2982 | Wise Debate? | Bible general Archive 1 | kalos | 3168 | ||
Several have suggested that Lockman ought to monitor this Forum. Let's take it a step further. I am posing a question in all sincerity and humilty. It's not a trick question. Nor is it meant to embarass anyone. It would be helpful to get as many replies to this question as possible. . . . Here's the question: If you are in favor of this Forum being monitored, then what guidelines would you provide for the monitor? I.e., what specific elements of a posting would you consider inappropriate and fit only to be omitted or deleted from the site? If we're talking censorship here, what kinds of replies would you censor? What would you be looking for? In short, what would be the specific duties of the monitor and what would be the guidelines for fulfilling those duties? . . . Should user questions, answers and notes be weeded out on the basis of bad doctrine, bad grammar, bad spelling, bad attitude, wrong motives, or what? . . . Also, I see a problem with appointing someone to judge all the replies and then give the one "right" answer. 1) This would probably tend to add fuel to the fire of debate, rather than settle the issue. 2)Also, I feel that many an individual would be hesitant to post or to be candid in what he writes, if he had a lingering mental image of a guy with a big pencil just waiting to pronounce judgment on whatever the individual writes. I feel such an approach by the monitor would greatly inhibit many from saying what's on their mind or from posting anything at all. |

2983 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | kalos | 3138 | ||
Acts 1:25 (ASV 1901) "to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place." "1:25 *his own place." Judas chose his own fate of hell by rejecting Christ. It is not unfair to say that Judas and all others who go to hell belong there (compare John 6:70)" (Ryrie Study Bible, Word, 1997). |

2985 | Mary Magdeline, facts on lifestyle | Luke 8:2 | kalos | 3136 | ||
Luke 8:2 NASB "and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out." I don't know where people, including writers of Easter programs and musicals, get the idea that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. Wherever they got it, it sure wasn't from the Bible, which gives no indication that Mary M. had ever been a prostitute. All the Bible does tell us of her background is that she is the one "from whom seven demons had gone out." "8:2. *Mary who was called Magdalene.* Her hometown was Magdala. She is not to be confused with the sinful woman of Luke 7 or Mary of Bethany (John 11:1)" (Zondervan NASB Study Bible, Zondervan, 1999). |

2986 | Why are angels offended? | 1 Cor 11:5 | kalos | 3118 | ||
You and I both know that nowhere in Scripture does it say, "that the angels are offended and what the repurcusions of that are." You have every right to put your own opinion above Ryrie's explanation, though he arrived at his through years and years of carefully studying the Scriptures in the original languages. Neither Ryrie, nor you nor I claim infallibility for ourselves. . . . But I would ask, "If you do not accept his explanation of what is meant by 'because of the angels', then I would be happy to hear your explanation of this phrase, if you have one. If not, why dismiss an explanation that contradicts no known verse of Scripture?" . . . Along with you, I too "believe in intrepreting the passages that seem 'more obscure' based upon passages that are clearer." This is a valid principle of interpretation, but not the only principle of interpretation to consider. . . . I also believe in interpreting difficult NT passages based on the meaning of the Greek words used in the Greek text. Another important principle of interpretation is to compare the verse in question with what THE ENTIRE BIBLE teaches on that same subject. To assert that there is but ONE principle of interpretation and to imply that if an interpretation doesn't adhere to your one principle, therefore it must not be valid, is not very good logic. . . . Another thing I don't understand: You write: "I do not claim to have all truth or revelation. There is much about the Bible that I do not know" and "I don't have a firm grasp as to the meaning". After saying all that, how can one then dismiss without disproving the explanation of another. |

2987 | # of "I am " occurrences in New Testamen | NT general Archive 1 | kalos | 3093 | ||
To find the answer to your question, first go to: http://bible.crosswalk.com/ . . . There you will find an online concordance. Under "Search for" enter the words "I am". You will then need to check and count the results of the search to determine the answer to your question. Yours is a good question, one which I, too, would like to know the answer. |

2988 | Did James (author) know as much as Paul? | James | kalos | 3012 | ||
Did the author of Job know as much as Moses? To answer in the negative is not to imply that the writings of Moses are somehow more inspired, hence more correct, than were the writings of the author of Job. Who had greater knowledge of spiritual truth is not the issue here. The issue is that both Romans and James were equally inspired. | ||||||
2989 | marriages begun in adultery blessed??? | Matt 12:31 | kalos | 3002 | ||
What does the Bible have to say about this? . . . God forgives. Let him. There is only one unforgivable sin and it is neither divorce nor suicide. . . . It would serve no purpose to dissolve the subsequent marriage. Whoever did that would be adding sin upon sin. . . . On the other hand, Grace is not a license to sin (Rom 6:1 and following), as Paul and so many others have been falsely accused of teaching. . . . Yet, though God does forgive, it is also true that one reaps what one sows. If anyone sows discord in their own family, they will inherit the wind. . . . King David, for example, was forgiven the sin of adultery, but look at the terrible price he paid. "Why does it seem that the faithful wife has been left alone while the ex husband seemingly has a new wife new child new home and doing quite well?" I suppose the answer to that one would have something to do with man's freewill, which is much touted on this Forum. |

2990 | does bible teach eternal security? | Phil 1:6 | kalos | 3000 | ||
It seems to depend on whom you ask. In reality, of course, it depends on the teaching of the Bible, all relevant Scriptures on this subject when considered together. Please use the search function to search for answers to your question. There is an abundance of material on this subject previously posted to this site. Good luck in sorting out truth from error. | ||||||
2991 | What does "world" mean? | John 17:11 | kalos | 2978 | ||
There are three Greek words translated "world" in the KJV. They are words that mean: 1) the age; 2) the world system of things; and 3) the planet earth. I will leave it to HeirofGod to answer the rest of your question. --JVH0212 | ||||||
2992 | Do Jewish people have to be born again? | Rom 10:12 | kalos | 2970 | ||
1) "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:" Rom 10:12 ASV (1901) . . . 2) To whom was Jesus speaking when he said "Ye must be born again" (John 3:7)? Was it not to Nicodemus, a Jew himself and "a ruler of the Jews"? . . . 3) Yes, Israel was God's chosen nation. But chosen for what? "chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God" (Rom 3:2). Israel was the chosen nation through whom God gave to the world the written Word, the Law and the Prophets, and also the Living Word, His Anointed, the Messiah (Hebrew), the Christ (Greek). . . . To say that the Jewish nation was chosen for salvation is to err. As we know, salvation is open to people of every tribe and tongue and nation. It is open to "whosoever will." . . . Even if the Jewish nation were chosen to salvation, every individual Jewish person would still have to believe that Jesus was the Messiah before he could be saved or born again. To assume that the elect don't even have to trust Christ for salvation is beyond error, it's totally illogical and contradicts every passage of Scripture on the subject of salvation. |

2993 | Why is "is" in 2 Tim 3:16 in | 2 Tim 3:16 | kalos | 2958 | ||
Yours is a very sharp observation. And while your observation is indeed accurate (I checked it out for myself), I hardly think that italics or lack of same for the word *is* affects the meaning of the verse one way or the other. . . . What happened and why? Ask the Lockman Foundation. They produced the Amplified Bible. |

2994 | Are we all descendants of Adam and Eve? | Genesis | kalos | 2953 | ||
Since it is not possible to prove the negative, could someone produce a clear verse of Scripture that says God DID create other people around the world also? In Scripture I read that He only created two humans -- Adam and Eve. . . . And, according to Scripture, is it not logical to conclude that we are all descendants of Noah, as well? |
