101 | Why was Jesus a carpenter? | NT general | BradK | 231416 | ||
Hello notlost, It's possible one might think about their destination- as our Lord noted later in Matt. 20:28. But, to say anything beyond what we're told in scripture is to enter into speculation:-) BradK |

102 | reference : Ezekiel 39:4 | Ezekiel | BradK | 231379 | ||
Hello Jim, Welcome to the Forum. I'm unaware of this term being used as you describe. It's not found within scripture and the verse in Ez. 39:4 is 'tsippor' (Heb), which means bird or fowl. As such, I'd have no ready reference about books or commentaries that would use it. You might Google the term- but proceed carefully! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello sisterbaby, Welcome to the Forum. Reformed theology would hold that Apostolic authority does not get passed on. We have a doctrinal succession, not eclessiastical, so there are no more true apostles. Scripturally, believers are called "saints"- those who are in Christ. (Rom. 1:7, 1 Cor. 1:2, etc) In Jer. 1:4, Jeremiah was consecrated- the primary meaning of this word being 'to consecrate, sanctify, dedicate, prepare'- and it certainly does convey 'to be holy'. I think the far more common term for Christians- at least scripturally- is saints or brethren. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

112 | Will ALL of Israel be saved? | Revelation | BradK | 231340 | ||
Hello HOTH, I appreciate the discussion. Here's what I'd add for consideration. What John Hagee teaches regarding Israel is what I'd term a "Dual Covenant Theory". He does not believe that Jews even need to be evangelized! They're saved because of their lineage! This is simply counter to the teaching of scripture and is heterodox! He is guilty of preaching another gospel (Gal. 1:8-9). Keep in mind we need to consider what Paul has already said in previous chapters of his argument in Romans. Rom 3:9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; Rom 3:10 as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; Rom 3:11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; All are under condemnation of sin; both Jews and Gentiles. Then note, Paul's only prayer for unbelievers is for his beloved Israel- Rom 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. Rom 10:2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. It is for their salvation, not that they are already saved. Next, we see who can be saved and how. Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; Rom 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. Rom 10:11 For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." Rom 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; Rom 10:13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." This most definitely applies to Israel. In understanding Rom. 11:27, here's a couple of perspectives: The Commentary Critical - "26, 27. And so all Israel shall be saved— To understand this great statement, as some still do, merely of such a gradual inbringing of individual Jews, that there shall at length remain none in unbelief, is to do manifest violence both to it and to the whole context. It can only mean the ultimate ingathering of Israel as a nation, in contrast with the present “remnant.” (So THOLUCK, MEYER, DE WETTE, PHILIPPI, ALFORD, HODGE). Three confirmations of this now follow: two from the prophets, and a third from the Abrahamic covenant itself. First, as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall—or, according to what seems the true reading, without the “and”—“He shall” turn away ungodliness from Jacob—The apostle, having drawn his illustrations of man’s sinfulness chiefly from Ps 14:1–7 and Is 59:1–21, now seems to combine the language of the same two places regarding Israel’s salvation from it [BENGEL]. In the one place the Psalmist longs to see the “salvation of Israel coming out of Zion” (Ps 14:7); in the other, the prophet announces that “the Redeemer (or, ‘Deliverer’) shall come to (or ‘for’) Zion” (Is 59:20). But as all the glorious manifestations of Israel’s God were regarded as issuing out of Zion, as the seat of His manifested glory (Ps 20:2; 110:2; Is 31:9), the turn which the apostle gives to the words merely adds to them that familiar idea. And whereas the prophet announces that He “shall come to (or, ‘for’) them that turn from transgression in Jacob,” while the apostle makes Him say that He shall come “to turn away ungodliness from Jacob,” this is taken from the Septuagint version, and seems to indicate a different reading of the original text. The sense, however, is substantially the same in both." Dr. Kenneth Weust offers this- "(11:26, 27) “And thus”—“not merely temporal, but under the influence of the jealousy so excited—under the impression produced on the Jews by the sight of the Gentiles in their fulness peopling the kingdom—all Israel shall be saved” (Denney). By all Israel being saved, Paul means the individual salvation of each member of the nation Israel living at the time of the second Advent. Zechariah (13:1) predicts this cleansing of Israel from its sins in the words, “In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleanness.” This individual cleansing from sin will be followed by a national restoration to the Messianic kingdom with Messiah reigning on the throne of David in Jerusalem as King of kings and Lord of lords for one thousand years." [Wuest, K. S. (1997). Wuest's word studies from the Greek New Testament] The verses in Matthew and Luke are speaking about the future millenial kingdon, but presume an already regenerate (hence saved) individual. I hope this helps, BradK |

113 | Will ALL of Israel be saved? | Revelation | BradK | 231334 | ||
Hi HOTH, We know that scripture doesn't teach Universalism and we also should know there's not Two salvations; One for Israel and One for the Gentiles. So, I think we need to understand this text within the analogy of scripture. It must be consistent with the rest of God's Word (John 3:16, etc). I would see Paul's reference to those of "believing Israel". It would seem Paul does not want the Gentiles to have a haughty or superior attitude toward faithless Jews. Despite what John Hagee has promoted, Israel doesn't "get a Pass" because they are Jewish. They too must 'believe on Him whom He has sent' (John 6:29) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Bill, What does this have to do with you being here on the SBF under false pretenses? You are in open disragard of the Terms of Use! You are not being forthright with others here on this Forum.

