1201 | What is a "carnal" Christian? | 1 John 3:10 | Radioman2 | 92118 | ||
CurtMan: I have posted additional information on the subject of the carnal Christian. To read those posts, go to: ID# 92042 and ID# 92052. To read the article that I quoted in those posts, go to: (www.founders.org/FJ16/article2.html) and (www.founders.org/FJ17/article2.html) Following are additional quotes from that article which were not posted previously: 'The question we have to consider is: Does the Bible divide Christians into two categories? This is the issue at the heart of the "Carnal Christian" teaching.' ____________________ 'It is one thing to speak and teach that Christians have carnal out-breaks, which is biblical, but it is another thing altogether to make a third class or category of men--"Carnal Christians."' ____________________ 'To interpret 1 Corinthians 3:1-4, therefore, in such a way as to divide men into three classes [--natural man, carnal man and spiritual man--] is to violate the cardinal rule of interpretation.' ____________________ 'The most doctrinal portion of the New Testament is the epistle to the Romans, and on this all reasonable Bible scholars and theologians would agree. Most scholars (if not all) would further agree that Paul's epistle to the Galatians is the second most doctrinal portion of the New Testament. The first epistle to the church at Corinth is primarily dealing with practical problems in the church:' 'These two passages [Romans 8:1-9 and Galatians 5:17-24] simply set out what the rest of the Bible clearly teaches, namely, that there are only two classes or categories of men and within these two classes there may be many shades and degrees. To interpret 1 Corinthians 3:1-4, therefore, in such a way as to divide men into three classes [--natural man, carnal man and spiritual man--] is to violate the cardinal rule of interpretation. This rule requires us to interpret all single passages in the light of the whole, to interpret all subordinate passages in the light of the leading truth, or to interpret all obscure passages in the light of clear passages.' ****************************** To answer your question about locating a post by its ID#: On the Home Page, in the upper right-hand corner you will find a box labeled "Quick Search".

1203 | How do you find the Lord?? | 1 John 4:7 | Radioman2 | 86596 | ||
Redbone: 'God’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith.' (www.godssimpleplan.org/gsps-english.html) AMPLIFIED John 3:16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in *(trusts in, clings to, relies on)* Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. (Emphasis added.) 'Belief in the N.T. denotes more than intellectual assent to a fact. The word (Gk. pistis, noun; pisteuo, verb) means *adherence to, committal to, faith in, reliance upon, trust in* a person or an object, and this involves not only the consent of the mind, but an act of the heart and will of the subject. "Whosoever believeth in him" is equivalent to "whosoever trusts in or commits himself to him [Christ]." Belief, then is synonymous with faith, which in the N.T. consists of believing and receiving what God has revealed' (New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967. Emphasis added). I urge you to go now to (www.godssimpleplan.org/gsps-english.html) and read the entire page, God's Simple Plan of Salvation. Radioman2 |

1204 | put 1Jn 5:7 BACK where it belongs! | 1 John 5:7 | Radioman2 | 98628 | ||
Is the KJV the Bible of the Apostle Paul? 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 Trinity, 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. --Radioman2 |

1208 | "It is never done in the New Testament" | 1 John 5:14 | Radioman2 | 94092 | ||
"It is never done in the New Testament" I am not teaching that we should not pray in the name of Jesus. What I said is: 'PRAYING in the name of Jesus doesn't mean SAYING, "In the name of Jesus."' Praying '"in the name of Jesus" means something different than repeating those words.' '...you will never see a New Testament prayer that ends with the phrase "In Jesus' name. Amen," even though the same text teaches you to pray in Jesus' name. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to draw the conclusion that we are, first, to pray in the name of Jesus, and second, praying in the name of Jesus doesn't mean ending your prayer with the phrase "In the name of Jesus. Amen," because it is never done in the New Testament.'

