1 | How can we know if our faith is real? | Bible general Archive 1 | Twally | 6888 | ||
In the Partners in Growing booklet we hand out to a new convert in the Evangelism Explosion ministry founded by D.James Kennedy the following statement is made: The Bible states clearly that no one has eternal life just because he SAYS that he has trusted Christ (James 2:14). Only the person who truly repented (foresaken, turned away) from his sins and placed his faith in Jesus Christ's sacrificial death genuinely has received eternal life. The person who has committed his life to Jesus Christ and thereby received the gift of eternal life will, out of gratitude for that gift, desire to: -Obey Christ and please God -Study God's Word: the Bible -Be with God's people in worship -Tell others about Christ -Live a clean and holy life The person who has no desire to learn more and grow in his spiritual life should not be deceived into thinking he actually possessos eternal life. Although there will be struggles, with new life comes new desires and a new hunger for the things of God. Living Coram Deo, Jim Raisler |

3 | What is special about "logos" (Word)? | John 1:1 | Twally | 5343 | ||
What about the person with a Jewish background? In Boice's commentary he states that the term "word" would refer a Jewish person to the first words of Genesis.. in the beginning God spoke and all things came into being... To the Jews a word was something concrete, something much closer to what we would call an event or a deed. Jim |

4 | What is special about "logos" (Word)? | John 1:1 | Twally | 5342 | ||
Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher in 6 century B.C., stated that all of life is in a state of change. .. not in a chaos, not mere random chance. It is ordered change. .. This means there must be a divine "reason" or "word" that controls it. This is the logos, the word that John uses. Plato, we are told, said, "It may be that some day there will come forth from God a Word who will reveal all mysteries and make everything plain." From James Boice's commentary on John, vol 1, pg34-35 God Bless, Jim Raisler |

5 | Reformation Bible Episcopal? | Bible general Archive 1 | Twally | 5127 | ||
My guess would be yes, It is an update to the origional Geneva published in 1590's with significant input from Calvin. You can go to crosswalks on internet and view the origional notes of the Geneva Bible. Then by checking some "historical Episcopalian" key texts you could evalate the notes, etc. I recommend the Bible if your interest is to study the interperations of the reformers |

7 | The Rapture, when will it be? | Bible general Archive 1 | Twally | 3696 | ||
We need to concentrate our efforts on the Gospel of Grace and not look at Revelation as a puzzle book, but a picture book which reveals God's plan. He is in charge of history and we are to spend our time working out our salvation with fear and trembling. With our main focus on the great commission. Our foundation is based on the Gospel. James Boice in his last book written before his death made the following statement: "Without these five confessional statements-Scripture alone, Christ alone, Grace alone, Faith alone, and Glory to God alone-we do not have a true church, and certainly not one that will survive for very long. For how can any church be a true and faithful church if it does not stand for Scripture alone, is not committed to a biblical Gospel, and does not exist for God's glory? A church without these convictions has ceased to be a true church, whatever else it may be." Food for thought, where are you concentrating you efforts, on solving the puzzle? Jim Raisler |

8 | The Rapture, when will it be? | Bible general Archive 1 | Twally | 2804 | ||
Another interesting site is Steve Wohlberg's site on the left behind deception at http://www.truthleftbehind.com/index.html Steve grew up in a Jewish home and converted to Christianity at the age of 20. Interesting reading. |

9 | The Rapture, when will it be? | Bible general Archive 1 | Twally | 2797 | ||
John F. Walvoord, Dallas Theological Sem., wrote in one of his books that you can only build a case for a pretrib rapture if you hold to the position that God has a separate salvation covenant with the Jews. I can't see it based on Paul's writtings in Romans 9-11, and Galatians 3. This is a larger than large subject. I would suggest you go to http://www.crta.org/index2.html and click on the eschatology page. |

10 | Is it the New Geneva Bible or another? | Bible general Archive 1 | Twally | 2645 | ||
"The Reformation Study Bible" was formerly titled "The New Geneva Study Bible." I have one and enjoy it's emphasis on recovering the theology of the Reformation. It has articles on 100 key Biblical doctrines and themes. |

12 | How can we influence who is saved? | 1 Pet 2:9 | Twally | 1455 | ||
WE are commanded to, Matthew 28:18-20. The Gospel must be preached in order to bring the sinner to faith, Romans 10:1ff | ||||||
13 | Preordained free will? | 1 Pet 2:9 | Twally | 1454 | ||
R. C. Sproul quote: "There are aspects of God's own nature that remain shrouded in mystery. How He governs His creation by a soverign will that works through human agents without destroying their volition or responsibility is one." John Calvin quote: "Now the reason why the LORD treats some mercifully and exercises the rigour of His judgement towards others we must leave to be known by him alone, for He, with very good intentions, has wished that it should be hidden from us all. The course insensitivity of our mind would not be able to bear such a great light; nor would our smallness be able to understand such great wisdom." I have had a easier time when confronted with what seems to be contradiction by accepting the mystery. Deuteronomy 29:29 says it well ! |

14 | BEST COMMENTARY ON REVELATION? | Revelation | Twally | 1356 | ||
Might consider reading Revelation: Four Views: A Parallell Commentary edited by Steve Gregg. It lays the views side by side, verse by verse. I also like Vern S. Poythress's book, The Returning King just published |

15 | BEST COMMENTARY ON REVELATION? | Revelation | Twally | 1168 | ||
There are 4 main views on how the visions of 6:1-18:24 are fulfilled. Preterists think fulfillment occurred in 70 AD. Futurists think fulfillment will occur in a period just before the Second Coming. Historicists think that section offers a basically chronological outline of the course of church history. Idealists think that the scenes of Revelation depict not specific events but principles of spiritual war throughout the church age and may have repeated embodiments. So proceed with an understanding that for years there have been different understandings. |
