1801 | why is anyone to blame for jesus' death | Acts 2:1 | BradK | 74996 | ||
EdB, You are right, my friend:-) I was limiting the scope of my answer to just the "national" implications of the Jews' rejection of their Messiah. However, in the larger context I absolutely agree. 1 John 2:2 says,"...and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world."

1802 | is baptism necessary for salvation? | 1 Pet 3:21 | BradK | 74604 | ||
uni soldier, So, are you saying that one is saved by a "work" and not faith? Would you care to clarify? Also, then what of Titus 3:5,"not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit," Without scriptural support, your words do not carry much weight:-) Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

1803 | Was Calvin just a slick lawyer? | Matt 27:3 | BradK | 74561 | ||
Forum: I offer this soley as a source, not in any way to add fuel to the fire:-) Pertinent to this discussion is what Phillip Schaff writes of Calvin and his education: "Calvin received the best education—in the humanities, law, philosophy, and theology—which France at that time could give. He studied successively in the three leading universities of Orleans, Bourges, and Paris, from 1528 to 1533, first for the priesthood, then, at the wish of his father, for the legal profession, which promised a more prosperous career." "His principal teacher in Greek and Hebrew was Melchior Volmar (Wolmar), a German humanist of Rottweil, a pupil of Lefèvre, and successively professor in the universities of Orleans and Bourges, and, at last, at Tuebingen, where he died in 1561. He openly sympathized with the Lutheran Reformation, and may have exerted some influence upon his pupil in this direction, but we have no authentic information about it. Calvin was very intimate with him, and could hardly avoid discussing with him the religious question which was then shaking all Europe. In grateful remembrance of his services he dedicated to him his Commentary on the Second Epistle to the Corinthians."

1804 | discuss filling of Spirit/tongues gift | Acts | BradK | 74490 | ||
Cajam, In reading your response I can't tell whether you're asking a question or just making a statement. Could you clarify what you mean when you say, "All of Paul teaching in 1cor. with the exception of 1cor.13:8 should not be confused with the Baptizm of the Holy Ghost spoken of in the book of Acts 1:5." What of 1 Cor. 12:13 and how does it relate? Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

1805 | Is this a prophecy about Messiah? | Gen 49:10 | BradK | 74417 | ||
EdB, Please forgive my oversight! Yes, I stand corrected and did in fact overlook including this important preceding paragraph:-) No intended injustice to the very fine and time-tested JFB! Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

1806 | Questions??? | Matt 27:3 | BradK | 74234 | ||
thetowns: It is an interesting and not unanimously agreed upon question. I too take the view that Judas never repented- simply because we don't have any scriptural basis for knowing he did! However, I do believe that the passage you cited from Matt. 27:3-5 does shed some light when understood by 2 Cor.7:10: "For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death." I believe Judas had regret and the "sorrow of the world producing death"- his own. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

Brother Billy Joe, I certainly do not believe I've taken ANY scripture out of context to destroy the authority of the 10 Commandments! Please show me how Romans 6:14 then is not scripture? You ask,"Please tell me what scripture refutes the authority of the 10 Commandments and how can I keep Sunday still read 1 John 3:4 with a clean heart before God?" Well, I would offer that your interpretation of 1 John 3:4 is rather narrow:-) I believe it best be interpreted in light of 1 John 3:4-9 as well as the rest of the NT- especially the Pauline Epistles. In direct answer to your question I offer the following scriptures. Romans 10:4,1 Cor. 1:30, 2 Cor. 5:21, and Gal. 3:13, 21-22. Brother, in all seriousness, I can only echo the words of Paul in Gal.4:21, " Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the Law?" As for me, I thank God for His GRACE! I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain." Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

1808 | Holy Spirit without evidence of tongues? | Acts | BradK | 74080 | ||
Hi cajam, You state that,"A better question may be,can one receive the Holy Ghost without speaking in tongues?" My answer would be found in 1 Cor. 12:29-30! An even better question would be, Do you seek the more excellent way and pursue love? Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

Dear inajon, I'm still not abundantly clear on what you're trying to say. How does Daniel 2:43 in context relate to your response or this discussion? Your syntax is very difficult to understand:-) Speaking The Truth in Love, BradK |

1810 | To whom do we belong? | Bible general Archive 1 | BradK | 73757 | ||
Both Joe and John Reformed have spoken with wisdom. I would much prefer to "stand on the shoulders of giants" verse reinventing the wheel! I believe Proverbs speaks volumes to this topic. Prov. 1:5, "A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel," Prov. 9:9, "Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser, Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning." Prov. 13:20, "He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will suffer harm." Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

1811 | Tongues?Ecstatic Utterances or Languages | 2 Corinthians | BradK | 73694 | ||
kingte1234: You said, "even Paul did not know for sure if he would make it to heaven, so how can we be so sure. He can bless you with all the gifts, but if yonot producing fruit you will be lost." Could you clarify this by providing some scriptural support for your contention? We know Paul wrote in Romans 8:38-39: 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Brother Billy Joe: I'm curious, as the Apostle Paul says that we are no longer under law but under grace in Romans 6:14. How would you then reconcile what you stated with Colossians 2:16-17, "Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day— 17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ."

