4061 | did Jesus die for our sins or sickness | 1 Pet 2:24 | Hank | 160447 | ||
The second book on your recommended list, "Bodily Healing and the Atonement" by McCrossan, contains fatal errors of theology that are in direct conflict with Scripture. I will be happy to expand on this statement if you wish. An appropriate subtitle for the book might be "Healing on Demand" which is part and parcel of the Word of Faith Movement's heretical "name-it-and-claim-it" dictum. I am not familiar with the other two books you name. ....... Atdcross, we welcome you as a new registrant of Study Bible Forum. Since this is a site devoted to Bible study, and as such, whatever is taught here should be carefully documented by Scripture, it is requested that you back up with scriptural proof your statement: "The word 'healed' refers to the whole man, spirit and body, in both the Hebrew Scriptures and the NT." We are far more interested in what the Bible teaches on healing, both spiritual and physical, than on what man thinks about it. Thank you in advance as we await your response. --Hank | ||||||
4062 | Is submission of wives for today? | 1 Pet 3:1 | Hank | 124490 | ||
Emmaus: The passage you quoted is excellent, and thanks for sharing it. Do you happen to know who wrote it? It properly interprets Paul's meaning, I believe, and puts to rest the misguided notion that a wife is obligated under any and all circumstances to be subservient to a husband, even if he is an abuser or a tyrant. The wife is not the only one whom Scripture charges with duties and responsibilities in the marital relationship: "Husbands, love your wives as also Christ loved the church" puts a heavy responsibilty on the husband's shoulders too. ...... I've been married to one woman for a whole bunch of years, nearly 45 of them. It has been and continues to be a blessed relationship, but in marriage as with life, there ain't no free lunch. A happy and enduring marriage is something that has to be worked at. It's like a fence that has to be mended every so often. It's like a garden that has to be nourished, weeded, and cultivated regularly. My wife and I have striven to follow as nearly as we can God's plan for marriage. It works and we have the years to prove it. --Hank | ||||||
4063 | So should your wife wear a headcovering? | 1 Pet 3:1 | Hank | 124579 | ||
Tim: That's the way I see it, the same as you, that the head covering passage falls into a 'cultural issues' category, whereas the submission passages do not. But even the 'head covering' passage pertains to, but is ancillary to, the primary teaching, which is that wives ought to submit to their husbands. ..... And I 'amen' your caution that the cultural argument should be used sparingly...very sparingly. As an illustration of the folly of over extending the cultural argument to the point of absurdity, some years ago while a member of a denomination that has turned exceedingly liberal in recent years, I attended a meeting at which the topic under consideration was the admission of practicing homosexuals into the clergy. The man who conducted the meeting was an ordained minister and a seminary professor. I am still numb when I reflect that this man addressed the group for a solid hour during which he attempted to show that the Bible does not really condemn homosexuality today. He played his 'cultural argument' card to the hilt, saying that the reason homosexuality was not looked upon with favor in Bible times was that it made God's people look too much like the pagan nations! I don't think anyone in the audience was particularly impressed with the arguments of this guy who had more degrees after his name than a thermometer. In fact, shortly after listening to this gas bag, about 40 long-time members of the congregation, my wife and I among them, walked out never to return. --Hank | ||||||
4064 | Grey? | 1 Pet 3:1 | Hank | 124583 | ||
Joy, your husband is right: 'gray' is the preferred spelling; 'grey' is a variant spelling. But please note how greyhounds spell their name. But you can't put much stock in that. What do dogs know about spelling anyway? ..... I can't agree with you that the Bible intentionally leaves anything gray (or even grey, for that matter). I resort to a quote from Willie Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar": "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves, that we are underlings." So the 'gray areas' of Scripture are really not in Scripture at all, but in our feeble and limited minds, in their inabilty to fathom the unsearchable riches of Christ. I'm 69 years old and I fervently wish that now I knew half as much about God's word as I thought I did at 29. --Hank | ||||||
4065 | Guidance with couples bible study.. | 1 Pet 3:1 | Hank | 174915 | ||
Hi, Brother Mark - You wrote "Mike Murdock...wants your money." .... I must say 'amen' to that! And it is hoped that readers of this Forum with look before they leap, meaning that they will search the Scriptures before they jump up from their easy chairs and write Mike Murdock a check. And not only Murdock, but a host of these low-life media vampires who ask you to 'name it and claim it,' accompanied by grandiose promises of health and wealth if only their victims will send them some dough. A great deal of the things that are being pumped into your home via TV, radio, and the Internet are nothing but a pack of lies thinly disguised as the gospel of Christ. It is a national scandal, and the only sure way it can be stopped is for people to stop sending these religious mobsters their money. Then perhaps these pontificating parasites would be forced to go out and get a real job and earn an honest living for a change. --Hank | ||||||
4066 | do women have to wear dersses | 1 Pet 3:3 | Hank | 199380 | ||
Thanks for the clarification, little brother. For a moment there, when I read your other post, I was wondering whether Paul dropped by to make a guest appearance in Peter's letter while I wasn't paying attention. :-) ...... I would tend to question whether it doesn't make any difference what one wears to worship service. I know you pretty well and don't at all believe that you mean to advocate that it's o.k. to attend worship service in, for example, abbreviated beach wear. --Hank | ||||||

4069 | Adam: Chief Sinner? | 1 Pet 3:19 | Hank | 115515 | ||
