861 | ALERT! WARNING! Beware of Paolo Marra! | Phil 3:2 | kalos | 160324 | ||
ALERT! WARNING! Beware the postings of [ab]user Paolo Marra. In one of his posts he gives a web address to go to for more info on his teaching. In order to check out what he teaches and whether it is scriptural, I cut and pasted the web address in my Internet title bar. When I clicked on Go, a window came up with a message that reads in part as follows: "Do you want to install and run "NETVISION: Using this software, your modem will dial a premium rate number which has a rate of 2 euro/min from the moment the connection is established until the connection is over.

No hyper-individualistic understanding As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. (NASB) 1 John 2:27 Many hold to the strange notion that: The best way to interpret the Bible is to read the text and whatever comes to mind first must automatically be the right interpretation. '"You have no need for anyone to teach you." Both "you's" are plural and refer to the believing community as a whole; there is no ground here for a hyper-individualistic understanding of the Gospel wherein the views of other believers and the gathering of believers together are considered unimportant' (Jewish New Testament Commentary, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1992). Translation: If you think that YOU (singular) "need not that ANY Man TEACH you", then you are very much mistaken. As for your remark about spiritual warfare: NASB Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Translation: DocTrinsograce is not your enemy. |

864 | What does "itching ears" mean? | 2 Tim 4:3 | kalos | 160208 | ||
For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold, 2 Timothy 4:3 AMPLIFIED It is truly amazing how much light the Scriptures shed on the commentaries. |

865 | What is dispensationalism? | 2 Tim 2:15 | kalos | 160057 | ||
What is dispensationalism? (Repost) (The following Question was asked by a member of the congregation at Grace Community Church in Panorama City, California, and Answered by their pastor, John MacArthur Jr.) 'Question 'What is dispensationalism? And what is your position, from Scripture, on the subject? 'Answer 'I will try to condense this because I don't want to get too bogged down. Dispensationalism is a system. It is a system that got, sort of, out of control. I think it started out with a right understanding. The earliest and most foundational and helpful comprehension of dispensationalism was: '"That the Bible taught a unique place for Israel and that the Church could not fulfill God's promises to Israel, therefore, there is a still a future and a kingdom involving the salvation and the restoration and the reign of the nation Israel (historical Jews)." 'Dispensationalism at that level, (if we just take that much of it, and that's all I want to take of it, that's where I am on that), dispensationalism became the term for something that grew out of that and got carried away because it got more, and more, and more compounded. Not only was there a distinction between the Church and Israel, but there was a distinction between the new covenant for the Church, and the new covenant for Israel. And then there could become a distinction between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven; and there could become a distinction in the teaching of Jesus, between what He said for this age and what He said for the Millennial Age; and they started to even go beyond that; and then there were some books in the New Testament for the Church and some books in the New Testament for the Jews, and it just kept going and going and going until it became this very confounded kind of system... 'I really believe that they got carried away and started imposing on Scripture things that aren't in Scripture. For example, traditionally, dispensationalism says, "The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) has nothing to do with us, so we don't need to worry about it." When I went through the Sermon on the Mount in writing my commentary, as well, I pointed out how foolish that is.' (...) There Is A Real Future For Israel 'If you take a literal approach to Scripture, then you cannot conclude anything other than that God has a future for Israel. What that means is that the Church is distinct from Israel, and when God is through with the Church, and takes the church to glory then He brings that time of Jacob's distress, that we read about earlier, purges, redeems Israel, and the kingdom comes. 'I don't want to say any more than that about dispensationalism. I don't believe there are two different kinds of salvation. I don't believe there are two different covenants. I don't believe there is a difference between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven. I don't believe the Sermon on the Mount is for some future age. I don't believe that you can hack up New Testament books--some for the Jews and some for the Church. I think that the only thing the Bible really holds up in that kind of system is that there is a future for Israel, and that's an exegetical issue. 'It is probably more than you wanted to know, but it is very, very important, because it preserves the literal interpretation of Scripture. Listen folks, once you're not literal, then who's to say? Right? I mean, then why not just say, "Well, Israel really means 'left-handed Texans'--if it's not exegetical--if it's not in the text, it could mean 'Canadians'" How can you say, if you can't say what's literally there?' ____________________ To read more go to: www.biblebb.com/files/macqa/70-16-9.htm |

