1121 | How can we avoid deception? | 2 Thess 2:11 | srbaegon | 122814 | ||
Hello Aixen7z4, "The question was not whether a believer can lose his salvation." My comment was that a believer was secure in Christ meaning that he does not have to worry about God sending a deceiving spirit upon him. "Rather it was whether a believer can be deceived, or deluded, or put to the test, or in some other way negatively influenced by a spirit other than the Holy Spirit sent to him by God." To this I answer it is possible for a believer to be negatively influenced by another person and not a spirit as in Ahab and Saul. "First: Can it be that a believer will not endure sound doctrine? What happens to him then? (See 2 Timothy 4:3,4). Can this situation be connected to the shipwreck mentioned in 1Timothy 1:19?" Yes. I think you have it. "Second: What happens when a person refuses to accept the Gospel? Can it be that he is then allowed to think that something else is the gospel? (See 2 Thessalonians 2:10,11). If they believe a false gospel, won’t they be believing they are saved when they are not?" Yes, again. Steve |

1122 | do u tithe on unemployment checks | 1 Tim 1:8 | srbaegon | 226620 | ||
Hello SOS, Two things here: 1) This is a Study Bible Forum, so answers are to be biblically-based. While your response is reasonable in that regard, you should back it up with the scriptural basis. 2) I listened to the podcast. While your intent to teach that we should give from how God has blessed is correct, but I must disagree with you teaching the Law to those who should be living under grace. The tithe was an income tax for Israel to maintain the tabernacle/temple and Levitical priesthood. Paul's teaching to set aside what you are able is quite clear. Steve |

1123 | Predestination question? | 1 Tim 2:4 | srbaegon | 85109 | ||
Hello Joe! Congratulations on the twins. This is a tricky passage. Verse 18 in the GNT has no verbs, which doesn't help. That being the case, the verb has to be inserted based on the context. So, is it "resulted...results" as NASB or "led...leads" as ESV or "came...comes" as NET or ...? My point: I'm wondering if the real comparison is that one person brought death and one person brought life. That's all. What do you think? And I hope Tim is reading and responds. Steve |

1124 | Why should we pray to Mary? | 1 Tim 2:5 | srbaegon | 26705 | ||
Mother of God.......................... Hi Joe, Just a note here. Be careful about how far you go with disliking "Mother of God". The Chalcedonian Creed states that Christ was "in these latter days, for us and for our salvation, born of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, according to the Manhood." So we should say Mary was the mother of the God-man or God in human form or God incarnate, however you wish to state it. Steve |

1125 | 1 Timothy 2:8-11 for disruptors? | 1 Tim 2:8 | srbaegon | 232305 | ||
Hi, I can agree with you that order is the order of the day. (OK, maybe my humor is weak.) Paul probably used a synagogal pattern to establish churches, but I am reticent to say he brought in traditional Jewish practices as well, only because of his warning against relying on form and works rather than the function. I could be overly cautious here. I think more that Paul was aiming to see creation order properly implemented in the framework of the family and church. Steve |

1128 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | srbaegon | 208234 | ||
Hello Immanuelsown, You asked if the knowledge of good and evil was the same as sinning. Of course, the answer is no. Implicit in the concept of wisdom is the ability to know right from wrong/good from evil. For wisdom to be attained, there must be the ability to differentiate between them. God never forbade Adam and Eve the ability to know good and evil. He forbade them to do it on their own terms--by eating the fruit. As for your statement: "The knowledge of Good, and Evil, opens up to mankind, all sorts of sins." That is not a necessary consequent. You assume it was always true because men are now sinners.

1129 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | srbaegon | 208246 | ||
Hello Immanuelsown, As Hank said, you are grasping at things of no consequence. Why bother? To answer your 5 questions though: 1. Nobody knows. 2. Because they were obedient. 3. Because Eve was tempted (Gen 3:1-7; 1 Tim 2:14). 4. Adam and Eve were innocent. We are not. 5. They were not created perfect. They were created sinless. You assume that there was lust in Adam and Eve before the fall. For that to be the case, God could not have called his creation very good upon its completion. Lust was generated by an outside source (the serpent) and not by any natural longing. Also, lust cannot be what brought sin into the world, because the commend was to not eat of the tree. Only the actual act, not the feelings or appetites, was forbidden. Steve |

1131 | I Tim 2:12 Paul's opinion or God's Word? | 1 Tim 2:12 | srbaegon | 123339 | ||
Hello Rowdy, The forum rules state: Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing to the authority of the Bible, Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. Your reply: "Paul is giving guidance that is only coming from him WITHOUT the Holy Spirit's sponsoring" is diametrically opposed to the authority of the Bible. If you continue, I'll be forced to report you for forum abuse. Steve |
||||||
1132 | I Tim 2:12 Paul's opinion or God's Word? | 1 Tim 2:12 | srbaegon | 123344 | ||
Hello Rowdy, I am not misrepresenting anything. You said that Paul gave guidance without the Holy Spirit's sponsorship. I understood you clearly and knew what passage you had in mind when making the statement. It is blatantly false. Paul stipulated that all Scripture is God-breathed: 2 Tim. 3:16-17 (ESV) All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righ teousness, [17] that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. And Peter identifies Paul's writings as Scripture: 2 Peter 3:15-16 (ESV) And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, [16] as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. Ergo, based on solid logic, Paul's words are Scripture (i.e. Holy Spirit sponsored). Steve |