1209 | sin - death or not | 1 John 5:16 | Radioman2 | 80048 | ||
Greek: "sin," not "a sin." It is not one particular sin. "sin leading to death" 1. "The Greek reads *sin*, not *a sin*" 2. Physical death. "sin to the point where physical death results" If anyone sees his brother [believer] committing a sin that does not [lead to] death (the extinguishing of life), he will pray and [God] will give him life [yes, He will grant life to all those whose sin is not one leading to death]. There is a sin [that leads] to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. (1 John 5:16 Amplified New Testament) *sin not leading to death* (NASB) "Believers can sin to the point where physical death results as the judgment of God (compare 1 Cor 11:30). The Greek reads *sin*, not *a sin*, in vv. 16 and 17" (p. 1885, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody, 1976, 1978). the *sin leading to death.* "Such a sin could be any premeditated and unconfessed sin that causes the Lord to determine to end a believer's life. It is not one particular sin like homosexuality or lying, but whatever sin is the final one in the tolerance of God. Failure to repent of and forsake sin may eventually lead to physical death as a judgment of God (Acts 5:1-11; 1 Cor 5:5; 11:30)" (p. 1974, MacArthur Study Bible, Word 1997). What is God's purpose in such a judgment? 1 Cor 5:5 (Amplified New Testament) You are to deliver this man over to Satan for physical discipline . . . that [his] spirit may [yet] be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. |

1210 | the wicked one does not touch [him] | 1 John 5:18 | Radioman2 | 103065 | ||
We know [absolutely] that anyone born of God does not [deliberately and knowingly] practice committing sin, but the One Who was begotten of God carefully watches over and protects him [Christ's divine presence within him preserves him against the evil], and the wicked one does not lay hold (get a grip) on him or touch [him].

1211 | why I need to contend for faith? | Jude 1:3 | Radioman2 | 83668 | ||
Challengeheart: You ask: "Why I need to contend for faith?" The question is actually answered in verses 3 and 4 of Jude. Taken together, these two verses expand on the idea of contending for THE faith. Note that here it is not that we are to contend for 'faith' (as though it were our own personal faith, our personal ability or capacity to believe), but for 'the faith'. The next logical question would be: In the context, what is meant by the term 'the faith'? In the NASB, it is translated 'the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints.' AMPLIFIED: 'the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints [the faith which is that sum of Christian belief which was delivered verbally to the holy people of God].' NLT: 'the truth of the Good News.' GOD'S WORD Translation: 'the Christian faith that was entrusted to God's holy people once for all time.' Now that we have a clearer understanding of what is meant by 'the faith,' let us consider WHY we are to contend for the faith, according to the Scriptures. NASB Jude 1 3 Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints. 4 For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. AMPLIFIED Jude 1 3 Beloved, my whole concern was to write to you in regard to our common salvation. [But] I found it necessary and was impelled to write you and urgently appeal to and exhort [you] to contend for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints [the faith which is that sum of Christian belief which was delivered verbally to the holy people of God]. 4 For certain men have crept in stealthily [gaining entrance secretly by a side door]. Their doom was predicted long ago, ungodly (impious, profane) persons who pervert the grace (the spiritual blessing and favor) of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). NLT Jude 1 3 Dearly loved friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the truth of the Good News. God gave this unchanging truth once for all time to his holy people. 4 I say this because some godless people have wormed their way in among you, saying that God's forgiveness allows us to live immoral lives. The fate of such people was determined long ago, for they have turned against our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. GOD'S WORD Translation Jude 1 3 Dear friends, I had intended to write to you about the salvation we share. But something has come up. It demands that I write to you and encourage you to continue your fight for the Christian faith that was entrusted to God's holy people once for all time. 4 Some people have slipped in among you unnoticed. Not long ago they were condemned in writing for the following reason: They are people to whom God means nothing. They use God's kindness as an excuse for sexual freedom and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Note also that 'those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation' are FALSE TEACHERS -- 'certain persons [who] have crept in unnoticed', 'ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.'

