261 | What is the goal of Bible study? | Col 1:28 | Radioman | 5546 | ||
One purpose of Studying the Bible is so that the foolish may become wise. After reading many of the postings to this website, I conclude that apparently this purpose is not being fulfilled by some persons who study the Bible, assuming they have studied it. | ||||||
262 | Are your gulity not making a day holy? | Col 2:16 | Radioman | 7705 | ||
"Are your gulity not making a day holy?" Exactly what does the above question mean in English? As has been pointed out to you repeatedly, no one changed the Sabbath from Sat. to Sun. The Jewish (non-Christian and non-Gentile) Sabbath always was, is now, and always shall be on the seventh day, which is Saturday. Sunday is not the new Sabbath. Who do you think you are to presume anyone guilty of anything? First cast the beam out of thine own eye. |

263 | Isn't The 4th Cmdmnt Part Of Mosaic Law | Col 2:16 | Radioman | 7706 | ||
Q: Isn't The 4th Cmdmnt Part Of Mosaic Law. A: The 4th Cmdmnt sure is part of the Mosaic Law. Do you also keep all the dietary laws, the new moons, festivals, 20 percent tithe (look it up in the Mosaic Law -- the tithe Israel paid anually was much closer to 20 percent than 10), the command to stone a child who is continually rebellious, the blood sacrifices and all the rest of the ceremonial law contained in the Law of Moses? |

264 | Do we play or pray? | Col 2:16 | Radioman | 7904 | ||
From: Radioman To: His Honor, Judge Stevie Butler The beam that is in thine own eye grows longer and heavier by the minute. Before you go completely blind, you may want to use yor judge's scalpel to dissect yourself and see how (if) you measure up. After you have authored either a study Bible that remains in print for NINE decades or ONE coherent posting (whichever comes first), then some sentient creature might begin to take you seriously. Have a nice day, your honor. |

265 | Do we play or pray? | Col 2:16 | Radioman | 7929 | ||
EdB concludes: "Scofield must be right his Bible has been in print for 90 years 9 decades". You're the one who said it, EdB, not me. Steve Butler must be right, because EdB agrees with him. EdB must be right, because Steve Butler, the man who knows everything and understands nothing, agrees with him. Or, here is another alternative: The blind are leading the blind. |

266 | Do we play or pray? | Col 2:16 | Radioman | 8096 | ||
Reposted by popular demand. From: Radioman To: His Honor, Judge Steve Butler The beam that is in thine own eye grows longer and heavier by the minute. Before you go completely blind, you may want to use yor judge's scalpel to dissect yourself and see how (if) you measure up. |

267 | what is the true worship day sun. or sat | Col 2:16 | Radioman | 25148 | ||
Likewise, some seem to feel that translators can do no right, while they themselves, the critics, can do no wrong. |
||||||
268 | What IS your belief? | Col 2:16 | Radioman | 25369 | ||
I'm afraid I do not understand. How is it that the findings of others are the mere ramblings and speculations of man, but your findings are not the mere ramblings and speculation of man? Are you not a man? Do you have a direct line to God that no one else has? As to the question, "I still don't know whether you are saying that we should repent and dump Sunday assembly, or it's technically wrong but morally OK, or what?" -- you still have not given a direct answer, have you? Are you trying to hide something or what? I assume you will add my question to the list of those you refuse to answer. |
||||||
269 | What IS your belief? | Col 2:16 | Radioman | 25375 | ||
You write: "And God knows exactly what you know and why you know it. He also knows why you don't know some things and what you could have known if you had taken the effort to know. Kapeesh?" Spare me the sermon. I was asking for clarification, not your judgment of me. What I kapeesh is that your last paragraph was a putdown of me. God knows what I could have known if I had taken the effort to know. Cute. Very cute. You spent two years studying two verses, but your study was of limited scope? No, I don't want a myth. How did you interpet from what I said that I wanted a myth? All I understand from your third paragraph is that you're a pastor -- one who studies at the rate of one verse per year - a pastor who doesn't interpret the Bible. Whatever. Enjoy the myth of your own superior knowledge or piety or both. |

270 | what is the true worship day sun. or sat | Col 2:16 | Radioman | 25378 | ||
Now I know the area in which you are superior -- witty comebacks and putdowns of others. It takes a lot of learning to get a man as deep as you think you are. By the way, the plural of thesis is "theses," not "thesis's." |

271 | Who was that masked man? | Col 2:16 | Radioman | 25757 | ||
Heard on Christian radio. "Look for people who always seem stuck on one over-emphasized point of theology. This is the person who bangs the proverbial drum for his own little area. Some crazy quirk. And it usually is not some great divine insight. They'd like you to think they're so close to God that they have a great divine insight that no one else has. The fact of the matter is they're seeking a platform for the feeding of their ego. Watch for people with a lack of balance." If one has submitted a total of 80 postings and 79 of them are about the same verse, does that not seem a bit quirkish? Could someone who submits 79 out of 80 postings about ONE verse of the Bible be considered yet another Internet Lone Ranger Bible teacher and self-appointed expert with a lack of balance? |

