541 | God kill the most people | Rom 9:14 | BradK | 222869 | ||
Hello dusty3, You appear to be making a statement, not posing a question? Was there a point to your comment? Rom. 9:14-16 reads: Rom 9:14 What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be! Rom 9:15 For He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION." Rom 9:16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy. (NASB) Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

543 | How are christians justified | Rom 5:1 | BradK | 222789 | ||
Hello smoothone50, By faith! Rom 3:28 "For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law." (NASB) Rom 5:1 "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ," BradK |

544 | Are those two scriptures in conflict wit | Eph 6:2 | BradK | 222776 | ||
Hello hoodrat, You cannot take the statement from Ps. 27:10- in isolation- as a absolute directive! Go back and read, re-read and meditate upon Rom. 12 passage. There is much more specific directive found there! Also, Eph. 6:2 speaks to your circumstances. Remember Prov. 3:5-6 Prov 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. Prov 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. I encourage you to pray for the Lords' wisdom and guideance and that He would lead you to a place of forgiveness towards your parents (despite what they have done) and an understanding of how to respond.

545 | A cripple or blind Pastor should'nt be? | Lev 21:24 | BradK | 222772 | ||
Hello humility, I think you may have answered your question:-) God was speaking to Moses... It's important to keep in mind the context when studying a passage. Who's speaking, who's being spoken to, and what's being spoken about. Note vs. 16, "Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying," (NASB) Then, vs. 17, "Speak to Aaron, saying,..." Finally, vs 24, "So Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel." (NASB) This would not- IMO- be a command to us, the Body of Christ! As far as NT support, I think Paul sums it up in Rom. 6:14, " For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace." Also, Col. 2:8ff. I hope this helps, BradK |

546 | IS IT POSSIBLE TO ATTAIN THE RIGHTOUSNES | Rom 5:1 | BradK | 222770 | ||
Hello wendyfaye, The answer is" By Faith! Rom. 3:26 tells us, "for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."(NASB) Then, in Rom. 4:3-5 Paul states, Rom 4:3 For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS." Rom 4:4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. Rom 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness," (NASB) Further, in Rom. 5:1 we have the concluding result "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

547 | Would Psalm 27: 10 be applicable to my s | Eph 6:2 | BradK | 222765 | ||
Hello hoodrat, Yes, it would speak in general to your situation. I'd read 27:8-11 to get the fuller context! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

548 | I know Ephesians 6: 1-2 tells you to hon | Eph 6:2 | BradK | 222763 | ||
Hello hoodrat, I empathize with you. You're not wrong to struggle with this- simply human:-) Eph. 6:2-3 instructs, "HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the first commandment with a promise), SO THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU," (NASB) It doesn't qualify by saying "if we feel like it" or "if our parents were kind to us", etc. We do this because we are commanded to do so by the Lord- even despite the circumstances! Only as we are transformed by the renewal of our minds, and conformed to the image of Christ can we deal with these matters as God intends. May you meditate upon Rom. 12:14-21. Rom 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rom 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Rom 12:16 Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Rom 12:17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. Rom 12:18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Rom 12:19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. Rom 12:20 "BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD." Rom 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. May the Lord strengthen you and give you the wisdom to continue to strive in loving and honoring your parents- to His glory!

549 | Bless the name of Jesus too? | Ps 113:2 | BradK | 222757 | ||
Hello karis05, You are correct that we are told- as in Psalm 113:2, "Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forever." (NASB) There is no verse with the exact words, "bless the name of Jesus". In the NT, Luke 1:68 says, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited us and accomplished redemption for His people," Rom. 1:25 states, "...the Creator, who is blessed forever..." I hope this helps, BradK |

550 | Timothy says no women to teach? | 1 Tim 2:12 | BradK | 222731 | ||
Hello popcorn, As this question has been asked many times you may benefit by the "Search" box at upper Right hand corner. The verse reads, "But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet." (NASB) It's not merely cultural as Paul qualifies it by the following in vs. 13ff, "For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

