1 | Can Satan ever speak truth? | John 8:44 | thenoel2 | 236692 | ||
Satan may at times acknowledge the truth but it is never in his spirit. His intention always is to deceive. He may use truth and thwart it for his own purposes. For example in Luke 4:34 Satan says this: “Go away! What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” Here you see the acknowledgement of Jesus and who He is. |

3 | Verses That Point to No Races? | Bible general Archive 3 | thenoel2 | 181091 | ||
Yes, I suppose the issue is semantics. I do know that interacial marriage is not condemned by the Bible. I know that it is perfectly fine. My question was not about marriage; sorry for not stating that. I just wanted to know if there are any verses that specifically state that there is only one race. But as you pointed that depends on semantics. I guess I was intermingling ethnicity and race. And I suppose there are multiple ethnic types. Thanks for clearing that up. |

4 | Should a member rebuke an elder? | 1 Chr 16:22 | thenoel2 | 179927 | ||
Doc, thanks for your follow-up. I did realize that Gen 34:30 is Jacob speaking to is sons. My point here is not about the rebuke, but to point out that Jacob was fearful of physical harm and that 1Chr 16:22 talks about physical protection from harm. Thanks for retracting your comments on 1 Tim 5:19-20. Titus 1:13 is indeed what you say. I did not mean to imply otherwise, but I was trying to point out that rebuke can be done for anyone - elders, pastors, or lay-people. I think we all as believers have a responsibility to uphold values according to scripture. I agree with your definition of rebuke. I was trying to point out the same. Rebuke can be done with love and if scripture and Biblical government is not upheld in the church then any believer can make a stand. Admitedly, I did not read Bereniam's history. I was just responding to this post only. Obviously, the rebuke should only happen if something is truly un-Bblical and then the rebuker must make sure that they are Biblical in the rebuke. Thanks for suggesting Gal 6. Indeed that would be a great guide. |

5 | DOES YOUR PASTOR BELIEVE THE BIBLE? | Bible general Archive 1 | thenoel2 | 179882 | ||
Hank, thanks for that. You are right - I just did not see the source she referenced. Also, I just joined the forum and did not pay attention to the dates. I guess I prematurely posted without seeing the dates. It is quite old, but I did not realize it. But still the facts amaze me if they are true. I wonder if there has been any more similar and recent polls been done. | ||||||
6 | Should a member rebuke an elder? | 1 Chr 16:22 | thenoel2 | 179880 | ||
To confront an elder when actions seem not to be Biblical is not doing them harm but rather helping them. Further, this verse is talking about physical violence not a rebuke done in love. The verse is in reference to Jacob - who was not a pastor/preacher or at least not as how we see preachers/pastors today. Jacob was in fear while traveling from one nation to another he voiced this in Genesis 34:30: "And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house." In fact, all including elders need to be rebuked to keep from sin. Titus 1:13 says: "Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith." A good way to approach your situation may be as stated in 1 Timothy 5:19-20 which says: 19Do not entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses. 20Those who sin are to be rebuked publicly, so that the others may take warning. (NIV) Note that it does say they are to be rebuked but with witnesses. Also, do not misinterpret this verse as meaning only the elect few are the Lord's annoninted. All true Christians are annointed by the Lord. The Bible specifically says so. See 1 John 2:20,27 Also see 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 I may even go as far to claim that we all are priests as believers. This means those constantly growing spiritually in Christ. I claim this because of 1 Peter 2:5,9 Hope this helps a bit. |
