2 | Doing for Others | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 216082 | ||
Recently I heard someone on a radio program asked if he was religious. He said that he was not religious at all. However, he said he believed in karma. When asked to expand on that, he said that he believed that the greatest rewards in life were achieved when doing things for others. "In fact, the more selfless the act, the great the reward." Now, let me ask this: Thinking Biblically, what is the fundamental error revealed by this statement? |

3 | Prayer Request | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 228727 | ||
Prayer request from a friend: "Gwen is a CDH baby. Her diaphragm did not close properly and her intestines and stomach are in her chest cavity, impeded proper development of heart and lungs. One lung was developed fine but it has collapsed twice (the other lung is virtually useless). The machine she is on (in a specialty hospital 300 miles away from us [her grandparents]) was beating her heart, breathing for her and circulating her blood, taking out the used blood, removing the carbon dioxide, oxygenating it and warming it and recirculating it. This began when she was born 6/25/11. These babies only have a 50/50 chance of survival. Today, she is beating her own heart and she is down to 70 percent O2. but she still needs to gain strength to survive corrective surgery." Thank you. |

6 | A Command of Jesus | Bible general Archive 2 | DocTrinsograce | 125932 | ||
Dear stultis, please forgive me. I did not seek to mock in any way. I have the heart of a teacher, so I explain and ask questions. Sometimes it is difficult in this format to accurately express ourselves. I never mean to be condescending or mocking. I am far too aware of my own inadequacies. I am a very poor and imperfect follower of our Lord and Savior. I have failed Him far too many times. Even in my best obedience I often spoil it by stealing His glory through spiritual pride. How could I condescend to or mock any child of our Lord knowing my own faults and failings so well? Perhaps the tone came off the way it did because I posted my question in haste. I have a teachers heart so I tend to explain or question. I hope that you will forgive me. The passage that I was referring to was Mat 23:1-3 which I have pasted here: (1) Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, (2) Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: (3) All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. Here Christ tells both his disciples and the crowd around him to do what the Pharisees say they ought to do. Based on your previous posts I wondered how you interpretted this passage. |

7 | Torah vs Mishna | Bible general Archive 2 | DocTrinsograce | 125952 | ||
You state that the Pharisees taught the Law. But is this all that they taught? In addition to the Torah (Moses Law) they were also teaching the Mishna (the oral traditions of Moses' 70 elders). The former is often preceded by "it is written." The latter the latter is often preceded by , "it is said." Yet Christ said "whatsoever" they bid you do, do. Nevertheless, this is the same stuff that Christ condemned as "replacing the law by the traditions of men." What do you make of that? | ||||||
8 | Who made us? | Bible general Archive 2 | DocTrinsograce | 126814 | ||
Doc continues to quibble: What about, Psalm 100:3a "Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;"? | ||||||
9 | Najaf in Scripture? | Bible general Archive 2 | DocTrinsograce | 129275 | ||
Hi, Emmaus... Do you know if this city is mentioned in scripture? I don't find it -- at least with that spelling -- in a concordance. Thank you! | ||||||
10 | Translation Methods | Bible general Archive 2 | DocTrinsograce | 133832 | ||
There are three major schools of thought when it comes to Bible translations: 1. Formal Equivalence: word-for-word 2. Dynamic Equivalence: thought-for-thought 3. Paraphrase The NASB is an example of Formal Equivalence. The NIV is an example of Dynamic Equivalence. The Living Bible is an example of Paraphrase. From your own perspective, explain what you think are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these approaches. |

11 | Which Gate? | NT general Archive 1 | DocTrinsograce | 129225 | ||

12 | National Day of Prayer | 2 Chr 7:1 | DocTrinsograce | 147461 | ||
Having posted this about a fortnight ago, and receiving now responses, I will post it again as a question. Thank you. "The grand object in prayer is to be, that the Holy Spirit may be poured down on our ministers and churches, that sinners may be converted, the saints edified, the interest of religion revived, and the name of God glorified. At the same time remember, we trust you will not confine your requests to your own societies (i.e. churches) or to your own immediate connection (i.e. denomination); let the whole interest of Redeemer be affectionately remembered, and the spread of the gospel to the most distant parts of the habitable globe be the object of your most fervent requests. We shall rejoice if any other Christian societies of our own or other denomination will unite with us, and do now invite them most cordially to join heart and hand in the attempt. "Who can tell what the consequences of such an united effort in prayer may be! Let us plead with God the many gracious promises of His word, which relate to the future success of His gospel. He has said, 'I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them, I will increase them with men like a flock' (Ezek. 36:37). Surely we have love enough for Zion to set apart one hour at a time, twelve times in a year, to seek her welfare." --John Sutcliff 1784 Dear Friends, There are many obstacles this year to the National Day of Prayer preparations that take place in our community. Clearly there are challanges brought by the Enemy, and many other contributing factors. To date, we have managed to keep it a soldily Christian time of prayer. Would you -- brothers and sisters in the Lord -- please pray with us and for us that God will provide, strength, leadership, laborers, and opportunities to continue this year to His glory. In Him, Doc |

15 | Does the Word say anything about music? | Is 5:20 | DocTrinsograce | 143095 | ||
Recent comments in the forum have me curious about the opinions of others on the subject of music. Is sound capable of moral influence? Does music alone, with or without lyrics, carry and communicate moral value? Is music amoral (i.e., does God have no opinion about music)? Is there scripture that weighs in on this issue one way or another? Please note that the questions have nothing to do with worship music. I'd appreciate scriptural input on the narrow subject of the questions themselves. In Him, Doc |

16 | Is music amoral? | Is 5:20 | DocTrinsograce | 143110 | ||
Thank you, brother Ed for the music reference passages. How do these passages weigh in on the question: "Is sound capable of moral influence? Does music alone, with or without lyrics, carry and communicate moral value? Is music amoral (i.e., does God have no opinion about music)?" In Him, Doc |

18 | Alms Giving, Fasting, and Praying | Matt 6:1 | DocTrinsograce | 145540 | ||
In the teaching of chapter six of Matthew, Christ discusses three activities: Alms giving, fasting, and prayer. It seems to me that Alms giving is focusing on others, fasting is focusing (not in a bad way) on one's self, and prayer is focusing on God. Was there any other particular reason that Christ might have chosen these three activites? Are they intended to be of equal importance in some way? Please let me know if you have any insights into these questions on this particular passage. Thank you! | ||||||

20 | Why did the Savior Dread the Cup? | Matt 26:38 | DocTrinsograce | 133087 | ||
At Gethsemane Jesus was anticipating what was facing Him. Was it the the torture, abuse, and physical torment that He was about to experience that caused Him to ask the Father to "let this cup pass from me?" Please explain your answer. (This isn't a leading question. A recent post made me curious what people thought of this.) | ||||||
