I pass judgment on no one. 13 The Pharisees challenged him, "Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid." 14 Jesus answered, "Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going. 15 You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one. 16 But if I do judge, my decisions are right, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me." John 8:13-16 New International Version Agnostic, I have no window to look into another man's soul. I'm sure I do not know what it is you do or do not wish to find. --Kalos |

Did all the world go after Christ? [Note: In the following quote the discussion is not about the English word all. Rather it is a discussion of the meaning(s) of the Greek word that is translated all in the English NT.] NASB Luke 6:30 "Give to everyone (3956) who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. Strong's Number: 3956 Transliterated Word: Pas 'Definition '1. individually a. each, every, any, all, the whole, everyone, all things, everything '2. collectively a. some of all types '..."the whole world has gone after him" Did all the world go after Christ? '"then went all Judea, and were baptized of him in Jordan." Was all Judea, or all Jerusalem, baptized in Jordan? '"Ye are of God, little children, and the whole world lieth in the wicked one". Does the whole world there mean everybody? 'The words "world" and "all" are used in some seven or eight senses in Scripture, and it is very rarely the "all" means all persons, taken individually. The words are generally used to signify that Christ has redeemed some of all sorts -- some Jews, some Gentiles, some rich, some poor -- and has not restricted His redemption to either Jew or Gentile...'

Tim: I do appreciate your post. Iron sharpens iron. Anytime someone causes me to dig deeper into a subject and examine my evidence, my reasons, for accepting a particular interpretation of Scripture, it is an opportunity for my edification and further understanding. 'Strong's Number: 3956 'Transliterated Word: Pas 'Definition '1. individually a. each, every, any, all, the whole, everyone, all things, everything '2. collectively a. some of all types' May I ask, how do you reconcile Luke 6:30 and 2 Thessalonians 3:10? If Strongs is wrong and "some of all types" is not a valid definition of "Pas", are we indeed to encourage sloth, irresponsibility, and laziness by being indiscriminate in our giving to individuals? If the ONLY definition of "Pas" is "each, every, any, all, the whole, everyone, all things, everything", then we can ignore the plain text meaning and implications of 2 Th 3:10 and feed those who will not work. NASB Luke 6:30 "Give to everyone (Strong's# 3956) who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back." NASB 2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. Grace to you, Kalos |

This is a requirement for our High School Bible Class." What is the requirement for your class? Is it to ask these questions at an online forum?

