Kathy, My error! Please forgive me. I did read, and then re-read your post, but in editing my response, I neglected to delete that question to you:-( I hope we're good on this oversight! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1663 | How many layers of meaning in the Bible? | 2 Tim 2:1 | BradK | 235528 | ||
Helsrisen, It might help to know what your theological presuppositions are? What do you believe regarding scripture itself? Is it the inspired, infallible Word of God? However, scripture only has one meaning- the one intended by the original(inspired) author, to the audience he was writting, within the context. The 1 Cor. 9:9-10 passage you're referring to needs to be interpreted within the context in which it was written. In other words, you can't pull a verse out, isolate it, and say, "this is what it means". Given the above, Possibly the question you're asking is Can a Text have more than one meaning? Yes, it can have more than one meaning if the human author conciously intended multiple meanings of his work. In this case, did Paul intend 2 meanings? Without further clarification I'd be very careful in saying "Two audiences, two meanings, both intended by the author." How do you know this? You're making an assumption without providing much support! Again, does the reader detrmine the meaning, the text determine the meaning or does the Author determine the meaning?

1665 | Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 80253 | ||
Dear jervinj, I'd like to comment on a couple of points you raised, while at the same time avoiding a debate on this topic. What was the purpose of Christs' baptism? It surely was not for salvation,..."but to fulfill all righteouness." ( Matt. 3:15) As you state that,"Salvation can not be complete without water baptism", is this not then a work? What of the gospel clearly proclaimed by Paul in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 and the undeniable "by faith" passages in Eph. 2:8-9, and Titus 3:5? The context of John 3 does not, in my estimation warrant "water baptism": "Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus *said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." My understanding is that verse 6 is the clear response to vs. 3-5: 6“That which is born of the flesh(natural birth)is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit(Spiritual birth) is spirit." What do you think? Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

1666 | Why are there disagreements... | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 109727 | ||
EdB, In just jumping in on this thread, I think you've spoken well. Very well said.There is some "middle ground" on which to stand. I believe we'd agree that while 'ignorance is no virtue", one need not be a seminary graduate to minister and be used of God? I think this in keeping with 2 Tim. 2:15.

1667 | "That's just your interpretation."(?) | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 117015 | ||
kalos, Good Article! I've read it prior to your post- in fact used it as a handout in our class this past summer on- Biblical Interpretation. I would echo Dr. Wallace's point in regard to laziness. Many simply don't do due diligence in their study of scripture. Many further are ignorant of the basic principles(or that they even exist) and do not avail themselves of resources by great men whom God inspired likewise. We can learn much by standing on the shoulders of giants. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1668 | Are the heathen lost? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 138940 | ||
Hi He-Man, I noticed that you responded to me and not titanic13. Also, as a general note: Your posts are hard to follow because you provide very little foundation in answering questions. For example, with this one: You don't answer his question. You just quote a definition of "Heathen" and then I assume paste from your Logos some Bible verses. I would try and give a brief explanation of "how" those verses are relevant, or how they apply to the question at hand. You may know "what" you intend, but to others like myself, its' not abundantly clear. It's a bit confusing, my friend:-) I'm sure I'm not the only one left wondering.

1669 | 5 ways Joseph was like Jesus | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 150058 | ||
g'day Bruce, This will be my only response to you, mate. Your age really tells it all. You admit to not being a Christian, which is fine. However, I urge you to ask Jesus Christ into your heart, now. He loves you. This is a Study Bible Forum and it does have some guidelines. If you're really looking for answers and not just playin' games mate, you might want to read them. The Bible is revered as the Word of God- because it is. The language you use and the manner in which you convey yourself, tell me you're not serious! Don't expect to be taken seriously. i think datz a fair assesment, don't u? Gal. 2:20 BradK |

1670 | question | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 151245 | ||
Hi jtvd, Thanks for being honest:-) I guess my advice as a former (and still student) is that it's always best to do one's own research first. Use or make available all resources at your disposal. Then when you've exhausted that, post a question. In posting to the SBF, let us know what your predicament is and where you are running into a snag, and you'll receive some sound direction (usually). Again, I hope this helps, BradK |

1671 | Watch out that no one deceives you.... | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 164947 | ||
Hi Brenda L, Glad I could be of help. The gist of what I was saying is found in Eph. 4:14; "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 |

Hi sc, You replied to me, not Evette, so she will not receive your reply. As a note to Eph. 6:14, Gal. 2:20 tells us that "Christ lives in me". We see Christ personified in the Armor of God, He is the Truth, He is our salvation, He is our Righteousness. God did not give us things, but a Person- the Lord Jesus Christ!

