121 | Christians Proselytizing in Prisons? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 231138 | ||
Hi Bill, The post you're responding to is over 3 and-a-half years old, and it's author no longer around. So, it's highly unlikely you'll get a reply. May I ask what leads you to search for and answer such old posts? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

122 | do you need to fasten | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 231135 | ||
Hi Bill, So you "don't think it's required to fast to make it to Heaven but it probably would be a good idea"?? What does that mean? Are you honestly implying it would probably be a good idea to fast- just to make sure you get into heaven? That would be a "works-based" salvation and not by grace through faith! Is this what you truly believe? Sounds like major guess work? It is either required or it isn't! Your lack of understanding in regards to Soteriology is quite evident. Might I strongly suggest that if you don't see any scriptures requiring this practice, it probably isn't! But either be diligent to study and know for certain before you offer half-cocked advice/answers. If you don't know, please don't guess. Guess work in regards to the doctrine of salvation (Soteriology) provides no real answer or assurance for anyone. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Bill: Your standard, evasive non- answer serves no purpose. I don't buy your game- whatever it may be- and I' m not fooled by you. Would it not be Christ- like to be forthcoming? Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |

125 | Prophecies in Isaiah | OT general | BradK | 231051 | ||
Bill: That sounds like a "warm fuzzy". Apparently you don' t like to answer simple questions with direct responses? Why do you duck and hide my friend? It would sound to me like you' re hiding something? Since we're on the topic, what does "go with God in all things" mean to you? Does it imply telling the truth in all things? Does it imply telling the truth in regards to whether you' ve had a previous account revoked by Lockman? Does it imply being candid with regards to whether you are or have posted previously as Inquisitor? Go with God in all things my friend but let's please be open and honest with your forum peers.

Hi Bill, I' m not sure I'm catching the point of y our post? As far as "we're responsible for our own behavior" I'm OK with that as long as we' re clear that it is God alone Who justifies. Speaking theTruth in Love, BradK |

127 | is jesus god? | Col 1:18 | BradK | 231022 | ||
Hello Sheila, I'm not sure what you mean by saying, "IF God the Father has been in all of us since the beginning..?" To me this hints of Pantheism? God has not been "in us since the beginning", but is eternal, having always existed in the unity of His nature. "In the beginning God..." (Gen. 1:1) God is one as Deut. 6:4 tells us, "The LORD is our God, the LORD is one", yet Triune in his nature. There are three persons in scripture all called God; God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit, yet only one God. The Orthodox definition would be: One God who eternally exists in three different persons- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit- all of whom are fully God,all of whom are equal. Because of God's Triune nature, this is why Christ could exclaim in John 14:9, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?" He (Jesus) truly is Emmanuel (God with us), the God/man. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Bill, Neither Beja nor myself has said anything about your posts being repulsive! You're saying that. There is no hidden message. You are inferring that! Neither is anyone trying to punish you without a proper hearing or trial! These are your words alone! Now to the question at hand. Both of us have asked you directly whether you've formerly posted as "Inquisitor". You either are and have or haven't and you're not. This is not a question designed to stump you. There should be no exasperation about not knowing how to respond. The question requires a simple, direct Yes or No reply! If you are, then yes. If not, just answer no and we can move on and not waste any further time on this matter. So, you asked, Please, please, PLEASE advise. I am now doing just that. What do you say? BradK |

Hello Bill, Have you formerly posted to this forum under a different user name (author)? Are you formerly "Inquisitor" who was a previous poster here on the SBF? Any relation to him actually or relationally? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello Bill, Would you possibly clarify a few things you've said in this response? You said, "...our Lord knows our problem and has issued the prescription for all mankind" Could you define and clarify what our problem is and what the issued prescription is? You further state, "It's up to us to accept His Wisdom and follow His Commands to rid our souls of the dark blight of sin" So, are you saying it's ultimately up to us to deal with (our) sin? Was the Atonement not sufficient? What about Christ's finished work on the cross (John 19:30) How do you reconcile this with 2 Cor. 5:21, " He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (NASB) Lastly, you state "IF we don't follow His Commands, then we only have ourselves to blame on Judgment Day." I would interpret this as your saying that salvation too, is ultimately up to us? Am I understanding you correctly on these points? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

