121 | All Don't Have The Same Ministry In Lord | 1 Cor 12:5 | stjohn | 219348 | ||
Thanks for the clarification, Peter. So if you believe what you say then why the big enfaces on tongues? And how, pray tell, can it be a gift, if you teach it? That seems very much to me that you would be taking it and picking it for yourself. What do you tell those who just don't learn it? Are they half-baked Christians if they don't get the gift? Did they learn it on the first Pentecost when it first came to be? Or did the Holy Spirit just give it to them? John |

122 | All Don't Have The Same Ministry In Lord | 1 Cor 12:5 | stjohn | 219346 | ||
Peter, can you show us please where in the scripture is says that varieties of ministries are, divisions? Can you be more specific in what you mean be these, divisions? And just out of curiosity, Peter, can you explain why you refer to yourself in the third person and what purpose it serves? Sorry, Peter, but it seems very odd, and it's quite confusing to those who read your profile. John |

Amen, brother Steve! Well said, sir! John |

124 | Gos Can Speak! | 1 Cor 12:3 | stjohn | 219295 | ||
CDBJ, Yes, and unfortunately I believe if Paul were to visit some congregations today, he'd sadly find the same thing. :-( I guess some are just going to continue to insist that they will remain ignorant babies, only interested in selfishly edifying themselves :-( John |

125 | Gos Can Speak! | 1 Cor 12:3 | stjohn | 219287 | ||
Dear teacher, All one would really have to do to discover that God speaks is, read the Bible. It's histories are copiously rife with the truth of God speaking. God speaks throughout the Bible. The Bible starts out with God speaking in Genesis 1:3 ("And God said")... And ends with Him speaking in Revelation 22:20, where Jesus Christ testifies of Himself: "Yes, I am coming quickly." Where, pray tell, does it say in the Scriptures that the Corinthians discovered that God can speak? Pardon me, sir, but the important thing the corinthians discovered was that they were so far out of orthodoxy that, Paul wrote them several chapters admonishing them for being too worldly, and for their idolatrous, drunken, incestuous, childish behaviors and dissension of many kinds. And that they should grow up, and be adults in their thinking. (1 Cor 13:11, 14:20) If you read First Corinthians in context -without putting all your eggs in the "spiritual gifts" basket- you might just see that there is much, much more to be learned here then, child's play.

Very gracious Colin. Thank you! By the way, crow ain't all that bad, I've had it many times in my short worthless life. John |

Colin, my friend, I'll eat my crow with relish, if you can show me your interpretation 'anywhere' in 'any' Bible! :-) John |

130 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | stjohn | 219237 | ||
It looks like you may be fishing now, Colin. And it still calls for Speculation that Scripture does not support. By the way, the King James is not 'alone' as you say, in stating they were convicted in their conscience. Young's Literal Translation, Webester's Bible, Hebrew Names Version, Third Millennium, World English, and, The Bible in Basic English. All have it pretty much the same as the two Strong's versions, and of course our host's Amplified version. That makes nine in all, and I don't have them all by any means. So the strong's versions are hardly alone, and none of the nine support your idea but do indeed state something else, nor can we find this Speculative conclusion in any of the others. If it is there, then show us in the Scriptures please? What is your view of Sola Scriptura? |

131 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | stjohn | 219233 | ||
Colin, you may have seen Bradk's post by now but, you may want to check the NASB (amplified) which is translated, published, and of course, endorsed by the way, by our gracious host, The Lockman Foundation. John |

132 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | stjohn | 219231 | ||
Brad, that sounds like a good plan! Sola Scriptura! :-) Oh, by the way, (sola Scriptura) isn't that one of the rules around here? John |

133 | Is NASB better than other translations? | 2 Tim 2:15 | stjohn | 219229 | ||
Azure, I enjoy idioms, so I keep an extra eye out for them. Oh my, but keeping an eye out would be very painful! And who has an extra eye, and what would we do with it except keep it out? We don't have an extra eye-socket to put one, even if we had one! :-) John |

134 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | stjohn | 219228 | ||
Colin, this is from the KJV: "And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst." John 8:9 Note: they were, "convicted of their own conscience." I think I'd go with what the Scriptures say and not speculate on it. Even if it is just an old unreliable version like the KJV. Just kidding! :-) John |

135 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | stjohn | 219224 | ||
Colin, might I add that later in this very chapter those same Pharisees picked up stones to stone Jesus. They sure didn't seem to be giving Roman Law much consideration at that point. In fact they felt quite justified in stoning Him for what they believed to be blasphemy, in calling Himself, "I am" thereby placing Himself on a par with, and the same as God. It would appear that (according to Scripture) Roman Law was not foremost on their mind just a little later that same day. So how could we assume that it was the case earlier that day without some speculation? John |
||||||
136 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | stjohn | 219223 | ||
Colin, I don't think anyone is arguing that they were defeated and that part of the reason was that they were held to Roman and Mosaic Law. But, were it not for their being brilliantly stymied by having Jesus point out their 'conviction of sin', they would not have had their plan to trap Him thwarted. Their defeat, then, came through conviction i.e. their defeat hinged on their conviction. This could get monotonous, couldn't it? John |
||||||
137 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | stjohn | 219217 | ||
Hi Brad, Might we say... convicted of their sin and thus defeated? But that still would be adding to Scripture and a bit speculative wouldn't it? John |

138 | ... | Titus 3:9 | stjohn | 219206 | ||
Dear seadirt, "Both" faith in Christ AND keeping the law, save a person?! No, no no, a thousand times no! No one can be saved by keeping the law! Romans 3:20 and Gal 2:16 are emphatically clear! "because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin." (Romans 3:20) "nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified." (Galatians 2:16) John |

139 | What is the Gift of God in Ephes, 2:8,9 | 1 Cor 12:9 | stjohn | 219205 | ||
Excellent point, CDBJ, and I'd have to agree with you on that. So, nix the Scripture reference, but I still think the gift of God spoken of here in Ephes 2:8-9 is faith and I suppose grace would be considered a gift as well sense it's something we get that is unmerited. That would be a gift too, by definition. What's your take on it, Brother? John |
||||||
140 | "him" refers to which one? | Mark 9:42 | stjohn | 219189 | ||
Brad, Excellent cross reference! That pretty much says it in a nutshell. :-) I should have just gone just a little deeper in His Word, before I started rambling :-) Good one, thanks! John |