14 | Is trespassing ever right? Is violence? | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 162246 | ||
No such thing as a moral dilemma? Part 2 'White Lies and Other Deceptions 'by Gregory Koukl 'Is trespassing [ever right]? Is violence? Some thoughts to help you sharpen your ability to make ethical decisions. (...) 'A moral dilemma is when you must choose one of two things, but either thing would be wrong to do when taken on its own. Do you endanger a human life, or do you tell a lie? If you choose to tell the truth, you may do right by telling the truth, but it seems you do wrong by exposing a human being to serious harm. If you protect the human being by lying, well, you've saved a life, but told a lie. That is a moral or ethical dilemma. 'There are a couple of different ways Christians have approached this historically. One is to claim there really is no such thing as an ethical dilemma. Some will say you should never lie, you should always tell the truth, and let God worry about the consequences. (...) 'The Bible gives us some guidance on this. It teaches that not all sins are the same. Some are more egregious than others. This is very clear in the Scriptures. Jesus said to Pilate, "He who delivered Me up to you has the greater sin" (John 19:11). According to Jesus, some sins are greater than others. 'Common sense alone tells us that stealing a pencil is not as serious a crime as taking someone's life. Make no mistake, it's still a sin, and even a small sin is enough to make us guilty before God. But all sin is not the same to God. He certainly does make distinctions. And because God makes distinctions, it's possible for us to solve ethical dilemmas. When stuck between two options, we choose the greater good. 'What about so-called "white lies." Are they okay since they're only small deceptions? My rule is this: I think people should tell the truth unless they have a more weighty moral reason not to be straightforward. 'If my wife asked me if I thought she was overweight and she was, I wouldn't say, "No, honey, you're perfect." First, she probably knows better. Second, I think she'd actually be looking for affirmation from me, not really an assessment of her weight. I'd tell her what I thought, but would be careful to do it in a way that protected her as an individual. I'd let her know that being overweight wouldn't change my love for her. 'Here is another example, a classic for single guys. A guy goes out on a date and doesn't enjoy himself, so he wouldn't be inclined to ask the young lady out again, though he suspects she enjoyed herself and would like to get together again. What does he say when he drops her off? He isn't going to say, "I'm never going to call you again," yet he doesn't want to just walk away and say nothing. Because of the awkwardness he says, "I'll call you," but he doesn't intend to and never does. 'I think that's wrong. There is no moral reason to lie to her. He's just saving himself from a little awkwardness, but he's telling an untruth. 'I also think it's wrong to tell children that Santa Claus is real. It accomplishes no superior moral purpose. It's only deception. Children might eventually believe you've deceived them about God, too. They can't see Santa and they can't see God, either. There's no good reason to create a problem by starting with a deception. 'It takes some moral development to be able to solve ethical dilemmas. People who aren't working at it will not be capable of making good ethical decisions because they are not alert to ethical distinctions. (...) 'We can only be adept at solving ethical problems if we give some effort to thinking about it and to living the ethical life. 'I think lying is right sometimes. I think Rahab did right when she lied about the spies. I think the Hebrew midwives did right when they lied to Pharaoh to protect the lives of the Hebrew children. 'I think trespassing is right sometimes. I think violence is right sometimes. I think there are many things that, in isolation, would be wrong, but when a higher moral good is served, they not only become not wrong, they become obligatory. That's hard for some to accept. 'Rahab was obliged to lie to protect the lives of those spies. Both James and the writer of Hebrews applaud her for her action. They didn't say, "Shame, shame, but I guess you chose the lesser of two evils." Instead, they acted like she chose the greater of two goods. She did what was right. 'I think that's the Biblical view. In Acts 4, the apostles were told to disobey the government and preach the gospel. Paul says that we are obliged to obey the government. Yet when the government tells us to disobey a higher command of God, then we are morally obliged to disobey the government. We have to choose the greater good, as the disciples did.' ____________________ This is a transcript of a commentary from the radio show "Stand to Reason," with Gregory Koukl www.str.org |

15 | Islam, the religion of peace, and Terror | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 162758 | ||
Islam, the religion of peace, and Terrorism '"Truthfully your condeming of our faith would probably have you warned, and if you persisted, would have consequences, of which i am not sure. But there have been cases where people have been put to death for MALICIOUSLY harming the image of our noble master Muhammad, the best creation of God. But you fail to see that islam means peace, just as when we meet each other and say 'assalamu alaikum' 'peace be upon you' to our brothers. We are a tolerant religion, and our communities have and still have many faiths still practicing their own religions in islamic land. From the time of the prophet up until today." ' The preceding quote was received via e-mail from a Muslim. Notice that he says Islam is a religion of peace, yet that there would be "consequences" for me in my condemnation of Islam. He then mentions how people have been killed for harming the image of Mohammed. Quite frankly, Mohammed damages his own image when he marries multiple women, advocates lying, and spreads his religion by the sword. (...) 'As you can see, the Qur'an definitely teaches that it's people are to fight for the cause of Islam. This list of verses is important because they are within the holy book of Islam. What are we to conclude if a Muslim were to take the Quran seriously? Is he not obligated to slay non-Muslims, to go to war, to kill those against Islam, etc.? Isn't this what the verses are teaching? Yes, they are and this is the source of Islamic Terrorism. (...) ' Do Muslims practice the Qur'an principle of killing non Muslims? Yes they do. Following is a list of some articles that you can read a demonstrate some of the actions taken by Moslems in different parts of the world. 'Muslims torture Christian to death 'Muslims slaughter 600 Christians 'Killing Christians and burn down churches 'Muslims slaughtering Christians in the Sudan 'Islam killing Christians 'Killing Infidels 'Killing by beheading is Islamic ' Since Islam teaches that the entire world is to be subjected to its laws, we need to prepare ourselves to withstand the future attacks motivated from the Quran that teaches killing in subjection of the unbelievers. We Christians need to be in prayer for the Muslims so that they would come to know the truth of who Jesus is and follow his peaceful ways, instead of promoting Islam by the sword.' ____________________ www.carm.org/islam/terrorism.htm islam |