868 | Was Judas Iscariot a believer? | Matt 5:13 | kalos | 159878 | ||
In a previous post (ID# 30239)someone wrote: 'The question has been debated, "Did Judas go to hell?" It seems to me the question could have been better resolved had it been considered from the perspective of whether Judas lost his salvation or whether he [n]ever had it to begin with. The weight of evidence in the New Testament points to the latter conclusion. Judas never "backslid" because he never "slid forward" -- he never was a truly regenerate disciple of Jesus Christ.' But I say unto you: Judas was definitely saved. Following are the Scripture passages that prove it beyond a doubt. NASB Luke 22:3 And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve. NASB John 13:2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, [the son] of Simon, to betray Him, KJV John 6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? NASB John 13:26-27 So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, [the son] of Simon Iscariot. After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. AMPLIFIED John 13:26-27 So when He had dipped the morsel of bread [into the dish], He gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son. Then after [he had taken] the bit of food, Satan entered into and took possession of [Judas]. KJV John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition [Judas Iscariot -- the one who is now doomed to destruction, destined to be lost (AMPLIFIED)]; that the scripture might be fulfilled. KJV Acts 1:25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. If you will carefully read the entire book of 1 John, you will see that all of the above verses about Judas show that he possessed every evidence of geniune saving faith. NOT! --Kalos |

Was Charles Russell Founder of JWs? Was Charles Russell The Founder of The Jehovah's Witnesses? 'Charles Taze Russell 'Watchtower founder, Charles Taze Russell once sued a Baptist pastor, Rev. J.J. Ross for libel after the minister published a tract entitled, Some facts about the Self-Styled "Pastor" Russell (Kingdom of the Cults, pp. 42-44).' (www.watchman.org/jw/jwcourt.htm) 'In his six volumes, Studies in the Scriptures, Charles Taze Russell (founder of the Jehovah’s Witnesses) made many predictions that were tied to specific dates (e.g., 1878, 1910, 1915).' (www.apologeticspress.org/articles/280) _____ 'We along with the many Christian counter-cult ministries believed that Charles Taze Russell was the founder of the Jehovah's Witnesses. This is entirely based on the many major teachings of Russell that are being held by the whole Watchtower organization. Kindly read the following statement written in their book Jehovah's Witnesses Proclaimers of God's Kingdom, p. 42, in presenting a whole chapter on the history of their founder C.T. Russell, '"This history is of special interest to Jehovah's Witnesses. Why? Because their present understanding of Bible truths and their activities can be traced back to the 1870's and the work of C.T. Russell and his associates, and from there to the Bible and early Christianity." 'In spite of the fact that this is a bone of contention between the cults, International Bible Students' Association and the Jehovah's Witnesses, we leave the burden of proof to the former in disproving this historical fact. God bless you!'

Where in Acts 6:1-7 do you actually see the word "vote"? I looked for it and did not find it. All it says is that "They chose Stephen... (verse 5)". It does not tell us HOW they chose Stephen. It does not say that they voted. | ||||||

Is Jesus Michael the Archangel? 'Jesus is not Michael the Archangel. The Bible nowhere identifies Jesus as Michael (or any other angel for that matter). Hebrews 1:5-8 draws a clear distinction between Jesus and the angels, “For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father"? Or again, "I will be His Father, and He will be my Son"? And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says, "Let all God's angels worship Him." In speaking of the angels He says, "He makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire." But about the Son He says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.” 'Angels worship Jesus. The angels are called sons of God (Genesis 6:2-4; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7), but Jesus is THE Son of God (Hebrews 1:8; Matthew 4:3-6). 'Michael the Archangel is perhaps the highest of all the angels. Michael is the only angel in the Bible who is designated “the Archangel” (Jude 9). Michael the Archangel, though, is only an angel. He is not God. 'The clear distinction in the power and authority of Michael and Jesus can be seen in comparing Matthew 4:10 and Jude 9. In Matthew 4:10, Jesus rebukes Satan. In Jude 9, Michael the Archangel calls on the Lord to rebuke Satan. Jesus is God incarnate (John 1:1,14). Michael the Archangel is a powerful angel, but still only an angel.' ____________________ www.gotquestions.org/ Jesus-Michael-Archangel.html |