272 | Correcting the translation | Col 2:16 | Radioman | 26019 | ||
If you guys had the ability to read (especially minds); if you were smart enough not to make assumptions (where insufficient data exists); if you possessed a suprior mentality such that you always made good grades; if you could impress people with the length of your bibliographies; in short, if you had attended grad school, you would be brainy enough to figure out his position, which is: He has no position. His only position is that he, poor writing and communication skills aside, is right and all uneducated swine are wrong. If you don't believe it, just ask him. | ||||||
273 | Ideal, but prerequisite? | 1 Timothy | Radioman | 1570 | ||
It is written: "But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage..." 1 Tim 3:1-4 NASB | ||||||
274 | Why don't we obey 1 Timothy 2:9? | 1 Tim 2:9 | Radioman | 7926 | ||
Q: In 1 Timothy 2:9, it says that women should not wear braided hair, gold or pearls. Why is this not being obeyed today? A: Your question is one that is frequently asked and deserves a reply. Nothing in my reply is intended to be critical of you or your question. 1 Pet 3:3 Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; If this verse prohibits women from braiding the hair and wearing gold jewelry, then it also prohibits them from putting on dresses. Does it not? Why is this not being obeyed today? Please read the verse in 1 Peter 3. Also notice the use of the word "merely" in the verse. |

275 | What does this verse mean? | 1 Tim 2:15 | Radioman | 40741 | ||
You write: "If you compare the Amplified Bible translation to the origional (sic) greek, then, yes it is someone's wrong interpretation." There is more to the work of Bible translation than most of us are aware of. Having a thorough knowledge of the original languages is just the beginning. "The art and science of Bible translation is one of the most demanding -- and humbling of all ministry professions. Perhaps Martin Luther said it best when he opined that he was glad he became a Bible translator, "...otherwise I might have died someday imagining that I was a learned man." (Apparently there are many who have never done the work of translating the Bible who IMAGINE that they know more than they actually do.) "The challenge of beginning with the original Bible languages, syntax and cultures and translating them into the receptor language, replete with its own idioms and cultural understandings, is massive. IT CAN NEVER BE A WORK OF PERSONAL PREFERENCES or accommodation to special interests." (Emphasis added. "The facts that inspired an updated Scripture text for today's reader", Zondervan.) To be qualified to translate the Bible one needs a good knowledge of ancient LANGUAGES, CULTURES, ARCHEOLOGY, and HISTORY, as well as proficiency in the receptor language (in this case English). Much more is needed than just sitting down with one's Strong's and appointing oneself an expert in Bible translation. The Amplified Bible is someone's wrong interpretation? That statement alone indicates a lack of knowledge and understanding of the Bible and the translation process. One need not like the Amplified, but it is presumptuous and erroneous to declare it to be "someone's wrong interpretation." |

276 | If the shoe fits... | 2 Tim 2:15 | Radioman | 15112 | ||
If the shoe fits,... Many of you have reminded us every other 10 minutes that the preachers, scholars and authors who write commentary are mere men and that what they write is only their opinion. Guess what? EdB, Steve B, Radioman and everyone else on this forum are only humans. Everything we/they write is merely our/their own opinion. So when you bash the 'experts' as being mere humans who write their own opinion, don't forget to bash yourselves and the rest of us along with those who have actually made a serious study of the Bible. Or, put another way, if you don't trust the recognized teachers that Christ has given to the church, then why should we trust you? Do you have some direct line to God that no one else has? |
||||||
277 | Where's the line? | 2 Tim 2:23 | Radioman | 5542 | ||
In case you missed it: "Have you built your ark yet? "From this verse, Genesis 6:14, and this verse alone, isn't it perfectly clear that God expects each one of us to build an ark?Some doctrines have been based on little more than a random verse, so why shouldn't we stock up on gopher wood and start building?" (original question by Hank) Your friend, Radioman. |
||||||
278 | Where's the line? | 2 Tim 2:23 | Radioman | 5543 | ||
"Paul does not tell Timothy to refuse speculations." Yes, he does. NASB 2 Timothy 2:23 "But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels." |
||||||
279 | Where's the line? | 2 Tim 2:23 | Radioman | 5552 | ||
I agree entirely with your well-stated answer. Unfortunately, the people who need it most won't get it. The fact that it applies to them will roll right off their back, or their mane as the case may be. "Do you have any Scriptural support for the idea of human free will?" Apparently the person you asked has no Scriptural support. If they did, I'm sure they would be eager to tell you what it is. |
||||||
280 | Is this a discussion group? | 2 Tim 2:23 | Radioman | 5903 | ||
No, this is not a discussion group. Since the question has been clearly and authoritatively answered, I suppose we are now in for a month-long debate over the question. That would be typical here at the Forum. | ||||||
