1062 | "Doctrine divides" | 1 Tim 4:16 | Radioman2 | 85938 | ||
'"Doctrine divides" has been the hue and cry. Yes, doctrine does divide - that’s its very purpose. It divides us from the Jehovah’s Witnesses and from those . . . who promote a distorted view of Christ and His atonement.' -- Paul R. Belli and G. Richard Fisher 1 Timothy 4:16 (New King James Version) Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you. |

1063 | Church budget not met should they beg? | 1 Tim 5:17 | Radioman2 | 103911 | ||
Churches should not HAVE TO BEG. 'It's unfortunate that so many churches feel they must squeeze money out of people in the name of stewardship. Churches think they must beg and plead and hit folks over the head to get their offering. They offer chicken dinners and fashion shows in order to squeeze out the last drop. They can barely break even because their congregation is so reluctant to give. This shows that something is drastically wrong in the heart. Something is wrong when we don't give money, time, or service to the God who has been so good to us. 'In my ministry, I have committed to teach and preach about stewardship, not squeeze money out of people. But the reality is that unless the church members understand they are stewards of God’s kingdom, the ministry of the kingdom greatly suffers. Stewardship is a matter of the heart.' --Dr. Tony Evans ____________________ http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/The_Alternative |

1064 | Questionable Questions | 1 Tim 6:4 | Radioman2 | 61572 | ||
He is puffed up with pride and stupefied with conceit, [although he is] woefully ignorant. He has a morbid fondness for controversy and disputes and strife about words, which result in (produce) envy and jealousy, quarrels and dissension, abuse and insults and slander, and base suspicions, (AMPLIFIED) 1 Timothy 6:4 Is there such a thing as a stupid question? Read the following questions which have actually been posted here and judge for yourself. Questionable Questions. These are actual questions that have been posted on the forum. Note: I am not necessarily implying that there is anything "wrong" with either the questions or those who asked them. I merely point out that these questions are a bit odd. (These are direct quotes, unedited and uncorrected.) "Who do we know the bible is realy God's?" "? ? ?" "Russellville?" "If we are to love our enemies than why are we taught to hate Satan?" "Does God have free will?" "What was the first language of Adam/Eve?" "Was Abraham a Muslim?" "Why does everything happen in thirds?" "If 'computer' stands for 666 than isn't wrong for us to use the computer?" (Note: This question was posted using a PC -- Personal COMPUTER.) "In the bible, where are Japanese?" "Blue marbles roll faster than red ones(?)" "Are death and Hades destroyed or are they tormented forever?" "What if?" "Where does the Bible say that the earth revolves?" "How do you know the earth spins on its axis?" "Why do we grow old?" "The Bible says that what is put to death is dead both in heaven and earth,so how did Jesus raise himself from the dead?" Now I will ask a question. After reading the above samples of actual forum questions: Is this StudyBibleForum or Trivial Pursuit? |

'Popular TV preachers 'Joyce Meyer is one of America's best-known prosperity-gospel TV ministers - preachers who teach that personal wealth can be attained through a strong faith in God and a strict adherence to the Bible. 'Following is an alphabetical list of a new wave of popular word-faith ministers who have used television to build large followings: (...) 'Kenneth and Gloria Copeland 'Headquarters: Fort Worth, Texas 'Reach: Ministry Web site says its TV show, "Believer's Voice of Victory," is seen by more than 76 million households on nearly 700 U.S. stations. Show also airs on about 135 international stations. 'Wealth: A ministry official estimates the ministry's annual revenue at 70 million [dollars] . (...)

TBN reaches millions of viewers on more than 5,000 TV stations and 33 international satellites around the world. 'Wealth: The Crouches and their son Paul Crouch Jr. said they earned a total of 855,000 [dollars] last year. TBN's annual income exceeds 100 million [dollars] a year, according to the Los Angeles Times.

In 2001, the couple bought a 5 million [dollar] oceanfront estate in Newport Beach, Calif. (...) 'Creflo Dollar 'Headquarters: College Park, Ga. 'Reach: Dollar's "Changing Your World" TV program on TBN reaches 150 countries. 'Wealth: The ministry's income is unavailable, but newspaper accounts say the ministry paid 18 million [dollars] in cash for his new 8,000-seat World Changers Church International on the southern edge of Atlanta.

