I join with my Brother Brad, move on! Once you have matured to the point you can teach and not cause divisiveness and are able to articulate your questions and responses with coherent arguments then perhaps you will prove more effective as a teacher. As is, you confuse and create debate and divisiveness on the forum. It is not that I agree or disagree with your interpretation of scripture, but it appears the sword is a bit heavy for your hand. Your approach here is growing old and enough is enough! Steve |

308 | Birth place of Cain and Abel | Gen 4:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 188597 | ||
Correction! Adam had relations with his wife (Eve) and gave birth to Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:1-2) which as I read it was after Adam and Eve were driven out of the garden of Eden. |

310 | gap therory | Gen 1:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 188295 | ||
Greetings cheri! It is typical of a fallen nature to seek to make God in our image. How easily we find it to reject God, His ways, His word, etc... in an effort to understand. What kills me is how pride stands in our way of just simply saying, I don't know, I don't understand it all, Lord what does it all mean??????? Surely if we stop for a bit and think, this must be better then rejecting what God says! I don't mean to put words in anyone's mouth and I'm not accusing anyone in particular. I'm merely pointing out what seems evident to me in mankind's sinful nature. Which by the way is another area the "gap theory" contradicts scripture. If we are to take scripture as the Holy Word of God, then absolutely nothing that contradicts it can be of God. Regardless of how well it's wrapped and presented, regardless if we can explain it or not, it would seem to me we make God out to be a liar if we chose to reject His word for that of fallen man. I'm no expert on the gap theory either but it doesn't take long to realize to make it stand we have to re-write scripture and that's enough for even a dumb one like me to spot. I did a little digging myself just to try and understand what this was all about. For anyone interested, here is a good article on the subject. It even gets into the translation and context of the scriptures which is what started this thread off in this direction in the first place. Go to http://www.creationmoments.com/ and do a search for Genesis Stands. Hopefully this will be helpful to anyone interested. God forgive us for what we make of it some times... direct our hearts towards you Lord! Steve |

Hi garym1952, You think "there may be a problem with the translation into English."? Could you share with us your background and experience in translation of the Hebrew language into English? The problem is when a Christian accepts the teachings of the ungodly. If you take note of those who push the gap theory, the only way they can make it work is to reject what is taught in scripture. There seems to be something inherently wrong with accepting the theories of mankind over the word of God wouldn't you agree? Scripture says Genesis 1:5 "...And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. " Genesis 1:8 "...And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. " Genesis 1:13 "And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. " Genesis 1:19 "And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day." Genesis 1:23 "And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. " Genesis 1:31 "...And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. " Exodus 20:8-11 (NASB) 8 "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 "Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. 11 "For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. Have you ever considered other scripture that you would have to discard to establish the gap theory as legit? Steve |

312 | By What Right Does God Rule Man? | Ps 2:11 | humbledbyhisgrace | 188097 | ||
Greetings panjam! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! In light of all the controversy this post has caused, I think it should be said your post is worthy of notice! Regardless of the motivation (which has yet to be settled) of the original question , you have raised some very good points that are always worth sharing with the world! Thank you for the spirit in which you presented your post! As a side note to your post and for further consideration, one can look to the sovereignty of God found throughout scripture and it should be quite obvious mankind does not even have the grounds to question if God has a "right" or not. His so called "rights" are not granted to him by man nor does mankind's opinion have any weight or sway on His rule. Consider also this 1 Cor. 4:7, James 1:17, John 3:27 and 1 Chron. 29:14. Clearly all that we have including the so called "free will" and life itself has been given to us by our creator. How could it be then that we determine His "rights"? May God bless you panjam and thank you again for your post! Steve |

Greetings Brother Tim! This is an excellent post! The way the question was ask and the gracious way in which it was answered speaks volumes in my opinion. Sorry my opinion doesn't count for much but that's all I have to offer :-) I have a lot of it though ;-) There is much more taught in this little interaction then just the answers that were given. Praise God! Great example Brother! Your Brother in Christ, Steve |

