1684 | two main sections of pauls letters | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 218903 | ||
Hello Christi, Here's some general advice intended to help you:-) It's always best if we study, and do the leg work on our own. We learn more that way! I'd assume you've read Paul's epistles? For instance, you'll note, Romans and Ephesians. Both have a "doctrinal section" and a "practical section". Read, and re- read and meditiate on these (Ephesians being the shorter book) and see if you can't pick out where this occurs. Hopefully this will provide you a little framework to prepare for your discussion group. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1687 | when did theologians understand 7's? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 222723 | ||
Hello vncnt blzn, Thanks for your reply. Since your friend is "a teacher at the Theosophical Society of America", that explains a lot! Theosophists are basically Mystics- whose object is knowledge, and with whom the organ of communication with God, is the reason. As Hodge notes, "The Theosophist is one who gives a theory of God, or of the works of God, which has not reason, but an inspiration of his own for its basis.” “The Theosophists, neither contented with the natural light of reason, nor with the simple doctrines of Scripture understood in their literal sense, have recourse to an internal supernatural light superior to all other illuminations, from which they profess to derive a mysterious and divine philosophy." So, you are getting information from someone who denies the sufficiency and auhtority of the Bible as the Word of God! Regarding the number seven, it can often denote perfection- or completeness! It is used frequently in Scripture, such as Gen. 2:2, "By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." (NASB) I'm not sure how this contradicts Blavatsky's understanding nor where she thinks theologians lacked in their understanding of the number 7? Might I ask why this is so important to understand?

1688 | Do you drink milk? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 223762 | ||
Hello gospel..., Unfortunately, I still have no idea of what you're trying to saying!? I'm at a complete loss to tie in "Do you drink milk" with the purpose of this Forum? Is this a reference to Heb. 5:13, "For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant."?(NASB) If not, could you re-phrase or restate your question? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello gospel, Now I understand what you're saying. Thank you for clarifying. The purpose of this Forum- as hosted by the Lockman Foudation- is the study of Scripture. As such, "trick questions", one's that are unclear, or cryptically worded may tend to create confusion and/or suspicion - particularly amongst us regulars:-) I'm a big believer in being clear by saying what you mean and meaning what you say. If you're not sure about the SBF, I'd welcome you to check About Forum, as it should help you to get a better picture! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello 1914, FYI- I'm not the one seeking clarification:-) As stated, I am not exactly sure what the poster is asking! Simply stated, "day of the Lord" covers a lot of ground. So, without it specifically phrased as a question, I can't answer. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1692 | do animals have souls? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 226339 | ||
Hello truth, Does scripture actually say "animals have souls?" You're making some inferences by proof-texting! What scripture conclusively supports your view? By the way, are you a member of the Watchtower Organization - a JW? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1693 | do animals have souls? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 226349 | ||
Hello truth, The term "soul" is translated by the Greek word psuche and the Hebrew nephesh. In the OT the soul signifies that which is vital to humans in the broadest sense. The Hebrew and Greek words for soul often can be translated as “life”. In this sense it is frequently used of animals (Gen. 1:20, 24, 30; 9:12, 15-16, Lev 11:10, Ezk. 47:9). The description of man’s creation in Genesis 2:7, the phrase “a living soul” (KJV) may be better translated as “a living being”, or "possessing life". The thought is not that men and women became souls, for clearly they had bodies. The use of the word in the original draws attention to the vital aspect of humans as “living beings". This in no way implies or says anything about animals having a soul! In the NT the word for soul (psuche) has a range of meanings similar to that in the OT. Often it is synonymous with life itself. Followers of Jesus are said to have risked their lives (souls) for his sake (Acts 15:26; cf. Jn 13:37; Rom 16:4; Phil 2:30). As the Son of Man, Jesus came not to be served but to serve and to give his life (soul) as a ransom for many (Mt 20:28; Mk 10:45). As the Good Shepherd, he lays down his life (soul) for the sheep (Jn 10:14, 17–18). In Luke 14:26 the condition of discipleship is to hate one’s soul, that is, to be willing to deny oneself to the point of losing one’s life for Christ’s sake (cf. Lk 9:23; Rv 12:11). Scripture doesn't actually say or teach that animals have souls! This is yet another example of numerous erroneous (false) teachings of the Watchtower Organization! Nowehere is either the OT or NT term applied directly to animals. Think about that. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1696 | Was Jesus ever married? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 230298 | ||
Hello naphal, By your response, I assume you're referring to Jesus as the Groom and the church as His bride as spoken of in Rev. 19:7? "Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready." (NASB) BradK |