Mohammed - Terrorist or Prophet? ____________________ Christians and Jewish martyrs say; "I will die for what I believe". A Muslim martyr says; "you will die for what I believe".... ____________________ 'We apologize to anyone who may be offended by the history of the founder of Islam (Mohammed) below. And we are aware of the sensitivities involved. However, infinitely more damage has been done to Islam's "believers" by Islam's history of withholding the truth about its founder to them -- - and the circumstances surrounding its inception -- than any "damage" this true history below can cause. 'This article is intended to warn Christians who may be "duped" into Islam, because they did not have all the facts. The immortal souls of billions of individuals are involved here. To good Muslims I say; "I have sympathy with your having to grow up in a closed society -- where not embracing Islam would have gotten you shunned or even killed". According to many interpretations of the Qur'an (aka: Koran), conversion to a faith other than Islam is punishable by death. 'The Muslim Qur'an is unique among all the sacred writings in the entire world -- because it alone counsels its followers to make war on unbelievers. 'Read the true history of Islam below and then look into your own heart to see if you are missing something, or if you have been lied to regarding Islam itself...'

More questions for Muslims ' Dear Muslim, I do not post these questions as a "proof" that Islam is false. I do not believe that is possible with a simple list of questions. Nevertheless, they are here to encourage discussion that the truth may be known. 'The Qur'an states that you shall marry only up to four women: "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with orphans, marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or that which your right hands possess..." (4:3). 'If the Qur'an is eternal, having been written on the table in heaven, then the four wife limit was an eternal decree. 'Question: Why did Muhammad have 12 wives if the Qur'an says to have only four? Khadija, sawda, Aesah (8 years old), Omm Salama, Hafsa, Zaynab (originally the wife of Muhammad's adopted son), Jowayriya, Omm Habiba, Safiya, Maymuna, Fatima, Hend, Asma (of Saba), Zaynab, Habla, Asma?...'

You write: "I will admit I may disagree with orthodox confessions and theologians. They were not inspired, which leaves the possibility that their interpretation of Scripture is erred at some points. However, I do not think my view of the Bible at present is basically erred." And what? You WERE inspired? ____________________ "It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others." -- C. H. Spurgeon ____________________ "In order to be able to expound the Scriptures, and as an aid to your pulpit studies, you will need to be familiar with the commentators: a glorious army, let me tell you, whose acquaintance will be your delight and profit. Of course, you are not such wiseacres as to think or say that you can expound Scripture without assistance from the works of divines and learned men who have labored before you in the field of exposition. If you are of that opinion, pray remain so, for you are not worth the trouble of conversion, and like a little coterie who think with you, would resent the attempt as an insult to your infallibility. It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others." -- C. H. Spurgeon |

Did you know...? God sits at a desk up in heaven all day with a pencil and a big eraser. Whenever a believer sins, he erases their name. When they confess, he pencils it back in. Sin, erase. Confess, write it down. Isn't this a ludicrous picture? Yet that's what some would have us believe. "The good news is, God's pencil has no eraser. Before you breathed your first word, God knew how you would respond to His offer of grace. According to His foreknowledge, He wrote your name in the book of life." ____________________ (www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/ bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html) Grace to you, Kalos |
