121 | Did Moses or Noah go to Hell? | OT general | BradK | 232435 | ||
Hi lana, Actually, you've confused me even more. I'm not clear about the point you're trying to make! Can you be more specific as to which "translations" you're referencing? The original question had to do with whether Noah or Moses went to hell. If we're referring to the place of eternal punishment (as described in Matt. 10:28, Mark 9:45, 2 Peter 2:4, and Rev 20, etc.), then absolutley not! There's nothing from scripture with which to support this contention! On the other hand if you're referring to sheol- the place or abode of the dead, then OK. I think you're choosing a poor translation of the word. However, we need to be clear that the intent of passages such as Job 14:13 is to show a hiding place as being the ground. Not literal hell the place of everlasting punishment! "Oh that You would hide me in Sheol, That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You, That You would set a limit for me and remember me!" (NASB) "Hell" would not be the best translation of these occurences IMO. 'Sheol' is the more apt term- which is most likely why the majority of translations opt for this! Not sure your point with Gen 3:19? When we die, we do all return to the ground, i.e. 'sheol', not hell! I would strenuously reject any notion that Jesus ever went to hell. Why on earth would Jesus be inhell? Where do we find this even remotely implied in scripture? There's simply no such support for this distorted doctrine! Jesus did not (nor did He need to) atone for our sins in hell. The penalty for sin was paid on the cross! Period! Col 2:13-14, "When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

122 | Did Moses or Noah go to Hell? | OT general | BradK | 232430 | ||
Hi lana, I'm not sure what your reply has to do with the original question? I also question your statement that, "So the Bible does say that even upright people go to hell also"? Do you have any scriptural basis for this? The meaning of a word means is generally determined by it's use in context! Are you saying Job literally went to hell? I certainly don't think so. Your premise is going to be driven by what word for "hell" is being used (OT or NT) and how it's being used. Would you clarify what you mean? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

123 | Did Moses or Noah go to Hell? | OT general | BradK | 232420 | ||
Hello Storeman, What leads you ask this question? There is absolutely nothing in scripture that would indicate they went to hell! In fact, Hebrews 11 supports the opposite- they were both commended for their faith! Heb 11:7, "By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith." Heb 11:24-26, "By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

124 | Baptized | Matthew | BradK | 232337 | ||
Hello Preston, Here's what you said, "I don't believe you have accepted Christ, if you have not been baptised. The two go together, I submit. So why would anyone want to take the chance with their eternal salvation?,..." How else are we to understand this statement? Did you not mean what you said? Maybe you're want to mince words, so, no you technically didin't say that "baptism saves us". However, to say that someone has not accepted Christ if they have not been baptised begs the question! What do you mean by this? Possibly you can explain it with more clarity so as to be constructive? I suggest when you post, you say what you mean. Please own what you said and take responsibility for it my man! IMO, you are coming across with seeming incredulity and side-stepping questions created by your own posts. This does nothing toward being constructive in the least. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

125 | Baptized | Matthew | BradK | 232327 | ||
Hello Preston, What I'm "challenging" is your conclusion regarding baptism as being essential to salvation! You come across as if there's nothing to discuss. I'm not clear on why you're surprised I need references? Our gracious hosts, The Lockman Foundation have set forth terms of Use and About Postings. One of the specific rerquirements if you will is that our posts be biblically based and that we support them from scripture! It's not a foregone conclusion. You don't understand why there are different conclusions on baptism? Perhaps because it's not as cut-and-dry as you believe? The Church has historically taken the position that salvation is by grace through faith- and that baptism is not a requirement. (Sola gracia, sole fidei). Inviting consideration is one thing but studying and exegeting passages is another. One must consider the context and the usage of a word in a passage before arriving at it's meaning. Are you certain of the meaning of baptism in Galatians 3:27 and Romans 6:3-4? If so, on what basis? If you view this as being so basic that you won't address it further, that's fine. However, I cannot and will not believe what you say, simply because you say it! That is where I challenge you, not God's Word! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

126 | How Murders get into Heaven | Eph 2:8 | BradK | 232323 | ||
Hi Lisaharl, Remember, what scripture tells us about our "good works", righteousness and nature: Is 64:6 "For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away." (NASB) Rom 3:10, "as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; Rom 3:11, "THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; Rom 3:12, "ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE." "We too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest." (Eph. 2:3) Salvation is not based upon what we do (or don't do), but rests upon the completed work of Christ. We are then saved on the basis of God's grace throught faith (sola fidei) Eph. 2:8-9, "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Titus 3:5 really brings the point home: "He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit," I hope this helps to answer your question.