'Marilyn Hickey 'Headquarters: Denver 'Reach: Her TV show, "Today with Marilyn," on the TBN and Black Entertainment Television networks can be seen around the world. She has offices in England, South Africa and Australia, and is on the board of Oral Roberts University. 'Wealth: Her ministry occupies a 260,000-square-foot former shopping mall in Denver. No information on ministry or her personal wealth is available. 'In the news: She has been dubbed the "fairy godmother of the word-faith movement" and "the mistress of mail-order madness," by the Texas-based Christian Sentinel, a ministry that monitors what it calls "religious deception." Hickey got the "mistress" name for her use of trinkets - blessed cornmeal, cloths, seeds and coins - sent out to followers to urge them to send in money.

The home includes a dock, spa, pool and gazebo. 'In the news: Howard-Browne has called himself the "bartender of holy laughter." Holy laughter was a controversial movement that swept evangelical circles in the mid-1990s. He would walk on stage laughing uncontrollably. The congregation would begin laughing. Howard-Browne would sweep his arm toward the crowd. People would appear "drunk on the Holy Spirit" and slide out of their chairs or dance in the aisles.' ____________________ St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 11/18/2003 (http://www.stltoday.com/) --Radioman2 |

1066 | Are we back to the absurd view...? | 2 Timothy | Radioman2 | 80908 | ||
Are we back to the absurd view that the KJV is the Bible of Paul and the apostles? Many people, such as the KJV-Only advocates, are scared to death that someone might get hold of a so-called corrupt Bible translation that will somehow deceive them into committing apostasy or heresy. The inspiration of the Bible, the deity of Christ, the incarnation, the atonement, God's plan of salvation, the Second Coming of Christ, etc. can be proven using the KJV, NKJV, NIV, ASV, RSV, NASB, or any number of other translations. The idea that the same passage in one version will be translated to have an opposite meaning in another verison is pure nonsense. I see no need for people to become hysterical in their fierce opposition to this translation or their fanatical defense of that translation. Moreover, the differences in the wording of various translations is due more to the aim of the translators (to produce a word-for-word or thought-for thought translation) than to differences in the underlying Greek texts, which are minor. |

1069 | Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? | 2 Tim 2:15 | Radioman2 | 80127 | ||
Baptism-What Does the Bible Teach? - - - - - - - - - - 'If you think you're on safe theological ground because of a pet verse, better look twice. Simple prooftexting has its perils.' - - - - - - - - - - 'Is baptism necessary for salvation? Is it necessary to be water baptized after one's profession of faith before one can receive the gift of forgiveness and new life through regeneration? Or is baptism a proper act of obedience after one becomes a Christian? 'In the first case the order would be faith, then baptism, resulting in salvation. In the second case the order would be faith, resulting in salvation, followed by baptism. 'Verses seem to support both sides. In Acts 2:38 we read, "And Peter said to them, 'Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'" If the repentant believer is baptized "for the forgiveness of sins," then repentance and belief are not enough. The order here appears to be faith, then baptism, resulting in salvation. 'This verse seems very straightforward. To some, simply quoting it is enough. The problem comes when one flips over a few pages to Acts 10:44-48. (...) 'Notice what's happening. Peter preaches the Gospel to Cornelius and his household. In the midst of Peter's sermon, the Holy Spirit falls on those listening and they manifest spiritual gifts. 'This is irrefutable evidence to Peter that these Gentiles have "received the Holy Spirit just as [he] did." Other verses make it clear that possessing the Holy Spirit in the New Testament sense is proof of salvation (see Ephesians 1:13-14 and Romans 8:9). 'After these Gentiles are regenerated, Peter announces it is appropriate for them to be baptized. The order in Acts 10 is faith, resulting in salvation, followed by baptism. 'Here's the problem. Apparently Acts 2 teaches that salvation comes after water baptism, and Acts 10 indicates it can come before. This is a contradiction. Unless these passages are harmonized, merely asserting one verse against another actually does violence to the authority of God's Word. 'This is when we must ask our question: Are either of the passages equivocal? That is, are there any legitimate alternative readings? 'The Acts 10 passage seems completely inflexible in its meaning. The sequence of events leaves no question (though I'm open to suggestions) that the order is faith/regeneration/baptism. Peter's response is unmistakable. 'Further, when the Jews later take issue with Peter about his involvement with Gentiles, he simply recounted the event and they were satisfied (Acts 11:1-18). In this passage regeneration clearly follows faith, not baptism: 'If God therefore gave to them the same gift as He gave to us also after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God's way?" And when they heard this, they quieted down, and glorified God, saying, "Well then, God has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life." (Acts 11:17-18) 'Notice baptism isn't even mentioned here, only the salient details of regeneration: repentance, faith, and salvation. By all appearances, Acts 10 is unequivocal. Baptism isn't necessary for salvation. 'What about in Acts 2? Is it possible this passage means something different than it appears to at first? On closer inspection the answer is yes. The key is in the grammar. 'In Acts 2, the command to repent is in the plural, as is the reference to those who receive the forgiveness of sins (i.e., "All of you repent so all of you can receive forgiveness"). The command to be baptized, however, is in the singular (i.e., "Each of you should be baptized"). 'This makes it clear that repentance, not baptism, leads to salvation, since an individual's baptism cannot cause the salvation of the entire group. Individual (singular) baptisms do not result in corporate (plural) salvation. 'As it turns out, then, the phrase "for the forgiveness of sins" modifies repentance, not baptism. A more precise rendering might be, "Let all of you repent so all of you can receive forgiveness, and then each who has should be baptized." 'If there is any question about which translation of Acts 2:38 is appropriate, Acts 10 and 11 give us the answer. Clearly, Peter's Gentiles were not getting baptized in order to bring about their salvation. They were baptized as a result of salvation. The clear (unequivocal) teaching in Acts 10 and 11 informs the ambiguous (equivocal) nature of Acts 2:38.' - - - - - - - - - - To read the entire ariticle, go to: (http://www.str.org/free/solid_ground/SG9909.htm) |

