301 | How literal is the Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 135780 | ||
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought-- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One two! One two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. ____________________ Jabberwocky Lewis Carroll |

304 | KJV Only Radicals | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 136014 | ||
Janae: You asked me one question -- What does Matthew 18:11 say in the NIV?. May I remind you that in my previous Note (to which you replied) I had posted 10 questions? Here they are once more: '(1) Must we possess a perfectly flawless bible translation in order to call it "the word of God"? If so, how do we know "it" is perfect? If not, why do some "limit" "the word of God" to only ONE "17th Century English" translation? Where was "the word of God" prior to 1611? Did our Pilgrim Fathers have "the word of God" when they brought the GENEVA BIBLE translation with them to North America? '(2) Were the KJV translators "LIARS" for saying that "the very meanest [poorest] translation" is still "the word of God"? '(3) Do you believe that the Hebrew and Greek used for the KJV are "the word of God"? '(4) Do you believe that the Hebrew and Greek underlying the KJV can "correct" the English? '(5) Do you believe that the English of the KJV "corrects" its own Hebrew and Greek texts from which it was translated? '(6) Is ANY translation "inspired"? Is the KJV an "inspired translation"? '(7) Is the KJV "scripture"? Is IT "given by inspiration of God"? [2 Tim. 3:16] '(8) WHEN was the KJV "given by inspiration of God" - 1611... or any of the KJV major/minor revisions in 1613, 1629, 1638, 1644, 1664, 1701, 1744, 1762, 1769, and the last one in 1850? '(9) In what language did Jesus Christ...teach that the Old Testament would be preserved forever according to Matthew 5:18? '(10) Where does the Bible teach that God will perfectly preserve His Word in the form of one seventeenth-century English translation?' Grace to you, Kalos (Total Postings I've Authored: 4,711) |

305 | What is an opressed spirit? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 137204 | ||
"What is an oppressed spirit?" Sorry, but I've never heard of it. The exact phrase "oppressed spirit" appears zero (0) times in the following versions of the Bible: - KJV - NKJV - NASB - NIV No speculation here. No opinion. Just fact. |

307 | LITV | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 137740 | ||
CDBJ: No, it is not the New Living Translation (NLT). I looked it up on the net (did a Google search) and found that LITV is the abbreviation for "Literal Translation of the Bible". Grace to you, Kalos |

Ray: Thanks for the additional information on the LITV. I have done a little more research and found that: To read customer reviews (i.e., reviews by rank and file (real) people--not professionals) of the LITV: Go to amazon.com. In the upper left-hand corner of the page, under "Search" select "Books". In the blank under "Books" enter the ISBN number, which is: 1878442465 I am not advertising amazon.com. It's just that I have found customer reviews there to be very helpful. You may also go to the LITV website, where you can read - The purpose and plan of the LITV - A few selections from the LITV - The distinctiveness of the LITV - A note from the HTML author The web address is: www.kconline.com/paul/litv/litv.htm I neither recommend nor not recommend the LITV. I merely point out websites where you can get more information about it. Grace to you: Kalos |

309 | LITV | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 137760 | ||
For what it's worth Ray: I have just come from reading the customer reviews of the LITV at amazon.com I noticed one thing virtually all the reviews had in common: The people who LOVE the LITV are the same ones who HATE the NASB, NKJV, NIV and all other modern (i.e., post-1611) translations of the Bible. Kalos |

Hank: I agree. And what I was trying to say in my previous post was: I noticed one thing virtually all the REVIEWS had in common: The people WRITING THOSE REVIEWS who LOVE the LITV are the same ones who HATE the NASB, NKJV, NIV... I did not mean to imply that everyone on earth who loves the LITV also hates the modern translations. I was speaking only of the reviewers mentioned above. Another common theme among the reviewers who disliked English (I meant to say MODERN English) translations of the Bible is this: they are pretty much Textus Receptus-Only people. It would seem that they preferred the TR because it was so in line with the KJV, which, of course, is the orginal text. I agree with what you wrote. When I see people who are TR-Only endorsing a book, red flags immediately appear. John |