1213 | MOSES WAS BURIED IN MT NEBO | Jude 1:9 | Radioman2 | 80712 | ||
Deut. 34:5-6 (ESV) So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord, [6] and he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-peor; but no one knows the place of his burial to this day. You write: 'Moses and Elijah still have to die.' The scripture says: "Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab." So why does he still have to die in the Tribulation? You write: 'Moses' body was taken up by Michael right after he died.See Jude1:9.' Jude 1:9 (ESV) But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you." OK, we've seen Jude 1:9. Where in this verse does it say a word about Moses' body being "taken up" by Michael? The verse says nothing of the kind. So what happened to the body of Moses? He was buried. Buried -- not "taken up." The Bible tells us in plain English, 'he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab.' I'll tell you what is wilder than the Bible -- it is making assertions about the Bible without any scriptural support. |

You write: "Dear Brother,You do know that Moses and Elijah will be the 2 witnesses in the Tribulation?" No, I don't know that. And neither do you. Since the Bible does not give us the NAMES of the two witnesses, any attempt to identify them by name is based on speculation. |

"Hate my shirt?" NASB Jude 1:23 " . . . hating even the garment polluted by the flesh." AMPLIFIED Jude 1:23 " . . . loathing even the garment spotted by the flesh and polluted by their sensuality." Zechariah 3:2-4 English Standard Version (ESV) And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?" Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments. And the angel said to those who were standing before him, "Remove the filthy garments from him." And to him he said, "Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments." |

"Be tender with sinners, but not soft on sin." - - - - - - - - - - - - - Just Read Mark: THE MESSAGE "Be tender with sinners, but not soft on sin." I would say this paraphrase gets right to the heart of the meaning of the verse. Also, I find these two translations to be helpful in clarifying the meaning of Jude 1:22-23. GOD'S WORD Translation Jude1 22 Show mercy to those who have doubts. 23 Save others by snatching them from the fire [of hell]. Show mercy to others, even though you are afraid that you might be stained by their sinful lives. New Living Translation (NLT) Jude 1 22 Show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. 23 Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. There are still others to whom you need to show mercy, but be careful that you aren't contaminated by their sins. Grace and peace, Radioman2 |

1218 | Is Saddam the anti-christ? | Revelation | Radioman2 | 78871 | ||
Welcome to the forum! Don't be deceived about the identity of the antichrist. Over time false prophets and sensationalists have been speculating as to who the antichrist will be. They have come up with everything from Hitler to Stalin to Prince Charles of England. No offense to you is intended, Orvee. But just because the Left Behind books seem to promote the doctrine of a pre-trib, pre-antichrist rapture, this does not mean the doctrine is true. On the other hand, it is absurd that someone on this forum (not you, sir) keeps making remarks about writers of fiction, remarks that imply that the Rapture, Great Tribulation, etc. are inventions of writers of fiction. To imply that these doctrines were unknown until the publication of the Left Behind series in the 1990s is absurd. It is totally ludicrous. |

You write: 'The comment in the previous note that "The Witnesses believe they are the only "true" Christians can be applied to most religions. Most religions believe that the beliefs of their people is the right one or "the truth". I don't know that criticizing any religion is what we can find most beneficial' - - - - - - - - - - According to Jehovah's Witness' teaching, 'Throughout history there have been faithful Jehovah's witnesses who have managed to keep The Truth in spite of the "demonic" doctrine of Trinitarianism that has permeated the Christian church in "Christendom." Christendom is filled with pastors who are antichrists, in churches run by Satan, and who support the earthly governments which are all of the devil. In other words, all of Christianity is false and only the Jehovah's Witness "theocratic" organization lead by several men in Brooklyn, New York, is true.' (http://www.carm.org/jw/nutshell.htm) |

Galatians 1:6-9 (ESV) I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— [7] not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. [8] But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. [9] As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. The Good News Bible in Today's English Version 2 Peter 2:1 False prophets appeared in the past among the people, and in the same way false teachers will appear among you. They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines . . . 2:3 In their greed these false teachers will make a profit out of telling you made-up stories. For a long time now their Judge has been ready, and their Destroyer has been wide awake! 2:10 . . . These false teachers are bold and arrogant, and show no respect for the glorious beings above; instead, they insult them. 2:12 But these people act by instinct, like wild animals born to be captured and killed; they attack with insults anything they do not understand . . . 2:15 They have left the straight path and have lost their way; . . . 2:17 These people are like dried-up springs, like clouds blown along by a storm; God has reserved a place for them in the deepest darkness. 2:18 They make proud and stupid statements . . . to trap those who are just beginning to escape from among people who live in error. 1 John 4:1-3 (ESV) Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. [2] By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, [3] and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 2 John 1:7-11 (ESV) For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. [8] Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward. [9] Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. [10] If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, [11] for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works. |
