BradK, Your patience is requested. Why did you react in such manner to, admittedly, a "speculative" answer? Aren't you convinced that G-d had the Bible written thru man, in its' fashion to foster and promote individual interpretation and intent? I am....and I believe He did it for a purpose. That is to urge us to study,analysis,discuss,debate and do it all over again. Thanks. I am new on the board and wish to gain insight. |

Hello G. Preston, Thanks for your question. My reaction was based on the answers given by the poster to the original question, "where was Jesus during the time between his death and resurrection?" I may have better termed the answers as "unqualified", since they were largely given as fact. I was merely pointing out that those answers did not match up (very) well with the scripture references. The regard for context was missing and the support from any other authorities, i.e. scholars was lacking IMO. My experience on the SBF has taught me many things. One is we need to be mindful of (myself included) the result of and consequence of what we post. There are many people who daily come to the SBF asking questions and seeking answers. This entails a significant responsibility and we owe it that our replies be well studied and supported. (This doesn't mean to imply there isn't room for disagreement on non-essentials, etc.) Personally, I strive to be mindful of these things: 2 Tim. 2:15- 1. If I don't know the answer to a question (which happens regularly), I don't answer. I try to avoid "off-the-top-of-my-head" type responses. Or, I wait until I've had time to study and consider it more fully; 2. I take time to review my many notes on various topics and books of the Bible to refresh my memory; 3. I also utilize my Libronix (Electronic Bible Library) to research the Greek, Hebrew (if need be),and consult various Commentaries to gain better perspective; Lastly, as you may well realize, this is a public Forum and as such all of our posts are open to scrutiny by our peers. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

I must admit that I don't entirely agree with some of the answers given, but in the past have been able to "sift the wheat from the chaff" with prayer and study for myself, but this seems to be out of control to the point of worry for misguidance and responsibility as such. Whether the afore mentioned televangelist are "butchering" the scripture is not something that need to discussed for who made us authority? They and whoever else takes on the responsibilty of leadership shall be held accountable. We are all to study and and pray for ourselves to get understanding. So to all who participate, I would advise we all do as BradK does and be sure before we post. Walking in love, tron613 |

Greetings Tron613, We commanded by John in 1 john 4:1 to not believe everyone who claims to be of God, but to put them to the test. Paul told Timothy to study. in Acts 17:11, Paul and Silas were at the church in Berea, and the congregation was comparing what they were taught against the scriptures. We are under the mandate to make sure that everything we teach in God's name and from God's word is done so truthfully and accurately. Jesus himself even said that if we witness a brother sinning, then to confront that brother. In this case, scripture was being taken out of context, and false doctrine was being taught. It is the duty of every Christian to ensure that the Bible is taught with the utmost accuracy. Now, in reguard to my comment about "butchering" the Scripture, the WoF leaders, such as Hagee, Hinn, Copeland, and others do just that. This morning, I watched a portion of Hagee's sermons on the TV before I went to church. In the time span of only 5 minutes, he misquoted the Bible 4 times. After that, I changed the channel. This is supposed to be a trained biblical scholar, and he got the story of Adam and Eve totally backwards. So .. Yes, we do have the authority to question any teaching that is supposed to be about the Bible, and to test it against scripture. Yes, we do have the authority to correct the false teachers. If they correct their ways, then Jesus tells us to welcome them. If they refuse, then ultimately, they are to be shunned. I have no problems with any questionable or controversal teaching, so long as it can be accurately supported by scripture. I also have beliefs that some concider controversal. I also strive to accurately support every belief with scripture, not resorting to taking scripture out of context to support any of my claims. Jesusman |

With all due respect, I am not questioning your right to challenge, just merely stately that as you feel they are not doing sound teaching and will be held accountable, ohters may feel the same about you and therefore as I stated we should all be sure before we post. Walking in Love, tron613 |

Its becoming clear that the best we can do is to agree to disagree. When I hear or see false doctrine being taught, I am greatly offended. Why? Because I have devoted my life to the studying and understanding of the Bible. If I have a means of speaking out against false teachers, I do. If I have a means to correct the false teaching, I do just that. Taking no action is as much of a sin in my eyes as teaching these falsehoods myself. If no action is taken, then these false teachings will pass onto others, and will spread wildly. If anyone has problems with what I teach, then by all means, grab a Bible and let's talk it out. jesusman |

Again I said "study and pray" and be sure before you post. While I admire you conviction and know we are to beware false teaching, I remind you that when you are questioning other "leaders" you are in fact putting yourself in the seat to be questioned and held accountable. I don't disagree with you am just concerned. As always, walking in love, tron613 |

Let me clarify what I am saying with something that happened to a friend of mine. I had a friend that worked at a bank for several years. Most of the time, he was a teller, handling money. One day, he was invited by the Bank manager to go to the local federal reserve to count money all day. All he did during the period was count money that was fresh off the printers. He did this for a week straight, 8 hours a day. Over and over again. When he got back to the bank the next week, he began counting out money for a customer and stopped. He set a bill aside and pulled another out to replace it. He took the bill he set aside to his bank manage and told him it was a counterfit bill. The bank manager asked how he knew. My friend told him that he had counted the real thing over and over for a week straight. He knew it was counterfit because it didn't feel like the others. A christian who has been faithfull in his walk with christ will be studying and praying continuously. He won't have to study and pray further because as soon as a false teaching comes to him, he'll know it instantly. It doesn't matter who presenting the false teaching. I don't care if it is the Pope himself. If what they are teaching is contrary to the Bible, and if I have a means to communicate with them, I will tell them. I will also show them why their teaching is wrong with scriptural support. If I don't have a means to communicate with them, but can do so to the ones listening to the false teachings, I will counter with the true and scriptural message. Jesusman |