1073 | Better to remain silent and be thought a | 2 Tim 2:23 | Radioman2 | 61551 | ||
To whom it may concern: Are you proficient in the Greek language? (How many years did you study New Testament Greek at the university level?) Have you studied Old Testament Hebrew? What about Aramaic? If you cannot answer in the affirmative, then you are not qualified to second guess the interpretation of someone who is proficient in one or more of these languages. Reading a dozen medical or health articles in Reader's Digest does not qualify you to second guess your doctor. Watching every episode of "L.A. Law" does not prepare you to pass the bar exam and set up your own practice. Subscribing to "Psychology Today" doesn't mean you are ready to start your own counselling service. Nor does the ability to quote a dozen Bible verses and outshout the other guy anoint you to serve as a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, an instructor of the foolish, or a teacher of babes. In the event that you have an irresistible urge to proclaim that another man is incorrect, wrong or in error, you need to know the subject as well as, if not better than, the other man. Before you blurt out your omniscient pronouncements, just remember: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." |

1074 | Idle speculation w/o scriptural support | 2 Tim 2:23 | Radioman2 | 61556 | ||
Here at the Forum you will find all the bricks without straw, clouds without water, and idle speculation without Scripture that you'll ever need. ------------- Why, oh why, are people so FASCINATED with speculation about what the Bible does NOT say? Shouldn't they be watching "Unsolved Mysteries" or one of those TV shows? Does anyone here have any respect for the silence of the Bible? When one speculates on what the Bible does not say, who is edified, who is encouraged, who is comforted? People need to study and learn what the Bible DOES say. Then they might have less questions about and interest in what it doesn't say. Be assured: the Bible is complete. God has not, as some have suggested, left anything out that should be there or made any mistakes in the Bible. To go on and on and on about what the Bible does not say is to cast doubt upon the inspiration and sufficiency of Scripture. Scripture surely would not be sufficient if people had to make up 1,001 questions about what it does not include. One may get some kind of kick out of questioning the reliability or sufficiency of Scripture, but all one does is create doubt and confusion for seekers and babes in Christ. And by a strange twist of logic some on this forum have claimed that this is somehow helpful in furthering the gospel and the kingdom of God. That somehow speculating on trivial matters on which the Bible is silent is going to strengthen someone's faith in God or in the essentials of the Christian faith. We ought to read the Bible with an open mind and heart. Be willing to obey what we find there. Accept it for what it actually is, the very words of God Himself. "Therefore, the person who rejects [the Bible] does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit." One more time: according to the Lockman Foundation, this is neither a discussion group, a survey, or an opinion poll. If one finds the Bible insufficient to satisfy all their curiosity, maybe they ought to discard it and turn to the Book of Mormon, the Watchtower Society, the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, or some of the more colorful and imaginative postings here at the forum. All of the above are equally spurious, fanciful and uninspired. Here at the Forum you will find all the bricks without straw, clouds without water, and idle speculation without Scripture that you'll ever need. Selah. (Pause and think about that.) |

Hopefully 95 percent of "the church" does not have twisted beliefs. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that 95 percent of professing Christians do not read the Bible regularly. And those who are unfamiliar with the Bible are those most likely to fall for bad doctrine. Radioman2 |
