Candy Lee: Baker's Dictionary is one of my favorite and most often used Bible reference books. I've been using it for 2 or 3 years now. Fortunately, the text of this book is available online at (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/). Here is the title, editor, and publisher: Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology. Edited by Walter A. Elwell, 1996 by Walter A. Elwell. Published by Baker Books. Look for this exact title. I can send you the ISBN number later, if you wish. The printed book might be available for purchase at (www.christianbook.com/) or (amazon.com). You are more than welcome.

GeneZ: You wrote: "All men at some point in their lives are given a chance(s) to know God." My question is: where in the Bible does it teach this? In no way am I disputing you when I ask this question. I really want to know where this is in the Bible. I have heard this idea all my life, but I wouldn't know where to find it in the Bible. If you could find it for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

Tim Moran writes: "Let this topic die! It goes nowhere. (...) "I read 'all', you see 'some'. I read 'everyone', you see 'the elect'. I read 'world', you see 'believers throughout the world'.' Musical commentary by Radioman 2 Let's Call the Whole Thing Off (to be sung to the Gershwin tune of the same title) You say predestined, I say whosoever. You say read Calvin, I say read the Bible.

"everyone" (Eng.) is "todo el mundo" (Spanish) is "all the world" (English) Try explaing to Spanish-speaking people that "all the world" does not mean "all the world." After you've done that, then explain it to us in English. --Radioman2 |

The law is not altogether invalid 'On the other hand, the law cannot be altogether invalid since the New Testament affirms its abiding applicability. "All Scripture is … useful" (2 Tim 3:16-17), including Old Testament laws. Jesus came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it (Matt 5:17-20). The law is the embodiment of truth that instructs (Rom 2:18-19). It is "holy" and "spiritual, " making sin known to us by defining it; therefore, Paul delights in it (Rom 7:7-14,22). The law is good if used properly (1 Tim 1:8), and is not opposed to the promises of God (Gal 3:21). Faith does not make the law void, but the Christian establishes the law (Rom 3:31), fulfilling its requirements by walking according to the Spirit (Rom 8:4) through love (Rom 13:10). When Paul states that women are to be in submission "as the Law says" (1 Cor 14:34) or quotes parts of the Decalogue (Rom 13:9), and when James quotes the law of love (2:8 from Lev 19:18) or condemns partiality, adultery, murder, and slander as contrary to the law (2:9, 11; 4:11), and when Peter quotes Leviticus, "Be holy, because I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16; from Lev 19:2), the implication is that the law, or at least part of it, remains authoritative. (...) 'The New Testament writers also apply the principles in the law. From Deuteronomy 25:4 ("Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out grain"), Paul derives a principle that workers ought to be rewarded for their labors and applies that principle in the case of Christian workers (1 Cor 9:9-14). In 1 Timothy 5:18, Paul again quotes Deuteronomy 25:4, this time in parallel with a saying of Jesus (Matt 10:10) as if both are equally authoritative. Likewise, the principle of establishing truth by two or three witnesses (Deut 19:15), originally limited to courts, is applied more broadly to a church conference (2 Cor 13:1). The principle that believers are not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers is derived from a law concerning the yoking animals (2 Cor 6:14; cf. Deut 22:10). 'In 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, 13, Paul affirms on the basis of Leviticus 18:29 that incest, a capital offense in the Old Testament, is immoral and deserves punishment. A person practicing incest in the church must be excommunicated to maintain the church's practical holiness. Paul maintains the law's moral principle, yet in view of the changed redemptive setting, makes no attempt to apply the law's original sanction.' ____________________ Bibliography. G.

The Law under the New Covenant [candy lee: I present the following for your consideration. I would appreciate any feedback you wish to give. If you disagree with any of the following, could you quote at least some of the part(s) you disagree with and comment on the Scripture references cited, telling us why you disagree. It is not my intention to challenge or debate you or put you on the defensive. I do respect your views and I just wondered what your reaction is to the following. --Radioman2] 'The Law under the New Covenant. 'The New Testament's statements about Old Testament law are difficult to harmonize. On the one hand, some New Testament statements indicate that under the new covenant the whole law is in some sense abrogated (Rom 6:14, "you are not under law" Rom 10:4, "Christ is the end of the law" ). 'Direct application of cultic laws is clearly excluded in the New Testament. Food laws, circumcision, sacrifices, temple, and priesthood have been superseded (Mark 7:19; 1 Cor 7:19; Heb 7:11-19, 28; 8:13; 10:1-9). Christ has abolished in his flesh the commandments and regulations that separated Jew from Gentile (Eph 2:15). 'Dispensationalism concludes from these statements that Christians are under no Mosaic laws, not even the Decalogue, but are instead under the law of Christ (Gal 6:2; 1 Cor 9:21).' [Note to clarify my position: I do not consider myself a Dispensationalist. --Radioman2] ____________________ From the article "The Law", Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology.

