3 | Careful Bible Study -- Not Mysticism | Jer 23:16 | quvmoh | 206902 | ||
Hank, You're right about one thing. I don't know who Sinclair Ferguson is. I haven't read any of his works and I wouldn't know him if he walked up to me on the street and shook my hand. My post is not to criticize Sinclair Ferguson, but against Doc. What is posted was well thought out and well organized, and I assumed copied well. But I ask again .. So what? As I replied to WOS's comment, How does this article relate to the verse in Jeremiah? I don't know where this article comes from because there isn't a book cited, nor is there a website given, nor is there a date .. nothing. Zilch is given, Hank, about where this comes from other than a Name. All I am asking for is an explanation or insight about how this copied article relates to Jeremiah 23 or vice versa. Is that too much to ask for? This article implies by the title that Bible study is important. How can I study and take it to heart if I don't even know anything about the article or Sinclair Ferguson? What is the context? quvmoh |

4 | Careful Bible Study -- Not Mysticism | Jer 23:16 | quvmoh | 206901 | ||
What is wrong with what the response I gave? I want further insight about the copied article. How does it relate to us as Christians Today? How does it relate to the Bible? Why did the poster feel compelled to put that up on the forums? I apologize if my response is offensive. It was not intended to be such. It is intended to get more information. Was the post intended to educate us? Was it intended to encourage conversation? Was it intended to show how resourceful the poster is and how extensive his library is? There is nothing provided but a copied article with the original author's name given. There is nothing else there. No comments. No insights. No scripture verses aside from the one where it is filed in to. Not even a comment about how to copied article relates to the verse in Jeremiah. I applaud Doc on his resourcefulness and the extensiveness of his library. However, how does the copied article relate to this verse in Jeremiah? While it is becoming a Christian not respond at all, it is equally becoming of a Christian to explain what is provided. Quvmoh |

Your thoughts on this is? How does this one man's comments apply to us today and apply to the Bible? What does the author say afterwards about these observations? What is his advice concerning this? No offense intended, Doc, but .. So what? Quvmoh |

6 | wrong and right to marry the person | Ephesians | quvmoh | 206867 | ||
I know. I can read also. The point being that if God has destined for a couple to marry, then there is no "right" or "wrong" person. This includes, obviously, prayer and fellowship in the Holy Spirit. It has been my observation that many couples enter marriage with the idea that it has a money back guarantee. That if they don't like being married, they can essentially trade it in for a different model or get their money back. However, In many of the marriages that have lasted a lifetime, I've noticed three consistent factors. First, God was worshiped and his word studied. Second, Divorce was never an option. Third, They loved each other and respected one another as Paul describes in Ephesians 5. quvmoh |

I'm not an advocate of evolution in the least. In fact, I'm a creationist. I'm not saying I have the answers, all I'm saying is that there is plenty of time for God and Nature to develop a single family into the multitude of nations and races we have now. quvmoh |

There are two primary trains of thought about this. Open genealogies or closed genealogies. The strict and literal that I referred to is the closed genealogies. However, the open says that the genealogies are really outlines, giving us the important figures of the family line which even skip a generation or two between named. Norman Geisler's book, Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics goes into far greater detail about this topic than I can provide. As for the figure of 3 million, its an estimate based upon the figures presented in the book of Numbers as well as in Exodus. Exodus 12 says that the journey started with 600,000 men, aside from children, and obviously not including women. The figures in numbers present a total of 2 - 3 million. The introduction to the Book of Numbers in the NASB study Bible gives 2 million as the population count. I've heard it higher from sources like Josh McDowell on tv and others. quvmoh |

11 | Binding and Losing? | Matt 16:19 | quvmoh | 205990 | ||
After looking back, Agreed, Jesus was directing most of his comments to Peter, but as I pointed out, the context shows that Peter wasn't there by himself. The other disciples were there as well. On a number of occasions, Jesus tells the disciples that they will receive access to greater abilities through the Holy Spirit. So while it's directed at Peter, it does not negate the fact that others were listening and would have applied the message to themselves as well. Peter wasn't the only Disciple after the Resurrection to have performed miracles and wonders. quvmoh |

