521 | Is there always the evidence of tongues? | Acts | BradK | 223336 | ||
Hello vncnt, No, all believers will NOT speak in toungues. As Tim already noted- Paul is explicit in his proclamation in 1 Cor. 12:30 "All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?" (NASB) The implied answer in the Greek is, "no". Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

522 | Money box of Jesus | John 12:6 | BradK | 223296 | ||
Hello 00123, Welcome to the Forum! John 12:6 does not give any detail or say how much was in the moneybag! So, to guess would simply be speculative and go beyond what is written. (1 Cor. 4:6) Why does it matter? On the other hand, what support can you provide from scripture that "Jesus was in fact financially very rich"? This is pure conjecture! To what "usual understanding" do you refer? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

524 | Heaven or hell predetermined? | Eph 1:11 | BradK | 223155 | ||
Hello lightedsteps, I think the meaning straight forward as to these "two verses". I don't see it as a matter of "correct interpretation", per se. If I may ask, what in regard to Eph.1 (particularly vs. 3,4 and 11), is (your)the differing view? In order to have a meaningful discussion, I'd need to know where you're coming from? What is it about these verses that cuases concern for you? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

525 | Can people be hristian and stay at home | Heb 10:25 | BradK | 223149 | ||
Hello Robertie, Well, for starters, they're only kidding themselves if they honestly think and believe such a thing. They're in rebellion against the Word of God (Heb. 10:25). There is "wisdom in a multitude of counselors", not by oneself! Prov 19:20 says, "Listen to counsel and accept discipline That you may be wise the rest of your days." (NASB) I'd strongly suggest that these "many people" prayerfully read the entire Word of God- several times if necessary- and then talk to them. Among other things already wisely said, the Christian life is not about being the Lone Ranger! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

526 | Is there a Church of Christ member here? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 223125 | ||
Hello bjaneb, I attend a local "Christian Church" in the Northwest. However, we're not a Church of Christ, though (our) historical roots are the Church of Christ. If I may, why do you ask? BradK |

527 | Heaven or hell predetermined? | Eph 1:11 | BradK | 223112 | ||
Hello lightedsteps, Ephesians does speak of us (believers) being chosen 'according to the good pleasure of His will' (NKJV). Did you overlook Eph. 1:4-5? Eph 1:4 "just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love Eph 1:5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will," (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello conyerswonda, This sounds like a test question? You might be served by picking up a copy of a work on Church History. A classic by Phillip Schaff is quite lengthy while the more recent work by Bruce Shelley more abbreviated! For a summary on central beliefs, the Apostles Creed or the Nicene Creed are available online @ www.creeds.net. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

532 | Can a congragent hear form God ? | Jer 33:3 | BradK | 223006 | ||
Hello KingT, If I may comment. What we're dealing with here is how God speaks to us today as believers. Heb. 1:1-2 tells us, "God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world." (NASB) God is sovereign, He can and has spoken through a donkey, etc. The point is, we have the completed canon of Scripture whereby He has left us His Word. The Bible is the Word of God. It is God's Word- Him speaking to us! To say otherwise or look for various mystical methods is to negate the authority and sufficiency of His Holy Word! The question is: How does God speak to us today? By the way, I don't believe I gave an analogy of the Court Room? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Jesus' Chickling, Welcome to the Forum. What about the Word? Does not God speak to us through his Word? It is, afterall, the Word of God, is it not? Heb 4:12 "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (NASB) Don't all believers have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them? Eph 1:13 tells us (speaking to the believer) "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise," (NASB) Remember, "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of Christ" (Rom. 10:13) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello lightedsteps, Allow me to offer comment here. As Doc had mentioned, the area of which you seem to question is that of Textual Criticism. This is the science of reconstructing the original text(s) of Scripture based upon available manuscript evidence. It is a highly specialized field and not one where opinions are offered like a grain of salt. I understand where you're coming from and you're most certainly entitled to your opinion. However, are we to believe you have a better handle on textual matters- or are more qualified - than a godly learned man who has studied these? While's it's OK to question things- and we need to think critically- I wouldn't throw the proverbial "baby-out-with-the-bathwater" on this. You (almost) alone appear to support Mark 16:9-20 as canonical without question. Upon what evidence would you support your statement, "this inerrancy extends as far as the canon itself"? Do you have understanding about the Transmission of Scripture and how the NT was Canonized? There were many complexities involved. Doubts about Mark 16:9-20 are more in the realm of Textual Criticism and have little connection with Inerrancy! (See Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy- Article X) Your question "do these teachings edify the reader, or do they make the reader, question the Bible text as true or not?" has no bearing upon Canonicity or Textual Criticism. No disrespect intended, but it seems you're arguing from ignorance?:-) I would not call men like the late Bruce Metzger or F.F Bruce "false apostles" They are men, certainly fallible, and fallen like the rest of us. Yet as C.H. Spurgeon wisely commented, "It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others." F.F. Bruce was Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester, England for some 20 years. Having just re-read his "The Canon of Scripture", let me share his thoughts on Mark 16: "What of the last twelve verses of Mark's Gospel (16:9-20)? These verses- the longer Marcan appendix- were not part of Mark's work. That in itself would not render them uncanonical- as we have seen, canonicity and authorship are two distinct issues- but their contents reveal their secondary nature. They seem to present, in the main, a summary of resurrection appearances recorded in the other Gospels." He goes on to conclude, "The right of these twelve verses to receive canonical recognition is doubtful". Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello lightedsteps, I wouldn't take steve's reply as trivializing Mark 16. Keep in mind there is doubt as to the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20! This passage has been called a later addition to the Gospel of Mark by most New Testament scholars in the past century. One of the major reasons for doubting the authenticity of the ending is that it does not appear in some of the oldest existing manuscripts, and it is reported to be absent from many others in ancient times by early writers of the Church. I'd caution basing one's doctrine from such a passage :-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Inquistitor, If you don't mind me asking, are you an then adherent of solo scriptura? Do you discard any and all creeds, confessions of the Church or Church fathers? I don't beleive any of us are claiming to be inspired in the way the apostles were when they penned scripture. We believe the Bible to be the Word of God, inerrant, verbal plenary inspired and authoritative to us in our faith and practice. Nor do I believe any of us are saying that we hold the word of man to a higher degree than God's Word. But, we're also not discarding the value of what many godly men have been influenced through their study and illumined by the Holy Spirit to say! (Heb. 13:7) BradK |

Hello inquisitor, May I say, we need to consider the "whole counsel of scripture" in determining a doctrine. Notice you said, " but other folks on TV and some of my friends keep on adding the verses about baptism." It matters not what folks on TV or friends, add, but "what saith the scripture" (Rom. 4:3) As F.F. Bruce notes in his work "The Canon of Scripture", "It is not enough to say 'the Bible says...' without at the same time considering to whom the Bible says it, and in what circumstances." What does the entirety of scripture teach aboout baptism? Read the book of Romans- especially the first 4 chapters. Note Eph. 2:8-9 "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Read the 11th chapter of Hebrews- faith's "hall of fame". Notice the phrase, "by faith..." It is not about "by baptism", is it? Our great cloud of witnesses all were commended for their faith.
