3181 | the NEW 2011 NIV ? | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 218256 | ||
Hi Justme, From what I've read, it's more in line with the TNIV and will replace it when published. Here's a link: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/32644719/ns/us_news-faith Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello giovanna, Maybe you could clarify? Have we forgot something? Where has it been stated or supported that scripture is not inspired by God? BradK |

3183 | the TNIV and the "new" NIV | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 230690 | ||
Hello justme, Interesting question you pose. As I've mentioned before, I have one of the few known copies of the TNIV:-) I bought it for reference several years back. It did not sell well, and, as you noted, was discontinued from being published. I was not a fan of it per se (nor the original NIV) as I prefer more literal translations. The biggest criticism (from scholars) of it was due to it's supposed intent on being "gender-neutral". Though the TNIV translation committee may have denied it, this attempt really came out of feminist ideology (IMO). I have not read the new NIV, though I have it on my Logos4 software. I still much prefer the NASB, the NKJV- and more recently the ESV. That being said, Dr. Dan Wallace of DTS, has given a surprisingly favorable review of the new NIV. He is Professor of NT Studies and a noted textual critic, so his comments are not without merit! It is a 4-part review and may be worth your reading. I found it both informative and quite interesting. You can read the review at this link: http://www.reclaimingthemind.org/blog/category/dan-wallace-contra-mundane/. I hope this is of some help, BradK |

3184 | Bible tampered with?? plz help | 2 Tim 3:16 | BradK | 231489 | ||
Hello Mr. Chambers, Possible this video link will be helpful. Session 3 on the Transmission of Scripture should be very informative. This an excellent course that I've both been through and taught, so I can personally vouch for the content. http://www.reclaimingthemind.org/what-we-do/the-theology-program/bibliology-hermeneutics/Session 3 Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3185 | Scriptures to witness to someone in jail | 2 Tim 4:2 | BradK | 181432 | ||
Hello strickmar, I believe 2 Tim. 4:2 would provide a basis for your question: "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction." Additionally, we could follow the prescription laid out in Rom. 10:14: "How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?" I hope this helps, BradK |

3186 | 'Reinvented' Gospel | 2 Tim 4:3 | BradK | 110141 | ||
New Creature, I'm going to agree! I think we're seeing a rapid departure from the Gospel as MacArthur suggests. The truth of 2 Timothy 2:15 is on the verge of becoming a lost art. Consequently, Bible knowledge and study of the Word are seriously neglected and even ignored! We see this magnified immensly at an evermore increasing rate on the likes of TBN. I encourage people to watch, simply to see the abberant doctrines and end-runs around the Word of God. The majority of the "teaching" is nothing more than spiritual "junk-food". It may taste good and even fill you, but in the long run it's harmful. It is a sad, yet telling picture of our times. Yet, we're not ignorant of satan's devices. We need to proclaim the truth, relevance, and authority of God's Word more than ever. I often ponder the meaning of Phil.1:15-18 and wonder if we've not strayed! Certainly some of the growth of "Mega-Churches" and the like can be attributed to God's Spirit moving in peoples hearts. I don't want to discount or minimalize that. However, I do feel that much of this is because of the "watering down" of the Gospel message, etc. to make it more appealing and draw larger numbers. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi John, Since you asked, I'll gladly tell you my thoughts. I hope this won't open up the proverbial "can of worms". You can also access the "Search" function on this site to view the multitude of discussions on the SBF. It is a heresy that I believe ignores the many attributes of God and relegates Him to that of a vending machine. God does not exist for the sole purpose of granting our wishes and making our lives healthy and wealthy! We might have those results but it is within God's perogative to allow- or not. My main concern with this type of theology- or lack thereof- is that it ignores seeking God for Who He IS rather than what He can do for me. Job. 1:9 is a great example: "Then Satan answered the LORD, "Does Job fear God for nothing?" Why shouldn't we be content with seeking God for Who He IS? Is not it Him alone that we should desire and be content with (Ps. 105:3-4)? WOF theology denies this and makes God subservient to our desires. I believe Jonathan Edwards said it very well when he stated "THE GOOD WHICH SHALL BE BROUGHT BY PRAYER: GOD HIMSELF. Scripture says, "They shall go to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of Hosts." The good that they seek for is "The Lord of Hosts," Himself. If "seeking God" means no more than seeking the favor or mercy of God then "praying before the Lord," and "seeking the Lord of Hosts" must be looked upon as synonymous. However, "seeking the Lord" is commonly used to mean something far more than seeking something from God. Surely it implies that God Himself is what is desired and sought after." I believe the answer has more to do with our economic success than it does the historical and Biblically Orthodox faith! The god of WOF is a man-made invention wrapped within 20th and 21st Century American prosperity! It is man seeking the god of convenience and comfort rather than the God of the Bible. I trust this will give you some perspective and food for thought on this rampantly growing and proliferating movement. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3192 | How to deal with extreme evil | Titus 3:1 | BradK | 174046 | ||
Dear Finder, I really have no idea as to the answer to your question:-) However, as it is more in the realm of history than Bible study, the Forum may not be the most appropriate place to seek your answer. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3193 | Titus 3:5 and washing of regeneration | Titus 3:5 | BradK | 132308 | ||
Dalcent, I certainly welcome you to the Forum and are glad to see a brother from across the Atlantic:-) With all due respect,I'm puposefully going to ignore your rather biased reply. It is nothing other than "your" opinion. I strongly disagree! You have come to this Forum, stating that you are a Catholic Christian with a Masters in Contemporary Catholic Theology. That's fine, and I congratulate you. However, don't claim to be so superior to everyone else! By and large you have come across as arrogant! From the start, you've seemed to have a chip on your shoulder, that is obviously "anti-Protestant"- in my view. Nobody is out to question your relationship with the Lord, or the fact that you're Catholic. Catholics are as welcome here as any other Orthodox believer. Why do you find it necessary to slam Protestant views with such utter disdain? You don't have to PROVE anything, my brother. This is not becoming, and your arrogant, harsh tones will not win you many supporters here. May you take this in the manner of love in which it is intended. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

