401 | does God still send prophets? | 2 Cor 11:13 | BradK | 214522 | ||
Cowboy: Your intial supposition is wrong- I bear no "false witness"! Regardless, the burden of proof is not on me! The are numerous resources- including written and statements by the man himself that prove his delusion. You're free to check them out! As for me, I preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified!

Hello Amo, Apparently, I'm not clear with where you're coming from? Not being familiar with the Peshitta, it's primacy or history, your explanation eludes me? Regardless, I'm failing to see how this really sheds light upon or otherwise answers the original question of what The Alpha and Omega means! No common English translation- and certainly not Koine Greek NT- reads, "Aleph-Tav", so your reply strikes me as a bit esoteric:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello lionheart, No, as far as I'm aware, Bruce's book is only available through normal booksellers. However, here's a link that may be of help: www.bible-researcher.com/canon.html. It contains an article by Bruce titled, "The New Testament Canon". The rest of the works looks solid. I hope this helps, BradK |

407 | why was Jabez named sorrow maker | 1 Chr 2:55 | BradK | 214276 | ||
Hello MJH, Yes, the name Jabez equals "sorrow". As Strongs' notes, it's "from an unused root probably meaning sorrow". Beyond that we sinply have no additonal info:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

408 | What does judgement look like | 2 Cor 5:10 | BradK | 214049 | ||
Hi Bill, I think you have the cart in front of the horse here? Faith is not predicated on our works, i.e "obedience", but rather the completed work of Christ on the cross! Eph. 2:8-9 states, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." (NASB) I don't buy a works-based righteousness:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

409 | What does judgement look like | 2 Cor 5:10 | BradK | 213983 | ||
Hello bill..., If I might add it is not a matter so much of what- but Whom we have believed! John 3:36 - "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."(NASB) In Him, BradK |

410 | The people that never heard of Jesus? | Rom 1:20 | BradK | 213841 | ||
Hello Vintage, Your statements leave me a bit puzzled. My understanding- as well stated by Beja- is that we are all sinners, all guilty and deserve hell. Paul lays out the doctine of condemnation succinctly in Rom. 1:18-3:23. I have 2 questions for you: 1.You said, "They fall under a different provision of God for the express circumstance you are describing." Exactly what different provisions are there? 2. You also stated, "God will judge the hearts of men, that never had the opportunity, to accept Jesus Christ as Savior." What scripture(s) would support this? This statement would imply that God has two standards? I don't reach that conclusion from my reading and undrerstanding of scripture- especially Romans! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

411 | Spiritual Bessings in the Heavenlies | Eph 1:3 | BradK | 213735 | ||
Hello time... Welcome to the Forum. The post you've responded to is several years old, and therefore unlikely the original poster will reply! Certainly the promise given Abraham is true (Gen. 17:4ff). However, I don't think Paul is referring to this promise in Eph. 1:3. First, I see the church as separate from Israel. Second, the Church has blessings that Israel never had (Eph. 3:3-14). Which is why Paul could exclaim, "Christ is us (throught the Spirit), the only hope of glory (Gal. 2:20). Moreover, Israels' blessing were essentially earthly, while those of the Church spiritual! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

413 | Who are the kings of the North and South | Dan 1:1 | BradK | 213322 | ||
Hi crk, I don't think a reference to the movie 300 is entirely appropriate? Here's why: As this is a Study Bible Forum, our sole source of authority for our walk and practice is God's Holy Word! Our gracious host, Lockman asks that "Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing the Bible's sole authority (sola Scriptura), Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. Whenever possible, postings should include supporting Bible references." Hopefully this will be of help to you:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

414 | where is daniels book | Dan 1:1 | BradK | 213321 | ||
Hello crk, Yes, I should have referenced the passage- Dan. 12:4. Here's how it reads: "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase." (NASB) Nothing is said about- and therefore no evidence exists- that it will be held by human hands! Scripture doesn't say, so we don't know. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

fwiaskycap, I really believe this topic has reached it's end! Unless you take the time, research your position, and provide the full support for it, I strongly suggest you move off this topic. If you can't (or won't) substantiate your position- and you haven't in the least- then please drop it. With all due respect, you've carried on for well over a week, and have been asked numerous times to show and provide solid support, not just a spinkling or verses pulled out of the Bible. That's what's known as proof-texting. Context does matter! Go back and read my post dated 1/24/09 and the post about Doctrine of Dreams. May they be insructive to you.

