Casiv: You have not answered the question, which is: If anyone still believes that Jesus made this statement, the burden of proof is on them. You tell us. Give us the book, the chapter and the verse where Jesus says "Trust no man." My question was not: cite verses of Scripture to demonstrate that we are to trust no man. My question was: Give us the book, the chapter and the verse where *Jesus* [Himself] says "Trust no man." Your vagueness will confuse others. |

Tim: Thank you for your consistently good postings. I agree with you, especially with your sad, but true, observation: "Casiv doesn't know Greek, but pretends to!" Casiv conveniently ignores questions that he cannot or will not answer. My question for him is this: Casiv: Have you studied Greek for 2 or 3 years? With the exception of one word at a time, as in a list of words, have you EVER in your life made a formal translation of an entire passage from one language into another? Reading random selections from Strong's is NOT the equivalent of 2, 3 or more years of taking courses in the Greek language. Do you have any idea of all the concerns that must be taken into account during the process of translation? There is far more to it than translating one Greek word into an equivalent English word. There are many principles of translation to be observed. Even if one had made a formal study of the Greek language, that alone would not qualify any of us to do the work of a translator. |

544 | Dispensation of Time? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 19907 | ||
1Co 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Eph 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: Col 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; The King James Version |

casiv: You write: "I try not to say truth because we are warned against those who come saying they have the truth in Matt 24." I really don't understand what you are talking about. According to the online concordance (http://bible.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/), in the KJV the word "truth" does not appear anywhere in Matthew 24 -- not even once. It just isn't there. How then can you say: "I try not to say truth because we are warned against those who come saying they have the truth in Matt 24." |

547 | How can we tell figurative from literal? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 20166 | ||
Sir Pent: I, too, sincerely hope "that we are truly much closer to brothers than it would at first appear." You are 100 percent correct when you say to me: "I am relatively certain that you would not recommend that we base our Biblical beliefs on just what the large majority says." The majority is probably not always wrong -- just most of the time. :-) When the majority speaks, I am automatically suspicious and skeptical. One could site scores or hundreds of historical examples of the majority being wrong. What I always say is: Truth is not established by a majority vote, contrary to the "beliefs" of the liberals in this country. That goes for truth regarding history, science, politics, religion, morality, etc. Your primary question, "How can we tell figurative from literal?", has prompted much good and stimulating discussion. I'm sure I don't have the complete answer to your question. But you have started what I think has turned out to be a useful and beneficial discussion -- one that has made a lot of us think. Thanks to you for all your good participation in the forum. Grace to you. |

Since your original question has already been answered more than once; And since you say you are not trying to convince anyone of anything; Then why are you dragging out this thread? You've already been told that the Trinity doctrine has been discussed, dissected, digested, rejected, re-tested, accepted, used and abused on this forum. So I suggest to you: 1) Use the search function to look up previous posts on "Trinity." 2) Since your original question has been answered, if you still have some point you'd like to make, then please start a new thread. Note: Here on the Forum there is no need to re-animate a topic every other month and re-hash all that has already been said about it. |

mincc: You write: "My issue is with the Doctrine of the Trinity. Its the Doctrine of the Trinity that causes you to look at The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost as 3 indivisuals and not GOD." No, it doesn't. If you properly understood the doctrine of the Trinity, you would know that this is not at all what it is saying. But, it seems that you don't want to understand the doctrine. You just want to argue against it. For what purpose, I don't know. The subject has been argued to death on this forum -- months ago. |

You write: "he cmae as the Son of God because he had to be an example of what we had to be." No! No! No! No! No! He did not. He came to die on the cross as our substitute, to atone for our sins. He died for us so that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. He did NOT come to earth merely to set an example. Jesus prayed to himself? Are you sure? Is that your final answer? After reading your post (to which this is a reply) I can't help but wonder: Have you ever read the Bible? |

