3161 | denominational bias? | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 166315 | ||
Hi Chris, My apologies, my friend. My intent was not so much to be de-edifying, but rather to challenge his off-the-wall reply. Did his reply make any sense to you? If you've followed the thread and read the initial question, I think it is self-evident as to why it didn't make sense. The original question had to do with arguing the inspiration of the Bible. I simply fail to see how baptism has anything to do with the matter! My being hard on 7777, was due to my own inability to comprehend, make sense, and otherwise understand them. Speaking the Truth in Him, BradK |

3162 | i'm sorry | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 166327 | ||
Hi Chris, As one who takes very seriously posting on this Forum, there is a certain amount of responsibilty incumbant upon all users. As a leader, I have far more responsibilities than I do rights. Having been a believer for 19 years and a regular on this Forum, I have a fair ability to discern. (I don't say this arrogantly) Basically, I made a judgement call based on my experience and insight. Additionally, if you examine the 42 posts made by 7777, I believe it's clear that he/she was responding to and pushing a particular bias. They may have been unaware of it, but they did non-the-less. Here's why: Having been around this Forum for 4 years, it is implicit that one read and familiarize themselves with the "Terms of Use" and "About Postings". I did, and most all other long-term users have a well. Posting is a privledge, not a right so, when asked by another member to cease from posting on an emotionally-laden issue such as Acts 2:38 and baptismal regeneration, you should comply. I did ask 7777 at least once to cease. Since you haven't been around for awhile, take note of the vast number of posts and endless debate this topic has generated. Many posters who have been persistent in "pushing" their views on this matter have had their accounts revoked by Lockman. This should tell you something. Essentially, it comes down to "beating the proverbial dead horse". Chris, it goes beyond mere fruitful discussion and enters into the realm of argument, and ultimately denominational bias. This edifies no one. I hope this clarifies where I'm coming from. BradK |

3163 | A better English Bible ? | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 166400 | ||
Hi Justme, Yes, I'm growing into liking the ESV. I'm using it more and more. It is a very good translation that does justice to the original languages. I recommend it. BradK |

3164 | The reason for the creation of 1 Samuel? | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 168643 | ||
Hello arialph, The general answer to your question can be found in 2 Tim. 3:16! God inspired the writer of 1 Samuel to pen the words for His purpose in communicating to His creation. This also holds for the book of 2 Samuel. Specifically, the book of 1 Samuel describes the transition of leadership in Israel from judges to kings. We have 3 prominent characters in Samuel, Saul, and David. Samuel is really a type of Christ in that he is a prophet, priest, and judge. David is one of the primary OT portrayals of the person of Christ. I trust this will be of help. BradK |

3165 | Paul our pattern to follow, not Jesus? | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 169619 | ||
Hi Bereaniam, Welcome to the Forum. I believe I understand your position and the distinction you are making. And yes, Paul is our pattern- as he imitates Christ (1 Cor. 11:1). I'm very familiar with the Dispensational/Pauline view as I attended a Berean Church here in the NW for a number of years. I also understand it's Pauline emphasis and focus as opposed to the Gospels and OT. I've read Stam's "Things That Differ" as well as many works of J.C O'Hair and E.W. Bullinger. I would term Romans as "The Theology of the NT" as it needs to be rightly understood to make sense of scripture. Paul's writings need to be viewed in the scope of progressive revelation. I tend not to be as dogmatic in embracing Dispensationalism (and Ultra-Dispensationalism) as I once was. Not that I disagree with many of it's tenets, but I've found we have more to agree with in regards to sound doctrine- Orthodoxy than we have to split hairs about:-). Feel free to check out my user profile should you feel so inclined. I trust you'll find your journey on the Forum edifying and beneficial. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3166 | Leviticus: Selectively Outdated? | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 171085 | ||
Hi Michael, Simply, the answer lies with 2 Tim. 3:16: "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;" The entire canon of scripture- all 66 books- are considered God's Word. There are timeless truths echoed in it's pages. One is that of the sin of homosexuality. Both the OT and NT condem it's practice. One of the favorite methods of the pro-homosexual camp is to simply dismiss what the Bible says. This done by discarding or calling into question the "validity" of any book such as Leviticus. They attempt to weed out truths of God's Word that are not to their liking! It is selective and dishonest. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3167 | 2nd last book of the NT Contrary? | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 178795 | ||
Hello KumKum, I'm assuming you're talking about the Book of Jude. It has been accepted as canonical- so I'd highly recommend some study and caution before you take such a leap! You might want to use the "search" function on the term "canon" as discussed on the SBF. Also, Bible.org also has some excellent resources under the Topic, "Canon". An opinion is one thing. What "evidence" do you have that Jude is contrary to the writings of Paul? One of the rules of interpretation is that scripture cannot contradict itself. In spite of it's limited subject matter and size, Jude was accepted as authentic and quoted by early church fathers. Doubts arose concerning the place of Jude in the canon because of it's use of the Apocrypha. It was a disputed book in some parts of the church, but it eventually won universal recognition. You would be seriously remiss and unbalanced by adopting a selected reading of scripture, my friend. Since all of scripture is inspired by God, what Paul refers to includes all 66 Books of the Bible. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

