321 | Am I going to Hell for attending UMC | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 234357 | ||
Hi, Preston... Don't tell the Apostle Paul that one... He'd have to eliminate 2 Corinthians 13:5. It would also do violence to Matthew 7:16. By the way, where do you come up with all this? In Him, Doc |

Dear Preston, They certainly do. You asserted that "Only G-d knows who will receive eternal salvation." (sic) That statement -- never once articulated in Scripture -- does, however, contractdict a number of scriptures, not the least of which were the two that I cited for you. Sorry, but, your much vaunted "common sense" doesn't stand as prevelent or logical. So, as I asked before, where are you coming up with this stuff? Do you crank this stuff up on your own, or are you presenting some group's opinion? In Him, Doc |

Dear DP, We're a Bible Study Forum. The Terms of Use (TOU), which you have promised to abide by in posting, are pretty clear. If we were a DP Martin Opinion Study Forum, we would be here interested in your opinions simply because you posted them. However, the TOU are pretty clear about posts needing to be substantiated by Scripture. Doing that will not only actually honor the promise you've made to Lockman when participating, but it will also show a modicum of respect for your fellow participants. An inability to abide by your own promises, and a demonstrated inclination to contravene the purposes of our gracious host, along with an unwillingness to be forthcoming, fails to demonstrate integrity and sagacity. Perhaps it would achieve your goals in spreading your opinions to start your own forum, with a TOU consistent with whatever purposes you seek to accomplish. We would be delighted, on the other hand, if you could demonstrate the discipline to focus on the Scriptures to the glory of our Lord, and the edification of His flock. In Him, Doc |

324 | verse about devil's insignificance | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 234732 | ||
Hi, Brian... Perhaps this is what you are looking for: "Those who see you will gaze at you, They will ponder over you, saying, 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms, Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew its cities, Who did not allow his prisoners to go home?'" (Isaiah 14:16-17) In Him, Doc |

325 | verse about devil's insignificance | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 234735 | ||
Dear Brian, What happens for me, sometimes, is that I remember the impression from a sermon more vividly than the passage itself. In this particular case, the word that the NASB translates as "stare" and the ESV translates as "gaze" probably don't quite carry the connotation of what Isaiah had written. I remember an expositor who once said that the word might be translated "squint" or "looking askance." Thus, "THAT was what everyone was so worried about???" As a disclaimer I have to point out that the passage, in context, may also be interpreted as a reference to "the body of the king of Babylon cast out." On the other hand, Isaiah has a distinction of making multiple connection in a simultaneous fashion. I would not -- for whatever that is worth -- be uncomfortable, therefore, with an interpretation that makes this a connection to the adversary; i.e., Satan. In Him, Doc |

333 | what is your soul | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 235481 | ||
Hi, Escar... That would not be a common interpretation of that passage in 1 Corinthians 15. After all, Paul is talking about the resurrection in that context. Human existence between death and resurrection is an abnormal condition, called by theologians the interim state. Man was created to be a living, physical human being, functioning in time and space. All man will be be so in eternity, whether the elect or reprobate; although the elect will be living upon the new earth. Relative to 1 Corinthians 5:8, Paul uses an idiomatic phrase "in the body" to mean "while living;" i.e., our life now before we die. In Him, Doc |

334 | Does God Need us like we need Him? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 235516 | ||
Hi, sonofmom... The problem with expressing things that way is it implies that God's love is an incomplete attribute fulfilled only when His creatures respond to it. In reality, God is eternally, utterly, unchangeably, complete and perfect in Himself. God is not dependent on His creation for anything (Acts 17:25). Love is an expression of relationship. Love's epitomized in how the three Persons of the Triune God relate to one another. That relationship existed eternally before creation, lacking nothing. Then the expression of that love was made manifest to man before the foundations of the world (Romans 5:8; Ephesians 1:4). This intimacy of fore knowing is made manifest to us now and forever (1 Peter 1:20-21; Ephesian 1:4) for God's glory (John 1:14). In other words, His attributes are put on display; something entirely by His own work, rather than cinched into place by some human activity. In Him, Doc |

336 | three dispensations of time or ages | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 235571 | ||
Dear escar, I think you will just have to accept that what I am telling you about the diverse opinions are factual. You could spend some time reading or listening to lectures if you don't believe me. What I have said are matters of public record. Let the scholars speak for themselves. Meanwhile, here are some learned folks that believe in a long creation day: http://www.reasons.org/ And here are some other learned fellows that do not: http://www.icr.org/ We have, I believe, already corrected you on the abuse of 2 Peter 3:8. You have to learn to read the Scriptures in context, rather than string together a bunch of unrelated passages. Otherwise, you will end up with all manner of odd ball conclusions. Words have meaning, but they also have context. I don't know how to explain things in a simpler manner for you. In Him, Doc |

338 | the word "world" and "all" refer to all | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 235629 | ||
Hi, hupogramos... The word "all" does not appear in this verse. Therefore, a measure of extent between it and "world" is not possible. In Him, Doc |

339 | the word "world" and "all" refer to all | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 235640 | ||
Dear hupogramos, Based on your original question, I think that you are trying to use John 3:16 in a way that would wrest it out of it a doctrine that it is not directly addressing. We must always interpret scripture in the context in which it is given. (See post #156918.) Look again at the passage, paying attention to whom Christ is speaking. Our Lord divides humanity into two broad categories (vv10-21). What characterizes these two groups of people? What is revealed about God's purpose in general, and Christ's role in particular? How do things fit into John's introduction to his Gospel in chapter 1, and his summation at the end of the chapter in question? When you have that firmly in mind, you ought to be able to determine something about the object of God's love in John 3:16. It might also be worth noting that the Apostle John uses the word "world" in his Gospel well over fifty times. Just like we do in English, he doesn't always use it in the same way. However, checking its use in the broader context of the passage in question should help you ferret out a good answer. When you have expended the effort to do this, you will have something more valuable than you would if I simply gave you my own thoughts. You will have something closer to God's own thoughts. In Him, Doc |

340 | what is antinomianism ? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 235842 | ||
Hi, fmp... You wrote, "Defination: derogatory term" (sic) Antinomianism, legalism, and neonomianism are technical terms given rise in church history as these issues have been wrestled with since the earliest days of the church. Our Lord Himself answers charges of antinomianism in a number of places in the Gospels. The Apostles also address it as it manifests itself in various ways in the primitive church. Later it is extensively deliberated by the early church fathers, and by divines and scholars on up through the Reformation, and even in our day. Rarely do the proponents of a view adopt the term. I have heard few people call themselves antinomianists and fewer still who, on the other hand, will call themselves legalists. Nevertheless, such things are taught or practiced. If not, they ideas wouldn't have been discussed. As one of my pastors used to say, every road has two ditches -- one on the left and the other on the right. In our care to avoid one, we may forget the other. We respect people, not ideas. To properly label the ditches does not criticize peopple or demonstrate a lack of respect for people. Labels -- an invention of God, by the way -- are invaluable to communication. In Him, Doc |