CDBJ: It's very good to hear from you. Thanks again for the information you posted two years ago. I have spent many profitable hours at the website you recommended, (www.solagroup.org). I'm still holding to the truth you have shown me re the sequence of events in Matthew 24 and Revelation. Regarding your post, as I suggested in my Note, ID# 96402, read the entire article at: (http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html). However, whether you read the article or not, I want you to know that I always welcome any and all questions from you. I will do my best to answer them. I am indebted to you for the information you provided re Matthew 24 and Revelation. Grace and peace to you, --Radioman2 |

129 | Where do you find individuals seeking | 1 Thess 5:21 | Radioman2 | 96412 | ||
Baptized, filled, or indwelt? Which one? [REPOST of ID# 91915 This is a repost! This is a repost! This is a repost!] You (GeorJoy) ask: "Can one have received the Holy (GHOST) and not know?" This is a good question, but before it can be answered we need to know: What do you mean when you say "RECEIVED the Holy Ghost (Spirit)"? By "received" do you mean "baptized by", "filled with", "indwelt by", all of the above, none of the above? Because the Bible itself makes a distinction between "baptized by the Holy Spirit" and "filled with the Holy Spirit", we too must make a distinction between the two terms. Baptized and filled do not both mean the same thing. Filled is not just another way of saying baptized. 1 Cor 12:13 NASB For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. Note that here the Bible says: "By one Spirit we were all baptized." Notice that this verse, in contrast with Acts 2:4, DOES use both Spirit and baptized in one sentence. This is how we were initially placed into the body of Christ. It ocurred to each of us ONCE -- when we received Christ as Savior and were born again. Also note that in Acts 2:4, the text there does NOT say: "And they were all baptized with the Holy Spirit." It uses the word "filled". "And they were all FILLED (emphasis mine) with the Holy Spirit." Filled, not baptized. Not according to the plain text of the Scripture. So, each individual believer is baptized by the Holy Spirit (placed into the body of Christ) ONCE, when he is born again and first becomes a Christian. However, the filling with the Spirit is a repeated reality in the life of the believer. I.e., there is ONE BAPTISM, BUT MANY FILLINGS. The fullness of the Spirit affects all areas of life, not just speaking boldly. Also note the Bible teaches that ALL believers are indwelt by the Holy Spirit (Rom 8:9). So again, before your question can be answered we need to know: What do you mean when you say "RECEIVED the Holy Ghost (Spirit)?" Grace to you, Radioman2 This is a repost! This is a repost! This is a repost! |

He who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life. Revelation 3:5 "It is unfortunate that this passage in Revelation has become a focal point of controversy. The result has been a fixation on what the verse does not say rather than what it does say. This verse was never intended as a warning. Within its context there is nothing negative or foreboding about these words. In fact, it makes a strong statement in favor of eternal security. It is a passage of encouragement and praise. "The comments are directed to a group of faithful believers from the church in Sardis. Unlike the majority of the folks in their congregation, this handful of members had remained unsoiled by the world around them. The verse in question contains Christ's commendation to this group for their consistent walk. "To assume from what is said here that God will possibly erase names from the book of life is to read into the text a concept clearly not present. At best, it is an argument from silence, for the verse simply reads, "And I will not erase his name from the book of life." If this statement raises doubts for some about eternal security, they would do well to search the Scriptures for an answer. But to base one's answer to this important question on this verse is to adopt a method of study with the potential of leading to all kinds of problematic conclusions." (...) "The good news is, God's pencil has no eraser. Before you breathed your first word, God knew how you would respond to His offer of grace. According to His foreknowledge, He wrote your name in the book of life. And there it shall remain forever. Jesus said it this way: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. John 10.27-28 "And as if that were not clear enough: "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. John 10.29 " (To read the entire article, which I suggest you do before you post questions, go to: http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html) --Radioman2 |