875 | Who is Satan? | Job 1:6 | kalos | 159759 | ||
Who is Satan? 'People's beliefs of Satan range from the silly to the abstract: a little red guy with horns who sits on your shoulder urging you to sin; an expression used to describe the personification of evil. The Bible, however, gives us a clear portrayal of who Satan is, and how he affects our lives. Put simply, the Bible defines Satan as an angelic being who fell from his position in heaven due to sin and is now diametrically opposed to God, doing all in his power to thwart God's purposes for humanity. 'Satan was created an angel. Ezekiel 28:12-14 describes Satan as having been created a cherubim, and was apparently the highest created angel. He became arrogant in his beauty and status, and decided he wanted to sit on a throne above that of God (Isaiah 14:13-14; Ezekiel 28:15; 1 Timothy 3:6). God then threw him out of heaven. 'Satan became the ruler of this world that functions apart from God, and the prince of the power of the air (John 12:31; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2). He is an accuser (Revelation 12:10), a tempter (Matthew 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 3:5), and a deceiver (Genesis 3; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 20:3). His very name means adversary or opposer. Another name used for Satan "devil" means slanderer. 'Even though he was cast out of heaven, he still seeks to elevate his throne above God. He counterfeits all that God does, hoping to gain the worship of the world and foment opposition to God's kingdom.' Related Topics: How, why, and when did Satan fall from heaven? What is Satanism?

876 | Who is Satan? | Job 1:6 | kalos | 159757 | ||
Satan 'The Hebrew word satan [f'f] means "an adversary, one who resists." It is translated as "Satan" eighteen times in the Old Testament, fourteen of those occurrences being in Job 1-2, the others in 1 Chronicles 21:1 and Zechariah 3:1-2. There is some dispute as to whether it should be taken as a proper name or a title. In Job and Zechariah the definite article precedes the noun (lit., "the satan" or "the accuser"). Thus some argue it should be a title, while in 1 Chronicles (no article) it should be a proper name. (...) '"Satan" occurs thirty-six times in the New Testament, eighteen of that number in the Gospels and Acts. The Greek term satanas [Satana'"] is a loan word from the Hebrew Old Testament, and twenty-eight of the total occurrences are accompanied by the definite article. Often in the Gospel accounts Jesus is in contact with Satan directly or indirectly. He was tempted by Satan (Mark 1:13). In the famous "Beelzebub controversy" Jesus made clear his intention to drive Satan out of people's lives and to destroy his sovereignty (Matt 12:26; Mark 3:23, 26; Luke 11:18). He liberated a woman "whom Satan (had) kept bound for eighteen long years" (Luke 13:16). Paul spoke of his being sent to turn people "from the power of Satan to God" (Acts 26:18), and that the works of the "lawless one (were) in accordance with the work of Satan, " in doing sham miracles, signs, and wonders (2 Thess 2:9). Christ will come, he wrote, to overthrow that agent of Satan.' ____________________ TO READ MORE GO TO: http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/ BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi |

But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you." Jude 1:9 (ESV) AMPLIFIED Jude 1:9 But when [even] the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, judicially argued (disputed) about the body of Moses, he dared not [presume to] bring an abusive condemnation against him, but [simply] said, The Lord rebuke you! [Zech. 3:2.] 'Nowhere does Scripture state that believers have authority over Satan himself. Those biblical passages that do speak of believers’ authority over the demonic realm apply strictly to driving demons out of lost human beings (Matt. 10:1; Mark 6:7; Luke 10:19; Acts 8:7). They are never applied to pastoral counseling or the believer’s personal battle with the devil. 'This does not mean Christians must accept defeat in spiritual warfare. Scripture clearly teaches that Jesus has won the victory over the devil and all authority has been given to Him (Matt. 28:18; Eph. 1:20-22; Col. 2:15; 1 Pet. 3:22; etc.). While believers do not have the prerogative to say, "I command you, Satan (to do this or not do that)," Jesus does.' ____________________ www.equip.org/search/ STATEMENT DA082 The Bondage Maker: Examining the Message and Method of Neil T.