Whoa! Halt! Get back! I have been a member of the Assemblies of God most of my life. The Assemblies of God most certainly DO NOT believe in the doctrine of One God-One Person. We believe in the Trinity -- One God in Three Persons. |

Assemblies of God Statement of Fundamental Truths "a. Terms Defined The terms "Trinity" and "persons" as related to the Godhead, while not found in the Scriptures, are words in harmony with Scripture, whereby we may convey to others our immediate understanding of the doctrine of Christ respecting the Being of God, as distinguished from "gods many and lords many." We therefore may speak with propriety of the Lord our God who is One Lord, as a trinity or as one Being of three persons, and still be absolutely scriptural." (www.ag.org/top/beliefs/truths.cfm#2) |

After re-reading your posting, it's not clear to me whether you are saying the A of G does or does not believe in the Trinity. If I have misinterpreted what you've said here, then I do apologize. | ||||||

1 Peter 2:21 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, (NASB) mincc: Thank you for your reply and for the good Scripture quotation, with which I agree wholeheartedly, as I do with all Scripture. This verse (1 Peter 2:21) does indeed plainly say that Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example for us to follow in His steps. However, leaving us an example of suffering is not the same as leaving us an example of what we must live up to in order to be saved. We are saved and justified, not by following His example, but by believing (trusting, clinging to, adhering to, relying on) Christ for salvation. Thus, 1 Peter 2:21 doesn't cancel out or change the truth of my original posting, which is as follows. "He came to die on the cross as our substitute, to atone for our sins. He died for us so that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. He did NOT come to earth *merely* to set an example" (emphasis added to the word merely). If all He had done was to set an example and then ascend back into heaven, without first going to the cross to die, we would all still be in our sins. Thank you again for your interest and patience and for pointing out the verse in 1 Peter to us. |

555 | Who were the witnesses? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 21069 | ||
If one means to interpret Heb 9:27, as many honest and sincere folks do, to mean that every individual must die once and only once, this is easily refuted by our general knowledge of the Bible together with common sense. In his Study Bible, John MacArthur comments on Heb 9:27: "to die once. This is a general rule for all mankind. There have been very rare EXCEPTIONS (e.g., Lazarus and the multitude who were resuscitated at Christ's resurrection died twice; compare John 11; Matt 27). "Another exception will be those who don't die even once, but who will be 'caught up...to meet the Lord in the air' " ((emphasis added, 1 Thess 4:17) |

EdB: You write: "Isn't 'STAY AWAY from witchcraft' sufficient?" "I think this is a little different than murder witchcraft is witchcraft. God never said it didn't exist He said STAY AWAY from it." "The Bible clearly tells us to STAY AWAY from magic, witchcraft, divining spirits, sorcery." (Emphasis added.) Deuteronomy 18: 10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who *PRACTICES* witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 For all who *DO* these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. (Emphasis added. New King James Version.) Ed, my respected brother, it is not my purpose here to criticize you. Nor am I taking sides in your ongoing debate. I merely wish to point out that IN THE LAW it does not say "STAY AWAY FROM" magic, etc. What it clearly says in Deuteronomy 18 is that "all who *DO* these things are an abomination to the Lord." It also prohibits "one who *PRACTICES* witchcraft" (emphasis added). It may be that somewhere in the Bible it does use the words "stay away from" these things. However, I am not familiar with any such passage. Grace to you, Kalos |

Matthew 5: 33 "Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.' 34 But I say to you, do not swear at all: . . . 37 But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No.' For whatever is more than these is from the evil one."

Searcher: I agree with you 100 percent. Indeed "to each his own" can be dangerous if it misrepresents God or does not line up with Scripture. I sincerely thank you for pointing this out. Probably I should have phrased it like this: to each his own -- *up to a point*. Grace to you, kalos |

Steve, You may not know it, but actually I agree with much of what you write. I really meant it when I commended you on the fine research you've been doing. Keep up the good work. Your brother in the Lord, John |