551 | when did theologians understand 7's? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 222723 | ||
Hello vncnt blzn, Thanks for your reply. Since your friend is "a teacher at the Theosophical Society of America", that explains a lot! Theosophists are basically Mystics- whose object is knowledge, and with whom the organ of communication with God, is the reason. As Hodge notes, "The Theosophist is one who gives a theory of God, or of the works of God, which has not reason, but an inspiration of his own for its basis.” “The Theosophists, neither contented with the natural light of reason, nor with the simple doctrines of Scripture understood in their literal sense, have recourse to an internal supernatural light superior to all other illuminations, from which they profess to derive a mysterious and divine philosophy." So, you are getting information from someone who denies the sufficiency and auhtority of the Bible as the Word of God! Regarding the number seven, it can often denote perfection- or completeness! It is used frequently in Scripture, such as Gen. 2:2, "By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." (NASB) I'm not sure how this contradicts Blavatsky's understanding nor where she thinks theologians lacked in their understanding of the number 7? Might I ask why this is so important to understand? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

552 | when did theologians understand 7's? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 222721 | ||
Hello vncnt blzn, Interesting question, my friend. Just so I understand, can you clarify what exactly is "the biblical concept of the number seven"? I'm not aware it's even a significant doctrine! Two things in response: 1. Who is this teacher friend of yours and where are they getting their information? No, Orthodox Evangelical theologian is following anything of "her lead"; 2. I assure you, Helena Blavatsky did not "discover" the biblical concept of sevens- whatever that means! The only thing she ultimately discovered, was that there is a God and there is a payment due for the wages of sin! (Rom. 6:23); Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

553 | Can a Christian go to Night Clubs | 2 Cor 6:14 | BradK | 222701 | ||
Hello ariel, I think the assumption being made ( at least by myself) is that the qustion was asked to find support, i.e. legitimacy in doing so. Maybe it wasn't, but there are better "venues" (no pun intended) if witnessing is intended! BradK |

554 | Can a Christian go to Night Clubs | James 4:17 | BradK | 222668 | ||
Hello DwigLn, Welcome to the Forum! In answer to your question, "Can a Christian go to Night Clubs": Yes, they can. However, the better question to ask is: Should a Christian go to Night Clubs? I think the answer is self-evident to a Believer. Much could be pulled from Scripture to answer against this, but the overall guiding principle is found in James 4:17, "Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin." (NASB) Here's a few more questions to consider: Would you honor the Lord Jesus Christ by this activity? Why would a Christian WANT to go to "Night Clubs" and WHAT purpose would there be for doing so? John warns us to not love the world in 1 John 2:16-16, "Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world." (NASB) Hopefully this will help in answering your question:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

555 | How was salvation seen in OT? | Heb 11:1 | BradK | 222572 | ||
Hello Diomede, Certainly salvation for Israel was connected to deliverance from circumstances- like David describes- or from enemies like Pharoah and the Egyptians- "But Moses said to the people, "Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever." (NASB Ex. 14:13ff) Yet, the OT saints were saved just as you and I are: by grace through faith! Note the plenty of examples in Hebrews 11- all, "by faith". The whole point was to show the 1st century Jew that his salvation rested upon faith alone! Heb. 11:13 tells us, "All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth." (NASB) As the Lord observes in John 8:56, "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." How did he see it? By faith! I hope this helps, BradK |

558 | Is plygamy right in God's eyes? | Eph 5:25 | BradK | 222428 | ||
Hello AKG-pa, We can look at Eph. 5 for an example of marriage: Eph 5:21 and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. Eph 5:22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. (NASB) Polygamy is neither taught nor supported from scripture. His assertion about 1 Tim. 3:2, 12 is simply wrong! He's only making an assertion without any proof! When one is not in a right relationship with God, they can attempt to justify almost any behavior. I wouldn't worry too much about this man except to pray for him! Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

559 | WHEN DID SIGNS AND WONDERS STOP? | Acts 2:16 | BradK | 222405 | ||
Elder: Do you have love? 1 Cor 13:1 "If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." (NASB) 1 Cor 13:13 "But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love." 1 Cor 14:1 "Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual (gifts), but especially that you may prophesy."
