1 | To my Calvinist friends. | 2 Pet 1:8 | Baptistbred | 97346 | ||
Doesn't 2 Peter 1:1-11 cast doubt on the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints? I quote from A.W. Pink: "In 2 Peter 1:8, we read: “For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The unescapable inference from this is that, if the “these things” (mentioned in 2 Peter 1:5–7) do not abound in us, we shall be “barren and unfruitful”—compare Titus 3:14. In such a case we bring forth nothing but leaves—the works of the flesh. Unspeakably solemn is this: one who has been bought at such infinite cost, saved by such wondrous grace, may yet, in this world, fall into a barren and unprofitable state, and thus fail to glorify God." If we can be "barren and unfruitful", how long can we be this way until we have proved we are not saved? Just a thought. This relates to my previous question "Who makes the rules." |

3 | Who makes the rules? | 1 John 3:9 | Baptistbred | 94284 | ||
I have been in the full time ministry for 29 years and given the last 15 years of my life to intense study of the Word of God. Nevertheless, I still am having difficulty understanding 1 John 3:9 and similar verses. I have all of John MacArthur's , J.Vernon McGee's, John Calvin's, John Gill's, Barnes Notes, etc....... Here is my question: Example given: I know a preacher who has pastored a church for over 40 years and has a good testimony. Has always been faithful to his wife and in almost every way been a good example of a minister. However in one area he has always failed. Exessive overeating and neglect of his Temple of God. Now, in view of 1 John 3:9 , has he NOT been continuing in sin for 40 years? By the way, he has suffered tremendous health problems for many years and could die at any time because of these. Who makes the rules as to WHAT sins one has to continue in to be "continuing in sin?" |

4 | Actions betray condtion? | 1 John 1:7 | Baptistbred | 78334 | ||
Can one judge if one is saved by his actions? John Calvin's comments on 1 John 1:7: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." "Then, integrity of conscience is alone that which distinguishes light from darkness" I fully agree that God only knows one's heart, but I still believe the bible teaches we can discern to a certain extent the general state of one's relationship with/without God. Along this line, please tell me how Barnes' comments on Acts 8:23 apply: Verse 23:"For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.". For I perceive. That is, by the act which he had done. His offer had shown a state of mind that was wholly inconsistent with true religion. One single sin may as certainly show that there is no true piety, as many acts of iniquity. It may be so decided, so malignant, so utterly inconsistent with just views, as at once to determine what the character is. The sin of Simon was of this character. Peter here does not appear to have claimed the power of judging the heart; but he judged, as all other men would, by the act. |

5 | Perseverance of the saints | 1 Cor 13:4 | Baptistbred | 76300 | ||
Let me restate my question. In Matthew 18:22 the context is "continuing forgiveness" for repeated sins against us by a brother. This constitutes "continuing sinning" by a brother.(i.e. because we are to forgive him "continuously") How is this true in the context of the biblical doctrine of Perseverance of the Saints? I.E. How could a brother "continue sinning" against a brother in the first place according to 1 John 3:9? |

6 | continuing in sin | Matt 18:22 | Baptistbred | 76285 | ||
How does one reconcile John 8:31, 1 John 3:9, 1 John 5:18, Job 17:9, etc. (I. E. the Doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints) , with Matthew 18:22? If a brother sins day after day, after day, times without number, doesn't that constitute "continuing in sin"? Shawn Lam. 3:22-23 |

7 | Greek words NOT translated ............ | Bible general Archive 1 | Baptistbred | 69595 | ||
I have the Logos Library Digital version of the KJV. At Hundreds of places within the text there are "little crosses" signifying: "A Greek word occurs that is not directly translated in the King James Version." An example is Romans 8:29 in which Strongs # 1161 Greek word is not translated. Can someone shed some light on the fact of "Why did not the translators translate these Greek words if they were in the original Greek text, and "Does the NASB and other versions ALSO not translate certain Greek words in the Greek Manuscripts? | ||||||

9 | David's sin forgiven when? | 2 Sam 12:13 | Baptistbred | 64235 | ||
In studying the doctrine of God's imputation of righteousness to those who believe , I consulted Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Samuel 12:13. However, Clarkes' comments on this verse seem to contradict the apostle Paul's reference to Ps. 32: 1,2 in Romans 4:6,7? It seems to me that Paul is trying to prove that one is forgiven by faith , by using David's confession and immediate forgiveness of his sin with Bathsheba.( Paul refers to Ps. 32, and Ps. 32 refers to 2 Sam. 12:13) Yet, Clarke says that David's sin was NOT forgiven when he said "I have sinned against the Lord" and Nathan replied, " The Lord hath also put away thy sin." I always thought that David's confession In 2 Sam. 12:13 was when he was forgiven? Kept by Him, Shawn Lam. 3:22-23 |

13 | Job DID charge God foolishly? | Job 1:22 | Baptistbred | 45479 | ||
Will someone please help reconcile Job 1:22 and 2:10 with Job 9:22-24? All my many commentaries often quote 1:22 in commendation of Job, but never fully explain the verses in chapter 9, or explain why God rebuked Job in the latter chapters of the book if Job sinned not with His lips or charged God foolishly. | ||||||

Thanks, I believe this also. I was another bible study forum where someone was railing against that doctrine. Do you believe Romans 5:18 disproves the doctrine of limited atonement? |
