121 | Am I Biblically free to marry? | Bible general | EdB | 243734 | ||
Hi Brr101373 My heart goes out to you. You have experienced the worst of the worst. Take time and recover. Before you even consider doing anything else find yourself a GOOD and Godly church pastored by a man CALLED of God not a hireling. He must be a man of good reputation, a man that possessed integrity, and a man that lives in Righteousness. Find a pastor that will sit down and discuss all that you have told us here and work with him to get all things in your life on track with God. Take time, let God work in you. In your heart and most of all in your spirit. You have seen the worst of marriage and before you consider marriage again let God work within you. My advice wait, don't think about marriage think about getting in right relationship with a Godly church, Godly pastor and most importantly with God. I will keep you in prayer! |

Is it possible you are looking for something that does not exist? Where did you see the statement? Who made it? Did you ask them to support the hypothesis they presented? Did someone on this forum make it? Personally I think the concept as you stated it is false and therefore is impossible to defend. I know of no one on this forum that would or could defend within the criteria you stated. |

Cole209 If you are looking for scripture support of the 3 days and 3 night as a explained by Jewish idiom I think you are probably searching for something that does not exist. However there are many other explanations of how that could occur and these have been discussed at length in the forum archives. |

Cole209 Perhaps I misunderstood I thought you were looking for possible solutions to 3 days and 3 night in the tomb. If you are Matt 13:40 is another scripture to search on in the forum database. Again there are many discussions on the subject in forum archives. It this isn't what you are after perhaps you need to explain exactly what you are looking for. Do some research on the what "The Sabbath" or the "The Great Sabbath" refers to in Jewish vennactular as opposed to the more common Sabbath day. |

127 | David's sons' priestly status | 2 Sam 8:18 | EdB | 243692 | ||
The Hebrew word Kohenim is talking of the function rather than title or authority and in this case it can mean priest, minister, advisor etc. See 1 Chronicles 18:17 (NASB) 17 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and the sons of David were chiefs at the king's side. I like the explanation given in the Preachers Outline and Sermon Bible (POSB) (8:15-18) Government, Just and Righteous, Officials, Government of David; Officials of: David is said to have reigned over all Israel, establishing a just and righteous government. A picture of the organization of his government is given in this Scripture. 1. Joab was the military commander-in-chief of David's army (2 Samuel 8:16). He was David's nephew and obviously a brilliant military strategist. 2. Jehoshaphat was appointed the recorder or historian of David's court (2 Samuel 8:16). As the recorder, he kept records of David's administration and the official documents. Perhaps he also gave public notice of David's royal commands. 3. Zadok and Ahimelech were the two major priests during David's reign. They were in charge of the Tabernacle and of the nation's worship, no doubt supervising the other priests (1 Samuel 22:20-23; 2 Samuel 15:24-35; 1 Kings 1:7-8). 4. Seraiah was the court scribe or secretary of state who drafted official documents, handled correspondence, and maintained the court records. 5. Benaiah was a military hero who commanded the king's personal bodyguard, the Kerethites and Pelethites. David's personal bodyguard was an elite troop of soldiers who were given the specific duty of protecting the king and carrying out special, difficult missions for him. 6. David's sons were royal advisors, chief officials who served as confidential advisors to the king. |

Doc You said and I quote So, your Spirit Filled love of us will certainly forgive us for trying to use language as precisely as our God and our Lord Jesus and the Apostles have done. We do not find any others providing a better pattern. There is no need to forgive you for using language precisely, where we must forgive is when you try to use that language as a facade to belittle or mock any theology in opposition to yours. You are a crafty wordsmith and you have the ability to shut most people up before they even have a chance to discuss something that you deem is beneath you. Some have complained but most simply leave the forum shaking their heads saying what is the point. This is what I object to. To me even Reformed theology has some virtue but not in your hands and the way you use it. That is what I object to and what I must keep trying to forgive. |

