981 | Are we ever "worthy" of God's love? | John 3:16 | srbaegon | 52228 | ||
Hello Treadway I haven't kept up with your ponderings, but might I suggest Theology_List@YahooGroups.com as a place you might like to try your topic? They get deep. Steve |

982 | 4 Principles of Interpretation | 2 Tim 2:15 | srbaegon | 52078 | ||
Hello Tim You've made an excellent point concerning grammar. William Mounce in his book on beginning Greek starts by acknowledging most English-speaking people don't understand English grammar. He gives a primer before he can move to Greek. I thought I knew English pretty well but discovered differently. Steve |

Hello Hank Just an addition concerning who/what was nailed to the cross. Col. 2:14 (ESV) by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. Steve |

984 | Church choirs? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 52042 | ||
Hello Searcher Raven asked specifically of "church" choirs. That's why I didn't use the OT. You are correct though. Steve |

Hello Raven I am not comfortable with the things you mentioned either, but we find many of them in the Psalms. Steve |

986 | Mechanical Instruments? | Eph 5:19 | srbaegon | 51954 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth Did you read the answers we gave to this question? We have shown how musical instruments are perfectly acceptable. Steve |

987 | Mechanical Instruments? | Eph 5:19 | srbaegon | 51944 | ||
Hello Tim Well at least you had an excuse for your "senior moment." :-D I also play guitar, and it's terrible when you go blank -- for no reason -- in front of everyone -- while you're trying to lead. Come to think of it, I've had those moments behind the pulpit. Steve |

Hello Tim I took my definition from Liddell-Scott-Jones. I like having the Classical understanding. It gives some depth to Koine. The editors acknowledge and insert NT examples. An added benefit is that it's on the web. I like my "Little Kittel" as well, but I don't always have it handy. Steve |

Hello Raven You've crossed the line with this one. See the Forum guidelines concerning personal attacks. Steve |

991 | Closed Communion | NT general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 51888 | ||
Hello Searcher The thought is that it is a corporate time of worship and remembering the Lord. In Scripture it seems to be done always as a group. But you are correct in that the Lord is always the focal point. Steve |

992 | What is baptism in water from Jesus's po | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 51821 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth We already have previously. Did I state your definition for "work" correctly? Steve |
||||||
993 | Holy Spirit evidence of Salvation? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 51806 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth The difference is how we define "work." In your response to Hank, you define it as "effort done in/from/of the flesh." I think I speak for Hank in saying we define "work" as any effort to accomplish a task whether it's of faith or flesh. Ours is the common dictionary usage. Steve |

994 | Does Mt. 22:39 assume self-love? | Matt 22:39 | srbaegon | 51754 | ||
Hello Ken I got a chance to listen yesterday. And you did not misunderstand. She was superimposing her preconcieved notions, based in modern psychology, on top of the passage. It's true we live out 1 Cor 13 through the enabling of the Holy Spirit, and it's also true that this love can only be expressed if there's been a spiritual change. But there was no reality of the gospel working in us to enact that change. They were only sweet platitudes to encourage us to live better. BTW, I noticed the speaker did her best to NOT use masculine pronouns to reference God when it was grammatically better to do so. This lady has an agenda separate from the Lord's. Steve |

995 | Holy Spirit evidence of Salvation? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 51519 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth "Made perfect" is a maturing of what Abraham had. There was a beginning (Gen 15) and a perfecting (Gen 22). God was bringing it to its completion. The outcome of faith is to be obedience. We have the similar thought (though not identical) in Philippians 1:6 (ESV) And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Here Paul acknowledges the maturing process, but looks to it's ultimate conclusion at the day of Christ. James is looking at the practical outworking of faith being the expected conclusion of true faith in this life. Steve |

996 | Holy Spirit evidence of Salvation? | Acts 2:38 | srbaegon | 51512 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth The difficulty seems to be with how "justified" is used in James 2:21. There is more than one definition for this word. Your interpretation seems to be that this is a judicial act where sin is removed and/or covered. If this is the case, then Abraham was not "saved" until he offered up Isaac in Gen 22. However the clear testimony of Scripture is that his belief was counted to him for righteousness back in Gen 15:6. It can't be both. Either God did as stated in 15:6 or somebody lied. James 2 is stating that Abraham proved his faith by the willingness to offer up Isaac. The belief that allowed God to count as righteousness was demonstrated on the mountain. Steve |

997 | Ques. for Grace andTruth | Romans | srbaegon | 51488 | ||
Hello Grace and Truth "I notice also none of you who believe the (faith only) doctrine would use the book of James to justify your theory." I would not use Philemon either. They are not applicable. The context of James is that the person who claims to have faith or believe on Christ needs to prove it by the demonstration of good works. Salvation is considered to be a thing already accompished in the lives of the epistle's recipients. Steve |

998 | Saved with Baptism? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 51305 | ||
Hello justme You may have said this is meant for Treadway but your questions are directed at me. I do not suggest 1 Cor 7:14 is imparting salvation on the unbelieving spouse. I am saying that the unbeliever is set apart because of the believer. I don't pretend to know how this works. ESV is English Standard Version. Steve |

999 | Saved with Baptism? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 51284 | ||
Hello Treadway As Raven pointed out, there's no Scripture detailing an age of accountability, but we have verses like Jonah 4:11 (ESV) And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?" This shows God's heart toward those who don't have the ability to understand. And also 1 Cor. 7:14 (ESV) For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. Admittedly, this is more a case of God's blessing and protection on the family because of the believing spouse, yet there is a sense that the children have a promise of God's covering. Steve |