1674 | Last what is an effeminate? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 177334 | ||
Hi journey_me, The word you refer to is (Gr.) malakoi. The Enhanced Strongs Lexicon gives the following uses:[malakos] adj. Of uncertain affinity; GK 3434; Four occurrences; AV translates as “soft” three times, and “effeminate” once. 1 soft, soft to the touch. 2 metaph. in a bad sense. 2a effeminate. 2a1 of a catamite. 2a2 of a boy kept for homosexual relations with a man. 2a3 of a male who submits his body to unnatural lewdness. of a male prostitute. In context, It means abusers of themselves with men or males involved in unnatural lewdness. Vincent gives the meaning as: Luxurious and dainty. The word was used in a darker and more horrible sense, to which there may be an allusion here. I trust this helps, BradK |

1676 | The entire spiritual meaning of Agabov | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 193080 | ||
Hank and Forum, In my Saturday morning study time, I took the liberty to do a little "research"-perusing on my Logos. I found no such word "Agabov" in the Hebrew. Further, the majority of times according to Strongs 697, the word 'arbeh' is used for locust. The closest I came was Is. 33:4, where 'gabahh' is used. It has 34 times and its basic meaning is "to be high", "be exalted". Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1677 | negative self concept | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 196056 | ||
Hi alfonsg, There are numerous directives in scripture that beseech a believer to be humble. I'll reference a few: Luke 18:13-14- "But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!' "I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted." (NASB) Rom. 12:16- "Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation." (NASB) Eph. 4:1-2- "Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love," (NASB) Phil. 2:3- "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves" (NASB) ' While scripture doesn't specifically use the term "negative self-concept", it does refer to thinking correctly as such. In other words, what we say and think about ourselves can and does develop our "self-concept". I find these key verses in Proverbs- " you have been snared with the words of your mouth, Have been caught with the words of your mouth," (6:2) "Listen, for I will speak noble things; And the opening of my lips will reveal right things. "For my mouth will utter truth; And wickedness is an abomination to my lips." (8:6-7) "For as he thinks within himself, so he is."(23:7) "And my inmost being will rejoice When your lips speak what is right." (23:16) If I can summarize it his way: The Bible teaches that we are to be humble in our minds towards others while we are to have proper thinking from within. In other words, improper (unbiblical) thinking will lead to improper (negative) results. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1678 | I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A VERSE | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 197230 | ||
Hello HYPER, No, I'm not aware of any Bible verse that specifically deals with the stopping of blood. It is doubtful that a "verse" could in and of itself stop bleeding. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1679 | more than one gospel? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 209440 | ||
Hello truth, I'm well aware of what they teach. I've attended a couple ultra-dispensational churches in the past. I've read Stam, Bullinger, Welch, and O'Hair. I wouldn't call them heretical. They don't generally deny any of the essential doctrines and uphold Orthodoxy. But-as I see it- they focus on a fringe and major on splitting hairs. They are a minority when it comes to numbers and churches. I consider the WOF movement much more dangerous! Speaking the Truth in Love, Bradk |

1680 | stand up for what you believe | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 209458 | ||
Hello Truth, I've been among this crowd, so I know of what you speak and am aware of the extremes this framework can lead to. From my experience, oftentimes when we get labeled, we must then defend the label. So, I prefer to say, "ask me what I believe and I'll tell you". Sometimes, it depends on what side of the coin you're on- so to speak- as far as calling someone a "Hyper"-this or "Ultra"-that. I hope that makes sense? There's understanding to be had on both sides. Part of the problem may be that your "friends" don't really know or fully understand "what" they believe. If they did, they should be able to address the concerns. For me, the challenge became the dead-end. Once you learn all the "doctrines" and schemes, then what? I read just about everything I could, and ultimately, it lead me in circles, with the end being burnout. I lost interest in the "things of Christ" (Phil. 2:21) because I was seeking after knowledge. Knowledge became the quest- and it was empty after 8 years! It wasn't till a few years later- and after I came to the Church where we currently fellowship, that I regained my desire and passion for Christ! Much of that was additionally fueled by my involvment and fellowship right here on the SBF! It opened me to new horizons and study with other believers. I've since come to really embrace that we have much more in common in the essential doctrines of the faith than we do by splitting hairs through (Hyper)Dispensationalism! Our battle is spiritual (Eph. 6:12) and not with other believers who don't see the "Mystery"- if you know what I mean? I encourage you to stick around and learn and grow with us. I challenge you to become part of the solution:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