129 | An Old Contra-Biblical Doctrine | John 16:14 | EdB | 243687 | ||
Doc You said and I quote. "Well, as Christ said, so eloquently, your wisdom will be proved by her children. You may have difficulty in presenting such people as evidence. However, I am utterly delighted to have found Pentecostal pastors who are sound in doctrine as well as in practice. I had become fearful that your example was all that would be found anywhere in the midst of your particularly perspective.†Doc be honest had I said the same about you the post would have disappeared never to be seen again. You have no idea of my doctrine, all you have ever seen is me trying to insure a fair and equal representation of the all denominations and orthodox theologies. To do this many times I have had to come against Reformed theology and your persistence to quote it as though it were scripture. Of that I will admit guilt but for you to stand there pretend to be able to judge my doctrine is nonsense because you simply have no idea. |

130 | An Old Contra-Biblical Doctrine | John 16:14 | EdB | 243686 | ||
Hi, Ed... And in your emotional and experiential and low view of the Scriptures, how will you be able to make men obedient disciples. As you assert that Reformed theology is wrong -- without even knowing the history or the logic or the word behind it -- what tool have you found to be superior to the very Word of God? Romans 14:4 (NASB) 4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? … Where do you get off saying in my emotional and experiential and low view of Scripture? Where is that coming from? You apply labels like Christmas stickers not to discuss butin attempt to intimidate and belittle another. I know the history of Reformed theology, I know the logic, and I know the handling of the word by Reformers to make their position. What I have found is if I read Scripture literally without any manipulation of word, definition, context or cherry picking I see the Reformed theology does not line up with what I read. Reformed theology must always be defined and explained it seem like it can never be taken at face value. Man’s logic must always be used to reason it out instead of allowing the words of scripture stand on their own. You said The proof of your success will be men who walk consistently in the fruit of the Spirit. I cannot comprehend the AOG position that places such a low priority on discipleship that way. How in the world does anyone even deal with John 14 and 15 in such a fashion. What?? For a person to manifest the fruit of the Spirit is a disciple of Christ. I don’t see this as a low priority on discipleship. I see it as fruition of successful disciple making. Galatians 5:22-26 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. One explained to me, citing the AOG position paper, that the denomination believed that all the "sign" gifts could be manifest in complete absence of the fruit of the Spirit. Ask him where in the position papers it says such a thing. For you to repeat that is like me saying Reformed theology teaches pedophilia, which it does not! It is total nonsense and no where in any position paper is it even suggested. |

My dislike is not of nouns or language in general I object to labels that demean, denigrate and mock others because they do not agree with our theology. Labels are rarely used to encourage or edify. When we wield scripture or our words at a lashing sword to slice the feet out from our brethren, then we are not doing to others as we would have them do unto us. Yes Jesus did label the difference was Jesus is the truth not an opposing opinion held by mere man. Further Jesus never called us to judge or label he called us to love even our enemies. Romans 14:4 (NASB) 4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. |

132 | Man-Centered Theology | Rom 11:33 | EdB | 243684 | ||
God is always the center but the gospels are an account of man's experience in the presence of the Lord. Just as todays religious experience is. This aspect of Christianity is often forgotten by those that have not experienced God. They talk as experts but in fact they speak of things they don't know and never experienced. To say we can't experience God is to say God can not do what He chooses to do. No where in scripture does God ever say man can no longer experience God. So why discount experience? Because it does not agree with a certain theology? |

133 | God's logic is lost to man | Rom 11:33 | EdB | 243683 | ||
Romans 11:33-35 (NASB) 33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! 34 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR? 35 Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN? God's logic is lost to man. |

