341 | Did God create evil? | Is 45:7 | Radioman2 | 88819 | ||
Proof-texting (Isa 44:24) does not prove anything. God created all things that WERE CREATED. He did not create that which was NOT CREATED. "Sin is not itself a thing created."[1] Therefore, God did not create sin. ____________________ [1] "Sin is neither substance, being, spirit, nor matter. So it is technically not proper to think of sin as something that was created." |

SIN IS NOT ITSELF A THING CREATED "Evil originates not from God but from the fallen creature... "It is helpful, I think, to understand that sin is not itself a thing created. Sin is neither substance, being, spirit, nor matter. So it is technically not proper to think of sin as something that was created. "Sin is simply a want of moral perfection in a fallen creature. Fallen creatures themselves bear full responsibility for their sin. And all evil in the universe emanates from the sins of fallen creatures" (www.gty.org). |

347 | THE MOST POWERFUL VERSE IN EVANGELISM | John 12:32 | Radioman2 | 88760 | ||
"Any prophet speaking for Jesus, in other words, as a conduit for Jesus' own words, with a clearer explanation of spiritual things than the Bible gives us, is going to be false." ____________________ Tj57h@cs.com writes: "I am sorry that you do not see this scripture as It has been revieled (sic) to me, I operate in it's spiritual power every day. The word that I have posted on the forum is the truth as it has been revield (sic) by the Spirit to me, I am not saying I have no error in my life, I am submitted to God and he will lead me into his truth. Just because you do not understand it, does not mean I am wrong!" "My prayer also is that everyone reading this will pray for me to further be revealed the truth from the Spirit of God." ____________________ "New" Revelation 'Whenever you hear that kind of thing, there is a very important question you have to ask. I know what the truth is, and when I compare the first revelation to the second revelation, I know the second revelation couldn't be Jesus speaking through whoever that prophet is. It is not enough for someone to say, "Jesus told me this thing, therefore you ought to believe the revelation." Though many people leave it at that, quite frankly. I'm really surprised that there are so many so-called prophets of Jesus here now in these latter days, and they make a bald-faced authority claim and say, "You ought to believe this." Why? Because Jesus is speaking here. Well, the very question is...Why should I trust that any of this new material is a genuine revelation of Jesus? Why should I trust that? ( . . . ) 'What about people who pop up nearly 2000 years later and claim to have the most recent word from Christ after a couple millennia of silence? Often times you will get this response, "Well, it feels right. I really have this feeling that it's true. I have a burning in my heart that authenticates the truth of this alleged revelation." This response just won't do because what they're offering is a mere subjective test for something that is supposedly objectively true. Yet this objective truth is not patently obvious on the face of it.' ____________________ 'Testing "New" Revelation' by Gregory Koukl.

348 | You need baptism of the Holy Ghost! | Acts 19:2 | Radioman2 | 88753 | ||
KJV Acts 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 'Not as in A.V., "since ye believed," but as in R.V. and marg.: "Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed?" Paul was evidently impressed by the absence of spirituality and power in these so-called disciples. Their answer brought out the fact that they were Jewish proselytes, disciples of John the Baptist, looking forward to a coming King, not Christians looking backward to an accomplished redemption. See Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 6:19; Ephesians 1:13.' (Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Acts 19". "Scofield Reference Notes (1917 Edition)". (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ScofieldReferenceNotes/) NASB Acts 19:2 He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said to him, "No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit." AMPLIFIED Acts 19:2 And he asked them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed [on Jesus as the Christ]? And they said, No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. |