Hank: Good observations. The reason KJV/TR-Only folks reject the NKJV is because it is not the KJV. Having diligently compared the text of the NKJV with that of the KJV, they come to the profound conclusion that the NKJV is not word-for-word exactly the same as the KJV. On the other hand, if every new translation were identical to the KJV, what would be the point of new translations? By the way, Hank, in searching the Web for information relevant to various postings, I have come across material I would have quoted were it not for the fact that those websites belonged to KJV-Only people, who condemn those who are not KJV-Only. Just recently I found a website that could not discuss any doctrine or issue without bashing other Greek texts (non-TR) and translations that were not the KJV. Grace to you, Kalos NOTE TO ALL: I've been using the KJV all my life. My problem is not with it, but with the notion that the KJV is the only translation we should use. My problem is with the harsh, mean-spirited, un-Christian rhetoric of those who defend the KJV-Only position. |

312 | why does God allow evil to exsit | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 138065 | ||
You say: "You still have the same choice as Adam and Eve had. Do you eat of the fruit or not, in otherwords become aware of, as well as exist in the realm of good and evil? You have a choice..." But God says: Romans 3:10-18 (ESV) as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; [11] no one understands; no one seeks for God. [12] All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." [13] "Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive." "The venom of asps is under their lips." [14] "Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness." [15] "Their feet are swift to shed blood; [16] in their paths are ruin and misery, [17] and the way of peace they have not known." [18] "There is no fear of God before their eyes."

313 | God's name -I AM- | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 138265 | ||
YHWH - the only proper name for God I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but I did not make My name Yahweh known to them. (Holman Christian Standard Bible® Exodus 6:3) '“Yahweh” [YHWH] is not one of God’s names—it is his only name. Other titles, like “El Shadday,” are not strictly names but means of revealing Yahweh.' (Study note at Exodus 6:3, The NET Bible, http://www.bible.org/netbible/exo6_notes.htm) The name 'YHWH' appears almost 7,000 times in the OT. However, in the KJV YHWH is usually translated as 'LORD.' 'Yahweh/Yah (or Jehovah). yhwh (or JHVH), the tetragrammaton because of its four letters, is, strictly speaking, the only proper name for God. It is also the most frequent name, occurring in the Old Testament 6,828 times (almost 700 times in the Psalms alone). Yah is a shortened form that appears fifty times in the Old Testament, including forty-three occurrences in the Psalms, often in the admonition "hallelu-jah" (lit. praise Jah). English Bibles represent the name yhwh by the title "LORD" (written in capitals to distinguish it from "lord" [adonai]. The Septuagint rendered yhwh as kyrios (Lord).' ____________________ (Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology, http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi). |

314 | Evidence? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 138266 | ||
"Sin is not itself a thing created." "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." ____________________ "If God is sovereign, does that make Him responsible for evil? "No. Scripture says that when God finished His creation, He saw everything and declared it "very good" (Genesis 1:31). Many Scriptures affirm that God is not the author of evil: "God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone" (James 1:13). "God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5). "God is not the author of confusion" (1 Corinthians 14:33)--and if that is true, He cannot in any way be the author of evil. ____________________ "...in no sense is He [God] the author of evil. "Evil originates not from God but from the fallen creature." ____________________ "Occasionally someone will quote Isaiah 45:7 (KJV) and claim it proves God made evil as a part of His creation: "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things". "But the New American Standard Bible gives the sense of Isaiah 45:6-7 more clearly: "There is no one besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, the One forming light and creating darkness, causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these." In other words, God devises calamity as a judgment for the wicked. But in no sense is He the author of evil. "Evil originates not from God but from the fallen creature. I agree with John Calvin, who wrote, "'. . . the Lord had declared that "everything that he had made . . . was exceedingly good" [Gen. 1:31]. Whence, then comes this wickedness to man, that he should fall away from his God? Lest we should think it comes from creation, God had put His stamp of approval on what had come forth from himself. By his own evil intention, then, man corrupted the pure nature he had received from the Lord; and by his fall drew all his posterity with him into destruction. Accordingly, we should contemplate the evident cause of condemnation in the corrupt nature of humanity--which is closer to us--rather than seek a hidden and utterly incomprehensible cause in God's predestination. [Institutes, 3:23:8]' ____________________ "...sin is not itself a thing created." ____________________ "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. "For example, Romans 5:12 says that death entered the world because of sin. Death, pain, disease, stress, exhaustion, calamity, and all the bad things that happen came as a result of the entrance of sin into the universe (see Genesis 3:14-24). All those evil effects of sin continue to work in the world and will be with us as long as sin is. "First Corinthians 10:13 promises us that God will not permit a greater trial than we can bear. And James 1:13 tells us that God will not tempt us with evil. ____________________ "God is certainly sovereign over evil. . . . But God's role with regard to evil is never as its author." ____________________ "God is certainly sovereign over evil. There's a sense in which it is proper even to say that evil is part of His eternal decree. He planned for it. It did not take Him by surprise. It is not an interruption of His eternal plan. He declared the end from the beginning, and He is still working all things for His good pleasure (Isaiah 46:9-10). "But God's role with regard to evil is never as its author. He simply permits evil agents to work, then overrules evil for His own wise and holy ends. Ultimately He is able to make all things--including all the fruits of all the evil of all time--work together for a greater good (Romans 8:28)" (www.gty.org). ____________________ For further study: Jay Adams, The Grand Demonstration (Santa Barbara CA: Eastgate,1991).