Hello parable, I'd disagree with his statement. He's apparently a revisionist (though I'm not familiar with Pelikan), and he's way too broad. What of the OT? Certainly it had precedence over tradition and was before the NT! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1698 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | 2 Tim 2:25 | BradK | 155945 | ||
Dear Bows, I did speak the truth in love! I will have to disagree on this matter as I have serious issue with your contention that it is a Biblical practice. It may be a matter of definition whereby I might need to better understand where you're coming from. However, there is simply no term used in the Bible called "slain in the spirit". I most certainly do not see the claim of the verses you provided as giving a foundation to support your contention. It is a mighty big stretch. These verses do not provide a foundation for any such doctrine either. In 2 of the verses significant visions are detailed by both Daniel and John. I trust you're not claiming the same for us as believers? If so, what is your basis? With all due respect, in following your posts and reading your profile, our major source of difference is this: Yours is an experienced-based belief, mine is that of sola scriptura! I don't mean this offensively either, I'm just pointing out wherein the basis for our differences lie:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Dear Bows, Thank you for sharing and better explaining your view. I respectfully, still do not agree:-) Web surfing is not a Biblical topic to begin with, so it may not be the best example:-) My concerns are threefold: 1. The preaching about the Person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ is largely negated in the world of WOF teaching. Experience is king, anything goes, no matter how far-fetched, but Jesus Christ is minimized.( 2 Cor. 4:5) Bizarre practices don't need to be had to know the Lord or enter into a relationship with Him (Phil. 3:10); 2. It is a stretch to validate "being slain in the spirit" upon 4 verses of scripture! Particularly problematic is that 3 of these verses are OT and are not given for the purpose of proscribing this type of "phenomenom" for believers! They were to Israel first. Further, the NT Gospels are absent of this practice. I find it also noteworthy that Paul ,who wrote half the NT epistles is silent on this matter. 3. Experienced-based theology is dangerous because of it's highly subjective nature! Plaes don't hear what I'm not saying: I do not negate that God is sovereign or that He does not or cannot heal. He both can and does! (Ps. 115:30) What is most bothersome is when experience trumps scripture, or the experience is sought and then one attempts to find biblical support for it. Note in Rom. 4:3, in accord with Scripture that "Abraham believed God", not that he "experienced God",or "felt the presence of God". It's not that I think you'll accept what I'm saying, because I'm most certain you'll not. Experience is a very poor substitute for the authority of Gods' Word. Its' either true or its' not. It doesn't need my or your experience to validate it. That is the error of "proof-texting". Bows, in answer to you when you ask, "show me in scripture where God says he no longer allows us to experience his Glory or speak to us personally", He's not desiring us to seek some supernatural phenomena. God is glorified in and through me and He speaks to me through His Word ( Heb. 1:2) I still remain... Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

Hi KSR, I'm not sure why you would completely disagree with kalos? Re-read what he said, because his implication was anything other than "I need some human to know and understand". I think you missed his point:-) In my experience, it is usually those who have no solid foundation, or claim "you're putting God in a box" that shun or ignore sound doctrine. Without attempting to answer for him, a sound doctrinal foundation would be what has been believed and taught in Orthodox Christianity. I hope this helps, BradK |
