Hi, nae-nae... God reveals all the necessary truth regarding our faith and obedience -- for ourselves and others -- through the Word. "Once the Scriptures were written, and the prophetic and apostolic witness to Christ was complete, no need remained for private revelation of new truths, and [John] Owen did not believe that any were given. He opposed the 'enthusiasm' of those who, like the Quakers, put their trust in supposed revelations taken apart from, and going beyond, the Word. ...Owen calls the Quakers... 'fanatics', for their attitude. He is quick to deploy against them the old dilemma that if their 'private revelations' agree with Scripture, they are needless, and if they disagree, they are false." --J. I. Packer on John Owen In Him, Doc |

184 | Would Jesus follow this scripture? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 197124 | ||
Dear Song, The Lord Jesus Christ is a member of the Triune God as revealed in Scripture. He is the Word incarnate. Note that these words were spoken to Noah by God (v1). Therefore, the Son and the Spirit spoke them as well. Why limit God to the dictates of your fallen imagination (Genesis 6:5; Proverbs 6:18-19; Romans 1:21)? Indeed, if you can't imagine the truth, it is compounding the mistake by finding fault with truth itself! In Him, Doc |

Dear song, There is an unwritten convention on the forum to use the "Question" button only when addressing the forum as a whole. Follow-up questions and comments addressed to individuals should use the "Note" button. The individual you're speaking to will receive notification. This practice keeps the home page clear. Thank you! In Him, Doc |

186 | Did Bathsheba repent? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 197195 | ||
Hi, jcollier... Welcome to the forum! You're right, there is no explicit mention of Bathsheba's repentance. We can only speculate. However, it would be an error to assume that the people in the lineage of Christ were there because of some sort of merit. If merit were a necessary ingredient for Christ's ancestry, He would never have been born! In Him, Doc |

Hi, Chelsey... Welcome to the forum! The SBF is about Bible study proper. The world only contains two religions: One in which men seek to save themselves, and the other in which God seeks to save men. Christianity is the only religion in the second camp, all other religions are in the first camp. A comparison of religions would be beyond the scope of this forum. However if you use Google and search with the words Islam, Judaism, and comparison, I think you'll find a variety of discussions on the topic. In Him, Doc |

Hi, kgiddens... Welcome to the forum! That's a pretty broad question. It starts with Genesis 3:15 (what's called the "protoevangelium") through Malachi 4:6. Space is not sufficient to enumerate them all, even if any one of us had the exhaustive knowledge to do so. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Sarha... Welcome to the forum! Context is always a chief concern. We can't even communicate without context! We are only foolish to try to interpret anything independently of context. The next time someone quotes that particular aphorism by Shakespeare, remind him that the melancholy Dane was talking about Denmark. As Christians we don't live by the word of Shakespeare, we live by the word of God (Hebrews 1:1-2) -- the primary object of our forum. No matter how hard we imagine that 2 plus 2 is 5, it will remain just as truly 4. No matter how hard we imagine that 2 plus 2 is 4, it will remain just as truly 4. Truth is not effected by minds. Truth effects minds. Truth is not generated by minds. Truth is apprehended by minds. In spite of all the silliness being taught out there by the Peales, Schulers, Copelands, and Osteens of the world -- or those that claim some kind of superior experiential spiritualism -- the fundamental presupposition of Christianity is that truth is propositional. It flows out of the very nature of the whole of special revelation, arising verbally from our God (see post #195945). Furthermore, all of God's truth is rational. That doesn't mean that finite humans can (now or in the future) grasp all of God's truth -- He doesn't even share but a minuscule portion of truth with us (Deuteronomy 29:29). But we know that everything from God is and always will be rational, for that is an integral part of His nature. In Him, Doc |

Hi, genahines... Welcome to the forum! You might want to read the annotated statement by the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood here: http://www.cbmw.org/Danvers There's also a great article on Biblical roles here: http://www.cbmw.org/Resources/Articles/Embracing-God-s-Plan-for-Authority The Scripture is our ultimate guide; tradition serves our Scriptural understanding; logic also is a servant we fully utilize.

196 | Pronouns in NASB? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 197717 | ||
Hi, Bobby... Welcome to the forum! No, it doesn't mean that the translators changed the gender on a pronoun, nor does it mean they removed pronouns. It means they used a pronoun instead of a person's name or title only where it might sound better. For example, let's make up a sentence: "Bobby came to the forum and Bobby posted a question." What they are saying is that they might have taken a sentence like that and translated it as: "Bobby came to the forum and he posted a question." You see how the second "Bobby" was replaced by the pronoun "he?" Sometimes things translated directly, although correctly, sound awkward. By substituting a pronoun, the correct the original meaning is retained, while improving the sound to the modern ear. What they are saying is that they are maing certain that when they do this, they will be sure that the proper antecedent of the pronoun is obvious. By the way, this sort of license is not unique to the NASB. The KJV did the same thing. In a slightly different example: "And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him." (1 Kings 13:27 KJV) The last word "him" does not actually appear in the text. To the average English reader in the 15th and 16th centuries, the addition of the pronoun helped the verse's clarity. They weren't as persnickety about antecedents as we are today. Hence, the verse to our ears is distinctly humorous. In Him, Doc |

Merry Christmas to you as well, Cheri! As God has providentially dealt with this situation regarding Guatemalan adoptions, let us continue to pray for the children and those who adopt them. The more I understand the unique issues of orphanhood, the more I pray for them and those who minister to them. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Nettie... Welcome to the forum! That particular phrase doesn't exist in Scripture anywhere. It was actually coined, I believe, by Benjamin Franklin -- a man who was not a Christian. Actually, a more truer statement might be that "God helps those who CANNOT help themselves!" :-) In Him, Doc |
