replies seem a bit too succinct and dismissive of other views- namely Pentecost. How does your view take precedence and can you elaborate further on why you hold to such? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello M. Royal, Could we go beyond "simple"? I'm not following you entirely. Your response needs some futher explanation. What do you think "adds to or takes away" means? How would someone being saved during the tribulation add to or take away from the word of God? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello M. Royal, With all due respect, I know what "to contradict" means! You are not answering the question I asked. What I'm looking for, is some definitive answer to the specific question I asked in regards to "HOW" those being saved somehow adds to what scriptures says! Again, you're not answering the question and it's becoming apparent that you're being purposfully evasive- if I might observe! Can you please try to be much more specific and way less brief? I've asked for a lot more detail from you and all I seem to get is the same type of "run around" vague answers. None of this is enlightening nor serves to provide any serious study! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1625 | The Lord told me to tell you..." ? | 1 Thess 5:20 | BradK | 140591 | ||
Doc, I always enjoy your perspective and am planning on checking out the resources you provided links to. I've have read "The Silence of God" by Sir Robert Anderson. He makes a very strong case for cessasionism. I was wondering if you're familiar with him and have any thoughts on his works? Interestingly, in our adult Sunday School class, one of the ladies said just that- "you're limiting God"- in our discussion regarding the authority of the Word and whether miracles are normative, etc.[with respect to opposing views:-)] Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1626 | Questions for the KJV-Only cult | 1 Thess 5:21 | BradK | 121638 | ||
jcsav, Without trying to be curt, you offered a rather simplistic answer that ignores much. I'm not minimizing the role of the Holy Spirit as teacher, comforter, etc. But, let's be honest. In Acts they did not have the completed Canon of Scripture. We do. What God has left us with is His entire "instruction manual", so that ALL scripture is profitable for teaching, etc. Now the Holy Spirit helps us to understand (1 Cor. 2:11), but it is the completed Word of God by which we know, understand, and believe. I wouldn't be so passe on translations because there are some differences. You're correct if we go with the original text, however, few of us have the expertise to do so. The TNIV would be a prime example of a not-so-good translation (I do have a copy). Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1628 | What is "slain in the spirit"? | 1 Thess 5:21 | BradK | 158284 | ||
Mark, If I may interject here. Absolutely not! Why would we need to "experience" this- especially as there is not a shred of biblical support for it? What scripture would back this notion? As salvation is wholly of God, by grace through faith how would it be easier to explain after we've experienced it? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1629 | What is "slain in the spirit"? | 1 Thess 5:21 | BradK | 158285 | ||
Mark, Please. I'm not trying to be condescending, but that's a huge stretch to say John 18:6 supports in any way, shape , or form "being slain in the spirit"! You are completely ignoring the context my friend. Aside from that, those participating in this nonsense are not Jesus Christ the Son of God. You are correct, most of the activity is indeed fake. It is a theatrical gimmick that plays well on the medium of television. People are so craving an "experience" that they willingly check their brains out and ignore the plain teaching of scripture. What does Eph. 4:14 say? "As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1630 | What is "slain in the spirit"? | 1 Thess 5:21 | BradK | 158343 | ||
Mark, You have to ignore the plain meaning of the text to arrive at what you say demonstartes being "slain in the spirit"! The plain meaning is that they fell down at His feet because they recognized that He was Jesus, the Christ, God-incarnate. It is pure speculative eisegesis to say he "slew them in the spirit"! How do you arrive at this interpretation? What others, i. e. scholars would support your view? Mark, you're on very tenuous ground at best here! You are twisting the Word of God, my friend. There is simply NO scripture to back or lend support to this notion. None! I think we need to move on to real study of the Bible and off pure speculation:-( Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1631 | What is "slain in the spirit"? | 1 Thess 5:21 | BradK | 158344 | ||
Mark, I was saved by placing my faith in the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ! I was not saved by any experience! My experience was somewhat emotional in that I recognized my sinfulness and need of a Savior! But, again, it is not the experience that saves us, it is the finished work of Christ (Titus 3:5). Mark, I have to wonder if you're familiar with scripture? I say this because of the large emphasis you seem to place on experience! The Bible, on the other hand does not refer to salvation as an experience. Rather, we believe God and place our faith into the finished work of His Son Jesus! (Rom. 4:3, 10:9) |

1634 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | BradK | 220610 | ||
Hello wordoer, Tithing is not NT. 10 Percent is merely a basis from the OT. Technically, we owe Him everything! It's not a hard and fast rule! The principle of "free will" giving is detailed by Paul in 2 Cor. 9- 2 Cor 9:6 "Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." 2 Cor 9:7 "Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

1635 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | BradK | 220612 | ||
Hello Wordoer, I can only answer that it appears you are confusing what was directed to Isreal as belonging to the Church. Thought the word "tithe" may be used in the NT, in what context? Is it prescribed as a command? I believe there's a distinction. Mal. 3:8-9 is not a proof-text command or promise to the Body of Christ. Since we have been "blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ" (Eph. 1:3), what more are we to seek? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1636 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | BradK | 220639 | ||
Hello Wordoer, Thanks for your response. Here's some additional perspective that may help: I noted the references to "tithe" and "tithes" in NT. Tithe is only used in Mt. 23:23 and Lk. 11:42. Tithing is used in Lk. 18:12 and Heb. 7:8-9. In regard to Hebrews, yes there are multiples of references to and quotes from the OT. The summary of it can be said to show the superiority of Christ over the OT system! None of the NT references -within context- are teaching the continuation of the OT tithe. You state, "...the basis on which the Law is set that obedience to it will bring blessings, and disobedience would bring a curse." Remember, we're not under law, but under grace (Rom. 6:14). Your statement takes us back to Deut. 28 and would specifically refer to Isreal- not the Church! Isreal was told that their obedience would bring about God's blessing, and their consequent disobedience would bring about His curse- which are listed in 28:16ff. If we as believers are under a performance standard, then we're not under grace (Rom.11:6). I would also submit, that if we're facing "curses" from God for our disobedience, then Christ's sacrifice was not wholly sufficient to atone for our sin (Heb. 10:18). The tithe was established to support the priest and Levites. See Duet. 26:12-16- "When you have finished paying all the tithe of your increase in the third year, the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the stranger, to the orphan and to the widow, that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied." Note also who it was directed to: Num. 18:21-26 "To the sons of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they perform, the service of the tent of meeting." The NT believer is under the principle of "free will" giving as taught by paul in 2 Cor. 8:10- 9:15. I would offer that 10 percent is a good starting place, but not a hard-and-fast rule!

Pastor Tim, Amen! Well said and I agree with your perspective. It's not about being "forced" to give. It's about being a cheerful giver out from our heart that matters! It is indeed an excellent practice to develop! Tit. 2:12-13. Spekaing the Truth in Love, BradK |

1638 | Rowdy, Rowdy, are you sure? | 1 Tim 2:9 | BradK | 132477 | ||
Aixen First, I hope you're not suggesting that the study of Gods' Attributes is of no value? I've found the opposite to be true! we get to know Him and His character- who He is - through the attributes. Second, the reference to 2 Tim. 2:15 does not necessarily imply a vain, intellectual excercise. In fact, I see it as far more than just that. You're quite correct that we should not study the Word just to get to know the Word (intellectually), but that we should study it to get to know the Person of the Savior! We study the Word to get to know the Author, as Paul implores us in Phil. 3:10: "that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death" To use the old cliche, "Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater." As James tells us we should be doers of the Word, not hearers only, deceiving ourselves. In that we should agree. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