416 | The Doctrine of Dreams | Heb 4:12 | BradK | 213220 | ||
The Doctrine of Dreams: The Doctrine of Dreams in the Old Testament- Number of Dreams. There are sixteen dreams recorded in the Old Testament (Gen. 20:3, 6; Gen. 28:12; Gen. 31:10–11, 24; Gen. 37:5, 9; Gen. 40:5; Gen. 41:1, 5; Judg. 7:13; 1 Kings 3:5; Dan. 2:1; Dan. 4:5; Dan. 7:1). Purpose of dreams. In the Old Testament God often used dreams to reveal His will. God promised to show His will unto the prophets in dreams (Num. 12:6). Job said that “God speaketh…in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed” (Job 22:14–15). In half of the Old Testament dreams the source of the dream is specifically stated to be God. Through these dreams God revealed His will to the dreamers. While God sometimes spoke in dreams, not all dreams were attributable to Him. Dreams whose contents did not accord with reality were obviously not from God. One of the tests of a true prophet was whether his dreams came true (Deut. 13:1–5). The Israelites were warned against false dreamers (Jer. 29:8; Zech. 10:2). Dreams were inferior in comparison to having God’s Word (Gen. 12:6–8; Jer. 23:28) The Doctrine of Dreams in the New Testament- There are two Greek words translated dream. One word, honar, occurs six times in the New Testament. It occurs only in Matthew. Each time it is translated “dream” in the King James Version. Another Greek word for dream, enupnion, found only in Acts 2:17. It is translated dream in the King James Version. The verbal form of enupnion (enupnioazo)occurs in Acts 2:17 and Jude 8. Dreams or dreamers are thus referred to in only three New Testament books: Matthew, Acts, and Jude. . Interestingly, Jesus never mentioned dreams. There is no symbology in New Testament dreams and therefore no need of an interpreter. In the New Testament there is one citation of an Old Testament passage dealing with the subject of dreams (Joel 2:28). In this citation Peter at Pentecost recites to the throng the prophecy concerning the activity of God’s outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:16–21). The Doctrine of Dreams Today- Scientific research has shown that everyone dreams every night. It has also shown that dreams can be caused by a variety of conditions such as poor blood circulation, improper ventilation, and uncomfortable sleeping position, or overeating. Sigmund Freud spoke of “those disagreeable dreams one has only when one’s stomach is upset.” Obviously dreams have a diverse etiology. As was seen in the foregoing discussion, in Biblical times some dreams were caused by God. However, does God give dreams to people today in post-Biblical times? Or are dreams today better explained by other conditions and causes? Thomas Aquinas is exemplary of those who believe that dreams in the Christian era sometimes come from God. He said that dreams are: “…sometimes referable to God, who reveals certain things to men in their dreams by the ministry of angels, according to Num. 12.5. …Accordingly we must say there is no lawful divination in making use of dreams for the foreknowledge of the future, so long as those dreams are due to divine revelation….” A. J. Gordon did not claim that extra-Biblical dreams reveal the future. Nevertheless, he did agree with Thomas Aqainas in allowing that dreams may come from God. He wrote of the effect of one of his dreams and then gave instances of other dreams which had proved potent factors in human affairs. “Those who are familiar with the history of Catherine of Siena know how repeated and striking were her visions by day and by night; and readers of the life of Richard Baxter will recall his marked experience, and vivid vision of lost opportunities which so quickened his afteractivity; Christmas Evans, also, that prince of Welsh preachers…always believed that…dreams were God’s messengers sent to communicate to him some of the mightiest impulses that swayed his life. Both Thomas Aquinas and A. J. Gordon believed that dreams in the post-Biblical era could come from God. However, it is doubtful that God has communicated with men by dreams since the close of the canon. Arthur B. Fowler says that God “could reveal his will in dreams today, but the written Word of God, and the indwelling Holy Spirit have made dreams of this sort unnecessary.” There is no Biblical evidence for the contention that God speaks today in dreams. God speaks today in His Word (2 Tim. 3:16–17). He has given the Holy Spirit to every Christian to lead him into the truth (John 16:13; 1 Cor. 6:19–20). With the Bible in his hand and the Holy Spirit in his heart, the Christian has ample provision for guidance into God’s perfect will. [The Doctrine of Dreams, Richard L.

417 | Love for all, judge not anyone | OT general | BradK | 213202 | ||
Cheri, Could you possibly clarify your statement, "Even He could not do all of the Law for much it did not apply to Him - so He didn't fulfill All of the law."? What is your thought here? Jesus Himself said, "Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." (Matt. 3:15) If He did not fulfill all the law, then He did not fulfill ALL righteousness! He thereby would not be sinless and able to be our Mediator! Does not Matt. 5:17 clearly state, "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello kc, I've said all I intend to on this matter. If you like, please go back and re-read all his posts! I'm not the one dismissing, down-playing or challenging the authority of scripture! Your questions should be directed to James:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

419 | Hereing from God | 1 John 3:22 | BradK | 213153 | ||
Hello James, It is not my intent to be difficult or engage in an ongoing debate on this matter. However, our disagreement is about sola scriptura. This is a foundational doctrine of Historic Christianity! Yet, you continue to substantiate nothing. Not a shred of scriptural evidence have you provided. None! Vague references don't prove anything! The burden of proof is clearly on you to support your claim, not on I to disprove! There is not one single verse where God is teaching and or prescribing that dreams, visions, and audible communication from Him are to be for all people at all times! Not one! Proof to the contrary...??? Here are a several OT and NT verses that teach and proclaim the authority of the written Word. Josh 1:8- "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. Ps 119:9- How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word. Ps 119:11- Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You. Ps 119:116- Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope. Ps 119:148 - My eyes anticipate the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word. Ps 119:160 - The sum of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting. Matt. 4:4-10- Jesus counters satan through the reference to and quotation of the written Word of God. He thereby proclaims it's authority! John 17:17 "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth." Nothing said about dreams, visions, or audible communication. The Word and Jesus are both truth; Rom 10:17- "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ" 2 Tim 3:16-17 - "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." No mention that dreams, visions or audible communications from God hold any comparable or similar authority for the believer; Heb 4:12- "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." The Word of God is living and active... 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." The Canon of scripture is complete. No further revelation is necessary or authoritative! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
