301 | which 3 things did God ask of Jeremiah | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 207120 | ||
Hi, Chula... Welcome to the forum! This sure sounds like a homework problem. :-) We only answer homework problems if you are willing to divide your amongst the rest of us. Of course, if just one of us answers, and you get an A, then that would leave us each with a C. :-) Best thing to do would be to buckle down there and actually read Jeremiah. Besides, it will stick with you longer! In Him, Doc |

Hi, Admonit... Welcome to the forum! During my classes, the book I keep returning to is "How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth" by Gordon D. Fee and Douglas Stuart. In Him, Doc |

303 | ssymbolizalism of linen? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 207558 | ||
Hi, Mariel... Trying to see symbolism behind everything in Scripture is a faulty hermeneutic. That's a common mistake, forming the basis of quite a few errors in Scriptural interpretation. We don't want to impose on Scripture things that were never intended. Most frequently in Scripture linen is simply a kind of cloth. You might want to Google the phrase "Alexandrian School of Thought." In Him, Doc |

I agree... not only do they sound like homework questions... they also are being repeated. So if we answer, do we get the scholastic credit? |

308 | God Punished New Orleans with Katrina | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 209269 | ||
Hi, Myrtle... Welcome to the forum! I think that Christ answered such questions pretty clearly: There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." (Luke 13:1-5 ESV) In Him, Doc |

309 | Church membership...a requirement? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 209387 | ||
Dear Being, I can understand why people would be hesitant about really making a commitment to other believers and submitting to the authority of those who Christ placed over us. It takes time, energy, and effort. It isn't convenient or comfortable. It creates all kinds of obligations. Remaining uncommitted gives us the freedom to flit over to some other congregation if someone should offend us or pressure us in any way. After all, the Biblical pictures of being built together into a temple, knit together into a single body, joined together into a holy nation, and adopted into a the divine family are probably just old fashioned ideas promulgated by our grandparents. Furthermore, all those lost folk out there might think we were strange if we drew together into some sort of local, loving unity. Given enough time, certainly the Lord will provide us with just the right feelings about joining a church, so we needn't search the Scriptures on the subject. In Him, Doc PS The above is tongue-in-cheek... but I hope it helps you think more seriously about the question. "If the church is a building, then we must be bricks in it; if the church is a body, then we are its members; if the church is the household of faith, it presumes we are part of that household. Sheep are in a flock and branches are on a vine. Biblically, if one is a Christian, he must be a member of a church. Leaving aside the concrete particulars for a moment -- whether membership lists are kept on white cards or on computer disks -- we must not forsake our regular assembling (Hebrews 10:25). This membership is not simply the record of a statement we once made or of affection toward a familiar place. It must be a reflection of a living commitment or it is worthless, and worse than worthless, it is dangerous. Uninvolved members confuse both real members and non-Christians about what it means to be a Christian. And active members do the voluntarily inactive members no service when they allow them to remain members of the church, for membership is the church’s corporate endorsement of a person’s salvation. Again, this must be clearly understood: membership in a church is that church’s corporate testimony to the individual member’s salvation." --Dr. Mark Dever |

Dear bermudianchristian, Welcome to the forum! Your efforts to change your appearance are not really a problem in and of themselves. We all do that to one degree or another in our efforts to present the most "positive" image we can in the world -- a world that bases a lot of its judgment on appearances. Of course, if you are finding fault with your Creator for making you who and what you are, then that is a different problem entirely. God is sovereign, wise, and perfect in His love. Consequently, you aren't a accidental fluke, a mistake of poor planning, or the mischievous prank. You are the opposite of all those things! Also, don't worry about the prohibition to tattoo one's body. That is a matter of making permanent markings, a heathen practice. In Him, Doc PS I'm short, fat, and Jewish. Want to trade? :-) |

Sorry, Tim, I can't help you rescue that teaching of moral perfectionism. It is sort of like trying to rescue a faulty roof on a house when the walls and foundation aren't sound. See my many, many, many posts with Scriptures up one side and down the other. :-) Grandpa's books are just gathering dust. |

315 | What does fire symbolize | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 209664 | ||
Hi, pspowell2003... Welcome to the forum! You'll have to specify a passage where fire is actually used symbolically. When we rightly divide the word, we don't assume that every noun is a symbol. In Him, Doc |

Hi, cookboy... Welcome to the forum! "Prayer is an offering up of our desires unto God (Psalm 10:17; Psalm 62:8; Matthew 7:7-8), for things agreeable to His will (1 John 5:14), in the name of Christ (Psalm 32:5-6; Daniel 9:4-19; 1 John 1:9), with confession of our sins (Psalm 103:1-5; Psalm 136; Philippians 4:6), and thankful acknowledgment of His mercies (1 John 5:14)." --Westminster Shorter Catechism (question 98) In Him, Doc |

Dear jwg, Welcome to the forum! I don't think there is a clear connection between 1 Thessalonians 5:3 and Revelation 6:2. The illusion of safety and peace is a consequence of these people's parentage (cf John 12:36). In Him, Doc |

Hi, confused... Welcome to the forum! The following might be useful. http://www.bible-researcher.com/canon.html Remember, we would be naive to expect that all simple questions have simple answers. There are always answers, but sometimes they take a bit of education from which an answer can be intelligibly given. In Him, Doc |