Hi Bill, I strain to continue any further dialog with you until you are forthcoming about your connection to Inquisitor. Remember him? I know you do. You are not being honest about your identity or if you've ever had a previous account revoked by Lockman. What does the Terms of Use say? MEMBER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD AND SECURITY You agree that The Lockman Foundation without notice, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, account (or any part thereof) or any use of The Restricted Area, and/or bar any further access to such files or the Forum, and/or remove and/or discard any Postings within The Restricted Area, for any reason. If your account is terminated you may not re-register under a different user screen name. Further, you agree that The Lockman Foundation shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to any part of The Restricted Area." How can you so blatantly ignore this? Bill, part of our conduct as Christians has to do with our relationship to others. Some of it has to do with following the rules as set forth by various organizations, like Lockman. Are you going to tell me that lying is OK with you? Are you going to tell me that re-registering as Bill Richardson when you've posted and been revoked as Inquisitor is acceptable conduct? How so? Bill, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I implore you to be open and honest about all these things. Stop the lying, deceptive re-registration and ignoring multiple requests from your Forum poeers to come clean. This is what I think you should be dialoging about my friend, AND NOTHING LESS. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Doc, I think Inquisitor was too. He complained about using the term Campbellite, "That's the second time I've noticed someone referring to a group (Campbellites) in a derogatory fashion. Does the Forum actually condone this behavior? What did these peopole do to incur such bitter hatred? Are they just christians on the conservative or possibly the liberal side of the spectrum? Someone, please explain this to me. I'll be so appreciative." BradK |

118 | When is forgiveness not necessary? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 231185 | ||
Hi Bill, A couple things in your post bother me as they are not consistent with scripture. 1. You said "IF we hope to get forgiveness for our sins, we MUST be just as willing to forgive others." I can only assume you meant this in it's absolute sense pertaining to salvation. We don't get forgiveness (of our sins) because we forgive others. it's not something we merit based on what WE do. Eph. 1:7 clearly states, "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace". Our forgiveness is conditioned by being "in Him" through faith, and it is "according to the riches of His grace", not by what we do or don't do! You are not considering the analogy of faith in presenting your statement. Have you read and studied the book of Romans? 2. I take issue with your implication when you concluded with, "I'm afraid if you truly want to go to Heaven, it's very clear as to what we all must do." What is it we all must do to go to Heaven? Is it to order our behavior and perform some specific work? Or, is as scripture teaches, "that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life" [John 3:15]; or "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." [John 6:29] Rom. 10:9 unequivocably states, "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;" (NASB) I hope this is what you meant to say.

119 | Balance: Faith and Works | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 231164 | ||
Hi Bill, Could you clarify a statement you made? You said, "We should look at our relationship with our Lord and Saviour as our working off a debt as He paid for our sins for our very souls. I think this is made so clear in the Lord's Parable of the debtor in prison, Matt 18. That's why I think it's important for us as christians to adopt a ministry of some kind if it's nothing more than cleaning the building on a regular basis." Are you suggesting salvation entails us workig to repay this debt to our Lord? Are you suggesting we to do this in order to maintain salvation? Or, are you suggesting we do this in order to show we are saved (cf Eph. 2:10)? I hope you're not implying that we do this to merit (earn) any justification before God? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello atterbury, I appreciate your repy. As a long-time user of the Forum, there was no put down intended to Bill, but rather a calling for an account of what he posted. I always address the poster by their screen name- which is a standard form of acknowledgment and greeting. Furthermore, I sign off quoting Eph. 4:15 as that is my hearts' intent:-) His answer had no scriptural basis and was just... a guess. As this is a public forum ALL of our posts are subject to scrutiny by others- myself included. When we register to and post on this Forum, there's an implied consent to it's Terms of Use (TOU). Specifically: To adhere to StudyBibleForum's intended purpose, please read the following before submitting a post: 1. This post is biblically based and whenever possible, I have included Bible references to support it. 2. This post is not intended as a personal attack on the authority of the Bible or on other users of this forum. 3. This post is not submitted as an effort to foster divisiveness, ill-will, dissension or other disruptions to this forum. 4. I have carefully proofread my post and believe it represents my best efforts. That being said- and I say this under due consideration- I'd rather have a "new Christian" discouraged than lead into error by a misunderstanding of a major doctrine such as Soteriology. I hope that better clarifies where I'm coming from and why I responded as I did. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