1133 | I Tim 2:12 Paul's opinion or God's Word? | 1 Tim 2:12 | srbaegon | 123349 | ||
Hello Rowdy, No, I'm not saying that we should avoid marriage. Paul is giving an opinion, yet even this opinion is itself scripture as I've already established. You cannot say that it was not sponsored by the Holy Spirit. To do so demeans God's word. The authority of scripture is not a tough subject. It only needs to be believed. Reply to PS: I did not misrepresent you. I responded only to your opening paragraph which called the authority of scripture into question. Steve |

1134 | Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? | 1 Tim 2:12 | srbaegon | 123387 | ||
Hello HISROSEBUD15, I have a multi-part response. Peter said: 2 Peter 1:19-21 (ESV) And we have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, [20] knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. [21] For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. So all Scripture is from God Himself. Paul said: 2 Tim. 3:16-17 (ESV) All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righ teousness, [17] that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. So all Scripture is authoritative. Then Peter said: 2 Peter 3:15-16 (ESV) And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, [16] as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. Where Peter calls Paul's writing Scripture. Therefore, we must consider the verse(s) in question as God's revealed will. Steve |

1135 | Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? | 1 Tim 2:12 | srbaegon | 123685 | ||
Hello Zsuzsi, Though you rightly champion the proper use of context, you've done a good job of pulling verses out of context for your defense. Let's take a look. "There are several passages in the Bible which are, even though truly God's inspired Word (I agree- everything in the Bible is what He wants us to know), impossible to keep word-by-word today." You give Leviticus 15 as an example. Well, the Law has been put away. We are no longer under the old covenant. So it's impossible to keep because we are no longer to do so. 1 Tim 2 and 1 Cor 14 teach proper roles (as does 1 Cor 11). And the context Gal 3:28 is our position in Christ (i.e. sonship), not our roles within the church. "But obviously in our modern culture it is not disgraceful at all any more..." So? It's become acceptable to be a homosexual in modern culture. That doesn't make it correct. You mention several women that the Lord chose to be in his service. Being mentioned as following the Lord does not automatically make one a leader of the people although it does mean that the Lord values their service. "Looking at the biblical and social setting of 1Tim 2:4, I, genuinely and with the intention of changing my mind if it is proven that I am wrong, believe that Paul instructs women against two things in both 1Tim 2 and 1Cor 14:..." How did you come by your conclusions? While they are correct, you would not have stopped there unless you were trying to reconcile modern practice with first century practice. Better would be to accept Scripture as it is written. As a conclusion, to take your hermeneutic to its logical end, you would be forced to say that all of 1 Timothy is intended only for the 1st-century church and the culture. And lastly, you are underage for this forum. The Terms of Use state that you must be 18 years old to contribute. Those of us who have our e-mail addresses in our profiles (EdB, Hank, Morant61, kalos, myself to mention a few) would be more than happy to correspond privately. Steve |

Hello Brian Just a word of exhortation here. Feel free to contribute, but be advised that the topic of women as pastors, leaders, elders, teachers, etc. has literally hundreds of postings dedicated to it. Just do a Quick Search to find them. Steve |

1137 | The church as the pillar of Truth? | 1 Tim 3:15 | srbaegon | 136716 | ||
Hello Al, You said: "The church (not the Bible) is the Bulwark and the Pillar of Truth: 1Timothy 3:15" And yet, it's the Bible that states this. Logically, the Bible is the higher authority. The church upholds what the Bible teaches; it does not invent it. "The church (not the people) is the Bulwark and the Pillar of Truth: 1Timothy 3:15" The definition of a church is an assembly of people, therefore your statement makes no sense. Steve |
||||||
1138 | The church as the pillar of Truth? | 1 Tim 3:15 | srbaegon | 136783 | ||
Hello Al, I also disagree with Webster's definition of church. The family of God is united to its head, the Lord Jesus Christ (Eph 1:22-23) by the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12:12-13). Also, 1 Cor 14:33 says nothing of division, only disorder. There is a difference. Indeed, the truth of one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church needs to be taught. Steve |

1139 | The church as the pillar of Truth? | 1 Tim 3:15 | srbaegon | 136987 | ||
Hello Al, It's rather brash to say that one man chose the 27 books of the New Testament. Whoever stated that needs to go back and do some homework. Steve |
||||||
1140 | The church as the pillar of Truth? | 1 Tim 3:15 | srbaegon | 137022 | ||
Hello Al, The church did not choose God's word. God chose God's word. The church formally recognized it for what it was in an effort to quell heretics. We don't canonize anything because it's already done. Steve |
