I like what our late, brother kalos once said on the forum: "They do not have a good working knowledge of Scripture. Much tradition and ritual has crept into their worship. For many of them their religion doesn't appear to ever have been internalized. Religion to them is to speak Christian jargon, say the right things, attend services regularly to keep up appearances, and many other such things. I have met many of them whose religion has made little if any difference in the way they live. Many of them believe their church is the only one that has the truth, that they are the only ones who are going to heaven. They idolize one or more leaders whose every word they blindly accept. Also, on the one hand they believe that if you die with one unconfessed sin on your soul you are bound for hell. On the other hand they believe that if you just say the right words and ask for forgiveness, don't worry about it. As a result they have a casual attitude toward sin in their lives. Am I talking about Catholics [Roman Catholics]? No, I am not!" |

6 | "the ages before us" How many were there | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 239936 | ||
Hi, Mr. Jay... Relative to Ecclesiastes 1:10-11, the word "ages" here is associated with the thought that there is "nothing new under the sun" (v9b). Ages in this context is pretty much what we mean in English when we say "ages and ages ago." In other words, time immemorial. Consequently, there is nothing in this passage in the sense of particular epochs of time. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Don... Welcome to the forum! It would be helpful if you would use proper case in addressing us in the forum. It is easier on the eyes. Plus, anything that augments understanding, will help us answer your questions. Note, as well, that when you join the forum you explicitly agree to the Terms of Use. It might be helpful for you to read through it. While your personal beliefs are interesting, they are not germane to participation in the forum. We are a Study Bible Forum. Consequently, one of the things that our gracious host asks of us is that we post things with proper Biblical citations. So please tell us on what particular Scripture are you basing your assertions. In Him, Doc |

8 | WHATSOEVER YOU ASK THE FATHER | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 240170 | ||
Dear movingon, Despite the Campbellism advertising, there is a big problem here; i.e., making the Sermon on the Mount -- and, apparently, all the other places Christ mandates forgiveness -- as only applying to the Jews. A hermeneutic that is, by the way, unique to the antinomian dispensationalism to which you ascribe. (A kind of red-lettering distinction without a difference.) Nonetheless, if you dispense with the majority of the gospels as being inapplicable due to their being of "some other dispensation," then, at least in this instance, you will have to deal with the imperatives in passages mandating forgiveness (2 Corinthians 2:10-11; Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:13; 1 Peter 4:8) to Christian believers. In Him, Doc |

9 | How can I understand the Bible? | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 240237 | ||
Good, Jalek... this is what is called the historical-grammatical method of interpretation. That is an essential presupposition to the doctrine of sola Scriptura. "It will greatly help you to understand scripture if you note not only what is spoken and written, but of whom and to whom, with what words, at what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstances, considering what goes before and what follows." --Miles Coverdale (1488-1569) |

Hi, Joe... The English word based on the Greek for the new birth is regeneration (John 3:3). Tom Ascol wrote a good article summarizing regeneration here: http://www.founders.org/journal/fj34/article2.html In Him, Doc |

14 | will there be animals in heaven | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 240881 | ||
Hi, Bear... In theology the condition of man after death and prior to the resurrection is called the interim state. It is an abnormal condition, which will be corrected in the New Earth (see Revelation 21). Isaiah is speaking of this full restoration of creation in Isaiah 65. There is nothing explicit in Scripture that would indicate that animals continue to exist after death and certainly nothing at all about their being part of the resurrection. In your example relative to the white horse mentioned twice in Revelation -- even assuming we take all the animal references in that apocalypic work as literal beasts -- we certainly have nothing whatsoever to suggest that it was a horse that was once alive on the earth only to have gone to heaven after death. I sympathize with your love of animals. I hope that your love of the truth will be even greater. The things that God reveals to us in His Word are what we build our understanding upon (Deuteronomy 29:29), but we do not want to add things that are not there (Revelation 22:18-19). I rather suspect that what the future holds in Christ will be so utterly delightful, incredible, and wonderous that the things we hold as treasures in this temporal world will fade into utter unimportance (1 Corinthians 2:9). In Him, Doc |

16 | God created man sin-ful? | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 241535 | ||
Hi, Jer... I agree with you, and believe that your assertion is soundly based in the Scriptures. I cannot place my hands on the quote right now, however, I recall that John Calvin put it something like this (forgive the lose paraphrase): To the lost, the Law brings death and damnation, to the redeemed, it transforms itself into a kindly tutor. One other quote that comes to mind (again paraphrased) was from Martin Luther, who pointed out that the Law must do its breaking work before the Gospel can be applied as a healing balm. Anyway, thank you for your thoughts, sir! In Him, Doc |

17 | God created man sin-ful? | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 241538 | ||
Hi, Jer... Christians have been studying the Word of God now for 21 centuries. It would be odd if the Holy Spirit were speaking differently to everyone. Goodness, that wouldn't even be rational. Consequently, instead of trying to uncover something in the Word that no one has seen -- an arrogant and unlearned approach -- we expose the truth that God has given us (see Deuteronomy 29:29). Along the way various doctrines are so handy in discussion of the truth, that labels are developed (e.g., Augustinianism, Calvinism, Lutheranism, Methodism, Catholicism, etc.). Labels are a blessed and helpful thing. Indeed, labels are something that God Himself invented (Genesis 1:3b). The church has continued to use labels to identify even heretical teachings (e.g., Arianism, Gnosticism, Montanism, Subordinationism, Pelagianism, etc.). Do not be afraid of labels, nor eschew them, but attempt to understand them and use them rightly. Quoting Luther doesn't make one a Lutheran, quoting Wesley doesn't make one a Wesleyan, and quoting Calvin doesn't make one a Calvinist. Again, we do not seek to be the student of a man, but rather we seek the gift of the truth given us by the Spirit to God's own, the truth revealed in the Scriptures. Hence, in order to be stable and mature in the truth, we listen to what these gifts of pastors and teachers that have been given the church through the ages (Ephesian 4:8-15), seeking to surface what is true. In Him, Doc |

18 | HCSB what's your opinion? | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 241572 | ||
Dear Jer, Given that our gracious host is the Lockman Foundation, our posting and participation in this forum assumes appropriate levels of acceptance of their efforts and objectives. Nonetheless, since the inception of the Study Bible Forum, a number of KJV-Only folks have come along hoping to promulgate their positions at our host's expense. Consequently, use of the search functions to the right of your screen will yield great volumes of discussion to these points. Indeed, you will find posts with assertions like yours on one hand, along with others asserting various mystical sole authorities on the other. I reckon that just about everything that could be said -- rational and otherwise -- you will find in those archives. For good or ill, this venue preserves them for review by one and all. In Him, Doc |

19 | Woman's place in Heaven | Bible general | DocTrinsograce | 241591 | ||
Hi, wdc... Welcome back, by the way! :-) Paul's use of the phrase third heaven is idiomatic of his day, most commonly by the Greeks. The first heaven was what they called the atmosphere, the second heaven was what they called the area containing the stars and planets, and the third heaven was an ethereal realm. In Him, Doc |

Hi, Jer... Notice that justme has been on the forum for over twelve years. You have been here less than a month. You should understand that you will need to earn the respect of your opinion by contributing in the spirit of the Terms of Use for an extended period of time. Please continue to participate, but give evidence to the soundness of what you believe by rendering to others an appropriate level of esteem. We need not respect what others believe -- beliefs are things -- but we are to be respectful of people. In Him, Doc |