1813 | Are Tounges a sign of Spiritual Baptism | Acts 2:4 | BradK | 73384 | ||
Dear Inmyheart, I have most certainly not misunderstood 1 Cor. 14:-)However, I'll simply agree to disagree on this matter. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

1814 | Are Tounges a sign of Spiritual Baptism | Acts 2:4 | BradK | 73345 | ||
Inmyheart, It is not my intent to "debate" but rather to discuss. You still did not address the specific grammatical problems I brought up :-) If Jesus Christ said believers would, then how are we to align that with scripture where Paul clearly says "not all have the gift of tongues"? Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

1815 | Are Tounges a sign of Spiritual Baptism | Acts 2:4 | BradK | 73330 | ||
Inmyheart, I would have to challenge your answer here. First off, you ask, "What is the will of God?" Well, we know it is the will of God for us to give thanks in everything (1 Thess. 5:18).From a scriptural standpoint do we know it to be Gods' will for us to speak in tongues? Secondly, the focal point of Pauls' argument is found in 1 Cor. 12:31- 14:1. What is "the more excellent way"? LOVE! What does he command us through the use of the imperative in 14:1? To pursue LOVE! I would righfully propose that it is Gods' WILL for us to love one another as opposed to speaking in tongues. (1 Cor. 13, Gal.5:14, Matt. 22:36-40) Lets look at 1 Cor. 12:29-30: 29 All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? 30 All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they? All four of these questions in verse 29 have the negative Greek particle preceding them, which means the the answer to each question is no. Verse 30 has the same grammatical construction as the preceding one; therefore, we can affirm that all do not have the gifts of healing, all do not speak in tongues, and all do not have the ability to interpret languages. "Does God want you to speak in tongues? ABSOLUTELY!" Your rather unequivocally strong answer does not appear to me to have strong Biblical nor grammatical support:-) Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

1816 | Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? | Rom 10:9 | BradK | 73109 | ||
CDBJ, A very succinct response. Amen! I think the importance of 1 Cor. 12:13 is often overlooked:"For by ONE SPIRIT we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." A fundamental rebuttal for "requiring" baptism as necessary for salvation can be found in Rom.11:6, "But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace."

1817 | No healing? why? | 2 Cor 1:4 | BradK | 73072 | ||
EdB, Well said! I hope that your words of wisdom are received in the manner in which I presume they are written- in love. You correctly state,"I think the answer to your question is there is not many Christians that oppose the belief in divine healing. What most oppose are the false teachers and charlatans that are involved in it." Amen, I concur wholeheartedly. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
||||||
1818 | No healing? why? | 2 Cor 1:4 | BradK | 72900 | ||
Dear Pistos, While I'll simply agree to disagree with the Word of Faith theology, one of your statements deserves elaboration. You state,"You should never base your theology on someone elses success or failure." I quite agree, and would add that ones' theology should be based upon the Word of God not experience! (Heb.4:12) Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

1819 | Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? | Rom 10:9 | BradK | 72742 | ||
Disciplerami, My dear brother, I would offer that your response to Tim was very harsh and uncalled for. This "person" on the Forum sees no such thing as "Tim's mangling of scripture". I rather concur and feel that he has provided both a sound basis and proper exegetical response to his words. As to respect, it is most certainly earned. Our brother Tim has my respect in this matter as well as others pertaining to Greek Grammar. By your own words, you have neither demonstrated "talent" nor tact in your response:-) Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

1820 | who are the 144,000 | Rev 7:3 | BradK | 72527 | ||
The problem with the number is that it is clearly symbolic, but the question is, Symbolic of what? Three major scholarly options have been given. The first is that this figure is symbolic of a group of Jews whom God will redeem at the end of the age. The second is that this is symbolic of a group of martyrs whom God preserves for martyrdom. The third is that this number is symbolic of the whole of the church, which God will protect through the tribulation at the end of the age. Only an examination of the data will show which of these is most likely to be correct. (Walter C. Kaiser, Hard Sayings of the Bible, Page 761 (Downers Grove, Il: InterVarsity, 1997, c1996).
