481 | what are the duties of a church trustee | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 231276 | ||
Hi, Nick... Welcome to the forum! Church administration is an interesting subject, but it is pretty involved. A trustee -- as well as other positions of responsibility -- would be dictated by the denomination or, even, the specific congregation. Typically they represent the financially responsible individuals; that is, those who assume responsibility for all outstanding debt should the church doors close. At least, that is one of the major functions that come to mind. Often banks will not loan money to a church without trustees... think of them as cosigners for everything. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Acupunck... Welcome to the forum! No human is or can be responsible for the salvation of anyone, not even himself. Salvation is entirely an act of God.

Hi, Janet... Welcome to the forum! The attitude of a high view of Scripture is the key. This is what we mean by the doctrine of Sola Scriptura. This might help: http://homepage.mac.com/shanerosenthal/reformationink/aahsolascrp.htm In Him, Doc |

487 | is it okay to have sex before preachi | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 231472 | ||
Hi, Amutsama... Welcome to the forum! That's a rather odd question. If no man had sex sometime prior to preaching, I think there would be very little preaching. Suffice it to say that Scripture is silent on this subject. Of course, if you are talking about some kind of sexual activity on the man's part outside of marriage, that is entirely a different matter. Anyone practicing sin is outside the faith (1 John 5:18). Such a man is not fit for the pulpit, but should be under discipline (1 Corinthians 10:21). In Him, Doc |

Hi, Cas... Preston's perspective does represent orthodox Christian doctrine. Here is how my own confession of faith asserts the doctrine: "Although the price of redemption was not actually paid by Christ till after His incarnation, yet the virtue, efficacy, and benefit thereof were communicated to the elect in all ages, successively from the beginning of the World, in and by those promises, Types, and Sacrifices wherein He was revealed, and signified to be the Seed of the Woman, which should bruise the Serpent’s head; and the Lamb slain from the foundation of the World, being the same yesterday, and to-day and for ever. (1 Corinthians 4:10; Hebrews 4:2; 1 Peter 1:10, 11; Revelation 13:8; Hebrews 13:8)" --1689 LBCF (chapter 8, paragraph 6) Doctrine is defined as everything the Scripture has to say on a given topic. Think of orthographic projections in diagrams. One perspective gives you essential information, but you need all the perspectives to rightly interpret the nature of the object. Sound doctrine is always derived from the whole of Scripture. You might be interested in reading about the analogy of faith (http://www.theopedia.com/Analogy_of_faith). In Him, Doc |

494 | Can anyone explain Mat 24:15? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 232774 | ||
Dear eld, There are a whole lot of groups that claim to somehow merge all apocalyptic bible references into a cogent whole. Prophecy mongering is rampant in our society. In addition there are groups that, in the final analysis, simple defer to something as being of higher authority than Scripture. That leaves them open to a lot more error than just misinterpreting apocalyptic genres in the Word. That written, I do not believe that apocalyptic passages are capable of being fit into a cogent whole. Note, that this does not mean that no such interpretation exists, just that we are not in a position to do so. Nonetheless, that is often the nature of prophecy: It gives us hope today, and will bring glory to God when it has been accomplished. Matthew 24 is a particularly heavily studied passage for these many centuries of the Church Age. Along with all the rest of us here, I cannot claim to have read exhaustively everything written about it. However, nothing I have read has made me feel like the chapter was, in its entirety, dealt with successfully. Nonetheless, we can assert one thing with perfect confidence: Christ was answering the question of the Disciples as articulated in verse 3; a question that they asked after hearing our Lord's statement in verse 2. So always and ever keep that firmly in mind as you read the whole of His answer. Furthermore, our Lord was speaking prophetically of things to come from that specific time forward. I would deem that it would be unwise to make everything fit into the far future, just as it is unwise to fit it all into the past. Finally, Matthew is a gospel whose audience were Jews -- unlock the other synoptic gospels. Consequently, Matthew would necessarily lean heavily on Jewish thought and expression. Like the epistles, the gospels are always written by one person to other persons with whom he is familiar. With all that in mind, therefore, I would posit that verse 15 was an event that was future to the disciples, but historical to us. Certainly Christ was quoting Daniel, but Daniel's phraseology had been applied in various situations in Israel's history. Indeed, we even have the Jews describing just such an "abomination of desolation" in a Jewish deuterocanonical book: "Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and fifth year, they set up the abomination of desolation upon the altar, and builded idol altars throughout the cities of Juda on every side" (1 Maccabbees 1:54). Now, that may not be as exciting an answer as you might get from various folks who have a cherished eschatological presupposition to defend -- but I think it is nearer the mark, and does not violate a sound hermeneutic. As you move along in the chapter, a good answer is harder to find. Best thing to do with those, however, is to honestly listen to the various academic points of view, and be cautious owning any of their views. Too much is at stake in Biblical hermeneutics, and there are a lot more of Scripture that we can study and explain with confidence. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Mike... Look closely at the context of the quote, the context of the paragraph; who is being discussed? what is scriptural context? what was the issue Paul was addressing? I think you can work it out linguistically. We could dig deeply into the theology of the particular terminology -- I can help you with that if you want -- but I don't think that that would serve Fowler's intended purpose; i.e., how he meant to be understood.

Hi, Mike... There is an unwritten convention on the forum to use the "Question" button only when addressing the forum as a whole. Followup questions or comments addressed to individuals should be marked using the "Note" button. The individual you are communicating with will receive notification. This practice keeps the home page clear, save for question for the forum as a whole. Thank you! In Him, Doc |
