101 | What exactly must a person to be saved? | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 79570 | ||

102 | What exactly must a person to be saved? | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 79589 | ||
Never let anyone tell you that you are not saved unless and until you go before an altar and "profess [yourself] to Jesus Christ". Public confession is a false addition to faith in Jesus Christ, which is stated as the single condition for salvation in the NT (John 1:12; Acts 16:31). "Confession is a normal result of being saved, though it may also accompany the initial act of believing. Nowhere is public confession required. In this connection, prayer may be helpful in clinching a decision, but it is not in itself a requirement for salvation" (Ryrie Study Bible, Charles Caldwell Ryrie, Moody Press, 1976, 1978). Once again we are not saved by surrender, baptism, repentance, or public confession. Neither does our prayer save us. |

Apparently nothing that others say means anything to you. My humble opinion is that you are misunderstanding all that others have tried to explain to you. Maybe you could try harder to understand it. |

105 | Why is Joyce Meyer allowed to preach? | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 80059 | ||
Joyce Meyer teaches "the necessity of Jesus having to pay for our sins in hell, under the torment of Satan and his angels -- a teaching both unsubstantiated by and contrary to Scripture." "Why is Joyce Meyer allowed to preach?" This, in itself, is a good question. Why indeed is Joyce Meyer allowed to preach? [Note: numbers in parentheses are footnote references.] "Joyce Meyer shares the platform from time to time with Word of Faith teachers like, for example, Kenneth Copeland, Jesse Duplantis, Benny Hinn, and T.D. Jakes.(5) Chrisitan Research Institute (CRI) is critical of and concerned with some of her practices and teachings. "In her 1991 booklet, The Most Important Decision You Will Ever Make, she teaches a hallmark doctrine of Faith theology, namely, that Christ had to suffer in hell to atone for our sins and be born again: "During that time He entered hell, where you and I deserved to go (legally) because of our sin….He paid the price there.…no plan was too extreme…Jesus paid on the cross and in hell….God rose up from His throne and said to demon powers tormenting the sinless Son of God, “Let Him go.” Then the resurrection power of Almighty God went through hell and filled Jesus….He was resurrected from the dead -- the first born-again man.(6) "Her assertions are not unlike those of leading Word of Faith proponent Kenneth Copeland, who also believes Christ’s death on the cross was not sufficient to atone for our sins, and that His work of redemption was completed by suffering in hell and being born again. According to Copeland, "When Jesus cried, “It is finished!” He was not speaking of the plan of redemption. There were still three days and nights to go through before He went to the throne….Jesus’ death on the cross was only the beginning of the complete work of redemption.(7) "[The] word of the living God went down into the pit of destruction and charged the spirit of Jesus with resurrection power! Suddenly His twisted, death-wracked spirit began to fill out and come back to life. He began to look like something the devil had never seen before. He was literally being reborn before the devil’s very eyes. He began to flex His spiritual muscles….Jesus was born again -- the first-born from the dead.(8) "According to a recently published interview with free-lance writer Ken Walker, however, Meyer contradictorily denies ever believing or teaching that Christ was born again in hell.(9) "Moreover, in her 1991 booklet, Meyer asserts that salvation is impossible without believing Jesus suffered in hell as the believer’s substitute. Meyer writes, “There is no hope of anyone going to heaven unless they believe this truth I am presenting. You cannot go to heaven unless you believe with all your heart that Jesus took your place in hell.”(10) "While historic Christianity has debated the issue of whether or not Jesus actually descended into hell (e.g., to proclaim the gospel, declare victory, etc. [1 Peter 3:18-19), no orthodox believer ever held to the belief that Christ suffered and atoned for our sins in hell, rather than on the cross. Yet, Word of "Faith teachers, including Joyce Meyer, teach the necessity of Jesus having to pay for our sins in hell, under the torment of Satan and his angels -- a teaching both unsubstantiated by and contrary to Scripture. The entirety of Christ’s atoning work (i.e., His suffering and death in our place) occurred on the cross (e.g., 1 Peter 2:24), ending with His proclamation, “It is finished” (John 19:30). The Christ of Faith theology literally had to become sin, taking on the nature of Satan while in hell, thereby needing to be born again in hell before His resurrection could occur."