12 | How to Understand andApply this Passage? | 2 Cor 10:12 | quvmoh | 205989 | ||
Paul tells us to be the best in what situation we are in. If employees or slaves, then honor the one we work for as if working for God. If the employer or Owner, then act as God or Christ would. That doesn't mean he condoned such, just how we should act in such a class within society. However, here he is referring to social classes in a church setting. His point here is there shouldn't be any. Quvmoh |

13 | Creeds and Confessions Needful? | Bible general Archive 4 | quvmoh | 205904 | ||
Greetings, I cannot say about many of the Baptists denominations, but about the Southern Baptists. We adhere to the Baptist Faith and Message, which isn't a Creed but a statement of what we believe. It does summarize and touch on various confessions and creed. As for sola scriptura, the Bible, as in the Old and New testaments, is the only authority of God's word because other so called holy documents fail the test of canonicity. Like the apocrypha, for example, doesn't hold true to prophecy as being scriptural, as well as authors being ambiguous, and many other reasons. The book of mormon isn't concidered to be scripture either, and neither is the koran. The view that many of the churches I have belonged to hold that Christian History, tradition, and even creeds and confessions are good for helping to interpret the scripture, but that they must give leave to the Authority of scripture first. If something with theology or interpretation is inconsistant with the Scripture, you alter the theology or interpretation, not the Bible. Many false beliefs, assumptions, and inconsistant theologies have emerged in the Church as a whole because someone placed another source on equal authority to the Bible. By being sola scriptura, we try to prevent that as much as possible. quvmoh |

I've known all along what I will do. It seems absurd in my mind to force christians to do such things. Would the government tell a school teacher not to teach fractions in math class because some children find it hard? No, of course not. I'm not diplomatic, nor politically correct, and I'm not about to start now. quvmoh |

15 | homosexual brain wired that way at birth | 1 Cor 6:9 | quvmoh | 205800 | ||
I agree. I've never been one to hold my tongue about what I believe. It's gotten me in trouble many times since high school when I first wore Jesus shirts and carried a scofield bible in my book bag. I'm a strong supporter of the first amendment. While I have since learned a bit of finesse about how to witness, I'm not about to start changing the Bible because it hurts someone's feelings. If a simple passage hurts their feelings, then they should be overjoyed they didn't live in my home growing up where Dad and Mom hurt my feelings all over the house. Quvmoh |

Greetings Azure, I am well aware what society proclaims. In my region of the USA, much of the same is proclaimed. However, as a christian, I am bound by faith to forgive and love the sinner, and witness to the sinner, but that does not mean that I should accept the sin and habits. Even in this society of political correctness, I cannot in good conscience accept something that I personally view as wrong. I do not know about you, or anyone else on this forum, but I am greatly upset by the changes in modern society. I am being forced, by law, to change my religious beliefs by a government that claims to uphold separation between church and state. I, as a pastor and christian, cannot tell someone that what they are doing is contradictory to God's word. Reguardless if that person is in my congregation, approaches me, or is even a fellow pastor.

I mean no offense to Tim or anyone if I come across as a bit strong. I realize this isn't a critical issue in regards to salvation, but I am convicted to ensure that Context is not taken lightly and that my own claims are within context and well founded. Quvmoh |

19 | "sons of God saw daughters of men?" | Genesis | quvmoh | 203313 | ||
um .. what?? The passage in Luke is stating that angels don't marry, nor die. He's not calling them "sons". He's calling the humans in heaven the "Sons". As for the Nephilim, I have one simple little tiny question. How many Nephilim did Noah take onto the Ark? Quvmoh |

I was clarifying the context of the passages he gave, showing that the context supports what I had previously said. I didn't intend to come across as harsh, merely trying to strengthen the support of my claims. Quvmoh |