bstudent: Please teach us how Romans 5:12-14 says that Adam's sin of disobedience is worse than the disobedience of any other sinner. Does the Bible allow for one person's sins to be greater or lesser than those of another? --Hank | ||||||
4070 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | Hank | 56350 | ||
Why? | ||||||
4071 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | Hank | 59403 | ||
Romans 4_5: You say, "Water baptism is FORBIDDEN today." That's quite a sweeping statement! Please prove it. --Hank | ||||||
4072 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | Hank | 59404 | ||
Romans 4_5: You say, "Water baptism is FORBIDDEN today." That's quite a sweeping statement! Please prove it. --Hank | ||||||
4073 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | Hank | 59544 | ||
Romans 4_5: I will respond to your view as nearly to a spirit of Christian charity and grace as I am capable, yet with candor and directness. The best I can offer is a suggestion to you that you avail yourself of a good biblical concordance or, better, a topical concordance and read everything the Bible has to say on the subject of baptism, making every effort to cast aside any pre-conceived bias or notions that may be in your mind. Your argument that water baptism is forbidden in the New Testament and the couple of verses that you have submitted in an effort to give it credibility fall woefully short of viable evidence. There has been much said -- one could argue too much has been said -- on the topic of baptism in this forum, but never do I recall anyone posting a view such as yours, i.e., that water baptism in forbidden for Christians. Yours is an argument that, to my mind, is so far off center that it begs of no serious consideration and thus I shall give it none. --Hank | ||||||
4074 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | Hank | 59559 | ||
Romans 4_6: Please permit me swiftly, sharply, and decisively to correct you! You say, "I see that the Baptist standard is your guide and not the Word of God." You see nothing of the sort! Not in my user profile. Not in any of my posts. You are no more accurate in your observations of what my guide is than you are about what the Bible teaches about baptism! If you plan to continue to post on this forum, I strongly suggest you get your act together and your facts straight. --Hank | ||||||
4075 | Do you have to be baptized to be saved? | 1 Pet 3:21 | Hank | 59568 | ||
Hi yourself, Bubba John! My heart problem is more stable, thankfully, though my heart is not yet very strong -- but my spirit is. I've not lost one micron of distance in my walk with the Sovereign Lord or one iota of awe for His precious word. When someone -- anyone -- hints that I don't love and revere and accept God's word as my sole and final authority and guide for my faith and practice, I can get rather peppery, as you know! And I know that you too, John, hold God's word in the highest esteem possible. Grace and good wishes, my Christian friend and brother. --Hank | ||||||

Steve, I don't hold dispensationalism in a particularly high regard, for in my view it creates more problems than it solves. And if your theory is right, that Romans 4_5 is teaching from an ultradispensational platform, then we can see to what dire lengths this austerly literal interpretation can lead, if that's what it is, which I doubt, because I think it goes far beyond being merely a literal interpretation. The New Testament simply doesn't support such a teaching, literally, symbolically, figuratively or in any other manner. It's simply using the old trick of snatching a couple of verses out of context, disregarding all others, and coming up with a crack-pot doctrine. I rather think that this teaching is more the product of a lone-ranger type of thinking than of an organized body of believers, though I stand to be corrected. At all events, I would quibble with you mildly about hastening to scratch the word "outrageous" as not being a fitting adjective for this sort of teaching. I agree with Kalos on its being outrageous and with both of you on its being confusing. --Hank | ||||||
4077 | number of persons in Noah's ark | 1 Pet 3:21 | Hank | 62868 | ||
CORRECTION: The Scripture reference to the question about the number of persons on Noah's ark was erroneously posted as 1 Peter 3:21 and should be amended to 1 Peter 3:20. That's the first mistake of its kind I've made in the last 15 minutes :-) --Hank | ||||||
4078 | What about the thief on the cross? | 1 Pet 3:21 | Hank | 75530 | ||
The "pre-Pentecost" thief on the cross was saved by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. So what has changed in the "post-Pentecost" plan of salvation? --Hank | ||||||
4079 | Those who died before Jesus' death | 1 Pet 4:6 | Hank | 139060 | ||
Angel - I agree with the premise that it is under the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit that regenerate believers are led to a fuller, richer knowledge of the truth of God's word, but I disagree with your conclusion that this renders the Bible incomplete. It is God's written revelation to man, a fully objective revelation, constituting the only infallible rule of faith and practice. Seeking help with the illumination and interpretation of a document by an outside source has no bearing on the completeness or incompletness of the document. The United States, for example, looks to its Supreme Court for help in interpreting the Constitution, but that does not mean that the Constitution is itself incomplete. So it is with Scripture. To pray the Spirit of God for guidance into His word in no way diminishes the completness of the word. Here's a string of Scripture references I'm submitting in support of this post: 1 Cor. 2:7-14; 2 Peter 1:20,21; 1 Cor. 2:13; 1 Thess. 2:13; Matt. 5:18; Heb. 4:12; 2 Tim. 3:16; Ps. 19:7; 119:89, 105, 160; Jude 3; Rev. 22:18,19. --Hank | ||||||
4080 | Those who died before Jesus' death | 1 Pet 4:6 | Hank | 139061 | ||
Angel - "Remove the Holy Spirit from Scripture, and you have..." ..... How is it possible to 'remove the Holy Spirit from Scripture' since He wrote it? It would be like trying to remove Shakespeare from "Hamlet" or Dickens from "David Copperfield" or Mark Twain from "Huckleberry Finn." --Hank | ||||||