134 | Church Fathers? Part V | Mark 7:9 | EdB | 243680 | ||
Excuse me it was in this thread you said we must use logic to understand Genesis 1-3 Let me say this I understand Genesis not by my logic but by the illumination of the Holy Spirit and I want it no other way. |
||||||
135 | Church Fathers? Part V | Mark 7:9 | EdB | 243679 | ||
Isaiah 55:8-9 (NASB) 8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. 9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. I think trying to make a statement about God’s logic in comparison to man’s logic is a huge over step. God’s logic so far exceeds ours that there is no comparison. We can on base on our logic and things we believe are true but God’s logic is based on fact. No I don’t think you do understand the anti-intellectual aspect of some in the church. You may have heard it expressed and formed your opinion about it but I don’t think you understand at all. Man imagination is tainted with sin, as is his thinking and his logic. Many times that tainted intellect if you will devises thoughts that sound good to man but are path to death. Proverbs 16:25 (NKJV) 25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. In another post I believe you said we must use logic to understand Genesis 1-3. I pray that is not how you read scripture. I pray you read scripture not with your minds eye but with Holy Spirit opening your spirit eye. Faith can not be found in logic or intellect faith must come into the spirit birthed by the Holy Spirit. No offense but it sounds like your passion is more for your intellect than for closer relationship with Jesus. I never expect to instruct a Reformed person anymore than I would expect to instruct any from another denomination. What I try to do it get that person to allow the Holy Spirit to instruct them to the truth that only the Holy Spirit can impart. Man can not change the heart of another man only God can do that. To much is quoted these days by men that deny the full ministry of the Holy Spirit, and rather than seeing this failing within themselves they beat their chest and talk of the their mastery of logic and superb intellect. Or they allow others. Yet men that are in the trenches, touching and changing lives mostly do so in total anonymity, certain having never been quoted. The most powerful churches/preachers in the world today are the ones no one ever mentions. I am not suggesting we put on minds in neutral, to reject education, to seek ignorance. What I’m saying is many times our minds, our intellect, our logic stands in the way of us realizing the truth the Holy Spirit is trying to reveal to us. I once had a student come to me and explain that after 4 years of Bible College, 2 year of graduate work and a year in Seminary that he viewed the Bible as a technical manual. He had been so trained to think, to reason, to express, to rationalize that he lost all connection to the living word as living word. It was dead as any other text book he carried. He might have treasured the poise or thoughts but it was just another book to him. |

One counterfeit explaining why another counterfeit is a counterfeit. We are told to make disciples instead we wangle over philosophies of man. Each theology always made a point of saying why they are correct and everyone else is wrong. Where their strengths exist and where everyone else weakness lies. |

Interesting use of labels. A lot of explanation but based on opinion and assumptions. I wonder how Jesus would explain it, I doubt Jesus would have used even one label. |

138 | Church Fathers? Part V | Mark 7:9 | EdB | 243673 | ||
I think I understand the meaning of the word elenctic. Thanks! The problem is man disproving another man’s position using man’s logic. That is like saying this counterfeit dollar bill is more counterfeit than that one. To teach people to identify counterfeit money they have them handle genuine money, once they get use to handling the genuine they can immediately detect a fake bill. Likewise I no longer want to handle the counterfeit teaching of man or his theology I want to handle the truth found in scripture. Not man’s interpretation of scripture but instead what scripture really said. No changes in context, not changes in sentence structure, no changes in word meaning. I take a literal translation unless it is impossible to do so because it conflicts with established truths of scripture. |

The word infallible conveys the idea of being not open to discussion as in, this is the doctrine of the denomination. Do you consider the Canon of scripture infallible? At first blush you would probably I certainly do not. Yet I think is it safe to say you think it is so accurate you do not question it. No Pentecostals do not hold to infallibly but yet we do believe that our doctrinal truths are certain as stated by church leadership. To doubt those statements of beliefs would put us outside the beliefs of Pentecostalism and therefore no longer Pentecostal. I believe the same holds true for you. You hold the tenets of faith of Calvinism as truths therefore defining you as a Calvinist. If however you if denied Calvin’s tulips you could no longer be considered a Calvinist. So you have to believe those concepts are true. Are they infallible? No but in effect that is how you treat them do you not? Here is a quote from http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07790a.htm which makes the point perhaps better. “Without infallibility there could be no finality regarding any one of the great truths which have been identified historically with the very essence of Christianity; and it is only with those who believe in historical Christianity that the question need be discussed. Take, for instance, the mysteries of the Trinity and Incarnation. If the early Church was not infallible in her definitions regarding these truths, what compelling reason can be alleged today against the right to revive the Sabellian, or the Arian, or the Macedonian, or the Apollinarian, or the Nestorian, or the Eutychian controversies, and to defend some interpretation of these mysteries which the Church has condemned as heretical?†|