Greetings Hoppy! Well said my Brother! Amen and Amen! 1 Chronicles 29:11 "Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and Thou art exalted as Head above all" "The Sovereignty of God is an expression that once was generally understood. It was a phrase commonly used in religious literature. It was a theme frequently expounded in the pulpit. It was a truth which brought comfort to many hearts, and gave virility and stability to Christian character. But, today, to make mention of God’s sovereignty is, in many quarters, to speak in an unknown tongue. Were we to announce from the average pulpit that the subject of our discourse would be the sovereignty of God, it would sound very much as though we had borrowed a phrase from one of the dead languages. Alas! that it should be so. Alas! that the doctrine which is the key to history, the interpreter of Providence, the warp and woof of Scripture, and the foundation of Christian theology, should be so sadly neglected and so little understood." - A. W. PINK By Faith, Steve |

Amen on the good news of Jesus Christ! And trust me, I understand what your saying. I always like to tell the new Christians that express their lack of understanding of the scriptures and what everyone else is talking about that the most important thing they can understand from the scriptures they have already understood it and received it! Amen! Then of course I follow up with letting them know there's a lot in there I don't know and understand either :-) but I would love to study it with them and help where I can! God bless you always brother, Steve |

318 | gifts of Healing and Miracles for today. | 1 Cor 12:9 | humbledbyhisgrace | 187215 | ||
Greetings Mark! That's a nice play on words :-) but the fact is, the gifts are given to the members of the body of Christ (Romans 12:6). Yes, we then embody the gift so to speak but the gift itself is from Christ given to men (Ephesians 4:7-8). You can call the person the gift or not, but we both know the person was no gift until the Lord God gave to him and placed him in the body where He desired. 1 Corinthians 12:18 (NASB) But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired. The foundation was laid and is in fact still with us though the men which the gift was given are clearly with the Lord now. Their work was not in vain nor is there a need for it to be corrected or added to that I can find in scripture. By the grace of God and to His glory, they have glorified Him to the world even if the world continues to reject Him!!!!! You keep bringing up other apostles and prophets as if the fact we do not have in writing anything to attribute to them seems to add validity to the notion we still have apostles and prophets today (Am I understanding you correctly?) If so, How? My point is this, regardless of which ones or how many Paul is speaking of, I am not basing my understanding on who per say they were, but rather on what appears to me to be the clear text of scripture in Ephesians 2:19-20 and it was those apostles and prophets that are of the foundation spoken of here... Quick question, I don't know myself and I'm just asking. Do you find any significance in Revelation 21:14 to this discussion? God bless my brother, Steve |

Greetings Van! This doesn't address the post! My point was the foundation has been established and the "building up" is done on top of the foundation. The foundation has no need of change. What good would it do to change the foundation if the "building up" has already started? Your post sounds as if I've said something I didn't and or your agreeing without realizing it????? Or I guess one other option would be I just completely misunderstand your last post :-) By the way, it is nice to have you on the forum! It is a grand place to discuss the word with our Brothers and Sisters in Christ! By Faith Brother, Steve |

Greetings Brother! I hear what your saying. Let me just say this. First, thanks for responding. For me it is just a great joy to discuss the word of God with my Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Like you, I just want to be sanctified by the truth (John 17:17). Also, there is a bit more we are required to do then just preach the gospel. Much is being overlooked in the church today as it appears there is much neglect of Matthew 28:20. But that's another discussion ;-) In regards to the gifts you are referring to. As I said, I’ve looked into this subject some and although I lean to one side of the debate so to speak, much of it I have not been able to reconcile to a point I’m willing to be dogmatic on it. I do believe it is important for the very reason we see today and that is many of the false teachings which stand on claims of certain gifts! We could list the different cults that have laid claim to Christianity that have done this very thing but most of us probably already know who they are. I’m not saying I disagree with you on the gift of healing. However, if I may be so bold as to say what you have offered really does not reach the level of establishing the truth in this matter in my opinion. Please don’t be offended as that is not my intent but I'm of the opinion these arguments fall short on the matter. Of course, so do mine probably. No pride here or self appointed authority, just trying to work it all out. Consider what you say regarding Paul not healing himself. Ask these questions. Who allowed it? What was the reason for it? Do you see my point that this falls short of establishing the answers to the overall question? It is my opinion that we cannot say that Paul could not heal himself because he did not have the gift to heal. Rather, the affliction was meant for Paul’s good (i.e. lest he should be exalted above measure). The gift was not meant to contradict the will of God! It just doesn't add up. In the case of Timothy, what need was there for a miracle of God to heal him? Evidently, the wine would have been sufficient. I think we must be mindful of what the gifts were given for! Just some thoughts! By Faith Brother, Steve |
