601 | the difference between soul and spirit | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 236831 | ||
Hi, William... Welcome to the forum! There are a number of views on this topic, given rise out of varying opinion as to the nature of man. Since there are Bible verses that use the words soul and spirit interchangeably (Matthew 10:28; Luke 1:46-47; Acts 2:31; 1 Corinthians 5:3; 6:20; 7:34; 2 Peter 2:11), perhaps it would best to consider the terms soul and spirit as synonymous. In Him, Doc |

Dear Werrush, Welcome to the forum! A true zeal for God is testable: there will be a greater love for God (1 John 4:16), a greater love for the brethren (1 John 4:20), a greater love for the word (1 John 2:5), a greater love for righteousness (1 John 2:5). A true zeal for God will never lead you into sin. In Him, Doc |

605 | what will happen to our soul after death | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 236869 | ||
Hi, 2508... Welcome to the forum! You asked, "what will happen to our soul after death" (sic). This is called the interim state. As to "location" we know that the Redeemed will be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:6-8). You asked, "where will our soul be until the rapture?" (sic). Perhaps one of the Dispensationalists who participate in the forum will eventually provide an answer in keeping with their eschatology. Meanwhile, the resurrection is described in Revelation 20. In Him, Doc |

607 | Where is what happens to my soul | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 236923 | ||
Dear Debbie, In theology the condition of the soul/spirit between physical death and resurrection is called the intermediate state. Herman Hoeksema gave a particularly detailed discussion of all of this in an excellent discussion here: http://www.prca.org/pamphlets/pamphlet_81.html As all good theology, it is based on the specific Bible passages that Hoeksema sites in the pamphlet. In Him, Doc |

Hi, jhmac77... If I understand things correctly, Lockman is the copyright holder of the Amplified Bible and Zondervan is the publisher. Consequently, I think you might contact Zondervan to see if they have sewn editions. They might also want to know about the trouble you have had with your Bibles. In Him, Doc |

612 | What does the Bible say about cremation? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 236977 | ||
Hi, Jimbob... Welcome to the forum! The Bible does not sanction one form of dealing with dead bodies over another. Thus, it neither proscribes nor advocates cremation as opposed to burial. However, given that cremation was most frequently associated with heathen cultures, and given that the most common means recorded in Scripture was burial, my tendency would be encourage the latter. Obviously, regardless of the disposition of the body, all people will live again in the resurrection (Revelation 21). A respectful treatment of the body -- in life and in death -- ought to be a guiding principle for believers. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Teresa... Welcome to the forum! Don't worry about "claiming" things. The Scripture never tells us to do that. That is a false teaching popular among televangelists and their like. Instead, express your dependency on the Lord in your prayers. Our prayers about who He is. Let me suggest a short book that will be helpful to you. It was written over 470 years ago. Since then it has been a blessing of instruction for believers all over the world: "A Simple Way to Pray" by Martin Luther (1535) http://garrettperks.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/ASimpleWaytoPrayView.pdf Luther explains how to pray using the Word itself.

619 | bring back the black robe regiment | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 237212 | ||
Hi, oldsargesplane... Welcome to the forum! I suspect what you are talking about is an expression that harkens back to a time when the pastors in American pulpits once wore black robes or vestments during services. Nowadays this may still be observed in "high church" congregations; i.e., Greek Orthodox, Lutheran, Episcopal, etc. Sometimes it is dependent on the practices of a particular congregation or even the choice of the pastor. In Europe the cap and robe we only see in graduation ceremonies was donned at graduation and worn continuously thereafter. It signified that the wearer was a man of learning. In the Reformation, Protestant churches generally dispensed with the traditional vestments common to the Roman Catholic priest. Nonetheless, a pastor would commonly attain a Doctorate of Divinity in the universities of the day. Thus, the robe and cap would be worn from then on – not just in the pulpit. As the traditions in the secular world changed, some of these practices remained in the churches. Consequently, you're hearing this phrase that remembers the practice from colonial days. Check Google images, for example, of men like “George Whitfield” and “John Wesley.” I think their dress was fairly typical of ministers of that day. I suspect that the people calling for a return to the “black robe regiment” are simply looking to a time when the church and culture were more tightly interrelated than we are accustomed to seeing in our highly secularized society.

620 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 237297 | ||
Dear FytRobert, A lot of principles in Scripture may seem to have a mathematical correlation, but I think that that is sometimes a bias our mind imposes on the language. Certainly causal connections exist, but I think that they are far more complicated than we are able to grasp. Furthermore, there is always a possibility that our logic will break down going from the general (what we see in Scripture) to the specific (what we see around us). If we don't have all of the variables in a circumstance, one of those missing variables might throw the whole thing into question. Consequently, we frequently see "innocent" and "righteous" people die at an early age; we see old reprobates passing the century mark; and we see a whole mixture of life spans with no rhyme or reason relative to the person's moral character. No man lives his life out in an isolated way. As we have pointed out frequently on the forum, God is fully in charge of every single molecule in the universe. However, we are not told on what basis He chooses to do things. The particulars are simply the secret/hidden things of God (Deuteronomy 29:29). We see this very clearly in Scripture when you think about how often the answer to "why" is given. The wisdom books, for example, never answer the why question. I think that there are several possible reasons for this: (1) we do not have nor were made with the mental capacity to understand the answer -- we are dealing with God things here, after all; (2) the answer is none of our business -- clear from the Deuteronomy 29:29 passage I cited above; and (3) we would reject the answer -- how often do people ask "Why oh why" but are not really wanting an answer. So drawing a clear causal connection between human obedience (which we know from the Word is growing worse everywhere) to human lifespans (which experientially is increasing in length), would be very difficult, if not impossible, to do. However, I would suggest that you think of shortened lifespans as an act of mercy by God. We shudder to think what would have happened had our ancestors eaten from the tree of life (Genesis 3:22-24). God was very merciful to draw human life to close. Furthermore, we know that the believers death is a desirable thing (Psalm 116:15). I can barely wait to be in His presence, entirely free of sin! I hope that some of the above was food for thought. In Him, Doc |