133 | Saved by Grace or Acts? | Lev 6:2 | BradK | 230800 | ||
Hello Bill, Thanks for your response. Basically, my challenge with the statement from World Unification is that, at it's core, it's not Christian! As has been said, it may be something, but it's not Christian! The other "religions" serve another God, not the triune God of the Bible, who manifested Himself to us through the Lord Jesus Christ, who was the "lamb of God". The Lord Jesus Christ Who died for your and my sins that we could be reconciled to God through (by) His work on the cross.(2 Cor. 5:18) That's the God I believe in and serve. So, the statement itself has a tinge of truth to, but the world religions do not agree with any basic sentiment regarding repentance or salvation. Their wording may sound similar, but really is just an attempt by man to earn his merit with God. Since none of us posses any righteousness in and of ourselves, this is an impossibility (Rom. 3:23). Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Pluralism is clearly denied by scripture. No on comes to the father except through Him (John 14:6)Hence, they ALL propose a works-based salvation which denies salvation by grace through faith (Eph. 2:8-9). Only Christianity has a Saviour who died and rose again from the grave- the Lord Jesus Christ- validating that he is in fact, God-incarnate. Repentance doesn't save us, only faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross can do that. I would not have confused repentance as it's described in the Bible with what the Unification church may believe as they're diametrically opposed to each other. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Bill, I'm a little puzzled by your quotation of the post of "World Scripture" regarding repentance and the related link? It seems unquestionably from the Unification church? The entire post (not cited) includes many non-Christian quotes and clearly appears to embrace a broad ecumenical theology? I'm curious what lead you to cite this? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi Melissa, Per Lockman, "Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing the Bible's sole authority (sola Scriptura), Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. Whenever possible, postings should include supporting Bible references." I realize you're new to this Forum, but there are some guidelines to be observed.

136 | was garden of eden in heaven | Genesis | BradK | 230675 | ||
Hello Melissa, We know that, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Gen. 1:1 NASB I know of no such verse saying "these are the generations of heavens and earth"? May I ask your reference? I certainly find no support to indicate that the garden of eden is in heaven! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

137 | Divine Authority | John | BradK | 230384 | ||
Hello inspirational..., There are numerous passages within scripture that proclaim Divine authority. Here are a several of them: The opening verse in Genesis 1 certainly proclaims God's (divine) authority "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." 1 Chr 29:11 "Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O LORD, and You exalt Yourself as head over all." Is 44:6 "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last, And there is no God besides Me. Is 44:7 'Who is like Me? Let him proclaim and declare it; Yes, let him recount it to Me in order, From the time that I established the ancient nation. And let them declare to them the things that are coming And the events that are going to take place." 1 Tim 1:17 "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen." (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

138 | Was Cain the son of satan? | Gen 4:1 | BradK | 230325 | ||
Hello naphal, It would seem you are offering speculations in contradiction to scripture itself! As brother John noted, Genesis 4:1 clearly tells us, "Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD." (NASB) Are you saying that this does not tells us who Cain's father is? My question to you: Who are the "Some suspect satan"? What does scripture say? I realize you're new to this Forum, so you might benefit by familiarizing yourself with the Terms of Use, About Forum and it's protocol:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

139 | What does Jesus looks like? | Is 53:2 | BradK | 230308 | ||
Hello naphal, I hate to disappoint you, but just because you said why doesn't establish it as anything close to being fact! My point is this: Upon what evidence do you base your opinion? What "earliest pictures of Jesus to the middle ages" do you refer? Where is your evidence? There are no likenesses or pictures of Jesus! None. Furthermore, I'm unaware of any existing images, etc of Him dating from the First-century. I don't know to what "weve always known" you're referring to. What is it we've always known? I'm not familiar with this theory- if it can even be called that! Please provide this Forum with some shred of Biblical/Archeological support or leave the speculation! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

140 | What does Jesus looks like? | Is 53:2 | BradK | 230300 | ||
Hello naphal, On what do you base the statement, "Those pictures of Jesus are most likely the closest to what he actually looked like."? It may possibly be a likeness of Him, but that's it! Anything else is pure speculation! BradK |
