601 | Using the "Roman's Road" to evangelize? | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 6815 | ||
Good question, jim. The 'Roman's Road' is a twentieth century phrase that is used to describe a few verses in the book of Romans that are frequently used to lead a person or group of people to Christ using the Bible. It is nothing more than that. People are saved by accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior and using Scripture as a basis to prove that sinful humanity needs Christ. I don't even use the "Roman's Road"! In fact, in my question I stated that I used a variant of it, jumping to different verses in Scripture to aid me in leading one to Christ using the Bible, instead of staying in the book of Romans. I was curious to see if anyone else had a 'way' or method of leading one to a knowledge of Christ by using the Scriptures. | ||||||

Good observaion, Lionstrong! I agree that we should 'tailor' the gospel message to the hearer without compromising the gospel message. Acts 8:26-40 comes to mind here, where Philip used a passage out of Isaiah to introduce the Ethiopian eunuch to Christ. | ||||||
603 | God will not erase names of Christians. | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 7607 | ||
Excellent post JVH! The NASB Study Bible (Zondervan) tells us that, "'book of life'. A divine ledger is first mentioned in Ex. 32:32-33 (see note on Psalm 69:28; cf. Dan. 12:1). It was a register of all citizens in the kingdom community. To have one's name erased from this book would indicate loss of citizenship (see Rev. 13:8; 17:8; 20:12,15; 21:27; Philippians 4:3)." Nelson's NKJV Study Bible comments, "The Book of Life is the list of the eternally redeemed (Rev. 20:12,15). To not blot out is a figure of speech, affirming a positive by negating its opposite. Thus it means "I will include their names." Blot out likely alludes to Exodus 32:32,33, where God says He will blot out sinners, but not faithful ones like Moses, from His Book. Christ will make sure the faithful believer's name and works are not erased, but remembered and honored." |

Steve, where exactly in Acts 17:11 are the Bereans 'correcting' Paul?? This is yet another off base, inane, assertion on your part. And I will go through every single one of your posts if I have to. This is an example of eisogesis, where one superimposes meaning into the text that is not there. This is how cults start. Please view any post by Steve Butler with caution. |

"Most of the time I was correct. Some received correction, others refused." Funny you should say this, Steve. |

The fact of the matter is: they did not find a difference! All of your questions have been answered by what I stated above. |

No Steve, I do not refuse to receive correction. I have been corrected many times on many subjects, and I have been corrected on this Forum! I have unswervingly demonstrated my fallibility many times over the course of my lifetime. Sometimes this came at great cost, other times it didn't. When I became more mature in the faith and knew what I believed, then I received correction much more quickly and with a kind spirit. I am here to learn more about the Bible. If I am wrong in my point of view and need correction, then I will take that into consideration and learn from it. I do not believe that some viewpoints of mine, such as "Paul was a leader" or "Paul's teaching of the Gospel was without error" or "buildings and inanimate objects do not suffer the consequences every time for the sin of a city" are 'sound' and do not need to be corrected in any way, Steve, and it would be ridiculous to spend any time trying to convince me of these things that I believe. I however, will accept correction if I am found in the wrong. I am not perfect, and the Forum (my postings) are a perfect example of that. I want to show you brotherhood in Christ, I really do. But I find it very difficult not to take issue with you when you cast speculation on some of the things that I 'assumed' that you also held so dear to you. This is why I react angrily towards you, Steve. If I was a beginning Christian, and if someone even mentioned that Paul's teachings may not be correct or faulty in some way, then I would strongly reconsider or doubt my faith! Do you really want to challenge things like this Steve? What is the point? Do you see where this could be disastrous for a fellow brother or sister in Christ? Steve, if I am wrong, then don't hesitate to tell me so, either on the Forum or through e-mail. But please reconsider before you attempt to question or cast doubt upon some of the 'truths' that we hold so dear to us, which helps to give strength and encouragement in our spiritual walks. |

Hank, That's perfectly fine! I've been known to do that at least once or twice.. You've written an excellent post! Nolan |