132 | Free Masonry | Eph 4:14 | BradK | 232155 | ||
Free Masonry: One of the major issues with Free Masonry is Theologically, the denial of Christian truth and blaspheming God! In our theological analysis and elsewhere (Secret Teachings, chapters 5-16) we have seen that Masonry: (1) denies the deity of Christ, (2) rejects the nature of God, (3) denies salvation by grace and teaches salvation by works, (4) distorts the Scriptures;34 (reinterprets the Bible to teach the "truths" of Masonry), (5) replaces allegiance to God with allegiance to Masonry, (6) contains contradictory theology, and 7) blasphemes God. All these are characteristic of allegedly "biblical" cults. What these characteristics represent are (1) a rejection of God’s interests and (2) a corruption of the Church. The late Dr. Walter Martin, an acknowledged authority on comparative religion and cultism, observed: "I think there is a motivation in Masonry as there is in the entire cultic structure that we study in The Kingdom of the Cults. "Human nature is perfectible by an intensive process of purification and initiation." That is the Masonic initiation. Good works is the pathway to salvation in all pagan religions and the pathway to justification…. What we are dealing with in Masonry is a non-Christian cult with a lot of very nice people in it who are very sincere and very dedicated but very mistaken. In the words of Scripture, "There is a way that seems right unto a man but the end thereof are the ways of death." |

Hello G. Preston, I'm not quite following you:-) My last thought...? We are forgiven according to Eph. 1:7, "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace". This is accessed by faith. Your emphasis appears to be upon our performance... what WE do not, what He has already accomplished for us! Our only righteousness comes from being, "in Him" (1 Cor. 1:30) we have no righteousness apart from Christ! Can you summarize your thoughts by or from scripture, so I can better follow? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hello G. Preston, As far as your "three things we need to know from the Bible to receive eternal salvation", I'd respectfully disagree. I think we have a very different perspective on what constitutes salvation to begin with:-) Here's why: 1. Repentance. This is certainly part of salvation, but not THE entirety of it. I think you've confused the order (ordo salutis)of salvation. Is not the major aspect of salvation predicated upon faith in the completed work of Christ? (Rom. 4:3, Eph. 2:8-9). Scripture definitely supports this. Note, it is "Faith's Hall of fame" in Hebrews 11, not repentance! There is a difference; 2. Baptism. Does the Bible teach that we must be water baptized to be saved? Church History and a clear majority of those within Orthodoxy would proclaim- as I- that, no it does not! Though this is is continually debated, If it is a requirement for my and your salvation, then we are saved by works! Period! This negates the sufficiency of Christ's atoning sacrifice. We also have something about which to boast (1 Cor. 1:31) What then of Rom. 11:6?; 3. Living righteously. This follows the process of sanctification, but does not nullify the grace of God. We don't live righteously to gain merit, favor or keep our salvation. We live 'the obedience of faith" because of what He did for us.(Eph. 1:3-14) We set ourselves apart because we are new creatures (2 Cor. 5:17). We walk by faith, not sight (2 Cor. 5:7) because we are in Him (En Christo). I believe that one of the single most important motivations to live godly is His grace and our understanding of it: Titus 2:11 "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, Titus 2:12 "instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age",(NASB) Keeping the law as a Christian would seem to be empirically an excercise in futility!If we must keep the Ten Commandments, then again Christ profits us nothing and He died in vain (Gal. 2:16, 21) No, "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes".(Rom. 10:4). "The law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we may be justified by faith. But after faith has come we are no longer under a tutor" (Gal. 3:24-25) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
