121 | Am I ignorant | 1 Cor 12:1 | BMyers | 211147 | ||
Doc, You asked for me to list my reference materials. I read articles in the following dictionaries: Nelson New Illustrated Bible Dictionary Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary Bridgeway Bible Dictionary I looked up some terms in the Smith’s Dictionary and the Unger’s Bible Dictionary. I read about the verses we have been discussing in the following commentaries: Matthew Henry Commentary New International Bible Commentary MacArthur Bible Commentary Expositor’s Bible Commentary Believer’s Bible Commentary JFB Commentary I don’t have the links to all the different websites I went to for articles. I just typed in the topic and searched. I would say about 2/3s of the websites I went to on both sides of the discussions were not worth looking at. They made nothing but emotional arguments with very little actual content. When I first posted in this topic, I had no idea this was such a hot button item. Yet, I’m glad I did post. I feel when a topic challenges me to truly look at my beliefs and research, pray, and pray some more, this has to be a good thing. I’m not done researching, actually anxiously awaiting the arrival of my books to do some more reading. Just wanted to say thanks Doc and others, in my own strange way. Even though I still don’t agree with Doc, it is nice to have my views respectfully challenged. I may never agree with Doc on this topic, but you have driven me further into Word and educated me on topics as a Christian I should be aware. Your brother-in-Christ Brad Pro 27:17 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. |

Thanks for the reply. I haven't finished reading all the books that I had ordered, but so far, Dr. Oss and Dr. Deere both have made good arguments against the cessation of Spiritual Gifts and that they should still be alive and active in the believer today. I haven't had a chance to read Dr. Fee's books yet and have only partially finished Dr. Deere's book before my wife took it and has started reading it. I've been really thankful that this discussion has come up on the forum, because of it I have been challenged to dig deeper and study harder and I prayer that this has happened to others that have either posted or just read through the topic.

123 | Will we know each other in Heaven? | 1 Cor 15:52 | BMyers | 201707 | ||
Hi Doc, I'm trying to grasp your post, if I'm reading it correctly, you are saying we will not get new bodies? My limited understanding was that we would be raised (rapture) in our old (current) body and when the rapture occurs we would be trading off our old bodies (the perishable) for new bodies (imperishable). I don't know if that means I will get a whole new body or if God will just change this one I have. I know your current time is short so you may not have time to reply in depth that this topic could involve and if so that is find, I understand having your time taken by other responsibilities. Thanks Brad |

125 | Has The NASB changed since 1990? | 2 Cor 5:16 | BMyers | 202051 | ||
THe Hebrew-Greel Word Study Bible is based on the Original NASB. The verse quoted above is based on the 1995 NASB Updated. | ||||||
126 | Can a Christian go to Night Clubs | 2 Cor 6:14 | BMyers | 222699 | ||
Hi Ariel, can you give scripture for your statement? In the incidents that come to mind, eating with the religious outcast and when Jesus was perfumed, didn't involve the location, but the issue that was brought up was the people that Jesus was with. Although, maybe I'm not remembering a passage, hence the request for the scripture. Brad |

127 | what are the things above | Colossians | BMyers | 222792 | ||
Sorry, I hadn't replied sooner. Just got off vacation and been getting slammed at work. Anyway, 'things above' can be understood as heavenly things. SO that leads to the next question, what is heavenly things? The best answer I can think of is Philippians 4:8. Hope this helps. Brad |

128 | first indication of the holy spirit | 2 Tim 2:15 | BMyers | 227508 | ||
You know BradK, if those researching God's Word would just ACTS upon the assignment, most answers would only take one or TWO tries to research it and the answers would come RUSHING in like a mighty WIND filling them with knowledge. Yet, further research may even prove there is more to the answer than a riddle spoken in other TONGUES. The blessings students are missing by not doing their own research. Brad |

129 | God, brings wicked to destruction | 2 Tim 2:15 | BMyers | 233927 | ||
I'm glad I'm not the only one confused by this, I read it several times, but have I;m confused by what he is trying to state. It almost appears that Herman is trying to state God is evil because He will bring just judgement in the end that leads to destruction of the sinners, but I don't want put words into Mr. Herman's mouth.

130 | Elaborate on last days timeframe | Heb 1:2 | BMyers | 213335 | ||
Not everyone agrees on the issue for looking for guidance outside of scripture (Holy Spirit). When you use the term "we" I'm assuming that you are reffering to the mindset of Doc and yourself, which I believe is Cessationists, but not all Christians believe in this theology. I can say after reading books that Doc has recommended and others have recommended, that I'm not of that mindset and still feel that the Holy Spirit can and does prompt us and guide us, but never contradicts scripture (this could be a very long post, but at work right now).