611 | Multiple authors for Paul's epistles? | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 9549 | ||
Greetings Hank! I agree with your 'Famous Theory #166'! The words that were written down were Paul's words and not those of someone else.. However, I was wondering if those of whom I mentioned actually helped Paul write his letters, since they are usually mentioned in the first verse or afterwards.. He could have just mentioned their names because of the fact that they were 'present' or there with Paul. I was wondering if anyone had delved a little deeper into this. I agree with this: "I've always pictured Paul as a man literally bubbling over with zeal for the Lord Jesus, his words fervently tripping off his tongue, gushing out with such rapidity that they fairly well bumped into each other, so eager was he to spread the word of the gospel of Christ to the world. I would imagine that he would have presented quite a challenge to a secretary to pace with his verbal outpouring." Excellent observation and thanks Hank! Nolan |

Hello Debbie! Would you mind quoting the commentary on a verse or two like 1 Cor. 1:1 or Philemon 1 out of your "Spirit Filled Life Bible" so that they can explain somewhat why they believe that all of these books were written with stenographers? I appreciate your response, Deb! All the resources that I have so far have not helped me here, but I will keep digging. Thanks again! Your Brother in Christ, Nolan |

613 | Revelation in the Gospels? | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 9760 | ||
Yes, Exactly!! JVH0212 and Hank: I'm crying right now.. :) There are some posts on this Forum that I am entirely reluctant to respond to, and the post that said, "Some unimportant historical details in the Bible are false, but the important stuff is true." Is a classic example!! :) Maybe the progenitor of that sentence should reconsider participating in the Study Bible Forum if they only believe parts of the Bible.. Blessings! Nolan |

Blessings Debbie! This remains an interesting question of mine.. I appreciate the information! Thank you, Debbie, and I agree with you when you say that sometimes we feel 'a little closer than even with our own family' as we share with each other in Christ! You will always be welcome to our fellowship! :) Nolan |

617 | What are our options? | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 9844 | ||
JVH0212 and Hank, Perhaps they all came out of the woodwork together, fashioned after the same mold.. It's a shame that the Study Bible Forum seemingly cannot exist without having someone question the inerrancy of the very Book that this Forum is based upon! I'm sorry to say it, but we must continually be on the lookout for posts written by people who cast doubts upon God's Holy Word. I guess that I am totally 'wrong' in assuming that everyone here on the Study Bible Forum would already have the idea in their conscious mind (an 'unwritten rule') that the Word of God is indeed inerrant!!

Greetings Jim! Thank you for the information. However, you stated that the Expositers Bible Commentary 'comes down pretty firmly' for Romans being authored by Paul exclusively. Does Expositers explain this in a little more detail? If Expositers states that Romans was written by Paul exclusively, then how do they explain Romans 16:22, which clearly states that Tertius wrote the letter? Thank you for the information, Jim. I agree with Expositer's assessment of Paul being the writer of Hebrews (I think it was Barnabas, but I could be wrong :) ). Blessings! Nolan |

Thank you Jim! This is some very good material here! Thank you for typing all of that to the Forum, just to answer my question. I sincerely appreciate it! I would agree with Expositors on their analysis of Tertius asking Paul's permission to include himself in the note.. :) That was especially of interest to me! Blessings, Nolan |

620 | "Mere Christianity" | NT general Archive 1 | Makarios | 10806 | ||
Excellent book, Hank! You've inspired me to dust it off and look at it again.. I've noticed that on Page 6 of the Preface, he says, "The reader should be warned that I offer no help to anyone who is hesitating between two Christian "denominations." You will not learn from me whether you ought to become an Anglican, a Methodist, a Presbyterian, or a Roman Catholic. This omission is intentional (even in the list I have just given the order is alphabetical). There is no mystery about my own position. I am a very ordinary layman of the Church of England, not especially "high," nor especially "low," nor especially anything else. But in this book I am not trying to convert anyone to my own position. Ever since I became a Christian I have thought that the best, perhaps the only, service I could do for my unbelieving neighbours was to explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times." C.S. Lewis - "Mere Christianity" a truly excellent book! |