Janae: There is not one word in Scripture about one's mind being bound to the mind of Christ. I don't know where you're getting your terminology from. Before you start speculating on what the Bible does not say about Satan, you would do well to go back to the Bible and learn what it does say about him. Grace to you, Kalos |

BINDING, LOOSING AND REBUKING OF DEMONS 'It seems like every couple of years a new fad comes down the pike promising a deeper, richer, fuller Christian life. If you've been around for a while you know what I mean. In my twenty years as a Christian we've had Power in praise; the "second blessing" as key to the powerful Christian life; . . . heavy-handed submission to church leadership; BINDING, LOOSING AND REBUKING OF DEMONS; name it and claim it, the School of the Prophets, hearing the voice of God, power evangelism. These are all fads, ladies and gentlemen, evangelical joy-toys. They each may emphasize something that has biblical merit, but they do so in an unbalanced way, and each fails utterly as a panacea, as the one particular and principle thing that makes your Christian life "work."' ____________________ Quoted from "How to Keep from Getting Spiritually Weird" by Gregory Koukl.

OVERSTATING THE BELIEVER’S AUTHORITY ____________________ 'Matthew 18:18 ("bind" and "loose") refers to church discipline, not spiritual warfare, as the larger context makes entirely clear.' ____________________ STATEMENT DA082 The Bondage Maker: Examining the Message and Method of Neil T. Anderson (Part Two: Spiritual Warfare And The "Truth Encounter") by Elliot Miller ____________________ "Nowhere does Scripture state that believers have authority over Satan himself." ____________________ "The biblical evidence suggesting that believers have been given direct authority over the demonic realm is scantier than is usually supposed. Anderson applies Matthew 12:29 ("first binds the strong man") to believers, when it is obvious from the preceding seven verses that Jesus was referring to Himself alone. Matthew 18:18 ("bind" and "loose") refers to church discipline, not spiritual warfare, as the larger context makes entirely clear. Anderson uses Ephesians 1:18-21 (Christ is seated above all authorities and powers) combined with Ephesians 2:5-6 (believers are seated with Him) as proof of the believer’s authority over the devil. But rather than dealing with spiritual warfare, these passages speak of Christ’s exaltation by the Father and the believer’s acceptance and exaltation before the Father in Christ." One should therefore be careful not to infer too much from them. "Nowhere does Scripture state that believers have authority over Satan himself. Those biblical passages that do speak of believers’authority over the demonic realm apply strictly to driving demons out of lost human beings (Matt. 10:1; Mark 6:7; Luke 10:19; Acts 8:7). They are never applied to pastoral counseling or the believer’s personal battle with the devil. "This does not mean Christians must accept defeat in spiritual warfare. Scripture clearly teaches that Jesus has won the victory over the devil and all authority has been given to Him (Matt. 28:18; Eph. 1:20-22; Col. 2:15; 1 Pet. 3:22; etc.). While believers do not have the prerogative to say, "I command you, Satan (to do this or not do that)," Jesus does. Believers are indeed positionally seated with Him in heavenly places and are thus made partakers in His victory. They therefore can be confident that if they resist the devil, he will flee from them (James 4:7)." (http://www.equip.org/search/). |