350 | need info on the book of life | Rev 3:5 | Radioman2 | 88695 | ||
Book of Life "will never be altered." Rev 3:5 "Book of Life." A divine journal records the names of all those whom God has chosen to save and who, therefore, are to possess eternal life ( Rev 13:8; 17:8; 20:12, 15; 21:27,: 22:19; compare Dan 12:1; Luke 10:20). Under no circumstances will He erase those names . . . , as city officials often did of undesirable people on their roles. (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1996) Phil 4:3. "Book of Life." In eternity past, God registered all the names of His elect in that book which identifies those inheritors of eternal life . . . (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1828). When were our names written in the book of life? "From the foundation of the world." Before the first man was ever born, the names of the elect were written in the book of life. Rev 17:8 NASB "The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come." Rev 13:8 (NASB) All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain. "Lamb slain". The Lord Jesus who died to purchase the salvation of those whom God had chosen was fulfilling an eternal plan. "from the foundation of the world". According to God's eternal, electing purpose before creation, the death of Christ seals the redemption of the elect forever (compare Acts 2:23; 4:27, 28). Antichrist can never take away the salvation of the elect. The eternal registry of the elect will never be altered, nor will the saved in the Antichrist's day worship him. (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 2010) |

358 | THE MOST POWERFUL VERSE IN EVANGELISM! | John 12:32 | Radioman2 | 88652 | ||
"But He was saying this TO INDICATE THE KIND OF *DEATH* BY WHICH HE WAS TO *DIE*." My intent here is not to contradict anyone or prove anyone "wrong." I merely point out in what sense the Bible uses the phrase "lifted up" when speaking of Christ. So, please take no offense, because none is intended. If I understand you correctly, you imply that somehow Jesus is to "be lifted (by our words and actions)." But is that really what "lifted up" means according to the Bible? John 12:32-33 "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself." But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die. (NASB) And I, if and when I am lifted up from the earth [on the cross], will draw and attract all men [Gentiles as well as Jews] to Myself. He said this to signify in what manner He would die. (Amplified) Do we really want to lift up Jesus again? "For in that he died, he died unto sin once." Romans 6:10 (KJV) According to Hebrews chapter 10 (Amplified New Testament), it was necessary that Jesus be LIFTED UP (that He die) only once. v. 10 And in accordance with this will [of God], we have been made holy (consecrated and sanctified) through *the offering made ONCE FOR ALL * of the body of Jesus Christ (the Anointed One). v. 12 Whereas this One [Christ], *after He had offered A SINGLE SACRIFICE for our sins [that shall avail] FOR ALL TIME*, sat down at the right hand of God, v. 14 For by A SINGLE OFFERING He has forever completely cleansed and perfected those who are consecrated and made holy. (Emphasis added in these verses.) In summary, when Jesus said "if I am lifted up [on the cross]," He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die. And the Bible clearly says, "For in that he died, he died unto sin once" Romans 6:10 (KJV). Therefore, it is not necessary that He be "lifted up" again and again. |

359 | Accept Jesus? | Acts 24:3 | Radioman2 | 88617 | ||
"The idea is one not of mere recognition, but of ACCEPTANCE and welcome." Tim: You are absolutely correct: "many of the words translated as 'receive' can also be translated as 'accept'." I appreciate your honesty and the careful scholarship of your every posting. It is always a blessing to be instructed by you. Thank you for setting me straight by providing the information in your previous post. In this instance and throughout the Bible it is true "that there really is no 'one' word which conveys all the meanings of these [Greek and Hebrew] words." This is why I rely upon and recommend the Amplified Bible. Following is another example of 'receive' and 'accept' being synonymous. John 1:11 New English Translation He came to what was his own, but his own people did not receive him.[27] 27 Study Note. His own people did not receive him. There is a subtle irony here: when the lovgo" (logos) came into the world, he came to his own (taV i[dia, ta idia, literally "his own things") and his own people (oiJ i[dioi, Joi idioi), who should have known and received him, but they did not. This time John does not say that "his own" did not know him, but that they did not receive him (parevlabon, parelabon). The idea is one not of mere recognition, but of ACCEPTANCE and welcome. (Emphasis added.) New English Translation (http://www.netbible.com) Grace and peace, Radioman2 |