Read the Questionable Questions again. When you do, please read every word and every letter in every word. The following are the questions (in quotes) and my answers (not in quotes). "Who do we know the bible is realy God's?" - First, 'WHO do we know the bible is realy God's' doesn't make any sense. What would make more sense would be to begin the question with: HOW do we know...? Second, 'Who do we know the bible is really God's" WHAT? Ending this question with the word 'God's' makes it an incomplete question -- one that doesn't make any sense. "? ? ?" - These are question marks without words. They are punctuation without anything preceding them. Thus, this is not a question. If it were a question, what would be the answer? "Russellville?" - Russellville WHAT? What about Russellville? "Does God have free will?" - This is not a stupid question? If God does not have free will, then He is not sovereign. If He is not sovereign, then he is not God. Who ever heard of God not having free will? "Was Abraham a Muslim?" - "Muhammad (prophet) (570?-632), founder of Islam" Muhammad lived from approx. 570 AD to 632 AD, approximately 2,400 years after Abraham. Abraham lived from 2100 BC to 1880 BC. So how could Abraham be a Muslim when Islam wasn't even founded until more than 2,000 years after he lived? This is not rocket science. I know 9-year-olds who could figure this one out. "Why does everything happen in thirds?" - As it is worded, this question doesn't make any sense. If it said, "Why does everything happen in threes," it would make more sense. But it still would be a question that is not addressed in the Bible. Where does the Bible teach that EVERYTHING happens in threes? But the question doesn't even say "in threes", does it? "If 'computer' stands for 666 than isn't wrong for us to use the computer?" (Note: This question was posted using a PC -- Personal COMPUTER.) - This is a big "If." Who says 'computer' stands for 666? Where is that in the Bible? In Revelation there is no indication that 666 is a machine or anything else other than a living being. "In the bible, where are Japanese?" - Not every race and nation of people that inhabit the world is mentioned by name in the Bible. There is no mention of the word 'Japanese' in either Bible history or prophecy. "Blue marbles roll faster than red ones(?)" - No comment necessary. "Are death and Hades destroyed or are they tormented forever?" How do you torment death? How do you torment Hades? "What if?" - What if WHAT? This is an even bigger IF than the one in the question about 666 and the computer. This is another incomplete question. And even if it were completed, the answer would be pure speculation. We could ask 'What if this?' and 'What if that' from now until the end of the age. "Where does the Bible say that the earth revolves?" - If you had read this question in the context in which it was asked, you would know what's wrong with it. The Bible is not a science textbook. "How do you know the earth spins on its axis?" - If you had read this question in the context in which it was asked, you would know what's wrong with it. "Why do we grow old?" - Because we keep breathing? "The Bible says that what is put to death is dead both in heaven and earth,so how did Jesus raise himself from the dead?" - Nowhere does the Bible say 'what is put to death is dead both in heaven and earth'. To base a question on a false premise (that the Bible says this) is to ask a "Questionable Question." --Radioman2 |

Discernment Is Not Optional ___________________ "According to the New Testament, discernment is not optional for the believer-it is required." ____________________ [EdB: Excellent post! The MacArthur article you refer to is right on target. I post it here for those who have not read it. Grace to you, Radioman2] What is biblical discernment and why is it important? "In its simplest definition, discernment is nothing more than the ability to decide between truth and error, right and wrong. Discernment is the process of making careful distinctions in our thinking about truth. In other words, the ability to think with discernment is synonymous with an ability to think biblically. "First Thessalonians 5:21-22 teaches that it is the responsibility of every Christian to be discerning: "But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil." The apostle John issues a similar warning when he says, "Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1). According to the New Testament, discernment is not optional for the believer-it is required. "The key to living an uncompromising life lies in one's ability to exercise discernment in every area of his or her life. For example, failure to distinguish between truth and error leaves the Christian subject to all manner of false teaching. False teaching then leads to an unbiblical mindset, which results in unfruitful and disobedient living-a certain recipe for compromise. "Unfortunately, discernment is an area where most Christians stumble. They exhibit little ability to measure the things they are taught against the infallible standard of God's Word, and they unwittingly engage in all kinds of unbiblical decision-making and behavior. In short, they are not armed to take a decidedly biblical stand against the onslaught of unbiblical thinking and attitudes that face them throughout their day. "Discernment intersects the Christian life at every point. And God's Word provides us with the needed discernment about every issue of life. According to Peter, God "has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence" (2 Peter 1:3). You see, it is through the "true knowledge of Him," that we have been given everything we need to live a Christian life in this fallen world. And how else do we have true knowledge of God but through the pages of His Word, the Bible? In fact, Peter goes on to say that such knowledge comes through God's granting "to us His precious and magnificent promises" (2 Peter 1:4). "Discernment-the ability to think biblically about all areas of life-is indispensable to an uncompromising life. It is incumbent upon the Christian to seize upon the discernment that God has provided for in His precious truth! Without it, Christians are at risk of being "tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine" (Ephesians 4:14)." (http://www.gty.org/IssuesandAnswers/archive/discern.htm) |

140 | What in the world was Paul thinking?!? | 2 Tim 4:18 | Radioman2 | 96258 | ||
But he who endures to the end will be saved. Matthew 24:13 AMPLIFIED "The reference is not to the salvation of the soul of the believer who endures persecution, but to his deliverance by the Lord's return" (NSRB note at Matthew 24:13). In Matthew 24:4-31 the entire passage is Jesus' answer to the disciples' questions: "When shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?" (v.2). In subsequent verses Jesus is teaching about Daniel's seventieth week of years: the end time; the middle of Daniel's seventieth week: the abomination of desolation; the great tribulation (latter half of week); and the King's return to earth at the close of the tribulation. So in the context this interpretation of verse 13 is the more likely interpretation -- i.e., that the reference is to the believer's deliverance by the Lord's return. In addition, we are not saved by enduring to the end. We are saved by grace through faith because of what Christ did on the cross -- not by anything that we do. No one is saved by holding on or holding out. When we are saved, it is because God Himself holds onto us. --Radioman2 |