3194 | Titus 3:5 and washing of regeneration | Titus 3:5 | BradK | 132329 | ||
Dear Dalcent, Thank you for your response. I can understand your feelings and I'm sorry that you felt assailed initially. I'm sure it was not intended as malicious. I also agree that deep theological debate should be open to discussion on this Forum. I think it is based on my Two and One-Half years experience here. However, many times it is stifled and collapsed due to "put-downs" or personal attacks as emotions can run pretty deep on these matters. I'm certainly open to discussing theological issues, but these discussions have to be within the guidelines that the Lockman Foundation has set. Again, many times emotions take charge over constructive discussion and the guidelines get ignored. I think if we keep as our guide the principles in Romans 14, much benefit can be gained. I do look forward to your participation and discussing of issues with you- in the spirit of love (Gal. 5:22). Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3195 | Titus 3:5 and washing of regeneration | Titus 3:5 | BradK | 132458 | ||
Dalcent, I thank you for your honesty and thoughts on this matter of your testimony. My main question is: Are you then intimating that "Catholic" Theology is right and everyone else is wrong? That's how I read what you're saying. If not please correct me:-) This seems to be your thrust based on the posts I've read. You say "Ultimately I just can't accept that the conservative evangelical wing of Protestantism is handling scripture properly at all." Though I can't argue with your right to object, you certainly can't be advocating that Protestantism is all wrong in it's interpretation of scripture?! That's a very broad brush by which to paint! I would ask, "why"? By your own logic, the very same argument could be used against Catholicism that you levy at Protestants. However, that would be extremely unfair because it is an over-generalization at best. Again, I respect your right to disagree, but it does appear that you have a MAJOR chip on your shoulder with regards to Protestantism and I'm not exactly sure why. If we're being honest, none of us has a "corner on the truth" when it comes to interpretation- Catholicism included! To say that you've "come to a place where I'm satisfied with my study of the Bible rather than falling to bits" is fine - if that's where you're at with the Lord. Praise God. However what you seem to be suggesting reeks of superiority in my humble estimation. God resists the proud , but gives grace to the humble. Those are my thoughts, in the spirit of love. BradK |

3197 | Salvation "vs" Baptism | Titus 3:5 | BradK | 177093 | ||
Hi Gunner, This is not an easy question to provide a brief answer for. Orthodoxy generally holds that salvation is by grace through faith alone (Eph. 2:8-9). The basis of the problem is noted in "Rediscovering Expository Preaching": 'The rapid deterioration of primitive Christianity has been well documented. A lack of expository preaching in the post-apostolic period is evidence of this, but it is not the only problem. The ordinance of believers’ baptism rapidly turned to the doctrine of baptismal regeneration. The Lord’s Supper shifted from being a memorial for believers to being viewed widely as a sacrament conveying saving grace.' [John MacArthur, Rediscovering Expository Preaching, 42] Scripture as a whole teaches and confirms that it is our faith that saves us (2 Tim. 1:9). Though there are a few verses such as Mark 16:16 (texual doubt), Acts 2:38, and 1 Pet. 3:21, that have proved problematic, the overwhelming weight is still on grace by faith! In Paul's summary of the Gospel in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 he is strangley silent on Baptism if it is indeed necessary for one's salvation! As an interpretive principle, we interpret the less clear by the more clear verses. Context also plays a significant role. Baptism is perfomed as an Ordinance to identify the new believer with Christ. It is merely an outward profession of an inward work done by God (1 Cor. 6:11, 12:13). You may also do a search using the "Search" function and type in "Baptismal Regeneration" to view the discussions on this topic on the SBF. They are numerous! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