106 | When did God change "mode" of baptism? | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 80130 | ||
Romans 6:4 'Whether the mode of baptism by immersion be alluded to in this verse, as a kind of symbolical burial and resurrection, does not seem to us of much consequence. Many interpreters think it is, and it may be so. But as it is not clear that baptism in apostolic times was exclusively by immersion so sprinkling and washing are indifferently used in the New Testament to express the cleansing efficacy of the blood of Jesus. And just as the woman with the issue of blood got virtue out of Christ by simply touching Him, so the essence of baptism seems to lie in the simple contact of the element (water) with the body, symbolizing living contact with Christ crucified; the mode and extent of suffusion being indifferent and variable with climate and circumstances.' Brown, David, D.D. "Commentary on Romans 6". "Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible". (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/JamiesonFaussetBrown) |

Does the bible speak of any other type of fast other than food? Fasting is defined as "abstinence from food and/or drink as an element of private or public religious devotion. "Abstinence from food and/or drink." This is the only type of fast the Bible speaks of. |

111 | Is your modern translation corrupt? | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 80751 | ||
IS YOUR MODERN TRANSLATION CORRUPT? Answering the Allegations of KJV Only Advocates by James R. White 'Summary 'King James Version Only advocates argue that all modern translations of the New Testament are based on Greek manuscripts that contain intentional doctrinal corruptions. However, an examination of the most important manuscripts underlying these translations demonstrates that such charges are based more upon prejudice than fact. The papyri finds of the last century, together with the great uncial texts from the fourth and fifth centuries A.D., do not deprecate the deity of Christ, the Trinity, or salvation by grace through faith. Modern translations, such as the NIV and NASB, are not "corrupt" but instead trustworthy and useful translations of the Word of God. (...) 'The importance of the topic should not be underestimated. While the vast majority of conservative Christian scholars completely reject the KJV Only position, the emotionally charged rhetoric of KJV Only advocates causes unnecessary concerns among many believers. It is a sad truth that most Christians have only a vague knowledge of the history of the Bible and almost no knowledge of the mechanisms by which the Bible has come to us today. Issues regarding the transmission of the text over time (the process of copying), the comparison of one written text to another (textual criticism), and translation are not popular topics of discussion or study in the church today. Therefore, the claims of KJV Only advocates are liable to deeply trouble many Christians, even to the point of causing them to question the reliability and usefulness of their NIV or NASB Bibles. When believers are wrongly led to doubt the integrity of the translation they have used for years, Christian scholars have a responsibility to set the record straight. 'Moreover, there is a real desire on the part of many to hold to the "old ways" — the "traditions" of the "good ol’ days" when things were so much better than they are today. Since many believers distrust anything connected with the term "modern," for them the KJV becomes an icon of what was "good" about the past, and modern translations end up representing everything that is wrong with today’s church. 'Is there any weight to the charges being made against the manuscripts used by modern translations? Should one distrust modern translations? Those are the questions we must answer.' ------------- To read this entire article, go to (www.equip.org/free/DK115.htm) IS YOUR MODERN TRANSLATION CORRUPT?

You write: "I think all translations lead us wrongly." How helpful your statement is! How edifying and uplifting. Consider the following: "...the claims of KJV Only advocates are liable to deeply trouble many Christians, even to the point of causing them to question the reliability and usefulness of their NIV or NASB Bibles. When believers are wrongly led to doubt the integrity of the translation they have used for years, Christian scholars have a responsibility to set the record straight."

114 | why do we sin when sin has no mastery? | Bible general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 80780 | ||
You write: "We must choose to crucify the flesh daily." Yet Paul writes in (NASB) Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." "I HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED" -- not "I crucify the flesh DAILY." "I HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED" (past tense). Again, writing in (NASB) Colossians 3:3 Paul says: "For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God." "You have died" -- not "you ought to die." "HAVE DIED" (past tense). NASB Romans 6:11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. AMPLIFIED Romans 6:11 Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus. |

No major revisions of KJV Tom: You write: 'Most of those who stand by KJV, rather than “modern revisions” don’t realize that 1611’s underwent major revisions in 1629 and in 1638. In 1762, Thomas Paris corrected many errors, and in 1769, Benjamin Blayney revised it again." Tom, I appreciate your participation in the forum. I have nothing against you. Please know that this post is not meant in any way to criticize you personally. Nor is it an attack upon you or what you posted. However, it is not true that the King James version underwent four (or any) major revisions. My intent here is merely to set the record straight. I want all to know that I am definitely not a KJV-Only advocate. No way. Grace and peace, Radioman2 - - - - - - - - - - "The King James Bible of 1611 has not undergone four (or any) major revisions. "Just as the first two so-called revisions were actually two stages of one process--the purification of early printing errors--so the last two [1762 and 1769] so-called revisions were two stages in another process--the standardization of the spelling. . .The thousands of alleged changes are spelling changes made to match the established correct forms. ... Suffice it to say at this time that the tale of four major revisions is truly a fraud and a myth." (From The King James Bible Page). Read the entire article at (http://staggs.pair.com/kjbp/) |