KumKum: Please. I'm not one to play Biblical hide-and-seek games!And, no I don't "know the rest". Might you take some time to clearly spell out your argument or leave well enough alone:-( Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Dear Kum Kum, The burden of proof is on you as you are making the assertion! Can you provide specific evidence- other than opinion- to back what you are claiming? Beyong that my freind, you appear to be climbing out on a limb. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3172 | Where I can find documentation | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 183904 | ||
Dear stjames, If you don't mind me asking, I'm confused by your statements. So, salvation is wholly of you? You save yourself through baptism, and are kept by your works? Where is Christ in this picture? If YOU are the one responsible for your salvation and the keeping of it, I would concur that you could teeter back and forth. Which works are good enough to save you and which are bad enough to condemn you? Your view presents a god who frankly does not save to the uttermost (Heb. 7:25), and who is not really very sovereign. I thank God that I am truly saved by grace through faith, not of myself, lest I boast! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3173 | Where I can find documentation | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 183916 | ||
Dear stjames, It seems we have a different view of exegesis and more specifically context! Proof-texting can validate just about any position. Jesus also commanded His disciples to do and perfom many things in Matthew 10. Are you in compliance with all these? If not, why? Ultimately, if you are comfortable with your relationship with the Lord, so be it:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello miller, If I mayn be so blunt as to suggest 2 things?: 1. Show a little more thought in your replies- less emotion, 2. Be a bit more Biblically sound in your points This will go a long way toward a better- more edifying dialog that will serve the Forum:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3175 | eye for eye,turn other cheek-opposite? | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 201797 | ||
Hi Debbie lee, I really doubt there is anything you can say to your husband that will change his mind! "There is none who seeks after God." (Rom. 3:11) Often times, when someone is a non-believer, they use the "contradiction" excuse as a way out. Remember, to the unregenerate heart, truth is veiled! (2 Cor. 4:3-4) 1. Is your husband a believer? 2. Is he truly open to and looking for answers?

3176 | what three books did Luke right | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 202120 | ||
Hello ot, Welcome to the Forum! To my knowledge, it's only known for certain that Luke authored, the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. To attribute any 3rd book would be speculative:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3177 | compilation of scripture and compilatio | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 214289 | ||
Hello 561joshua..., Time doesn't permit a full comprehensive answer. However, a resource I can recommend is "The Cannon of Scripture" by F.F. Bruce. I hope this helps, BradK |

3178 | compilation of scripture and compilatio | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 214300 | ||
Hello lionheart, No, as far as I'm aware, Bruce's book is only available through normal booksellers. However, here's a link that may be of help: www.bible-researcher.com/canon.html. It contains an article by Bruce titled, "The New Testament Canon". The rest of the works looks solid. I hope this helps, BradK |

3179 | Dialogue with KJV only person? | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 215818 | ||
Hello justme, I would concur with our other brothers' advice. Proverbs 8:5 comes to mind: "O naive ones, understand prudence; And, O fools, understand wisdom." (NASB) From my perspective and experience, it's difficult if not impossible to enter into a rational discussion with someone who isn't. Based on that, (your) avoiding the subject seems the prudent course. I would! Why are they insisting on a dialog? What do they hope to gain? "The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable, But the mouth of fools spouts folly." (Prov. 15:2) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3180 | The Value of the Bible | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 217921 | ||
Hello Dcmartin, How about 2 Tim. 3:16-17 "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