Doc, still working (bummer to be at work on Saturday, but thankful for job), do you believe in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that they are still active today? My understanding from previous conversations, were no. The classification of this is cessationism, which there are various levels and as you have pointed out maybe it isn't various levels of cessationism, but of continuationism. Saying that a person is going outside of what the Bible teaches by believing in the gift of tongues or prophecy, I believe, this is where we disagree. Discussing the gifts of the Holy Spirit, I don't believe is violating the terms of use of the forum. Just because some don't believe they are still active, doesn't mean they are right, especially since the debate centers on the very scriptures themselves and how one understands 1 Corinthians 13:8 and "perfect". Unfortunately brief notes don’t always allow full explanations, purpose wasn’t to offend, but point out different view point that is scripturally based. Brad |

133 | What does "Edens Dawn Light Mean?" | Heb 2:9 | BMyers | 200922 | ||
The Salvation Pioneer God didn't put angels in charge of this business of salvation that we're dealing with here. It says in Scripture, What is man and woman that you bother with them; why take a second look their way? You made them not quite as high as angels, bright with Eden's dawn light; Then you put them in charge of your entire handcrafted world. When God put them in charge of everything, nothing was excluded. But we don't see it yet, don't see everything under human jurisdiction. What we do see is Jesus, made "not quite as high as angels," and then, through the experience of death, crowned so much higher than any angel, with a glory "bright with Eden's dawn light." In that death, by God's grace, he fully experienced death in every person's place. From the Message |

134 | Jesus descend into hell | 1 Peter | BMyers | 201565 | ||
I wish I could enlighten, but as I have stated more than once I'm no Bible scholar. I was hoping someone that is Catholic may have some insight into the Creed (or Lutheran, even church of England). The United Methodist changed the creed some and reads: "was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead;". If you do a search on the Catholic Encyclopedia online, it has an interesting article about the creed and the history behind it. I know very little about the Creed since I’ve attended an Assembly of God church my whole life and the Creed is not something we recite. I don’t know what the Chinese version of the Creed might be? Reading the online article and doing a little research apparently the Creed went through some changes at different Councils. As the debates were going on in the Councils, the Creed was adjusted to make sure it expressed the belief of the Council. At this point you have just about depleted my knowledge on the Creed. As far as the orginal question did Jesus go to hell/hades? AC 2:31 he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that HE WAS NEITHER ABANDONED TO HADES, NOR DID His flesh SUFFER DECAY. As you can tell by my typing, I'm not an English major either, so I read the above verse and can take it either way (He did (but hell couldn't hold Him)or He didn't go to hell (because hell didn't have power over Him)). Is there important Biblical issue I'm missing if Jesus did or did not go to hell? Thanks, Brad |

You didn't put me on the spot. I just like to help, but I know my knowledge is limited and I didn't have the knowledge to answer the question completely. My one and only language is English, but you can ask my school teachers, it was not my best subject. My friends make fun of me because I use a lot of 'Bradisms'. You would hope the Apostles Creed would be based on the Bible. Although the title "Apostles Creed" is somewhat misleading. It was not something created by the apostles, but more so by the church leaders that followed after the apostles. One has to be careful when getting into this subject because you can easily step on toes when dealing with church history. The Roman Catholic view on this matter is most likely different than that of a Protestant. In the end, what matters is this view Biblically sound. Right now, (which I haven't went to the link that was posted to read more on the topic) I'm undecided. I'm still trying to decide if it is truly an issue if Jesus went to hell or not? Either way Jesus defeated the grave and hell. I know that is the most important part of this discussion. Brad |

Interesting, I hadn't realized that there were so much debate over this topic. I will agree that the price was paid at the Cross. Hopefully all this discussion has helped the one who posted the original question, but if not it sure has educated me on the topic. Thanks everyone! Brad |

Maybe we should start a new topic, but I agree Hank. Many Christians (myself included) don't have the understanding of the Bible or their beliefs (which should be based on the Bible) to know when or if they are being led astray. As my daughter has grown, I realized that I need a better understanding of what I believed and why. If I couldn't explain it to my daughter, I had a real problem. I claimed my Christianity to be the most important thing in my life, but I couldn't explain some of the simplest concepts or field some of the 'beginner' questions. I was raised in church, so it never crossed my mind to 'dig' in and look at things; I just took them at face value. Don't get me wrong, there are many things in the Bible that are that simple and can be taken at face value. Yet as I read and studied more I realized how truly awesome God is! The more you understand about Biblical times and the message in the Bible, the more you can see the love that God has shown to us. I know our Pastor has challenged the congregation not to take him at his word, but research, read, and study to make sure what he is preaching from the pulpit lines up with the Word of God. I could go on, but like I said this could be a topic all its own. If we as Christians had the passion for Christ that he has for us, what a different world this would be. |

139 | Revelation 20:15 | Revelation | BMyers | 220457 | ||
First, the Lord is the only one who truly knows the condition of a person’s soul. What the Bible says on salvation: Romans 3:10, 23 10as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 10:13 13for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED." John 14:6 6Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 1:12 12But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, Revelation 3:20 20'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. Romans 10:9 9that 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) |

140 | Revelation 20:15 | Revelation | BMyers | 220486 | ||
Reading the passage and not just one verse reveals more about. Act 16:30 Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Act 16:31 And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." Act 16:32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. Act 16:33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family. (ESV) So you can see that the family was also involved, it wasn't just him alone. They preached to his whole family and they were baptized. Through his question of wanting to know how he could be saved, his whole family was saved. |
