301 | KJV Only Help | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 232968 | ||
Hi, Dan... Two things that I kind of miss from KJV: 1. The older English distinguished second person singular from second person plural. 2. Over time, the KJV changed the English language, such that the translation actually improved. This is not a commendation to the translation itself, but rather the diligence of Bible students to clearly understand Biblical terms. In Him, Doc PS I do enjoy giving a KJV only person an actual bit of text from the 1611 version. :-) |

"The human heart is a factory of idols... Everyone of us is, from his mother’s womb, expert in inventing idols." --John Calvin |

Dear Ed, I don't think that the differing views are so much an issue on the Forum as is building doctrine on a metaphor used poetically in Psalms (Ps 69:28a). The other references in Revelation do not shed more light on the question -- nor does the single other reference in Pilemon 4:3. Clearly these references are idiomatic and would be understood as references to the Redeemed. We can also understand erasures (blotting out) and insertions -- all typified in records of lineage kept in the Temple. Neither Arminian or Calvinist would deem it wise to build doctrine on figures of speech. Consequently, the doctrines are built on didactic teaching; subsequent to that the figures of speech are understood within the doctrinal position. In Him, Doc |

Dear G, I do not necessarily agree or disagree. We are a Bible Study Forum. While blanket assertions based on some other authority than Scripture may be interesting in understanding the particular personality, mind-set, and experience of G. Preston -- doubtless a worthy study in itself -- our focus here is the study of the Bible. In Him, Doc |

Dear G, If your sources are entirely the Word of God, then it will be an easy thing to cite chapter and verse -- and will demonstrate your kind intent toward the forum participants and our gracious host. For which thing we will be very grateful. (cf Jeremiah 23:16) In Him, Doc |

Hi, Austin... That's true... but in a Study Bible Forum it is the first step for any kind of deliberation. It is also stated in the Terms of use. Concerning false teachers, you might be interested in post #156049 and #182013. I did a series of posts in a thread starting in #156916 on notes I had made in hermeneutics classes I took. In Him, Doc |

Dear G, Sounds good. Please go back and provide the Bible citations for all those assertions. This will help set the standard for how you want to be responded to -- besides being asked numerous times and being directed to the Terms of Use. Leap in there with that readiness to assist by putting in the effort to comply. Just think how we will all benefit. In Him, Doc |

Hi, you... Heresy is any teaching or practice that contradicts any of the essentials doctrines of Christianity, deserving condemnation. A very good example -- the denial of the nature and work of the Lord Jesus Christ -- is provided in 1 John 1:4-3 and 2 John 1:7-11. In Him, Doc |

311 | Adultery always involves married woman? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 233651 | ||
Dear Emeth, To be certain that there is no "surface sniffing" of the issue, might I suggest that you search the forum on the topics of which you are focused. You will find that they are nothing new -- goodness, no. You will further find much there to digest on the topic. Following that preparatory study, perhaps you would like to ask questions of a more narrow nature. Sweeping generalities tend to render sweepingly general responses. Which thing, does not render value to any of us. Finally, be prepared to listen to what people have to say from differing backgrounds. Despite what one particular forum participant has said -- a unique minority of one, by the way -- our gracious host, Lockman, wants us to interact with tolerance -- see the Terms of Use that you agreed to when you created your forum profile. The intent is that our diversity in Christendom will yield a variety of views; not that we will always agree, but in this way greater understanding will arise. Thank you for cooperating with Lockman and showing deference and respect for their provision of this forum, and for the many participants. In Him, Doc |

312 | Adultery always involves married woman? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 233659 | ||
Dear Emeth, There is at least two other possibilities, aside from concurrence and indifference: ignorance (not in the negative connotation of the word, but simply having no answer to give). I myself my fit in this third category, but I would have to admit to being in a fourth category, as well: lassitude. A lot of lengthy, topical questions take a lot of time to ferret through the presuppositions. When I see presuppositional issues, I cannot honestly answer the original question without dealing with those issues. However, sometimes I just don't have the energy left in me to do a proper job of it -- even if it would be appreciated. :-) I need to apologize, for to asking you to greater diligence in searching through the database, than I have been willing to do in even reading through your posts. That is neither respectful, nor considerate. Nonetheless, you will, indeed, find a lot of discussion over the years that might be of value to you. Since you are willing to go back through the various Lockman threads -- and I encourage you to use the advanced search which has a Google search option -- I will go back to your original post and read it through carefully. If I can add anything constructively to the responses you have already had, I will post them. In Him, Doc |

There is a a worthy series on Bible interpretation that started October 15th on the Renewing Your Mind daily broadcast. Very worthwhile for students of Scripture, regardless of background or amount of training. http://www.ligonier.org/rym/ |

315 | If not saved and suicide done Lost??? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 234163 | ||
Dear Mike, That was well written, well supported, and entirely correct. I believe, based on the Biblical ordo salutis (order of salvation, see post #151193), the blessing of eternal life must necessarily begin at regeneration (see post #204768). This is something that is subjective rather than objective; i.e., it is something that is done to the Christian, not done by the Christian. A good analogy is that babies do not birth themselves into life, rather conception, growth, and birth are things that babies do without volition. I think what happens with a lot of people is that they confuse scriptural statements of description with statements of prescription. This is an eisegetical method used to support many variations of synergistic soteriologies -- like the works based perspective in the post you addressed. Thank you for joining us in the forum. In Him, Doc |

Hi, G Preston... You wrote, "Remember the Bible says we will not be be confronted with more than we can handle." (sic) On what Scripture do you base this? Frankly, it trivializes Christian suffering in addition to being downright unbiblical. There are a great many things that God gives us that we cannot handle, indeed He promises tribulation and trials (John 16:33). Nonetheless, in our weakness God's grace and glory abound (2 Corinthians 12:9). In Him, Doc |

317 | speaking in tongues | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 234192 | ||
Hi, Goodguy... As Christians our emphasis is about truth. Not about feelings or experiences, not even the feelings or experiences that others purport to have. Study the Scriptures, asking the Lord to illumine your mind, in order to arrive at what is true. That is solid ground on which to stand. Much better than the shifting sands of feelings or experiences. In Him, Doc |

319 | Luke 5:8 use of "O Lord" | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 234336 | ||
Hi, Tom... The use of the interjection of "O" before the respectful acknowledgement of authority of the term of address "Lord" renders that phrase with even greater solemnity and earnestness than it would do so than if the word "Lord" were used alone. Although an equivalent word like "o" may not be in the original text, it is certainly appropriate to convey the proper sense. I can't think of a superior way to do it in English. Of course, nowadays, the use of the word "o" is so rare -- and would be particularly uncommon for anyone who didn't spend much time reading poetry or classical literature -- that it might not be rightly understood. The translator's job is not an easy one. In Him, Doc |
